    Omomo. Aparrently Honey Lee also fractured her finger too :o. KMG said Honey Lee was like his mum, she scolded him a lot. Its good to see how deep the whole cast bond is, a 2nd season will not happen even if one actor is unable to join.

    Kim Nam Gil Discusses The Burning Sun Controversy Reference In “The Fiery Priest”

    Kim Nam Gil Discusses The Burning Sun Controversy Reference In “The Fiery Priest”

    Apr 30, 2019
    by S. Park

    Kim Nam Gil shared his thoughts on referencing the Burning Sun issue in “The Fiery Priest.”

    On April 29, the actor participated in an interview after the conclusion of his latest drama. “The Fiery Priest,” which centered around the topic of justice, was loved by viewers and ended with high viewership ratings of 22 percent.

    The characters in the drama took on a case called the Rising Moon, a nod to the currently ongoing Burning Sun controversy. In his interview, Kim Nam Gil said, “I think the Burning Sun controversy became a bigger problem because societal issues and celebrities were connected. I did think that it might be a bit uncomfortable to deal with a case that has not yet been resolved.”

    He continued, “Writer [Park Jae Bum] had thought about similar cases before the Burning Sun controversy came up. He did incorporate elements from the Burning Sun issue, but I think it was the incorporation of unjust things that are likely to happen in reality that fit well with the state of our current society.”

    “At first, I worried a lot about what direction I should go with, but the writer wanted to be straightforward,” said Kim Nam Gil. “Contrary to my concerns, I was relieved that the viewers felt liberated by that part.”

    Mentioning the scene where he had a conversation with Kim Sung Kyun while wearing a dog mask, Kim Nam Gil explained, “In the car, Kim Sung Kyun asked, ‘Why are you being so nice to Park Kyung Sun (Honey Lee)?’ and Kim Hae Il (Kim Nam Gil) said, ‘Saints have a past and sinners have a future.’ I thought that this was the ultimate message of the drama. There were many lines and scenes, but this was my favorite.”

    He continued, “The part where Ssong Sak (played by Ahn Chang Hwan) awakens was also so good that I got chills. A strength of this drama is that every small role is used well and doesn’t go to waste. I really liked that every character’s story and emotions were portrayed.”

    Kim Nam Gil sustained multiple injuries while filming “The Fiery Priest” including fractured wrists and a fractured rib, but returned to the set to fulfill his role. “A person who’s good at it doesn’t get hurt, and I got hurt because my drive got ahead of me,” said the actor. “In the past, if I was I was admitted to the hospital, I would’ve wanted to rest since I was hurt, but I got mad at myself this time. That happened around episode nine or 10, and I felt like I was going to cause harm to a drama that was smooth sailing. The broadcasting company (SBS) was so considerate and first thought of canceling episodes, but at a time when there were so many factors that could raise viewership ratings, I didn’t want to be the reason for the drama to miss that timing. That would have negatively affected the drama as well as actors who just started gaining attention.”

    He shared with a laugh, “I said that I would come out and film, but that was also causing a nuisance. Honey Lee scolded me a lot. I thought she was my mom because she scolded me so much. Because I was scolded so much, I wondered if I should’ve returned after my body was completely healed. Actually, Honey Lee also had a finger fracture, but she  filmed while repeatedly removing and putting on the cast.”

    Because it’s difficult for major network dramas to achieve 10 percent in viewership ratings these days, the 20-percent range achieved by “The Fiery Priest” holds even more meaning. As the beloved drama came to an end, many viewers requested for a second season.

    “Assuming this is season one, we don’t know if season two will get the same reaction as now, and it would be a concern as to how to satisfy the high expectations,” stated Kim Nam Gil. “We’ve agreed between the actors that we would not do season two if even one actor leaves.”

    The actor doesn’t have a follow-up project as of yet and wants to focus on treatment for both of his wrists for now. “My bones healed quickly in my 20s, but I get scared now that I’m aging. I want to take care of my health first and then try whatever is good without limiting myself to a type of media whether that’s a drama or a film. I don’t really want to rest, but I think treatment should come first.”

    Kim Nam Gil Shares His Hopes For “The Fiery Priest” Season 2 + Why He Turned Down “The Pirates” Sequel

    Kim Nam Gil Shares His Hopes For “The Fiery Priest” Season 2 + Why He Turned Down “The Pirates” Sequel

    Apr 29, 2019
    by C. Hong

    On April 29, Kim Nam Gil sat down for an interview to talk about his recently ended drama, “The Fiery Priest.”

    The production staff of “The Fiery Priest” released a statementnot long after the drama’s finale that they were currently in talks for a second season.

    Kim Nam Gil said, “The crew were talking about Season 2 from about Episode 17 or 18. It wasn’t a drama that we made with seasons in mind. When we went on our reward vacation, the actors talked about it among ourselves and the response was positive. We said that we wanted to move forward without any of us leaving and without adding someone else to the cast.”

    He continued, “It’s true that I have a lot of concerns about what I can show and what we can bring to a second season. We didn’t really have a lot of expectations for the ratings in ‘The Fiery Priest,’ but it did well. I think Season 2 will be about properly telling the stories that we want to tell. We mentioned that we didn’t want to wait too long. But that’s not something that we can control…”

    Kim Nam Gil also recently turned down the offer to star in the sequel to the movie “The Pirates.” He said, “I thought about it for a very long time,” he said. “I thought I was really lucky to be offered a lead role in the second part of the series. But lately I have been overworking my body. They said that filming would begin in June, and I didn’t have confidence in my ability to rest properly before then.”

    He added, “When I was injured, it affected a lot of people around me. The other actors couldn’t be easy around me, and the production crew were also hyper-aware of the situation. I think that it would have been adding unnecessary pressure on the cast and crew, so although my relationship with ‘The Pirates’ remains good, I decided I couldn’t do the sequel. An action movie has to be done right, after all.”

    Kim Nam Gil injured his wrists and ribs while filming action scenes for “The Fiery Priest.”

    With the same reason that you and many others give your opinion about CHEMISTRY  of actors and actresses in many projects before airing, and I think in this case there are enough clips to see them beside each other to find! B)

     

     

    Omo. I don't know about others but have you seen me giving any opinion about chemistry? I don't talk much about chemistry since I find it a subjective matter. I do find characters that are visually pleasing and atttactive together makes me more attracted to watch them on screen. But it is character dependent, some actors actresses seem compatible in behind the scene clips but when it comes to the actual drama, their parts just falls flat. Huhu

     

    Anyways, I'm still happy there will be no fighting for the same lady. Hopefully it maintains like that. Nokdu Flower will air in Fiery Priest's time slot which ended with 22% ratings. If things go well, maybe Nokdu Flowers can secure as much viewers or even more. There's not much competition in the Friday/Saturday timeslot.

     

    I'm not a big saeguk fan to feel an urge to really watch Nokdu Flowers. I might try to watch 1 ep to see how the story goes. I struggled with Grand Prince, YSY's character was not enough to make me excited to watch it. I did like Mirror of the Witch, that's a good fantasy saeguk imo.

     

    Fighting YSY!!

    Its GOOD that there is no love connection between YOON SHIYOON and YE RI in MBF. Really there is no LOVE CHEMISTRY between them but I like their FRIENDLY  relationship.

     

     

    I just wonder how do you know there's no chemistry when the drama has yet to air and there is no interaction between them yet :sweatingbullets:.

     

    Looking at the character chart, I'm glad there's no love triangle/square between JJS, YSY and HYR's characters. I'm glad there will be no fighting between bros for the lady. It has been done too much and it will be somewhat similar to Grand Prince.

     I’m happy for SSR by the way . Finally after all these years  . I will check out his drama when it airs . Love the female lead Go Won Hee. 

    ——

     

    I'm so happy for SSR too! After about 17 years, he finally got a main lead role! Super stoked eventhough I have a love-hate relationship with romcoms. I hope I'll like this one. I dropped all hyped up romcoms eg WWWSK, TYH, HPL. Huaaa..

    Kyaaa, I need Hwang, I mean Go Jun, in a rom-com where he just smiles and smiles and smiles...!! :wub:

     

    Lol! I think by now its customary for us to want villains in a kdrama to return with a romcom! Villains are usually all smiles behind the camera and turn sour grapes when the camera starts rolling, its fascinating haha

     

    To more projects Hwang!!! And also Bobby!!!! Maybe a 2nd lead role first and than slowly move to first lead territory~ :)

    @katakwasabi I went & check out Bobby’s ig , lol found this .:lol:

     

    Talking about Lee Bo Young , her cameo was the most epic :D . Both times as a cardboard cutout, and both times a victim of Father Kim’s fists !  Anyway this PD did Whisper as well , so I’m not surprised he recruited his previous cast from there . 

     

     

    Lol! I posted this earlier and said they have pretttyyy eyes. But @ktcjdramasays its all thanks to photoapps. Hahahaha

     

    Ahhhh...now I know why Lee Bo Young cardboard cutout made an appearance lol!
