"Is it a 'Breaking Bad' version in South Korea? Not really, but it could easily be - after all, this is the story of a smuggler who dives into drug trafficking. 'Drug King' brings an interesting look into South Korean culture in the 1970s, with several actors you may have seen around: Kang-ho Song (Tomorrow Never Knows) and Doona Bae (Cloud Atlas, Sense 8)."
