The Fiery Priest (2019)

The best!!!! Perfect Drama!! A must Watch

This is literally the best drama i've ever watched. After watching over 50 chinese and korean dramas, this one is the absolute favorite. It made me laugh out loud . The story is so good. The twists are funny as well as breath taking. The actors were perfect. So many interesting, funny as well as serious characters. You will end up falling in love with the male lead, the fiery priest, Father Kim Hae Il. He really nailed the role.
The very first episode made me sleepy, but from the second episode, i got completely hooked. I didn't know that a crime investigation drama can be so interesting and funny. There is no cheesy romance or useless love triangles but Only perfect chemistry between the main characters. The ending was literally the best!! So fantastic!! whoever is the mastermind behind this drama, hats off!

Fiery and comedy!

I watched this while I was away on a business trip. Instead of going out and exploring the place I’ve been to, i’ve spent my time finishing this until I go back to Manila. It did not disappoint. A series combined with different genre. Depicting religion, principle, compassion, social responsibility, a feel good movie. I want to commend every cast, but special mention to Actor Go Jun. Although his role was realy evil, there was a charming side on him. Tried researching a bit and then saw some pic that he is light to look at, not that hard face he always have. Congratulations to everyone! Loved it!

Comfort Comic Book Series

This has become my comfort series. It touches on deep matters of forgiveness and power without taking it's self too seriously. Sometimes, I can find the sense of humour in these sorts of shows a little childish but this surprisingly manages to blend the cartoonish humour with a deep subject.

The lead is described as being like a comic book character and that's how I feel about the serious as whole. It's like a visual comic book. It is both fantastical and believable and appeals to my sense of humour.
Kim Nam Gil is glorious to look at and is clearly a pro, believably conveying a variety of emotions from cartoon hell raiser to a vulnerable man begging to God on his knees. His character, Kim Hae-il is one of my favourite types of characters. He's hot headed and passionate but has a strong sense of himself and what he stands for. He's also hilarious. He's the type of hero I love to see. When he wins a fight, I'm applauding him or I know he's about to eff up some assholes. What can be described as mistakes were enemy retaliations.

This is why I love the comic book feel to it all. If it were a regular drama, I would feel like he's a bit much. He has to slip up somewhere but because of that added element, I find myself routing for him like Batman. I want the hero to be the hero. Someone everyone can rely on. It's that 'I will find you and I will kill you' kind of badassery and you believe him.

The villains are gloriously hateable just simply for being greedy people. No big evil plot, no mastermind, just plain, old human greed. They even have them slow-mo smile during moments of them winning. And I thoroughly enjoyed watching them be brought to justice one by one.

Both sides managing to walk the fine line being comic book character and relatable human, and for me personally, I just simply love the idea of a Batman type priest. That added element of spiritual peace, forgiveness and redemption just feels like that added touch at the end of a hero plot, where you are left with an uplifted satisfied feeling.

I am looking forward to season 2 .

The best comedy drama that you never knew existed until just now

I'll start by saying I do not give out perfect 10.0 scores lightly, I typically find some aspect of a series could use improvement. That said I'm glad to report that imho, as far as comedic dramas are concerned The Fiery Priest is about as close to perfection as you will ever find.

First, the casting is perfect for everyone and the individual performances in this series are superb. Just try not to fall in love with the entire cast by the end of the series, there isn't a weak actor in the bunch and every single character has a significant arc in one way or another.

The storyline is engaging and it never stalls, each episode peels back another layer to the onion so to speak while still keeping a rock steady pace from ep to ep.

But most important of all is that every single episode of this drama is solidly entertaining, genuinely funny and quite simply just a pleasure to watch. The hour goes by in what feels like 15 minutes and you will be wishing there was more to go by the end. There's not much to dislike here so do yourself the favor of giving this series a shot, I promise it won't disappoint.

BEST DRAMA TO ENTERTAIN

I gotta say this film helps me a lot since I've felt quite bad recently and watching this made me laugh so hard.
The character development is brilliant, as each of them has their own story and pain that lead to their choices , especially Michael Kim ( he's df one of my best male character ever )
I love the fact that there's great amount of chemistry among the members in the team, not just focusing on anyone or trying to develop the romantic factor.
The most important part is the humor in every scene. You can feel emotional in a scene then turn to laugh immediately a second later. And that what makes me fall for this film.
And they got Kim Nam Gil in the cast, since I'm a big fan of him, there's no doubt that he portray the role perfectly. From the hot-tempered one to the emotional and caring for others, plus the action scenes are fantasting.
I should have watched this film sooner, but better late than never, I'm glad I finally watched this.
Also can't wait to see the Season 2 coming out!

Review:-The Fiery Priest (2019)

The Priest Kim Nam Gill is using his Bidam like skills on these bad people. Love it. So happy that this is now on Netflix and I can watch the whole thing and not just bits. It starts hard and goes hard. He’s so awesome. We so love his fighting skills makes us just fangirl all over him. Such a babe. He looks big with his priest gears on but underneath his clothes he’s still the slim gorgeous guy we know and love.

He was an undercover agent for the NIS who became a priest. He looks so immaculate in black, love him. He is so good at acting and in this drama he’s funny too. I have missed watching this formidable, impressive and terrifying actor.

It really is a sad story about the other Priest that was murdered and made out to be a molestor and a thief when he was one of the good ones and he wasn’t allowed to be buried in the cemetery because they said that he had committed suicide. I don’t understand those catholic ways/traditions. So that priest had saved his life after he had been attacked and was dying. That is how he became a priest.

Oh this is so much better than the previews I watched and so deserving of the all the awards that it won for 2019. This is the cleverest and funniest Korea Drama I have ever watched. I love these Korean women when they play badass fighters. Geum Sae Rok/Seo Seung Ah was the one in this one a new young Korean actor I hadn’t seen before. She was so cool.

This drama has everything in it, thrills, spills, crime, comedy, mystery, friendship, drama and badass action from both males and females. Its such an incredible and powerful drama played by amazing and extraordinary actors. Most of them with superb and astounding Martial Arts talents expertise and techniques.

The Priest Kim Nam Gil/Kim Hae Il / Michael is up against some ruthless, heartless and vindictive foe not just the criminals but his old adversaries from his secret agent history. All of them relentless , cruel and merciless. All trying to hurt him deeply because of some grudge that have against him. They are mercenaries hired by Kim Min Jae/Lee Joong Kwon [NIS agent] to hurt him and his friends. They all served together in the NIS. This ex-agent has driven the priest over the edge. Right till the end they kept using his loved ones as bait to aggravate his anger because he Kim Hae Il had anger issues that he had little control over.. The last episode was reminiscent of Bidam when his enemies brought 15 men to fight him. Seems like they were jealous of his efficiency and his clinical nature when working. It wasn’t as gory as Bidam because he didn’t have a sword but he was just as determined and effective. It was like a fighting show. Its like Bidam gets his redemption ……. Just my opinion.

Go Joon/Hwang Cheol Bum was the protagonist in this drama but I couldn’t help but feel something pitiful for this guy. One of those bad boys that make your heart flutter during parts of the story and you had to admire his fighting skills. The mercenaries are after him as well. He’s a spunk when he’s dress up in normal clothes and not his usual over dressing. Although broken hearted,upset and seemed to have killer instincts he still seemed to have a heart. His men meant a lot to him even though he treated them cruelly at times.

I never thought a drama about a priest could be so fine and so well constructed or that I would enjoy it so much but Kim Nam Dam over extended himself. So worthy of being on my favourite actors list. Such an outstanding drama. Woah!
