Aired in 2019, the film "The Fiery Priest" tells the story of the journey of cooperation to discover the mysterious case of Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) - a priest with obsessive-compulsive disorder, Goo Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun) - a dedicated police officer and female prosecutor Park Kyung Soon (Honey Lee).
Returning after 5 years, the SBS work that once achieved a rating of 22% received much attention. In addition to the 3 main characters, the film has the appearance of new faces including Sung Joon (as Kim Hong Sik - a drug gang boss), Seo Hyun Woo (as Nam Doo Heon - a corrupt prosecutor) and BIBI (as Koo Ja Young - a young police officer in the Narcotics Investigation Unit).
In a series of behind-the-scenes photos and videos, Kim Nam Gil's male lead Kim Hae Il is said to still maintain his seriousness when confronting evil as well as his flexible martial arts skills and necessary humor.
The actor is also very excited to wait for the film to be released. He revealed that in part 2, the main setting is in Busan (South Korea), so there will be an expanded scale and many things to see. He also hopes that the combination of familiar faces from part 1 and new faces in part 2 will make viewers excited.
"Since everyone has been waiting for so long, I promise to bring an enjoyable experience that meets your expectations. We are all working hard to create a great work for the audience," said Kim Nam Gil.
Meanwhile, the female lead Honey Lee revealed: "In part 1, Park Kyung Sun was originally a corrupt prosecutor but turned into an upright person after meeting Cha Kim Hae Il. In part 2, the two will continue to be allies.
Previously, Kyung Sun didn't have much to rely on in physical confrontations, except for her courage. But in season 2, she will have some action scenes. I think that will make things more interesting."
For Kim Sung Kyun, his police officer character Goo Dae Young will also become braver and stronger in part 2. For him, this is an entertaining movie that can bring laughter to viewers.
Meanwhile, the production team confirmed that the story of the film "The Passionate Priest 2" would not be able to continue without Kim Nam Gil. "In part 2, the actor's passionate performance will bring more joy and emotions than expected."
With Honey Lee, they commented that "Korea's most beautiful Miss" is "a treasure on set", and Kim Sung Kyun is "a great actor who adds to the character's appeal with his strong acting skills".
