I'm not sure what kind of drugs this drama was on, but them was some good ones.

There are so many things to love about The Fiery Priest. The acting is on point, the Ost is the bomb, and the storyline is easy to follow with a clear endgame. This is one of those dramas that could have easily been a nail-biting thriller, what with the priest and his backstory, but they chose to go the comedy plus action route and I'm not upset. This is full of super cheesy moments that are balanced with lovely friendships and action scenes galore. Plus, this is full of so many great glow-ups. They crammed as many slow motion "epic" scenes as possible which made it more fun to watch. I'm so here for the priest's revenge/righteous glow-up near the end. There's also enough character development to satisfy the growing pains in this drama.

There are a couple things about this that are a little off-putting. For one, for the first half of this drama, the bad guys won time and time again. The imbalance is a little hard watch, but right around the half way mark it starts to really get good, so hold on. It's worth it.

Secondly, the comedy, while it will have you laughing at the absurdity, is sometimes a little ill timed. They could have almost made this a little bit more serious and I wouldn't have minded. That being said, because of the seriousness of the plot, I think they tried to balance it out with the comedy aspect. But the ridiculous moments are fun to watch.

Also, this isn't really a con, but there isn't any romance in this. Just some good, well-structured friendships and that more than makes up for the lack of romance.

Despite its cons, it has many pros and you should definitely give it a try. Just be prepared for some major silliness.
