Strong Girl Nam-soon

Let's get the obvious thing out of the way. The superpower is exactly the same as in the earlier series. Women in a given family are genetically wired to be immeasurably strong unless they do something bad. Only here it's dialed up a few notches.

They even have Bong-Soon's cameo in one episode, which I thought was a nice touch. They're shamelessly capitalizing on the earlier success and I'm all for it.

You can expect similar slapstick humor, "comical" fights, charming characters, and so on. It's refreshing to see that the mother here isn't a constantly yelling banshee like in the 2017 series (her annoying, judgmental screaming still rings in my ears 6 years later), and overall they have less of those unbearably stupid "comic relief" characters like the ever-complaining neighborhood ladies and the inept thugs who bump into one another in absurd ways and shriek.

I am at Episode 4 (latest released as of today) and I find the series enjoyable in an escapist, mindless sort of way.

I hope they continue in this style and the series doesn't switch genres midway as the Korean shows do sometimes.

The protagonist has the potential to become annoying with her cutesy/childish antics, but for now it's all good fun.

Can't wait for the next episode! Well done, team (so far)!

Update - as the show goes on, the humor becomes repetitive. A small childish young woman beats up huge angry men in "comical ways" or shocks them with her superpowers into a "comical" open-mouthed stupor. Still, this version is much easier to watch than the over-the-top, unbearable 2017 version.

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.

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.

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.

Different approach with the original Bong Soon, pretty good for a light watch, funny but a bit boring at the same time. This drama belong to fantasy comedy and a bit exaggerated i guess? If you are not a fan of unrealistic/silly drama you better skip this one.

I dont get why people are saying the female lead is a bad actress who cant act (Lee Yoo Mi) i think she really suit the character and deliver it really well, innocent Mongolian nomad girl with an accent, kinda childish, cute, innocent, and bubbly. The villain actor also doing a really great job with his acting skill and expression, you can really feel he is a total psycho.

Whats surprising is only a few people mentioning how bad the lead protagonist actor Ong Seong Woo is, from the very first episode i cant help but notice that his dialog, expression and body language is so stiff and unnatural (not a hater okay) this is my first time seeing his acting so im not sure how he did in other drama, i dont think he is a main lead level yet.
