The Fiery Priest (2019)

Why do you ask for forgiveness only when you come to church? You should ask those you have done wrong for forgiveness first. Don’t say it half-heartedly. Make sure your apologies come from deep down within your hearts. Once they forgive you, then you ask God for forgiveness. – Father Kim Hae-il

The Fiery Priest will tell the story of a priest with anger issues and a detective who join forces to solve the murder case of an old priest. The drama will handle issues such as the exploitation of social welfare facilities and the sexual harassment that happens within religious cults. The drama will focus on comedy and humanism to make viewers feel catharsis, experience fun, and be moved. (Source: Soompi)
