Oct 30, 2024

“The Fiery Priest” Season 2 has offered a sneak peek of Seo Hyun Woo’s character!

SBS’s “The Fiery Priest,” which first aired in 2019 and recorded a peak viewership rating of 22.0 percent, is about a Catholic priest with anger management issues and a cowardly detective who work together to solve a murder case. Kim Nam Gil, Lee Ha Nee, Kim Sung Kyun, and more from Season 1 will be reprising their roles in the upcoming season. In Season 2, they travel to Busan to confront the country’s top drug cartel in an unflinching joint investigation.

Recently released still images feature Seo Hyun Woo as Nam Du Heon, head prosecutor of the drug team at the Busan Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.

The released stills show Nam Du Heon, who doesn’t hesitate to overlook the wrongdoing of high-ranking figures, attempting a secret meeting with someone. He displays a subtle nosiness as he closely watches the people lined up in front of the restaurant, occasionally blurting out remarks. Meanwhile, he remains wary of his surroundings and moves carefully, creating an air of secrecy.

Nam Du Heon seems more interested in information than the money bag in front of him, focusing intently on a conversation with someone nearby while showing a sharp demeanor. His willingness to sacrifice justice for ambition raises questions about his role as a “cleaner” of powerful figures’ wrongdoings.

Seo Hyun Woo shared his excitement about the role, stating, “I approached filming with a sense of tension and anticipation, continuing the fun and emotional elements from Season 1. It’s an honor to be able to torment the Gudam team.”

He further described Nam Du Heon, saying, “Nam Du Heon is a bold and cheerful character, but he is also a poignant figure who pursues his own goals alone. Although he is an antagonist, he is a complex character who isn’t entirely dislikeable.” This raises expectations for his nuanced performance.

Finally, Seo Hyun Woo expressed his enthusiasm, saying, “I am thrilled that we can once again delight the eyes and ears of viewers who have been eagerly awaiting ‘The Fiery Priest.’ I hope everyone looks forward to the new characters joining in Season 2, including myself.”

The production team added, “Seo Hyun Woo is an actor who brings emotion to the set with his ability to fully embody his character. We hope you look forward to his outstanding performance, which will add dramatic tension as a key element of conflict in Season 2.”
