The Fiery Priest
열혈사제Checked and re-read
Forty half hours of a short-tempered priest, a cowardly detective and an ambitious prosecutor taking apart a corrupt district, and the funniest action comedy Korea has made. Kim Nam Gil plays rage as slapstick and Lee Ha Nee steals every scene she is handed. It sags around episodes six and seven while the plot sets its pieces, and it never pretends to be about anything deeper than watching bad people lose. For a forty part show the conspiracy is remarkably tidy. Nothing here is rewatched more, and it leaves no hangover.
People commit variety of ugly crimes these days. However, they forgive themselves by giving testimony every week. They believe that they can repent just by having faith. But the truth is that they have faith to repeat the sins again and again without remorse. These people atone for their evil deeds just to feel comfortable and carefree. It is not about the victims who are suffering because of them. They say every people are equal before the religions. But it is time to discriminate people who only uses them for their interest. Screening if they are really good people, punishing if they deserve to be punished, and defending justice is needed for modern day religion. A priest with this sense of justice teams up with a detective and a prosecutor. They try to solve the mysterious death of an elderly priest and serve justice.
Hooks early Episode 2, once the priest, the prosecutor and the detective are stuck in the same room.
