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!

Someone help, I think I cracked a rib
Indulge yourself in this hilarious faux-crime drama and ignore everything that looks like plot contrivances. I haven't laughed this hard in forever and I mean the full-bellyache tears running down my face-kind of laughter. It certainly helped that the drama did not take itself too seriously even though there were some heavy themes being showcased. I will def rewatch it whenever I need a little pick me up.XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

AN INCREDIBLE, TOP-TIER SERIES I'VE EVER WATCHED
i rarely give a 10/10 rating and this series definitely deserve this! every casts are shining and had been given a proper spotlight and adequate screentime accordingly to their roles ofc. this is rare for a series, that's what i liked the most on this series. like, every role is perfectly suited for every characters. the director was a genius for this. infact, the actors were absolutely versatile to the point that they can do whatever role would be given to them!! the comedic effect isn't cringe, wah, i was really stunned to speak. this is the best! this is highly beyond recommended! this is the type of series that will make you binge-watch for a day/week! And the ending... THE ENDING WAS A BLAST! IT WAS A BANGER!Was this review helpful to you?
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!

Great and funny
Loved this drama. Made my husband and I laugh OUT LOUD! Easy show to binge watch. The cast did an amazing job of acting the wonderful story. It was very enjoyable to watch their chemistry and the way the cast acted their parts made the story very believable. Loved the way all of the characters developed and changed. If you need and want something to watch that is entertaining, that will make you feel for the characters, and make you laugh out loud this drama is for you. You won't regret your time spent watching this one!Was this review helpful to you?
I loved it
To the music aspect, I honestly didn't gave it attention to it because I was so focused on the story. In my opinion everything was so good. The plot, the cast, the acting. It started so good that I had to continue, and I'm that kind of person, if the beginning doesn't impress me I would drop it after 2 episodes. But i think this is one of the few dramas that I've watched as soon as the english subs came out. It started great amd it ended great. Totally recommended if you like comedy, crime and action mixed up perfectly.Was this review helpful to you?

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.

Mockery of priests and detectives plus corrupt officials .. All farce nothing serious
I watched this drama in 2022 because of all the hype and the raving reviews about it ,, also many dramas quoted from this drama some scenes as if it was Iconic ,, I had to watch itat first I found it ridiculous and irritating at times ... they introduced a heavy criminal case but they handled it horribly with all the mockery and the comedic parts as if it's not a real case to solve
they showed the corruption in the most irritating way ,, those people are evil and they act funny not joker funny but stupidly funny
I didn't like the first part of the drama and hated the female lead to be honest ,, she got on my nerves but then after episode eight something changed and it became more serious and less irritating ,,, people tried to make amends and to act right
I began to love the drama and endured all the stupid fun also the tenth scenes of people eating thorough out every episode
Every single episode you will find that there is people eating scene every three to five minutes ,, it was un bearable especially while I'm fasting ,, I noticed how much food and eating scenes are there
My review seemed more like complaining about the drama but honestly I did like it the second half of it especially towards the ending ,, I cried towards the ending and fell in love with all of them even the female lead ,, she grew on me
didn't like the poop scene though it was disgusting ,, the character that was wearing bob marley's hair was annoying and not funny at all
I recommend it for comical relieve not as a serious drama
the male lead is amazing ,, I love his acting and you will love the rest of the cast towards the ending

A Must Watch
I just finished watching this series and I have to say for some odd reason I'm ready to rewatch this again and I usually don't rewatch Korean dramas I've seen.The main character who I'm not familiar with was truly bad a* throughout the whole series. The whole cast had this special chemistry that made me want to watch all of this in one setting.
The fighting scenes were so top notch that I went into kid mode and kept rewinding and squealing...Sad I know but if anyone has watched this there's one particular scene where fighting occurs that threw me for a loop. That person became my favorite.
I'm not really big into female Korean actresses but the female cop was awesome. Except for the 'hip hop' scenes. Yeah, I cringed and was glad she didn't 'rap' too often.
The comedy in this had me rewinding and watching over and over. I never knew so many tears could come out of my eyes in every episode.
Since I'm not good with names, especially foreign names I'm just going to say the guy with the bob was my favorite. Poor guy got kicked and bounced up so fast only to fall the way he stood had me in tears!
Even the bumbling cop who surprised me throughout the series.
My least favorite of course were the bad guys but I also wasn't too fond of the prosecutor. Her constant 'Phoenix Sun' got on my nerves. Maybe it was the way her voice sounded. I hate female voices that are high and squeaky...ugh!
I definitely loved the fact that this was just comedy, mystery, and action. No sappy romances anywhere! These are my new descriptions for anything Korean right now.
Now that this one is done....going to find another to watch. Hope it's like this one.
