Zhao Lu Si's agency addresses fans' concerns about her health
On December 27, the cast of The Fiery Priest Season 2, including Kim Nam Gil, Lee Ha Nee, Kim Sung Kyun, Sung Joon, Seo Hyun Woo, and BIBI shared heartfelt messages of gratitude to the audience who watch the K-drama.
Kim Nam Gil, who plays the fiery priest Kim Hae Il, shared, "Please watch until the end to see how the Gudam team takes down evil and restores peace, as well as how they try to protect their ordinary life. Please continue to show your interest until the very end."
He also remarked, "Every scene where the Gudam team gathers in Busan was a great scene." "It was meaningful because it marked the reunion of these characters after five years, and it was an important moment as they took their first steps toward defeating a new [kind of] evil. In particular, the process of the characters gathering in Busan, one by one, centered around Kim Hae Il [and his mission], seems to have effectively showcased their unique personalities and traits, making it even more memorable."
Kim Nam Gil highlighted the "fight in the National Assembly" as the key point to watch in the final episode. He remarked, "I believe we can deliver refreshing entertainment to many people through this delightful and satisfying story," adding, "Even though it's been a long time [since Season 1], the actors and production team worked hard to make up for the wait. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who has loved The Fiery Priest Season 2 so far. I hope you'll remember that, like our Gudam team, there are many people out there living to uphold justice and protect peace and value of common folks' lives."
Lee Ha Nee, who played the fiery prosecutor, Park Gyeong Sun, said, "It's already the final episode, it feels different. I want to express my gratitude to the fellow cast members and staff who worked hard alongside me."
Lee Ha Nee selected the scene where Father Kim Hae Il, Team Leader Goo Dae Young, and Prosecutor Park Gyeong Sun join forces to appear at the final hearing as the most memorable scene. She highlighted the much-anticipated "Honey Jar Hearing" scene from Episode 12's preview, saying, "Please look forward to seeing whether the three of them will do a good job of punishing evil and promoting good."
Reflecting on the show's impact, she said, "By fulfilling their respective roles in their own positions and working toward social justice, the Gudam team's journey resonated with the viewers. And thanks to that empathy and support, it feels as though the viewers and we together created the drama The Fiery Priest Season 2 together. Once again, I would like to express my gratitude to all the viewers who loved The Fiery Priest Season 2.”
Kim Sung Kyun, who played Goo Dae Young, Kim Hae Il's partner-in-justice, shared, "Thank you, everyone, for the love you've shown for Season 2. The time [when we started all this] from Season 1 until now feels like one journey, and it leaves me with a strange feeling," he said.
Kim Sung Kyun selected the action scenes at Jirim Land, where the Gudam team fights while in disguise, as his favorite. "The final episode portrays in an interesting way how the Gudam family finds peace," he teased. He concluded with a heartfelt note: "Thank you for all your support, and I hope we can meet again through The Fiery Priest series."
Sung Joon, who played the ruthless villain Kim Hong Sik, shared his thoughts: "It's hard to believe we're already approaching the final episode. I feel a bit sad, as it feels like it ended too quickly. I want to thank everyone who loved The Fiery Priest Season 2, and I hope it became a work that evoked heartfelt emotions and hearty laughter. Please continue to show your love and anticipation until the very end."
He chose the duel scene between Kim Hong Sik and Kim Hae Il, where they fight in the rain as his most memorable moment. "I really liked the tension conveyed in that scene —the exchange of glances, the dialogue, and the overall atmosphere as the two characters discovered each other's identities. It was a scene where everyone put in a lot of effort during filming, so I'm proud of how well it turned out," he explained.
Sung Joon also teased: "The process of wrapping up each incident in the final episode will be incredibly engaging. Please don't miss [it] and stay tuned until the very end of The Fiery Priest Season 2!"
Seo Hyun Woo, who played Nam Doo Heon, a character who climbed the career ladder by exploiting the secret ledger "Honey Jar" that documents the corruption and misdeeds of South Korea's political, prosecutorial, and elite figures, shared his thoughts as the series nears its end: "Wrapping up the year with the final episode airing amidst so much interest [for the drama] feels even more special."
Seo Hyun Woo selected the farm scene, where Kim Hong Sik and Nam Doo Heon first meet, as his most memorable moment. "I think it was an important scene that showed how the villains of Season 2 come together," he explained.
He added, "Please watch how the villains face off against the Gudam team until the very end, and enjoy Nam Doo Heon's unchanging, headstrong, and stubborn personality." Seo Hyun Woo also shared a warm New Year's message: "To everyone who watched and loved The Fiery Priest Season 2, I wish you good health always and a Happy New Year. I'll return in the coming year with another great project. Thank you."
BIBI, who joined The Fiery Priest Season 2 as Detective Goo Ja Yeong, shared, "I don't want it to endㅠㅠ [crying face]. This is the first time I've enjoyed watching something I acted in so much! The time we spent together was so precious, and I don't think I'll ever forget it."
When asked to share her most memorable scene, she playfully answered, "The shaman ritual scene?! It was so unique and fun. It was hard to hold back my laughter during filming, but if it has been remembered as a great scene by the viewers, I couldn't be happier."
BIBI also expressed: "If I get another chance, I'd love to meet you all again [through The Fiery Priest series]. I'm so happy to have connected with viewers through such a great project. Thank you so much for all the love you've given."
The production team expressed their gratitude, saying, "We would like to once again express our endless gratitude to the viewers who made The Fiery Priest Season 2 possible." "Please stay tuned for the final episode airing today (December 27) to see whether the trademark catharsis of The Fiery Priest Season 2 will explode with a bang."
