What is the secret behind "Narco Saints," which shot to the top of the Korean charts following its release on the 9th, has kept that position thus far, and has since emerged fast in the global rankings, enthralling audiences all over the world?

In "Narco Saints," which tells the tale of a citizen wrongfully accused of seizing the power of the South American country's Surinam, actors Jungwoo Ha, Hwang Jung-min, Park Hae-soo, Cho Woo-jin, Jang Chen, and Yoo Yeon-Seok will deliver strong performances.

Based on their strong acting abilities in scenes where they distrust one another, the actors in "Narco Saints" create dual personalities.

1. Introduction

He is an actor from South Korea.

He began his career as an actor who mainly worked in the performing arts, such as musicals and plays, but over time he broadened his range of endeavors to include screens and cathode ray tubes, and today he is a very significant actor in broadcasting arts. Since Netflix frequently produces or provides services for many casts, labels like "Netflix exclusive actor" and "Netflix official" are typically attached.

Because he was primarily involved in the performance industry, his popularity in the cathode-ray theater was low. However, in 2017, he made an impression on the public as Lee Ji-ran in the drama "Six Flying Dragons" and Kim Je-hyuk in the drama "Prisoner Playbook," receiving a lot of love and winning the Best Actor Award at the 2nd Seoul Awards.

He won the 25th Chunsa Film Festival and the 40th Blue Dragon Film Awards for his performance as Lee Chan-woo in the 2019 movie Quantum Physics. In "Squid Game," he portrayed Cho Sang-woo, the movie's star, in the major role. "Squid Game" attracted interest abroad as it gained popularity across the globe. He created an Instagram account in response to this, and within ten days of doing so, he had amassed 2 million followers. He appeared in "Narco Saints" and "Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area" on Netflix in 2022 which is gaining notice once more.

3. Par Hae Soo's Activity (Netflix Drama Narco-Saints)

Going back and forth between NIS agent Choi Chang-ho and international dealer efforts, Park Hae-soo performed almost two roles as one person.

"Park Hae-soo made no effort to differentiate (persons). He is merely a person and not a good actor.
I made an effort to convey the concept's fun side without overdoing it." "I wanted to separate it naturally by employing a harsher and literary tone," Choi Chang-ho stated.

I didn't anticipate the phrase "did you eat well?" from the play to gain popularity. When I was working on the piece, I had no idea it would become a popular term among the audience. We frequently use it, therefore it is not a challenging word. In Korea, individuals frequently ask one other, "Have you eaten?" It immediately sticks well. He recalled, "I remember composing it in a lighthearted way while researching the character." "I received a call from friends who had lost touch with me. "Have you eaten?" they all texted. I was unaware that it would be a striking scene. In actuality, isn't it all up to the audience? I am grateful," he said.

In addition, Choi Chang-ho discussed his ideas on how to capture Jeon Yo-hwan (played by Hwang Jung-min) by employing a civilian named Kang In-gu (played by Jungwoo Ha). I also needed motivation, and I talked to the director numerous times, so the line was, "Do you know how soiled the Korean passport has gotten because of you? ", stated Choi Chang-ho of his character: "I don't think I've driven civilians into the battle zone only because of my devotion to the country. "To apprehend Jeon Yo-hwan, he said, "I think there was dedicated to not only the country but also a sense of dedication and obligation." What was his on-screen chemistry as Kang In-gu with Jungwoo Ha? "I loved her a lot.

He was being naughty since he was standing very next to me when I assumed he was a jovial senior. He employs a lot of humorous jokes as a result of my pinching his butt. We laughed at each other and recorded it, he said, "maybe because I responded to it well.

He stated about Hwang Jung-min, "He is an actor himself. At the scene, the same was true. He was a senior who continually researched and grew up by transcribing scripts, so I felt he was fantastic as I continued to practice by recording other people's lines.  He is the type of person that radiates enthusiasm even when he is performing on stage.  Without incredibly strong energy, it is not conceivable. The elderly person appears to be able to use energy and then replenish it. I enjoy the senior in the movie, but I can't adequately express the senior's charisma and enthusiasm on stage, he remarked.

"In the initial face-to-face interaction with my senior, I must admit that I was a little anxious. I'll be honest—I was terrified and anxious. I made an effort to go past it. I also made an effort to stare at you with more vigor. I had shivers when I saw a little change in the hue of my senior's eyes. It was enjoyable to do so "He admitted it.
