Park Shin Hye took on the role of Kang Bit Na, a judge who came literally from hell to punish evildoers. The actress earned immense acclaim for her dynamic performance and is credited with driving the show to success.
Kim Nam Gil has been nominated for the Grand Prize for his role in The Fiery Priest Season 2. Returning after five years with the sequel to The Fiery Priest, Kim Nam Gil once again charmed fans with his portrayal of Kim Hae Il, the iconic hot-tempered priest with anger management issues.
