Strong Girl Nam-soon

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.

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.

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.

It's kind of...something. In the light category, action comedy series, a bit fantastic, with the inevitable love story. It wants to be a sequel to Strong Womans Do Bong Soon, and it even has a small cameo in ep.3 but...it's far from the first series. Lee Yoo-Mi is cute, especially when she plays with a Mongolian accent, and the image quality is much better than in the first series. This can also be from the alternative source, because the geniuses at Netflix removed the original from the European grid.

However, as a scenario, comic moments, even special effects, it is much more diluted than the original.

Until now, the "geniuses" at Netflix have only released the first 5 episodes, but if the screenwriter continues with the inspiration hangover, it will not compare to the one in 2017.

Well, it started strong until it dragged on and on to one single issue all throughout the entire 16 episodes. Imagine taking this long to address that drug problem , I guess the reason shy the audience grew tired of the series. I just hope the antagonist here though had a better ending especially with the kind of the storyline this series built for him - it's korean style (like how they create drama for u to grow to love the characters) but only wasn't given justice. It is a very sad ending for him. There are also a couple of characters here in the series that you can take away and there will be no great of an impact if you remove them - like the two homeless couple in the beginning. They could have just been there consistently with the main character so as to add life to the main character cos seriously, the main protaganist's life is kind of boring.. like we haven't seen much of her in the series aside from her spy and police assistant role. If this would have another season, I hope there would be a more complex plot.
