by solstices
Indulging in its slapstick comedy until the very finish, this fiery sequel ends simply as a superhero story would. The villains get their comeuppance, issues are wrapped up in a neat bow, and our squad bands along with strengthened bonds and renewed religion.
EPISODE 12
On the Nationwide Meeting, a particular investigative committee convenes for a listening to relating to the allegations towards Du-heon — who pushes up his glasses with a center finger directed to Hae-il and co. LOL. The satire on this scene is downright hilarious, with the petty assemblymen nitpicking each other and Du-heon faking a medical prognosis to weasel his method out of taking the witness’ oath.
Then Kyung-seon performs a video exposing how Du-heon removed the earlier chief prosecutor, ending off with Music Financial institution: Church Version. No, I’m not kidding — our Gudam squad filmed a complete choreography routine within the church corridor, singing their hearts out with Polka Dot Ghost becoming a member of in for a rap verse. I’m torn between cringing and cry-laughing, assist.
After our trio will get put in a 10-minute timeout for his or her indignant outbursts, they return to seek out the witness testimonials flowing within the precise other way they anticipated. Du-heon already has each the crippled mafia boss and the corrupt customs officer below his thumb, pressuring them into perjury with the specter of harming their households. Kyung-seon laments the bitter actuality: “The lies of the highly effective develop into the reality, whereas the reality of the weak turns into lies.”
Nonetheless, all shouldn’t be misplaced. The subsequent day, Kyung-seon boldly reveals voice recordings of Du-heon’s soiled offers with Assemblyman Kim, alongside a protracted checklist of all of the politicians he’s colluded with. Because it seems, demolishing the wall the place the ghost’s corpse was hidden revealed a blinking mild within the adjoining residence, permitting our Busan group to find the Du-honey pot exhausting drives of proof.
Totally uncovered, the unrepentant Du-heon tries to bluff his method out, just for a gunshot to interrupt the proceedings. Having snuck in alongside the assemblyman he accosted, Hong-shik reveals up fashionably late to settle the rating. Leveling his gun at Du-heon — who ineffectually tries addressing a livestream digicam that isn’t even turned on, ha — Hong-shik pulls the set off.
Besides the gun doesn’t hearth, irrespective of how a lot Hong-shik yanks on it with growing desperation. Solely the primary bullet was a dwell one, because the weapon peddler seems to be a scammer. HA. When Hong-shik whips out his dagger, Hae-il blocks him by means of a fistfight that’s broadcast to the entire nation.
Making fast work of Hong-shik’s two remaining minions, Hae-il then interrupts Du-heon’s yapping with a smack that silences even the soundtrack. Our priest turns his consideration again to his nemesis, lastly knocking out Hong-shik with a strong punch to his photo voltaic plexus and a roundhouse kick to the face.
Subdued ultimately, each Du-heon and Hong-shik are taken into custody, although I’m truthfully stunned the latter didn’t put up extra of a struggle. In any case, all’s nicely that ends nicely. Our heroes pose for the cameras exterior, rejoicing over a job nicely accomplished.
Within the aftermath, the ensuing media flurry attracts nationwide consideration to the seminary, growing candidates fivefold simply as Hae-il promised. Speaking about Hae-il, he turns over Hong-shik’s confiscated funds to the nationwide treasury, regardless of Kyung-seon, Dae-young, and Dok-sung’s protests to skim off a tiny fee, LOL. And aww, Hae-il left his mini-me Do-woo with a parting present — a photograph of them each, grinning broad as ever. Hee, they’re so cute.
Information of our Bellator’s feats journey throughout the ocean, and a Vatican priest visits the Gudam church to current Hae-il with a token of gratitude on behalf of the pope. It’s an beautiful gold cross, intricately carved and inlaid with a gem, that has our complete squad gasping in a starstruck amazement. Afterwards, our squad takes a commemorative photograph collectively, squeezing our central trio collectively on a tiny sofa. Then they Photoshop the Busan-dwelling Ja-young and Dok-sung in, LOL.
In response to her boss’s nagging, Kyung-seon arms in her resignation letter, whereas Dae-young will get abruptly fired attributable to stress from the higher-ups. Simply as they’re groaning about their unemployment to Hae-il, a lightbulb goes off within the boys’ heads: the righteous Kyung-seon may enter the Nationwide Meeting!
Kyung-seon vows that she’s by no means ever doing it — after which we minimize to her campaigning as an impartial candidate, ha. Everybody nervously counts down the seconds to the election outcomes, besides Yo-han by chance spills his drink on {the electrical} socket, inflicting an influence outage on the worst doable second. Schrödinger’s Kyung-seon?
With the chaos all calmed ultimately, we wrap up with an introspective monologue by Hae-il.
Now that I give it some thought, what made the not possible doable was not a miracle. When injustice turns into the legislation, justice turns into an obligation. Miracles come up from unusual individuals talking up towards injustice, and fulfilling their obligation with all their coronary heart. I consider all our time collectively as a miracle. We took duty by means of our actions, and although we fell, we by no means slipped into despair. In the long run, surprising miracles got here to those that treasured each second of life as a blessing, believing that justice existed inside. Our religion and braveness nonetheless stay by our sides day by day, forming our fiery spirits’ life mission alongside the hope and can to alter the world. Right this moment, too, I pray that morality and justice will shine like stars. Lord, I thanks for all the time bestowing upon us the energy to struggle.
What a heartfelt message, and a well timed one at that. With corruption rife in politics and complacency rampant amongst these complicit by means of their silence, it turns into all of the extra essential for the widespread individuals to stand up with a unified voice. To fulfil our hope for a greater future, we should first take that brave step ahead to make change doable. In any case, we’ve the facility to create our personal miracles.
Quick ahead to a snowy day, the place a bunch of incorrigible males try to forcefully movie a terrified lady. Simply then, somebody jumps down from the overpass to land on the automobile’s hood like a knight in shining armor priestly robes — it’s none aside from Hae-il, who takes out the encircling thugs with out breaking a sweat. Declaring that he’s about to ship the sexual predators straight to hell, Hae-il winds as much as ship his signature punch to the automobile’s windshield, closing the season on a fiery word.
Our last epilogue rewinds to the Vatican priest, who informs Hae-il that the Pope is asking for him. Hae-il’s assist is required in lots of locations, however first, the Pope is inviting him to the Vatican Metropolis. Trying up on the Gudam church’s cross with a smile, Hae-il traces the signal of the cross upon himself, although we don’t hear his reply simply but.
With Hae-il and Kyung-seon’s future steps up within the air, the doorways are open for a possible third season — which I’m not fully averse to, so long as the following script is tighter and the comedy balanced higher. It’s apparent the actors had a blast filming, and the drama did make me crack up pretty usually, even when it did depart me scratching my head or shriveling up in secondhand embarrassment at occasions. The execution left rather a lot to be desired, which I discover a disgrace due to the occasional memorable line and incisive social commentary that peeked by means of sometimes. I don’t assume The Fiery Priest 2 fairly managed to dwell as much as its potential, however for a lighthearted sequel to a well-loved franchise, at the very least it delivered a lot of laughter alongside the way in which.
