Nam-soon, una chica superfuerte (Serie de TV)

This show is a mixture of funny and brilliant... and parts that could be left out without affecting the main plot.

The main actress really pulls off the part. She is cute, lovable, and the more I watched the show the more I liked her in the part.

The villain was brilliantly portrayed. He was evil, heartless, cruel, but the actor made the audience somewhat sympathize with his situation and what made him that way. That is not easy to do... and is a high point all the way through the series. The heroine and the villain work really well together to make the show. If not for those actors and the way they were directed and their characters portrayed, I'm not sure the show would have been near as enjoyable.

Other parts are somewhat repetitive and even unnecessary. They spend about three episodes in a dull warehouse that does little to advance the plot. The side-plots (and there are several of them) are not all that entertaining or impressive. The super-weak uncle was silly and became obnoxious after several whining sessions. The glutinous brother really brought nothing to the show. (Yes, I know he was for comedic effect, but the role just wasn't funny.) And while she's one of my favorite actresses, the December romance never came off as convincing or necessary to the plot. It was just kind of thrown in there, and the male barista part was unconvincing.

Basically this is a two-pony show. One actor is funny and cute, the other charismatic and dangerous. They work very well off each other. The show holds up all the way through, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I do think it would have worked better as a 6-episode mini-series by leaving out the plodding and unnecessary side-plots. Still, a series worth watching.

A bit too long, but entertaining for what it is. Lee Yoo Mi does a good job as a fish out of water in the beginning of the series, but when the series transform into more and more of a Korean character and less and less of a Mongolian character I feel like she loses some of her charm. There's no reason she has to cut her hair. A tragic loss. The rest of the cast which plays her family does a remarkable job, with the best possible combination of gravitas and over the top ridiculousness. One character who is always played deadly seriously is that o Ryu Shi-oh who is played brilliantly by Byeon Woo-seok. The villain story is really well written even if his demise is laughably bloodless. Not the best k-drama it's quite good.

It started out strong and I'm hoping it will get better as it continues. For me, there is too much focus on the mom. I feel like Namsoon is almost a side character by episode 6. I like the main actress, she is endearing as Nam Soon and I feel like there can be a good storyline with her and the cop, but they just get pushed aside for the mom. I'll watch it til the end but I hope the writing improves. If you are a fan of the original series, you may be disappointed. I feel like the original had a lot more humor and focus on Park Boyoung. There is a cameo that is fast but so enjoyable. I think this show is worth watching but I could change my mind by the end.

I enjoyed the orig. Strong Woman Do Bong-soon with Park Kyung-sik as the hapless ML to Park Bo-young's supernaturally strong heroine.

In the sequel series, I liked the FL and her raised in Mongolia innocence and the ML cop was okay but there were too many generations of strong women for me. Too many competing plot lines and heroines taking action to care enough about any in particular. More is not better here. And a heroine with no kryptonite weakness but the "do good or lose your powers" is meh unless it's used cleverly against her in a way different from the earlier series. But no.

The villain strikes poses, han d in pocket casual, than a sullen Gucci model. Byron was a model first and has not overcome his affectless demeanor here. I think he's better in later work. Here, he's a visually-striking nothing burger.

I've watched half and that's enough. DNF.

Reading some of the reviews you would think this was a really terrible series, which it is not. I think too many people are comparing it to "Strong Girl Bong-soon" which I will agree was a superior series as I awarded that 9 stars as opposed to 7 for this. This series concentrates on the females of a family line who all have immense strength and will lose it if they abuse the power they have been given. The grandmother is starting a new relationship after her husband has gone missing. The mother is incredibly rich and uses her immense wealth to bring justice to the world. The daughter who was lost in Mongolia as a child is reunited with her family and through circumstances becomes involved with a police officer and then helps him combat a Russian gangster organisation using a new drug in Korea. There is also a murderous villain who somehow as the series goes on has you feeling sympathy for him. An easy watch and some enjoyable lighthearted moments.
