    UNDERRATED - BEST ACTION COMEDY SERIES!

    SURELY ONE OF THE BEST AND DEFINITELY THE BEST ACTION-COMEDY SERIES. I have watched hundreds of TV series and this is absolutely PERFECT and MOST SATISFYING TO WATCH. You'll never be bored in this Kdrama as there is always to look after every episode. No problem for non-Catholics because it does not focus on religion - the plot and lessons are applicable for everyone no matter where you preference may be. Must watch especially during this time of pandemic - will definitely entertain and cheer you up! Kudos to all the artists and crew! FANTASTIC JOB!!!! Hoping for a Season 2!

    Crazy funny!!!

    I had so much fun watching this series and I can't wait for season 2. the story was meticulously written and the last episodes were incredible. The main character pretty much transformed and I got the same vibe I got from watching The Man From Nowhere. Easily one of the funniest Korean series out there.

    Entertaining

    Entertaining and light to watch. But I dont like park kyung sun character. The way she chew her food or her attitude was rather sore to eyes.

    A fresh start to 2019....

    I don't write reviews for series very often, and definitely not for ones I haven't even finished, but this drama is such an exception for me that I feel like I have to tell everyone I know how much I love it. The action scenes are lit. Everything about this drama is pretty good, be it the story, the characters, the comedy, the direction. A basic rundown: if you're looking for comedy, watch this show. If you're looking for heartfelt characters, watch this show. If you're looking for a gritty cop show with in-depth cases, don't watch this show, watch an OCN drama. I'd tell everyone of you to give it a go...

      The church featured in the series is Yakhyeon Cathedral, the first Western-style church in Korea. The drama also filmed at two other Daegu temples, the Gyesan Cathedral inside the Daegu Catholic University, and Wolbae Catholic Church. There's also a popup experience called "The Fiery Priest Street: Gudam City Alley Popup" that recreates scenes and settings from the show.
