Original Crew Reassembles

Kim Nam Gil, the award-winning actor known for his roles in “The Great Queen Seondok” and “Island,” will once again portray the hot-headed and quick-witted Father Hae-in. Joining him is Kim Sung Kyun, who stole hearts (and laughs) as the timid detective Goo Dae-young in the show’s first season. He’ll be back to provide some hilarious counterpoint to Father Hae-in’s fiery personality.

Honey Lee, who impressed audiences in “Killing Romance” and “One The Woman,” will reprise her role as the intelligent and beautiful prosecutor Park Kyung-sun. These three characters formed a delightfully dysfunctional yet effective team in season one, and their return promises a thrilling and entertaining ride for viewers.

New Blood Joins the Fray

Adding fresh energy to the upcoming season is the exciting news that soloist and actress BIBI is in talks to join the cast. While details about her character haven’t been officially revealed, reports suggest she’ll be portraying a new female detective. Her addition promises to bring a new dynamic to the investigative team and is sure to spark curiosity among fans.

A Look Back at Season One

For those unfamiliar with the show, “The Fiery Priest” tells the story of a hot-tempered Catholic priest named Father Hae-in who becomes embroiled in a murder investigation. Partnering with a timid detective, they join forces with a beautiful and intelligent prosecutor to find the truth behind the mysterious death of a senior priest. The show’s blend of action, humor, and suspense quickly captured viewers’ hearts, propelling it to record-breaking ratings in South Korea.

What to Expect in Season Two

While plot details for season two are still under wraps, one thing is certain: the wait is almost over. The series is expected to premiere later this year, either on SBS or Disney+ networks. With the original cast back together and a talented newcomer joining the mix, “The Fiery Priest” season two is sure to be a must-watch for fans of Korean dramas and anyone who enjoys a good dose of action-packed entertainment.
