Yoon Jong-bin is the director and co-writer of the South Korean streaming television series Narco Saints, which stars Ha Jung-woo, Hwang Jung-min, Park Hae-soo, Jo Woo-jin, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Nubel Feliz Yan. Based on actual events, the show portrays a regular businessman who is forced to risk his life by assisting government authorities on a covert mission to apprehend a South Korean drug kingpin operating in Suriname. In order to create comparisons to Netflix’s previous similarly-premised series Narcos (2015–2017) and Narcos: Mexico (2018–2021), the latter series’ “play next,” which links to Narco-Saints, it was published on September 9, 2022, along with an English language dub renamed Narco-Saints.
