[DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD!]

“Shouldn’t all priests be forgiving, and kind, and…?” In “The Fiery Priest”, hot-tempered Father Kim Hae-Il (Kim Nam-Gil) breaks the stereotype of priests.

Father Kim has a different stance when it comes to people who attend services only to make themselves feel better, “Those who only attend services so that they can sin in peace won’t go to heaven even if they take a shower in holy water.”

Not only did Father Kim charm viewers with his surprising bad temper as a priest, but other characters have also caught viewers’ attention with their hilarious actions.

Father Kim Hae-Il (Kim Nam-Gil) who is an adorable and loyal messenger of God

Breaking rules in the church, such as eating, is a no for Father Kim, no matter how hungry you are.

When anger fills up Father Kim’s head, no matter where he’s at, he goes, “Darn it!” But he doesn’t forget to pray after that.

Father Kim doesn’t forget to spread the love by buying dumplings for others even when he’s drunk.

They say true friends become more alike when they spend time with each other. Sister Kim and Father Kim may not really be friends in the beginning, but since this theory fits them, maybe… they are just meant to be friends.

In addition to developing a bad temper, Sister Kim adds a personal touch to that by throwing the wet blankets all too often.

“The Fiery Priest” is focusing more on hilarious scenes and slowing down on the main story as of current. There are too many corrupted characters in the drama and it seems as if Father Kim is fighting for justice on his own. These scenes are a little painful to watch, you’ll see detectives lying and finding excuses to help villains slip out of trouble blatantly.

But we still have many episodes left to go! Hopefully, the story could pick up its pace in its future episodes and those corrupted characters could start helping out as soon as possible.
