The highly anticipated second season of the hit drama “The Fiery Priest” is just around the corner, and to build excitement, SBS has released a behind-the-scenes video from the main poster photo shoot! In the clip, the main cast – including Kim Nam Gil, Honey Lee, and Sung Joon – shows off their unique and playful chemistry, hinting at an action-packed, humorous, and heartwarming season ahead.
Originally premiering in 2019, “The Fiery Priest” captivated audiences with its gripping storyline, even reaching viewership ratings as high as 22.0%. The series follows the unlikely partnership between the fiery priest Kim Hae Il (played by Kim Nam Gil) and the reluctant detective Park Kyung Sun (played by Honey Lee), who join forces to solve a murder case. For this new season, Kim Nam Gil and Honey Lee are back to reprise the roles that fans loved, and their camaraderie is evident as they interact on set with perfect comedic timing.
In the video, Kim Nam Gil describes his character, Kim Hae Il, as someone who “can’t stand injustice and has a short temper” – a hint that fans can expect even more conflicts and intense scenes. Honey Lee, meanwhile, reveals a fascinating evolution for her character, Park Kyung Sun, noting that “although she had morally ambiguous tendencies in season one, she’ll now be supporting Hae Il, revealing a more ethical and determined side.” Their chemistry shines through, especially in one lighthearted moment when Honey Lee playfully waves a panel to simulate wind through Kim Nam Gil’s priestly robe, eliciting laughs from the entire crew.
The clip also includes interviews with Sung Joon and Seo Hyun Woo, who will bring fresh challenges to the storyline as the new villains. Sung Joon takes on the role of Kim Hong Sik, the second-in-command of a powerful drug syndicate, while Seo Hyun Woo plays the hot-tempered prosecutor Nam Du Heon. The two share a fun dynamic on set as Seo Hyun Woo, straightening his tie to capture his character’s strict demeanor, becomes the subject of Sung Joon’s teasing. Sung Joon jokingly remarks, “Why are you so good at this?” causing laughter among the cast and crew.
Another standout addition to the cast is singer and actress BIBI, who joins as detective Goo Ja Young. Known for her natural charisma, BIBI greets the audience with a warm smile before switching to a determined expression, holding a gun with confidence and showcasing the fierce passion of her new character.
With such a talented cast and behind-the-scenes moments that highlight the positive camaraderie among the actors, the new season of “The Fiery Priest” is set to deliver even more action, humor, and heartfelt moments. Fans can look forward to a continuation that deepens character relationships and explores new stories with intriguing villains.
