Honey Lee’s Character Evolution in Season 2
In The Fiery Priest 2, Honey Lee’s character, Park Kyung Sun, takes on an even more prominent role. She becomes a powerful ally to Kim Hae Il (played by Kim Nam Gil), the fiery priest himself. Fans can expect to see her support him on his journey to uncover the truth, and the newly released stills show her character in action.

Action Scenes to Look Forward To
One of the exciting new elements Honey Lee teased for The Fiery Priest 2 is her character’s involvement in action scenes. “Kyung Sun didn’t have much to rely on in physical confrontations in the past, but in Season 2, she’ll have some action scenes, which I think will make things more exciting,” she revealed.
