Yeolhyeolsaje (2019)
Thoughtful but tremendous fun
I haven't finished the series as yet but have found it so delightful thus far that I just had to say something. I had seen this show recommended many times but steered away from the whole "priest with a mission" theme. However, the religious context is well handled while keeping the show a thoroughly exciting mix of comedy and blistering action with just the right note of poignancy for the more serious aspects of the show. Truly worth every second of the watch. The characters are charming(even the main villain somewhat ) for the most part with the male lead being particularly lovable in a world-weary but endearing sort of way. All the elements work without being cliched and the "non-priestly"behavior of the priest is hilarious and refreshing without being disrespectful.
