THE FIERY PRIEST
Hello hive friends!
This time I want to review one of the dramas that recently made me laugh out loud. This Korean drama with the title The Fiery Priest has a comedy & crime genre, starring the famous actor Kim Nam Gil. Curious as to what? Come on, take a look at my review.
SYNOPSIS
This drama tells the story of a priest who has a dark past named Kim Hae-il, played by Kim Nam Gil. The figure of a priest who should be gentle is not what he has, Kim Hae-il has explosive emotions. It's just that it actually makes the audience laugh.
Everything seemed fine until one day when one of the church elders was killed because a group of criminals wanted to take control of the church and the foundation owned by the elder. This makes Kim Heil have to deal with his dark past.
AN ANGRY PRIEST
It started with Pastor Kim who lived in a fairly comfortable city, but Pastor Kim really didn't like it when people did bad things so he often caused trouble with local residents. Pastor Kim, who was very temperamental, was not afraid to fight anyone until finally the church moved him to Gudam City and lived with his teacher, Pastor Lee, hoping that Pastor Kim could change and control his anger.
LEADING MORNING MASS
After being persuaded and forced, Pastor Lee finally agreed to stay at the Gudam Church with Pastor Lee and other pastors. On the first day of his arrival, Pastor Lee asked Pastor Kim to lead Mass in the morning.
GUDAM CITY IS FULL OF CORRUPTORS
The Gudam City that Pastor Kim now lives in is a city with many corrupt officials who use any means so they can control whatever they want, even the police are afraid of being involved in their case. How could it not be because their police chief was directly involved and got a share of the corrupt proceeds.
PASTOR LEE'S DEATH
Because the large amount of wealth hidden by corrupt officials means they need a means to launder money, and the Gudam Church Foundation is the target for this means. Because Pastor Lee knew about this, he firmly refused and would not hand over the Foundation into their hands. But unfortunately, Pastor Lee's firm attitude cost him his life. Not only that, he was even accused of committing suicide, taking the congregation's money and harassing one of the female congregation. This made Pastor Kim furious.
PASTOR KIM'S ANGER
With a dark past and a person who is often angry because of injustice, Pastor Kim breaks into the police station because the police and prosecutors closed the case, which made Pastor Lee's name bad. Pastor Kim struggles to collect evidence on his own because no one is there to help him, even the detective who accompanies him is actually a spy so that Pastor Kim's movements are monitored.
After struggling here and there collecting evidence does not necessarily mean that justice and the truth will be revealed, it is even more hidden because the officials to destroy anyone who gets in the way. In desperation Pastor Kim sent a letter to the Pope asking for help to reopen this case. And it worked, the Pope agreed and asked the President to help reopen the case and re-investigate.
PASTOR KIM'S PAST REVEALED
Because Pastor Lee's case made Pastor Kim use his previous connections and habits, where he was one of the best BIN members who was forced to quit because he accidentally killed 11 children in the room during war. He did this on orders from his superiors and forced him to throw a bomb at a room which apparently contained 11 small children in it. Because this also traumatized Pastor Kim and was often haunted by the shadows of these children.
With his abilities as a former BIN member, Pastor Kim also fought for justice by looking for evidence and directly dealing with evil, corrupt officials. Because for him asking for help from the police is nonsense because they are under the power of corrupt officials.
THE REPENTENT DETECTIVE
At first the detective with Pastor Kim was a spy, but as time went by with Pastor Kim he changed his perspective and turned to defending Pastor Kim. Detectives actually help Pastor Kim and fight these corrupt officials.
THE COMING OF CHAOS FROM THE PAST
When Pastor Kim was trying to collect evidence to arrest the perpetrator of Pastor Lee's murder, suddenly someone who had been Pastor Kim's superior when he was still an active member of BIN appeared. Yes, the one who ordered Pastor Kim to throw a grenade into a room filled with children in the past. Now Pastor Kim has to face his evil former boss again.
The problem becomes very serious because not only is he fighting against corrupt officials, but now Pastor Kim has to face his former boss who continues to bother him and even disturbs the people closest to him.
PASTOR KIM'S REVENGE
Because greed for money makes officials and their allies bring down each other, on the other hand, Pastor Kim remains determined to clear Pastor Lee's good name, making him increasingly involved in the game of these corrupt officials. This puts him and those closest to him in danger. One of them happened to Pastor Han, one of the priests who was very close to Pastor Kim like a younger brother, he was beaten so badly that he had to undergo surgery and was in a coma in the hospital. This happened right in front of Pastor Kim. This made Pastor Kim angry with God, crying and screaming at the church altar.
Realizing that a priest should not do such heinous things, Pastor Kim decided to stop being a priest and try to take revenge for what happened to him. In this scene, Kim Nam Gil's acting is truly extraordinary and he looks messy.
After deciding to stop being a priest, Kim Haeil cut off all access and relationships with those closest to him because he was afraid that something bad would happen again. He made a plan to kill his former boss. All the police and those closest to him tried to look for Kim Haeil anywhere until finally they met with Kim Haeil pointing a gun at his former boss's head. Due to persuasion from those closest to him, Kim Haeil decided to forgive him and not kill him and let the police handle it.
PASTOR LEE'S NAME IS CLEAN
After all the incidents that Kim Haeil had fought for, Pastor Lee's name was finally cleared and the police arrested all the corrupt officials involved using all the evidence Kim Haeil had collected. And Kim Haeil returned to being a priest and chose to study abroad again.
