The "Fiery Priest" is on Fire while in Action! (BGM music starts, haha) Mindless Fun Ride!!

(NOTE: Check out my Reviews for both the seasons, for similarities n differences between S1 n S2)

Alert: Watch this only,
if U are a fan of Kim Nam Gil,
a fan of mindless silly comedy / Slapstick comedy dramas
Or
In a mood for a Light Drama without any expectation of an interesting or a gripping suspense, just to sit back, relax n watch one to pass the time! πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
Else
Some may find this, Boring.

I watched this Only for Namgil n even writing a review Only bcz of himπŸ˜‚

Just BE AWARE that this has Zero gripping /thought provoking plot, Zero to Little mystery but just a mediocre comedy, little exaggerated reactions and overacting for comedic purposes.

It's just the usual formula of 1 Hero, 1 Villain n a Fight between them. Hero saving good people with a touch of murder of his close ones n so on a Revenge & Justice seeking journey with the help of a team of comedy characters.

Can be watched for your favourite actors n to pass the time mindlessly without any toxic storylines. Just a Light Drama.

A mix of action + comedy + crime

Nam Gil Admirers will Love to watch him in Action! ☺️
Though the drama is mediocre, ABSOLUTELY LOVED Nam Gil's Sarcastic n Bold Character πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

The only little mystery here is about Who the exact killer is, of senior father from the bad guys team.
This suspense is maintained till the endπŸ‘ŒπŸ»

***** ACTORS / CHARACTERS:
Love Nam Gil's character a lot - The Fiery, the Bold, the Sarcastic πŸ˜‚ but Kind Hearted😊
But very short tempered and that generates the comedyπŸ˜‚
Nam Gil is so handsome with his sarcastic Smirks, haha
Nam Gil's role, truly a "Fiery" Priest!

His character is the ONLY Pillar to this story, the ONLY Attraction in this drama!! ✨

I love his evil sarcastic smirks given to bad guys.
If he gives one, it means that he is about kick someone and the music (that BGM) starts!πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Whenever there is any injustice around him, the Savage Angry Beast inside this NIS agent turned Priest, awakens n the comedy follows while he is punishing the bad or fighting for the justice.

His Fight sequences are VERY GOOD

Would love to watch the same character of Nam gil with the same personality n not being a Priest, with romance or bromance, in a Crime Action Comedy or a Crime Thriller ✨✨
(The thought itself is so interesting! 🀀)

**
Kim Sung Kyun's role is the funniest, his comedic facial expressions are pure fun to watch!
His Bickering with the Priest is the funniest πŸ˜‚πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

**
Lee Ha Nee's character is Good for a comedy genre but a bit exaggerated reactions and expressions, little hyper active πŸ˜‚

Maybe, such a hyper active bold female character is demanded by the story in the team not only for some action but also for comedy πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Since ML is a priest, shouldn't expect Romance 🀭
But ML n FL's bromance (πŸ˜‚) / friendship is good.
Their bickering initially is funny but as the story progresses, formed a close friendly bond to kick the bad guys as a team!
It's like Two devils in action! πŸ˜‚
(No offense meant for devil / priest terms, meant Good kind hearted devils πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘πŸ»)

(Here in S1,
there are few moments of mild romance between ML n FL but then, they themselves take back their hidden flirty dialogues , since he is a priestπŸ˜‚
This generates the mindless comedy πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Also For comedy purposes, in 1-2 episodes:
U can find little Bromance of our priest with the small priest (Jeon Sung woo's role)πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

Also U can see the police gal (Geum Sae Rok's role) fangirling over the priest πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ
)

**
Go Jun is so handsome n did the bad guy role well.

**
The other characters, the helping team of the priest are good n funny.
The actors did their roles well

Sae Rok's role is a bold police officer n her fight scenes are goodπŸ‘ŒπŸ»

**
To be honest, LOVED Nam Gil's , Sung Kyun's (the funny piece with priest all the timeπŸ˜‚) n Go Jun's roles, the Most.
ONLY THESE CHARACTERS ARE MORE INTERESTING out of all other characters.

*****
OST - that music suits well to the mood of the drama.

The instrumental bgm musics used for the Fiery Priest in Action or for FL, are cool πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

*****
At the first look, one might feel that
S1 is better than S2 since it's the same story formula but
S1 n S2 have their own charms, even though it's the same story formula.

Just for Nam Gil's role,
a true Fiery & Justice seeking one n
to watch more of Nam gil as a punisher,
Need a S2 πŸ‘ŒπŸ»
(n not for the usual routine storyπŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈ)

***** RATING:
8.5 / 10 for the joy ride

(7 for the story and the mediocre comedy.

8.5 only bcz of Nam Gil's Lovely Fiery character n impressive acting πŸ˜ƒ
Enjoyed this show only bcz of his role n acting πŸ‘ŒπŸ»)

**** My Admiration for Nam Gil 😁:
I fell in love with his acting from Crime Thriller "Through the Darkness" πŸ’–
n then watched Action Comedy "The Fiery Priest "

The variations in his roles in these two dramas are Amazing, SURPRISED ME alot.

There, as a Cold Introvert person, who never talks (dark vibes surrounding him n so brooding)
Here, as a fiery n yet funny n lively person, who never stops talking n smiling, punishing the bad guys and giving evil smirks to them, haha

There, I always wanted him to smile or speak out πŸ˜…
Here, am surprised to see him talking non-stop πŸ˜‚

He just slayed both the roles though they are extremes in nature n in personality.

Anyways,
Introvert analysing criminals (Through the Darkness) to
A Fiery smiley (comedic in The Fiery Priest) to
An Emotional One side lover / stalker (in another drama),
U can clearly see the differences in each of his roles n in his acting.

He is a PROLIFIC actor! 🀍

And so the Saga of me, watching every drama of his, Started
If he is in a project, I'm in! πŸ˜‚

Oh my Nam Gil Oppa! πŸ’•
What have U done to my poor heart !! 🀭
