Kim Nam Gil should be enough to make one want to watch anything he's in -- Fiery indeed!

The Fiery Priest is everything from action to comedy to suspense and thrills. Nothing about this drama is wrong, from the acting (Kim Nam Gil and all other actors) to the writing to the directing and the fight scenes just fantastic. I've been following Kim Nam Gil for quite a while now. Not only is he a talented actor but a great person. I've enjoyed him starting from his "When Spring Comes" days to date and loved everything about him as a catholic priest with a fiery temper and a twist. To say that he was perfect for this role and the drama is an understatement. His acting is on point, be it in the comedic moments or the sad ones. Finding out he and most of his teammates filmed all their fighting scenes themselves made me appreciate the drama even more but Kim Nam Gil even more. He made me swoon more than I already do, something I didn't think possible. He more than deserved the award he received as best actor for the drama.

To that, credit must be given where due. The storyline, script, character development, and backstories were so well done. The comedic moments were so good I couldn't stop laughing, and I especially loved all the church scenes and characters with Father Kim leading the fray to affect the change he wanted not just for his district but the nation. As great as Kim Nam Gil was in his role, he couldn't have done it without his other leads in Kim Sung Kyun, Lee Ha Nui, Go Joon (he melts me every time he is on screen), Geum Sae Rok. And the support he received from Jeon Sung Woo, Ahn Chang Hwan, Baek Ji Won (Sister Sarah) I have to say I couldn't get enough of her and Eum Moon Suk in his role as Jang Ryong, what unique talents they all are-- I was in awe of them.

There's nothing I didn't like about this series; I even loved the OSTs. I was thrilled to know there may be a second season and patiently, or should I say impatiently await its release, either way, I'm beyond psyched for it and Kim Nam Gil for reprising his role as Father Kim.
