The Drug King

You run a tiny fishing boat in Busan of the 1970s. One deal drops you into the meth trade. Wild ambition carves you a second skin—pillars of the town by daylight, prince of poison by night. Woo Min-ho frames the era through neon and shadows, letting silence speak louder than gunfire.
