28. Tale of Three Cities and the Drug Lords (Pt.1)
What Should I Watch? by TK
Episode notes
Lord: a powerful man in medieval Europe, who owned a lot of land and property -Oxford English Dictionary.Many are familiar with Colombia and Mexico's cartels but would you believe it if there was a Korean drug lord? His cartel was based in Suriname, even lesser known country than the Korean drug lord himself. And the word 'drug lord' is perfect for him because he owned so much of what made Suriname including befriending the then-president. Although it is a TV show, the Korean drama, Narco-Saints is based on a true story just like the popular Netflix shows, Narcos and Narcos: Mexico. Mary is back and we are dissecting the world of drug business for the next two weeks; Mary covers Pablo Escobar and Félix Gallardo, and I'm presenting the Korean drug lord, Pastor John.
