After half of its broadcast, the TV series "The Fiery Priest 2" is still maintaining its form despite the many new works on Korean screens.
In the last two episodes, the show recorded ratings of 12.7% and 12.8%. At its peak, the show's viewership rating reached 15.9%, maintaining its position as the top Friday and Saturday show on all channels for three consecutive weeks.
In addition, “The Enthusiastic Priest 2” also maintained its top position in the 2049 demographic (viewers aged 20-49) with a viewership rating of 3.2%, solidifying its position as the most popular Friday-Saturday drama today.
In the latest development, priest Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) releases Bul Jang Eo's (Jang Ji Geon) gang and discovers that the martial arts experts he faces are professional assassins.
When he investigated the lizard tattoos on their arms, he discovered that the Busan (South Korea) drug gang had connections to countries in Southeast Asia and that their boss was a figure known as “Chairman”.
Meanwhile, Koo Ja Young (BIBI) used the Korean National Intelligence Service's "face search system" to track down the identities of the fugitives.
During this process, the support of police officer Goo Dae Young (Kim Sung Kyun), prosecutor Park Kyung Soon (Honey Lee), Song Sac (Ahn Chang Hwan), Oh Yo Han (Ko Kyu Pil)... helped Hae Il get closer to the truth.
They conducted a raid, arrested members of the drug trafficking gang and realized the scale of the drug gang was much larger than expected.
Wikitree commented that up to now, "The Enthusiastic Priest 2" still maintains the storytelling style of season 1, which is to carry out justice but in a humorous direction, combined with thrilling action scenes.
The charming acting of the cast, especially Kim Nam Gil, Kim Sung Kyun, Honey Lee, BIBI received positive feedback. On the channel that broadcast the drama, viewers left many comments about the chemistry of the cast, as well as concern about when the drama will release part 3, even though part 2 has not ended.
This is also the reason why the controversy about the film glorifying the male lead's self-execution of justice is gradually decreasing compared to before. On the other hand, the content of the film in recent episodes has also been more investigative and humorous.
“The Passionate Priest 2” consists of 12 episodes and will air until December 14. The work is being discussed to be shown online on Wavve and Disney+.
