Last weekend, the movie “The Fiery Priest 2” aired with impressive viewership ratings, reaching 11.9% and 10.1% respectively.
Returning after 5 years, the film continues to revolve around the journey of priest Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) to reclaim justice. This time, he and police officer Goo Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun) go to Busan (South Korea) to search for the drug gang that harmed Sang Yeon - a high school student close to him.
According to media reviews, the reason the film received good results was because of its fast-paced, suspenseful plot, combined with many humorous elements and beautiful action scenes.
In it, Osen praised Kim Nam Gil's powerful acting, which made viewers unable to take their eyes off him. The male actor brought viewers a smart, hot-tempered but equally humorous Kim Hae Il.
Continuously appearing in difficult action scenes, or having good chemistry with co-stars also helps him score points.
Previously, sharing about his role, Kim Nam Gil commented that even though 5 years have passed, Kim Hae Il is still as angry as ever, but in this part, the character has truly found his identity through strong team spirit.
In addition to Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun), prosecutor Park Kyung Soon (Honey Lee), Ssong Sak (Ahn Chang Hwan), Oh Yo Han (Go Kyu Pil), the appearance of young police officer Koo Ja Young (BIBI), or young priest Chae Do Woo (Seo Bum June)... - people revealed to be "equally wild" have a great influence on the male lead's personality as well as the plot.
In the first 2 episodes, besides Kim Nam Gil, actors such as Kim Sung Kyun, Honey Lee, BIBI, Sung Joon... also performed their roles well.
Newsen praised Kim Sung Kyun for showing more cunning and daring for the character Dae Young, while Sports Khan commented that Sung Joon gave the audience goosebumps when transforming into Kim Hong Sik - a drug gang boss with a gentle appearance.
As the film progresses, Hae Il will not have an easy time exposing Hong Sik's drug gang, especially when the young boss has the support of the corrupt police and prosecutor Nam Doo Heon.
However, with a duration of 12 episodes (8 episodes less than season 1), the film will be told in a concise manner. In addition, Hae Il's dangerous illness is predicted to more or less affect the investigation process of the case by him and his teammates.
