Love love it. Realistic scripts & scenes. Can’t wait for the next episodes. Why is the rating so low?
March 3rd, 2019 at 7:38 pm
I’m lovinnnngg this!!! SO MUCH

By coincidence , this is the third drama in a short time I am watching with LEE HA NUI in a lead role. ( after “Modern Farmer and Rebel: Thief Who Stole The People “)
And surprised her drama-list is rather short.
Why ?
She is a beauty for sure, but her acting is on toplevel, full of energy.
And she is very well able to portray completely different types of characters.
For me she is in the same superleague , on par with Ha Ji Won, Shin Min Ah, Moon Geun Young and Gong Hyo Jin, to name a few.
( There are only a few in that league in my humble opinion )
Glad to see her here !

am enjoying this series…..

10: hank Marvin,
Lee Ha Nui was ex Miss Korea. And her current boyfriend is one of GOD’s guys, who is also an actor Yoon Kye-sang. And I agree she’s a pretty good actress.
March 16th, 2019 at 9:53 am
I really love Lee Ha Nui and Kim Nam Gil scenes💓
March 23rd, 2019 at 7:26 pm
Lol! The homage to “Mr Sunshine” at the end of 22 was just too funny. I was expecting it cos the prior scenes were leading towards it.
I just love this drama. Both Nam Gil and Ha Nui are friggin’ awesome.
Ha Nui being cast as prosecutor Park clinched it. She brings depth to the character, it is such joy to watch her performance.
March 24th, 2019 at 9:11 am
Lee Ha Nee perfectly portrays Prosecutor Park. Can’t describe how much I adore her. ❤
The scenes of Father Kim & Prosecutor Park are superpower 👍 Thanks to their scenes I laugh alot. Esp ep 23-24 (12).
I really enjoy wathing this drama. It deserves many awards on SBS Drama Award 2019. Esp Lee HaNee and the director.

I am surprised that the rating of this drama in Korea is so high, not my cup of tea. I only peep at the TV when my wife is watching, the story telling is too crazy for my taste but I guess people like it as a comedy.
May 5th, 2019 at 1:50 am
Wow I love it
July 13th, 2019 at 12:10 am
Wasn’t sure about this one since it’s not my favorite genre, but it’s gotten a lot of positive feedback, so I think I should check The Fiery Priest out 🙂

One of the best comedy KDrama I’ve watched so far. Love the chemistry between all the characters and I like how it’s a crime investigation drama with lots of humour in it! What a unique combination of genres … and of course Kim Nam Gil as the priest keeps you wanting for more of the drama!
