Fighting injustice with furious fists in The Fiery Priest 2
by solstices
Kim Nam-gil, Honey Lee
Five years after SBS’s The Fiery Priest brought hot-blooded justice and slapstick hilarity to our screens, the action-comedy is back for a second season of crime-fighting. With most of our original team regrouping, the twelve-episode sequel is poised to rekindle fond memories while forging ahead into new territory, as headstrong as ever.
Kim Nam-gil (Song of the Bandits) stars once again as the quick-tempered Catholic priest Kim Hae-il, whose fists fly faster than one can say “Amen.” With a traumatic past from his ex-NIS agent days, Hae-il is driven by anger, redemption, and an unwavering moral compass. Reprising her role, Honey Lee (Knight Flower) has Hae-il’s back as the brazenly ambitious prosecutor Park Kyung-seon, who won’t hesitate to mow down anything and anyone that stands in her way.
To round out our main trio, Kim Sung-kyun (Moving) is ready to cuff more baddies as the violent crimes detective Gu Dae-young. From a bumbling pushover to a fully-fledged fighter, the once-timid Dae-young has come a long way, cementing himself as a dependable partner to Hae-il. While it’s a pity Geum Sae-rok (Soundtrack #2) won’t be returning, we have a new officer on the block to fill her shoes. BIBI (The Worst of Evil) will join our team as Gu Ja-young, a Busan cop in an underappreciated drugs team — and judging by her name, it seems like justice runs in the Gu family veins.
As for our villains, it’s an Island reunion with Sung Joon (Call It Love) and our hero crossing blades yet again. After climbing up the ranks of the Laos cartel he’d been sold to as an orphan child, the drug king Kim Hong-shik has his sights on Busan as the next stage of his operation. He’s already joined hands with the corrupt prosecutor Nam Doo-heon, played by Seo Hyun-woo (A Shop For Killers), whose lack of scruples has earned him no shortage of promotions by his equally immoral superiors. Together, their insatiable greed will pose a whole new threat to our heroes. Hopefully we’ll get some cameos from Season 1’s cast, too — I’ll certainly be overjoyed to see our cinnamon roll priest Jeon Sung-woo (Goodbye Earth) reunite with his favorite hyung.
Helmed by PD Park Bo-ram (Through the Darkness) and scriptwriter Park Jae-beom (Vincenzo), the duo behind the first season, The Fiery Priest 2 is slated for an October 18 premiere.

She most definitely is, but not in this particular photo: this is a magazine shoot from 5 years ago.

I recognised that it wasn’t a recent one after I posted my first comment.

Yes, I saw and I considered deleting my comment. But then I wasn't sure how you'd react if you received a notification that someone replied to your comment and then the reply is gone. So I just ended up in a decision freeze and did nothing at all in the end. Sorry!

Ahhh, the corruption. I can't stand the corruption which is why I've not finished the first season. Maybe I'll force myself before S2 happens.
Or maybe it's just not meant to be for me haha

Bwahahaha, what's with their faces on that photo?)))
On the bright side of things, it's only 12 episodes! OG being 4-5 hours too long was my main problem with the overall amazing show, so a more compact length is certainly good. Let our favorite Father Hot
tie-blooded kick more corrupt asses in the name of God!P.S. Hopefully soundtrack delivers just like before.

The pics don't seem to be in-drama or promotional pictures. Almost as if they are from another event. Maybe they don't want to reveal the "look" too soon.

@seeker Not even a whiff of a memory here! 😁 It just looked like High Cut photos, I searched for it.

Oh! definitely memory of the magazine. Are their photographs that distinctive.

Don't know about distinctive really... Just less insanely weird than like Vogue??😂 Vogue seem like they are on a mission to present the actors as badly dressed and styled and positioned as possible 😁 High Cut ones are usually more to my taste...

Oh its a glorious day for me! We have rain clouds covering the sky today and I'm sure they are crying for joy with me to have a S2 coming up! This is one of my ALL time favorites and one I can re watch forever without getting tired of. I love Kim Nam-gil and Honey Lee together again and most of the cast returning as well. Happy days are ahead!

Oh how great to see that Fiety Priest 2 has moved on from a rumour to a premiere date! I can't wait for October and will watch this (and 🙏 that'll be as good as the first season was). But one question hasn't been answered here - where is our gambling nun? Won't she be returning? She was a hoot! 🥳
