Production

The first script reading took place on October 26, 2018 at SBS Ilsan Production Center in Tanhyun, South Korea.[5]

The Fiery Priest was first scheduled to air as a Monday-Tuesday drama following My Strange Hero, but due to SBS deciding to cancel the weekend special drama time slot (Saturday nights at 21:05 KST) after Fates & Furies, it became the network's first Friday-Saturday night drama. Haechi was then chosen to follow My Strange Hero.[6]

This series marks Myoungwoo Lee's last project for SBS, after 12 years of partnership. In October 2019, he moved to Taewon Entertainment.[7]

Notes

In order to circumvent Korean laws that prevent commercial breaks in the middle of an episode, what would previously have been aired as single 70 minute episodes are now being repackaged as two 35 minute episodes, with two episodes being shown each night with a commercial break between the two.[1]
Due to some ratings not recorded, the exact average rating is unknown.
