This could have gone so wrong...

For a while now, Netflix kept suggesting this drama to me because I'd watched THE K2. And each time, I ignored it watched something else. I mean, who wants to watch a priest fight crime? This guy was no father Brown after all.

Finally, I gave in and watched.

Oh wow, funny and a delight.

The story could have gone downhill fast, let's admit that. Especially if they'd written a priest out there kicking butts without a reason. The writers wound a great tale, a great background for Father Michael (Kim), they gave him a reason to be who he is and a goal, a mission to accomplish.

Sure, the background story broke my heart but it was well thought out.

The comedy in this drama isn't for everyone. And at times there are some exaggerations, but I've seen worse (Ossan's Love *cough*).

The secondary characters added to this made for an amazing ensemble of characters with personalities that are worth the watch. They add spice to the Fiery Priest, giving an all round great watch. If nothing else, the rapping detective alone is worth the watch.

The Fiery Priest was funny, dramatic, heartfelt and action packed--I love martial arts in anything so I enjoyed that part of it immensely.

Recommended.
