Comments

Kdramawatcher Apr 07 2026 3:16 am I just realize that Si O and Hee Sik are brother in another realm hahaha. Even though the actors not in one frame together.

khye Jan 11 2026 2:05 pm I agree with the comment below me. A pretty person will get away with murder 100%

Deer Oct 19 2025 2:11 pm This drama was entertaining and cute! I think a lot of people hate on this drama because their precious Byeo Wooseok is not the male lead. And for people to feel sorry for his character and root for him is ridiculous. We all make choices in life. Some good and some bad. Si-o makes one bad decision after another, and yet he gets loved and praised? Damn, having a pretty face will let you get away with murder. And people saying if it weren’t for the villain, they wouldn’t even be interested in this drama? So fucking ridiculous. He’s a fucking evil psychopath.

Hee-Sik and Nam-Soon were so cute together. I don’t know how anyone who watched this drama didn’t see the love and twinkle in their eyes when they’re together. I did wish the drama had a bit more romance in it.

And for the people who keeps on complaining why Namsoon acts like child at times. I think it’s because she’s free-spirited in an unfamiliar country and not knowing Korean customs so she comes off as blunt and innocent like a child. So people need to get over it.

This drama was hilarious, had me flat out laughing in a lot of the scenes. The characters were kooky and funny. It also had sweet tender moments that warmed my heart. I’m glad I gave this drama a chance because it wasn’t bad like a lot of people made it out to be.

Kopiko Jul 23 2025 4:17 am Nonsensical writing with bo regards to logic and details...antidote stored in refrigerated conditions and ML goes digging into normal carton boxes just to display desperation? Basement vault enclosure entrance with an ordinary wooden door with ordinary door knob? Facing vicious enemy and Russian mafia without special countrr tactics and training? Vital lab without secured entree and only operated by a lone researcher? But some of these nonsense provided a fun carefree watch...when you are waiting for new episodes of current dramas.

Chewbacca May 13 2025 8:27 pm Am I the only one who feel sorry for the villain the whole episodes? My heart goes for Si-O..

Nik Oct 30 2024 6:05 pm I can't find anything bad about this drama I actually liked the characters and actors. Of course it's a little crazy, but entertaining and this is the reason to watch something, no? :) I wished they would have not just shown that bell in the drawer a few times, I was waiting the whole time that Hee-sik shows it to Nam-soon ...

Annie Oct 29 2024 8:34 pm Oh Nara queen of cameos, would've loved if they made a sequel now cause I need to see my baby act again. Kim Jungeun, Kim Haesook, and Byeon Wooseok carried this show

Richard Aug 07 2024 8:41 pm Who is the band in the heritage club in episode two? My Shazam app cannot identify the song.

Inyi Jul 05 2024 9:51 pm What is the name of the song in the 7.ep???!!!

Hannah Jun 28 2024 11:35 pm Been thinking what on earth had made the writer and director decide to create a villain that's so charismatic and lovable?!

If that's their way to get the viewers' interest, then they succeeded. To the point that we already started rooting for him. To the point that we began hating the writer because of the villain's ending Lol

Also, why does the role of ML seem unnecessary? Okay, just watch it and you'll know why.

Missing Sonaki Jun 11 2024 10:11 am These comments are sending me ???. I already knew it'd be bad and I'm only watching this cos Woo-seok is in it but it's really too ridiculous. I'm curious as to why the character of Namsoon was written to be so childlike when she's 22 and supposed to "consummate" soon according to her mother. I hate everyone's dynamic with Nam-in except Nam-soon's but I think that's because we don't get to see the siblings interact a lot. I don't like Ryu Si-o's hair, Byeon Woo-seok's face saves it tho. The relationship between the grandma and her man started off strange, it doesn't feel consensual and that scene where she carried him into the hotel... ?. I'm still only at episode 8 and it's already tiring but I'll see it through to the end.

I will say though, don't go in expecting anything. That's the only way you'll be able to get through it.

Ella Jun 10 2024 10:30 am 7/10

If not for the villain, it would be 3/10. I literally skipped a lot of scenes except for Ryu Si-o's scenes 'cause they are the only interesting part of this drama.

MALE LEAD

I love Ong Seung Woo but him as ML really lacks something. I almost forgot that he is the male lead. No solid story, no significant contribution, no chemistry with the FL.

FEMALE LEAD

Why does she act like a ten-year-old girl? And how can she be so heartless in the end? I understand that Ryu Si-o is evil but she just watched him kill himself JUST LIKE THAT. No empathy. No guilt. I hated her character for that.

MOTHER

She's beautiful and acts well. I loved her outfits.

GRANDMOTHER

The writers didn't really need to go that far for her love life. Too much unnecessary scenes.

VILLAIN

HE IS THE PLOT. His acting is superb. Si-o is the only well-written character in the drama. He's with a solid back story and I guess, the only character with a goal.

PLOT AND SCENES

I already said that the villain is the entire plot. Whenever the women show off their strength, I needed to prepare myself for cringey feels.

To sum up, you can still watch it. Just brace yourself 'cause you may end up rooting for the villain more than the protagonists.

Roo May 28 2024 1:59 pm The plot is a bit better than bong soon, but the female lead is acting cutesy all the time with a lot of head and body shake, and she's grinning no matter what situation she's in. While Park boyoung's acting is way natural

HULAROCK May 11 2024 12:23 am Love love loved it.. good wins. The 3 ladies. Grandma. Mom and Nam Soon awesome. So entertaining. I had a difficult time with RI So. Too.much.

Juliet May 09 2024 1:02 pm I enjoyed watching this KDrama it was so interesting at the start and it gotten even more interesting when Byeon Wooseok came in the scene thinking there’s going to be a love triangle between Ong Seung Wu and Lee Yoo Mi but it wasn’t so much and at the end Byeon Wooseok died it got me super sad. I wish he doesn’t have to go and just teamed up with Lee Yoo Mi and catch all the bad guys together

Dramawatcher May 05 2024 11:46 am Byeon Wooseok is the only good thing about this drama. But save your time and watch his recent drama Lovely Runner. I’m only 6 episodes in but it’s 10000x better than Strong Woman Nam Soon.

may May 02 2024 2:46 pm byeon wooseok saved this kdrama

Meahri Apr 27 2024 1:27 pm I don't know why, but everything in this drama feels so unnatural. I mean, I know it's fiction, but I still enjoy watching Do Bong Soon. I just think there's too much unimportant story that makes me confused. Was this supposed to be about Namsoon? But most of the focus is on her grandmother's affair and her mother. It seems like she's not the main but a supporting character. However, I want to appreciate the actor who plays as the villain. His acting stands out more than the main characters. Even his chemistry with the female lead is better than the male lead.

But I don't understand why the writer gave the villains such sad backgrounds. If you want to make a villain with a mafia background, why not just make him a psychopath? Why do you have to give him with that much pains? Abandoned, tortured, betrayed? Gosh! Why make the villain look so miserable and gather empathy from viewers? I just cannot understand.

Overall, I enjoy the acting of the villain, even though the writers gave him a ahitty plot. How can a boss mafia not recognize Tzegzeg as Namsoon sooner? I think the writer just hates the Ryu Si Oh character that much. They play him dirty... i think the writer is the villain itself in this story...

Brooklynienne Mar 09 2024 9:37 pm They set this up for a sequel. This means they did not know how unengaging the final product was.

I do not know how I finished this drama. I really enjoyed the first iteration, but yikes.

I think the drama became about the mother because the daughter's character was a little too immature acting.

I do not recommend this drama. I've never seen a show go off the rails like this.

krokri Mar 03 2024 11:54 pm how do I work this thing?i cannot even watch it..

Pel Feb 19 2024 4:26 pm This kdrama is a total disaster, a flop why is she always acting cute and stupid ? So cringey tuehhh I can’t even imagine wasting my time and data on this rubbish ?‍♀️?‍♀️?‍♀️

Rima Feb 02 2024 4:46 pm It was an OK drama but not wow for me. It started off well but around ep 3 i lost interest. I am now at ep 9 and i am still hoping the story would take me but i fear i am wasting my time here. Also the character of Nam Soon is annoying me, so childish and ridiculous. I rate this a 5/10.

CritiQueen Jan 24 2024 3:28 am I am sick of kdramas where the plot involves targetting drug syndicates, or anything involving drugs. I've had enough. While the title is strong girl namsoon, I believe it should be strong girl geum ju. They messed up big time with the casting. Even the villain and FL has better chemistry than the ML. Always annoyed by how they made nam soon act cute all the time. There were also lots of unnecessary scene that only stretched the drama, but never contribute to the development of the plot. I rate this drama 7.3/10

Zeila Jan 17 2024 8:51 am OK...I enjoyed it. It was a nice break from the historical and crime dramas I have been watching. You need to watch this for what it is...a nice fantasy. People seem to be reviewing it as if it were a fully developed melodrama. FL is adorable, love her quirkyness. I, for one, enjoyed the grandmother's "love affair"...very funny. Only thing that drove me nuts was the lipstick on Kim Jung Eun. IDK why some women overdraw their lips to try and make them look fuller, when it just ends up looking clownish. Anyway, it was fun to watch.

LsG Jan 06 2024 10:00 am High on political messages, low on actual characterisation or content. I expected a grandmother-mother-daughter family bonding with some good action scenes together against a superstrong villain unlike last time, but it ended with a villain with a pointless sad backstory bait for the viewership and no stakes. Very hammy reminder from the good cops about Korea's notorious war on drugs timed right with the scandal in the industry that broke out.

Chris Dec 25 2023 2:09 am I must say, the only character in this story that I dislike is the villain. He doesn't deserve anything good because he is evil. He claims to hate lies, but he told a lie during the conference. Moreover, I find the villain's character quite idiotic (quite stupid) for a mafia boss. He is the most unintelligent mafia character I have ever seen. He is looking for Namsoon, who comes from Mongolia, but he cannot seem to recognize Tsegtseg, whose name is also Mongolian. Instead, he blindly trusted Hwajia's word. It's ironic! ?

Kurtie Dec 23 2023 8:59 am I think I am the only one who enjoyed this drama. The comedy was better than Do Bong Soon. I love Do bong soon and I have that more than 10 times already. But when I watched Namsoon, I keep my expectations lower as the characters are different and guess what... to my surprise, I liked it. No. I Love It. There was never a dull moment or a scene that bored me except for the way they kill Ryu Shi O. Didn't get all the hate you're giving this drama. It's so good that I listed it on my top 20 favorite kdrama. I'm hoping for a season 3 and hopefully the hate it's receiving doesn't affect in the making.

Rating 8/10 Things to Improve: More fight scene with Namsoon

Amy Dec 22 2023 2:01 pm For me, the drama started of well and the first 2 episodes were fine, but I started losing interest from the 3rd episode, but the loyalty that keeps me from dropping dramas made me stay till the end. And at the end, for me the best part of the whole show was the villain, the only character that can be counted as a proper one, and also the best delivered one. I came for Lee Yumi and Ong Seong Wu (because I've watched their other dramas), but stayed for Byeon Woo Seok (even though this was his first work that I've watched)

FF Dec 21 2023 2:02 pm Most of the people hating on this show do so because of what happened to the villain in the end. But honestly, what did they expect? The villain killed innocent people and blackmailed others. Just because he had a tough past doesn't give him the right to do those things. Lots of people are finding silly reasons to hate the show just because the villain is attractive. I even saw someone complaining that the villain had more backstory than the main male character, but I don't understand how that's a bad thing. We usually don’t even get to see to see a villain's backstory, so that was a nice change. Overall, I think the show deserves a perfect 10/10

Chloe Dec 21 2023 12:48 am I love this show with its multigenerational stories and the balance of comedy and drama. I'm so glad I saw it before reading the overly negative reviews, or else I'd have never given it a chance.

Noonim Dec 12 2023 8:24 pm Regardless of what everyone says, I really really like this drama. It's not supposed to be like the first drama because that's their own story. That's what makes this drama unique. I really enjoyed this drama and all the casts, which I can see they've all grown from their previous projects which makes it even more fun to watch. Love It! I hope everyone gives this drama a chance. Thanks to all the cast for all their hard work and my lovely evenings with them.

Jana Dec 12 2023 2:16 pm The title should be "Strong woman: Hwang GeumJu" because everything was about her ?

I watched Bong Soon and Minmin many times and this one didnt even get close to what the first one had, especially in terms of chemistry.

Kellie88 Dec 09 2023 10:22 pm Not worth it at all. I watched it because I like the first one with Park Bo-Young and Park Hyung Sik so I thought this one would be great too but nope - not even close. The story is so boring especially the grandma love story....dragging too much. The funny parts are not even funny but straight boring. The only person that kept me watching is Byeon Woo Seok. I only watched it to ep.8 (with lots of skipping and fast forwarding) then skipped episodes all the way to the last one.

Kimfong Dec 07 2023 11:19 pm 2/10 not worth to watch

Ramyun Dec 04 2023 11:45 pm The love story of the grangmother is so irrelevant. Unless if JunHee was part of the mafia.

meow Dec 03 2023 5:10 pm okay listen, the drama is for sure not worth it. dont waste your time watching this, The Aegyo Is So Cringey and too much like they cant balance. like the drama is mysterious and stuff but they were heading to cuteness instead idk disliking this for life. also hate the cast except the grandma she was into her role very much.

Co Dec 03 2023 3:47 pm I'm a fan of women being strong, but this part of men in Thier family being weak is a bit overrated. Ryu So O and gang Nam Soon brief romance was more convincing to me than the Cop. The grandma' s Romance was over the top, more than the granddaughters, & the daughter's romance. If you have been watching action movies for a while you will know that, they didn't get it. Some parts loos so unbelievable. It makes me doubt. There's always room for improvement. We can always do better.....

Nini Dec 02 2023 11:30 pm I've seen SWDBS so many times so at first I was meh when I heard this was being produced, but the trailer had me excited. And then I watched the show. It has nothing on the original story line. The only similarity to the show was her strength and family background history. Other than that, it's rushed, the goals being met during the first few episodes, feeling like a happy ending and unsure why you should continue. I kept on, and the goal changed into the drug issue which was fine. But honestly this was way darker than I originally thought, too many good characters died meaningless deaths and the violence was really too graphic at time. At one time the ML villian kills someone with a metal pole, in which blood splatters across his face. I know the directors are different for each of these and maybe that's why. The somewhat cliff hanger didn't leave much to be desired, except hinting at the new strong girl being a male. Welp, there goes the whole plot line. I watched it all, giving it multiple chances but in the end it's not something I will ever come back to. I can't complain like others about the overacting and exaggerated characters reactions because that kind of cringey acting was in SWDBS as well and it made me love it cuz it lightened the mood. But in all honesty I wish they had called it something else. The first was really balanced in hilarious and intense moments, and the goal remained the same, the continuation for each episode got you ready for the next and final ending. But this drama couldn't keep up and was honestly all over the place, and the ridiculous affair the grandmother had, despite her husband coming back really ticked me off. Plus her not losing her power for hitting him even though she was in the wrong. Sure he could have called, sent mail, or whatever, but that never excuses cheating on a spouse, even after finding out his reason for leaving. I think in the end, Ryu Sio should have been stopped in some way, and she didn't even prevent him from anything, feeling bad for him. Not sure why everyone liked him so much, he was a murdering druggie who enjoyed torturing people and killing anyone who so much as ticked him off. His background was not an excuse, especially when using the scene of him being handed a gun and forced to shoot a man as a kid. I'm sorry but if really hated his childhood he shouldn't have continued to kill people, and if he did he should have gone after them, not innocent people. He claimed he hated lying the most in the end yet his entire existence was a lie, he lied about everything he did and hid his true motives. He should have paid for what he did, the suicide with dignity? There's no such thing. In the end this show wasn't worth watching at all and if they keep going later on I won't even bother with it.

If you want something lighter and haven't watch Strong Woman Do Bong Soon yet, watch it instead. This one isn't worth your time. I've never left a negative review on this site, but it was so frustrating to have wasted so much time on it.

dramadramadrama Nov 30 2023 3:22 am light-hearted drama. However, not as good as the first. Last few episodes were a bit boring at certain parts. Also, felt like the grandparents love story got dragged on a bit too much and it was too cringey to watch at times. Wish main couple had more screen time too

Ppang ssi Nov 30 2023 12:50 am The title should be "Love of Strong Woman Gil Joong Gan and Old Barista"

Kasih Nov 29 2023 9:32 pm I'm so proud of how Seongwu showcased so many facets of his acting in this drama. His versatility made me excited to see what happens next. The wait for your next projects will be worth it.

Strawhat Nov 29 2023 9:02 pm The acting was great for most of the cast, there were some exaggerations but they did the best they could with the script they were given. The ending didn't hit the landing quite right, and it kind of hurts. Geumju and Ryo Sio were the best part of the show. 5/10.

PANDORA Nov 29 2023 2:07 pm 4.5/10 too many plot holes and exaggerations for it to have been a good series. Especially with what happened to Ryu Sio… they focused too much on irrelevant stuff and not enough time to develop the characters properly. Sio deserved better.

jasmintan Nov 28 2023 6:07 pm Lemon_A, i love how you explained everything so thoroughly and help us give those psychos who accuse us of siding si o js for his looks a piece of your mind. i hope i can copy the whole paragraph and paste it everywhere coz it's getting annoying, oh coz he is good looking, villain is a villain, namsoon is not at fault, he tried to kill her family blablabla..their excuses are getting too repetitive it's getting on my nerves

Dingutzdvid21 Nov 28 2023 3:49 am Sad to say it's not as good as Strong Girl Bong-soon.

Bong Nov 28 2023 2:56 am Someone please explain this mystery ? The X chromosomes are inherited from mother to child. For all sexes of the child. The other X or Y chromosome comes from the dad. So the maternal X is a dominant trait here right? What do they mean with what they said about the mutation on X and Y?

Yun Nov 27 2023 8:04 pm I really enjoyed this one. Very light hearted! I enjoyed seeing Kim Jung Eun again also. -No annoying MIL's - No parents fighting against the couple. Just the opposite. - The couple actually had compatibility and seemed to want the same things -I wouldn't call Si O the 2nd lead syndrome. There wasn't really much competition for the top spot. They only looked at each other. -They all seemed to care for each other genuinely, even with Myung Hee they turned a foe into an ally. -I enjoyed seeing the older couple with the cliche parts. It was almost like sattire. And from 2 of the greatest veterans in the business. It was a fun one. I knew Si O would never have just gone along with the arrest, so there was nothing surprising about that. Thanks to the writer for taking the higher road.

Anu Nov 27 2023 6:18 pm They had everything but ruined it. Ending was not satisfying. I hope someone else makes the next series.

Ayomide Nov 27 2023 5:19 pm I think ep. 16 is not the last episode of the series Stay tuned for additional episodes

Sigh Nov 27 2023 2:53 pm Man this drama is messy and has inconsistent writing. I'm just waiting for a drama where Lee Yoomi and Byun Woo Seok are romantic leads, they have good chemistry.

Lemon_A Nov 27 2023 1:08 pm !! SPOILER!!

Im sorry but, If you are triggered by controversial opinion then stop reading pls.          
3/10

This is literally the worst k-drama I've ever seen. It started okay. The plot and stuff. It was doable. But I was wrong. 1st. They did Ryu-S-io so wrong. He was the best character in the whole drama and he carried the show. He could have a redemtion arc but they ruined it. The FL was the red vlag this whole time. She could change him in to another person. He trusted her, but she betrayed him. He did not chose to be a dr*g seller. He grew up like this. As a maffia boss. He deserved so much more. The writers just killed him. And make him make miserable, but he was actually The script is messed up in so many ways. they thought they could make a cute couple, but they miserably failed in doing so. The story is just shit and this spin-off is just not it.

I skipped so many scenes, bc they were so unnecessary. The script absolutely sucks, as if it was written by a 4 year old. Infact, even those kids make better stories. I know he has good looks, but thats not the reason I rooted for him. But guess what? They just killed him. Even when he killed himself, Nam soo (FL) just shedded a tear, but she was the red vlag. Now she feels sorry too. Also, they just ended his life instead of redeeming him. Don't blame the actors, blame the writers. They did a horrible job. The ML and FL chemistry lacked till the very end even after Shi-O’s death, theyre more like buddies. I hate the fact that I spend my braincells on this very dissapointing story. This story was bad an nonsense and Ryu Shi-O deserved more. They don't even need a season 3, its getting worse and worse. I liked strong woman do bong soo the most. I don't get why people hate Shio, He selled dr*gs, killed people and was bad, but he could atleast have redemption-arc He got betrayed by his only love. Best friend and birth parents. And they expected me to hate him. I regret watching this drama. They even gave the girl who st@bbed namsoo a 3rd chance and with Shio they didn't even considered his backstory neither a change to change him into a good person.

The characters are poorly written. I hate the fact that they lacked chemistry and the fact that the mom was weird. She was too stiff imo. I know I'm harsh but this drama could be an amazing spin-off but they failed. Also I cried when Shio died. He's in my eyes no villian. Just a heart broken person. he didn't choose to be raised by maffia. Like what was the red/green light for? Why did they gave him a backstory? If he was the villian, why make us feel sympathy for him? The villain was the only character with any depth with the other girl. My mom watched the drama with me and she rates it als low. We dropped it mid-way bc it was boring.

The cast was okay. I loved the grandma in other dramas, but this drama was trash. But something lacked and made me pissed. I just kept asking myself why I was watching this nonsense. And whoever says shi-o was a red flag or bad person are wrong. 'HE IS EVIL' I know, but can't evil people be humans too then? At the end of the day theyre human. Nam Soon was a red flag this whole time, she lend him on. All shi o needed was a helping hand someone he could trust. And she ruined it. Now he's dead and they can't save him anymore. I was so excited to see this drama, but I'm very dissapointed by the outcome of this drama. It could do so much better with a better script thats NOT written by a 4 year old. I literally cried when he said 'I was abandoned 3 times Once by the birth parents Once by the only woman I Loved and trusted Once by the friend I missed'

The writer is the true villain and they can't stop me from hating this series. Why did I spend my 2 months on this shitty drama...

Anyways, I loved all the cast, but the FL and the ML could have a better script. No, the whole drama could be better with a better script. I give this a 3/10, but Byeon Woo Seok is 10/10. That was the only reason I watched it. His acting was top-tier and outshined the ML so bad. I lowkey hope they're going to give him the credit he deserves. He carried the show and did it well. ''Just because he’s handsome you guys are colorblind af' No were NOT. He's indeed handsome af. But thats not it. They just killed him without regret. While Pavel is still out there selling shit. So I'm not delusional, you are. people think 'we' like him is bc of his looks. But theyre just delusional. If he was that monstrous, heartless villain some people want to see him as, he took good care of his dad silently, opened a shop for him so that he can live comfortably. What do you want more? He had given so many screen time and yet he died, so the screen time was just for traumatizing us at the end. There was to many screen time for supporting characters, what was very sad. The cameo was actually top tier of park hyung sik and park bo young. Theyre still the same and I loved the cameo of them. It gave me so much hope.

Still, this script is messed up and trash. I don't think I will recommend this to anyone. You may hate me for typing this, but its my opinion. Feel free to hate on me. also, y'all can have opinions on your own. I respect them and I get them somehow. But don't call people stupid and trow hate at them just bc their opinion is not similair to yours. People have feelings and opinions too. Anyways, I hope coming up 'My Demon' will fix my k-trauma. My tears are done and I'm gonna move on. No hate to anyone who played in this drama. It just lacked things and those left me dissapointed and thats why I cried. I hope they learn from their mistakes and make a kdrama that has a better script. The actors have so much potentional and have great visuals, but the characters are just trash. Overall, 3/10

Majestic Rose Nov 27 2023 8:21 am Disppointed. Nam soon didn’t even show much action here. She just focused in being a secret agent. Nam soon’s mom and grandma had more share of action. The title should have been Strong Mom and Grandma of Nam soon. I don’t see also the importance of Nam soon’s grandma’s love story here and the story should not have focused only on Ryu. It got boring and dragging. Lacking action from Namsoon.

Gagetti Dario Nov 27 2023 2:02 am A nice series. But not quite what we expected. Perhaps Nam Soon could have exploited her strength earlier and better, instead of setting out to do what she can't do (the policewoman). Also surprising was Ryu Si O, who despite his apparent strength and confidence finally found himself alone. A little difficult to understand. A TV serie that although not exceptional lends itself well to a second saison as superheroes are long-lived and deserve more attention. Our rating is 75 Saluti dall'ITALIA !

Cutie Nov 26 2023 7:56 pm OMG I just realized Secretary Jung is Seo Jang Hoon ex-wife!!

bella Nov 26 2023 6:36 pm omg i thought bread song was his childhood friend, this was such a Perfect Cast, Perfect Drama, Perfect OST

i'm so sad that it's over

I only wish they have they had a season 3 with same cast.. in my opinion this is Way Better than original drama because its about how rich people are helping the good, which is rarely seen in dramas, and how super power is used for good haha

The Chemistry, The Perfect Cast, the OST just for the couple joong gan + junhee, everything is perfect

I was waiting for the relationship with the brother + geumju's assistant lol

Angela Crouch Nov 26 2023 5:00 pm I love the show. Such a beautiful and handsome cast. Thank you all for all your hard work. Please, please please, have more seasons.

Thank you! Sincerely, Angela "Angie" Crouch

Aimen Nov 26 2023 3:07 pm I loved loved loved the ending sm.....♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

I was Bread Song's biggest supporter but he betrayed me ㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋ...

Rc137 Nov 26 2023 2:34 pm Just viewed the last episode. Nam Soon kicked butt! Hee Sik and Nam Soon kissed, the bad guy got taken down and there was a wedding proposal. So the happy ending is complete. Give this drama 10 stars **********

Frejya Nov 26 2023 1:16 pm If you show this kind of backstory of a villain of course I will support him ? Congrats to the writers who made me hate the FL ?? The problem is she was a secret agent ok but didn’t even show any emphaty or pity for the villain she even didn’t try to help him to be a good person? She was like a selfish little girl who only cares about her own lovestory nothing like a superhero or STH and maybe that’s why I didn’t like her #justiceforryusio ?

Kim Nov 26 2023 11:50 am I watched this drama because of Ong Seung Wu and of course because I love Strong Woman Bong Soon. I totally love Seung Wu since Wanna One and I know how talented he is. But too bad, all the characters that he got were just so-so for him. I wish after he releases from military,he'll get better character that suits him well.

anonymous Nov 26 2023 10:31 am Akira Kim(Bread Song) is a hot model but hes no Byeon Wooseok. He should have been Binbin! Season 3 with them would suck.

Cutie Nov 26 2023 8:33 am You guys are so fake, if someone else ect as Ryu Si-O in this drama, you guys won’t comment like this. Just because he’s handsome, you guys just close eyes on what he did. He Is A Criminal, he just using Nam-Soon for his own benefit. I hate Ryu Si-O!!

Namsson Nov 26 2023 12:06 am I really don't understand Joo Woo Jae's character as Ji Hyun-Soo here. He should have been just a cameo instead.

OP Nov 25 2023 6:36 pm Wow! This is the first drama, and I'm not rooting for the female lead. Nam Soon is the actual villain here. She lied and used SiO feelings. He treated her kindly, and she betrayed him. Then act like he deserves it. Aren't we supposed to be rooting for her? What is the writer's doing? I am so frustrated watching how this is turning out.

de**z Nov 25 2023 4:00 pm The main lead is not attractive, i mean there's no chemistry with namsoon. Si-o was great and has strong chemistry with the Namsoon. i was hoping the villain will change his life with the help of namsoom but sadly, i think it wont happen. There were episodes I skipped specially when namsoon's grandma scenes and family vacations? it's boring... episode 15 is not interesting though.

Mirin Nov 25 2023 1:03 pm This drama was so cool and I really liked the acting of Gang Nam Soon. Her character was really cool that I can't wait to watch the final episode.

anonymous Nov 25 2023 1:13 am I'm surprised nobody has any issues with the 12 year age gap

Hanna Nov 24 2023 9:31 am Many people are confused by one thing about why a police officer lives in a fancy building but in his first character description taken out by JTBC it was specified he comes from a major family where everyone attended Seoul National University but for him(this part is never touched on in the actual series). This might be a callback to In Guk-doo whose parents were highly accomplished but he'd fixated on going to the police university instead of his other options.

Jestine29 Nov 23 2023 2:02 pm LOL, im like what has the world gotten into Si-o was betrayed and everyone is raging because the handsome villain was betrayed bwhahahah boohoo no matter what his story is, no matter how much feelings he has for Tsetseg the main fact is He Is Eva; period. Why do you justify his evil deeds just because he has more chemistry with Nam Soon that the male lead? He was betrayed Versus all those people he had killed? nam Soon put him in his place. He was a murderer, a real scum of society and yet you defend him??? What's wrong with you people!!!

Phyllind Nov 23 2023 2:54 am Im so confused. Who's the male lead here.

Keysha Nov 21 2023 10:18 am Hi. Anyone know the title of song that ong seung woo/ Gang Hee Sik dancing to in ep 2? It's the same song that played when they make a family party.

Jenjen Nov 21 2023 5:08 am Okay, i respect your opinion that you can't like this S2 but in my opinion, the both has great storyline. I get it that you like more the villain than a good one. I can fix him, i can change him.. duh i was like that too. Otherwise, I can't change the person who doesn't want to change. I understand his backstory and it was sad, but still a villain will always a villain. He's chemistry to namsoon was overflowing yet she can't love that man who tried to kill her mom and also he's a dr*g dealer and user. It's like maybe in another universe they have a drama together in rom-com.

Aakriti V Nov 21 2023 2:44 am Very boring .. serious letdown of the strong girl series .. only good thing about the series is Si -O at least one good face and good acting..overacting from other actors The main lead, the cop looks like he is copying Park Hyung sik And of course not to mention unnecessary romance of the grandmom, that was so hard to watch Skipped through so many parts in the series till now . I just want to know the ending and what happens to si -O thats it

Sarah_oh Nov 21 2023 2:20 am I’m a fan of SWDBS but this S2 one - I couldn’t watch without skipping parts. I only could watch till episode 4 before calling it quits. I tried though but man it’s so cliche, and the scenes so predictable. The parts that are so supposed to be funny are more silly in my opinion. Season 2 is definitely a let down.

Hana Nov 20 2023 10:25 am Ugggh! Si Yo should have been mainlead I want lovestory between him and tsegtseg ! From Toxic sad villain to regretful hero would have good character development

Indo_jawa Nov 20 2023 5:22 am Really great drama, need next season please, hope will collaborate wing do bong soon really enjoy watch this drama with all my family and children, family friendly drama

Gnd Nov 20 2023 1:58 am The only way to redeem the Si-o character is to kill him off or put him in jail. I hope he doesn't escape from his crimes so that could be the set up for season 3. Impatiently waiting for the final eps.

Why is it always the male characters? Nov 20 2023 1:39 am Oh please with all the hypocrisy. How come no one cares at all about Hwaja?

Sigh.. Nov 20 2023 12:10 am Betrayal is hurting, even for bad people, regardless! I feel sad for Si-o. I don’t like how the writer made Si-o and Nam Soon as friends and turned them against each other like that!

Damb Nov 19 2023 10:47 pm I guessed but now it seems definite the reason they were making this much more lore is they are trying to lobby for a season 3.

Gnd Nov 19 2023 7:44 pm I swear this drama is such a mess. It's seriously all over the place that I just want it to end already. I seriously am uninterested in all the characters (even namsoon) except Si-o. Look I know he's the villain, but it's really the writers fault for making his character have the most depth and emotional range and also making his story tragic which in turn make some people sympathetic. Add to the fact Namsoon betrays his trust even though she keeps on saying to trust her and she kinda plays with his feelings I think some are alittle annoyed with how one-dimensional she's made to be. They probably should have cast 2 different actors for the villain and SML. I don't really care who she ends up with I just hope the ending is at least satisfactory and justifiable. Seriously such a waste of a good cast and premise.

@@@@ Nov 19 2023 4:58 pm Y'all's obsession with the bad guy is gross. Like its common sense he is bad and did bad things no matter what his background is like. Y'all just like him because he is good looking.

! Nov 19 2023 3:30 pm They made this series like some cheap version of My Hero Academia and ofc them crazy fangirls got hooked on the typical manga villain with unbelievable tragic backstory who will do genocide but is waiting to be saved by the most perfect moral hero coz he sheds tears. I'm sorry guys Kdrama villains come with a way higher standards, some even win and much of the actors look much sharper and less feminine flower boy idol. Also now its obvious Sio was way too dumb when it came with Namsoon and love doesn't cover for it. Too many instances even suspension of disbelief doesn't hold up about dumb things the police, the mafia and doogo all did and thought just for this plan to work.

Philanthropist Nov 19 2023 12:47 pm jilian~~ Right? Like, I can accept if they still really want to pair Hee-Sik and Namsoon. But after all what had happened to Shi-Oh, and to think he never had a friend, someone who stay by his side and truly see him as Shi-Oh rather than Anton. They way he can smile so bright and laugh when he with Namsoon. He just need a friend. Someone he can trust, love and someone who trust and love him so bad.

I swear, rather than arrest Shi -Oh, if the writer want to make Shi-Oh the evil until the end.. please just kill him after everyone know what had happened in his entire life. Kill him after he redeem himself or sacrificed for something he love and care. So that he can be free from Pavel and the true evil. Just don't make him live alone again. He just tired of being treated like that, betrayed and lied to.

Hee Sik do have a sad backstory that needed love, but I feel like Shi-Oh needs more. His dying heart, need someone warm to really save him. He is the villain that I want to save rather than kill or punish. Because he was moulded, created evil, not born to be evil. He just unlucky ??

Chizzy Nov 19 2023 12:16 pm I love Shi-oh. My first time to love a villain in kdramas. Hoping for a twist and turn him to a good character in the end. Rooting on for his new projects.

jillian Nov 19 2023 7:27 am I did not watch today's episode (Ep 13) And I will not watch it until the end! It pains me to see how Nam soon betrayed Shio! ='( And how she confirms her love for Hee-Sik! And this after all that they've shown more scenes with Shio and Nam Soon together? Their chemistry is undoubtedly high! Now, she suddenly appeared with Hee-Sik on the bed and confessed their love for each other? Nah! >:( Others might criticize why are we siding with the villain. Maybe because we just saw the softer side of Shio! I felt that he was just a victim and not really a bad person. Well, I will just wait for the ending and see if Shio will not die. Or I might just leave it as it is and move on to another Kdrama series! #WrongMoveWriters #WrongChoiceOfLoveteam #TeamVillain

nancey Nov 18 2023 11:48 pm I just want to say good job to kang heesik, I really like his acting in this drama. Despite the lack of background & the scene that heesik have, he still nailed his character so well. He's not just acting well in comedy, but also emotional scene & romantic scene. I'm so amazed with his angry and crying scene. No wonder, in korea, all people (korean netizens) praised him so much for his acting skills. Especially for his vocalization, his intonation, and his stare. even korea netizens called him all rounder actor. As we know, it's not easy to get praises in acting from korea netizens, they're all have high standards and so objective, so when all korea netizens praising him for his acting, we know that it"s fact and really true. I hope he can get an award for this amazing and versatile role

rose Nov 18 2023 11:36 pm The plot and pace of drama actually was very good in the beginning, but in the middle parts of drama, the plot seems odd and looked messy bcs they keep prolong the drugs problem. Maxmovie article in Korea also said that it’s such a disappointment for the plot of this drama, the drug problems that has already appeared since ep 2 even until ep 13 still couldn’t be finished yet.

I also noticed that how slow the plot of this drama is caused by the writers seems want to keep forcing the love line between the villain and Namsoon —no, to be exact the writers just want to show about the villain now, even i don’t feel the 3 Strong women as their main story anymore right now. Which I think that’s very bad.

And even with so many scenes of the villain, the villain still couldn't deliver the villain's vibes. I couldn’t get the feels of him being the villain in here. His stare and his expression is empty, couldn't show the vibes of villain at all. The villain who nailed his character in the drama is actually the one that make all people scared of that character. And i couldn't get that feels in this drama sadly. I miss to see the villain in dramas that can give you creepy feeling just from the gaze, and the villain in here is failed.

I just hope they can catch the thieves or villain soon, cause all this drug problems area already too long, we need to move on

Aeri Nov 18 2023 11:03 pm As 3 more ep to go.. even if they won't let Shi Oh and Namsoon together. I really hope they will let this man be free and have a happy ending. He deserves more colour in his life.

bibimbap Nov 18 2023 7:40 pm I think that Shi-Oh's childhood friend either the agent guy from Opulentia who's helping Geum-ju or Mr. Bread, and Pavel's Nozh is Junhee. I would love to have a plot twist that a villain x female main lead (Shi-Oh and Namsoon) would end up together. Shi-Oh might have redemption and character development because the real main villain are Pavel. I love Hee-shik of course, but Shi-Oh and Namsoon have this chemistry

Rc137 Nov 18 2023 4:50 pm Only 3 episodes left. Can’t wait. We all know all the “bad guys” will be caught “in the end”. Then will drama end with Nam Soon getting married and have a daughter?

Abiola Nov 18 2023 1:05 pm I can't believe some people are complaining about the FL, are you lot kidding me? She depicted her role so perfectly, she's a carefree, fearless & someone that doesn't think much before going into action, just like her mother. Also she's someone whose way of living is different from others cos she was raised in another country, behaving lackadaisically has always been charm and that's what everyone likes about her. She wasn't raised to hide her power or pretend. And thanks to her, her mother & grandmother we could enjoy a funny side to this drama that would have otherwise been very tensed. So please give the girl her props cos she's killing it.

Renwa Nov 18 2023 12:54 pm Just completing episode 13 of what I now consider a most unique, fun & lovely drama. I initially wasn’t sure how I felt about SGNS Until I watched it through another lens which opened up a different level of enjoyment. It occurred to me that this drama reminded me of a comic book story that came alive on the screen through an artful experienced cast, consummate director and cinematographer. It allowed all the wonderful aspects of Korean humor to pass through each episode. Somehow it all hung together beautifully without seeming “cheesy” nor improbable. The actors, true veterans, “got it” and made each scene work. I’ve watched much K Drama over the last many years and truly experience this drama as unique in its quality & enjoyment. Lee Yoo-Mi’s grin becomes priceless, Ong Jeong-Wu (a favorite) a great emotional balance, Byron Woo-Seok, a standout, Kim Jung-Eu & Kim Hae Sook , loud, loveable, outrageous & so talented. I recommend this drama without reservation but suggest you find a lens other than a traditional k drama to enjoy all this one has to give.

Yeah sure Nov 18 2023 12:37 pm Most of the existing audience we are the ones who wanted the continuation of Do Bong Soon. The Gangnam version, unfortunately, disappoints. Apart from a better cinematography and a few moments until episode 3, the rest pretends to be something else than it is. The cast is mostly from the successful comedy, that is, the supporting actors, even the hairstyle imitates Bong Bong's, but it's not just comedy. Not even romance so far. The actors know that they are talented, I have seen them in other productions where they shone. But in this, the direction pushes them into some exaggerations compared to the bland script, which make them ridiculous and not comical. Only cringe at the maximum level, in luxury packaging. Too bad, the actors and the subject deserved something better.

Whi Nov 17 2023 5:41 am After watching tons of clips, reels, and fan-made videos, I decided to watch this drama. Only to be disappointed that BWS was not the male lead!! He was in all the videos I watched, I didn't see a single HeeSik and NamSoon pairing video. In the first season, the lead scenes were cute, but I find the Ongseungwu and Leeyoomi scenes so cringy here. I see why most fan videos are of RyuSio and NamSoon. They have more chemistry.

Anyway, it doesn't look like it will go the way I was hoping for. So, I might just skip this drama and just watch clips of RyuSiO and Namsoon together.

Indian Nov 16 2023 8:13 am I wish Nam soo and Ryu Shi-oh together at the end they are match with each other

Pong Nov 16 2023 5:58 am Nozh can be the actual mysterious grandfather

Y Nov 16 2023 5:56 am I wish they didn't have so many characters and focused more on the FL and MLs and their stories. While Catwoman/Lady Wayne was great in the beginning I'm kindof tired of the mom now. Bread Song's assistant is great though. Nam-in's arc and it's resolution was unsatisfactory and in bad taste. And no offense to the writer but I've seen better done romances for the old to middle aged couples in those very few series it is done in but I'm not feeling Granny's romance at all.

Minnie Nov 15 2023 8:50 pm Light hearted series. Really enjoyed watching Nam Soon's character. Somehow i hope Nam Soon and Ryu Shi-oh has a chance to be together. They have a small similar childhood history where both lost their biological parents when they were young. And they have so much dynamics and chemistry between them.

Ping Nov 15 2023 5:13 am I think the side story of the grandma with JunHee has an impact on the last remaining episode. I have a hunch that JunHee is Pavel’s Nozh. We cant compare the S1 to S2 because it has a different plot. I agree that NamSoon has more chemistry with SiO. The NamSoon character is just annoying sometimes. We cant blame the actors because they just acted what is on the script given to them. Over all its a feel good funny Kdrama.

Christine Nov 14 2023 4:56 pm Truly one of the funniest dramas I have seen in quite a long time. Every actor is killing their role.

Anon Nov 14 2023 7:34 am Wasn't Bong Soon 27 when she got married and had kids? Why is age so less now and added compulsory procreation in the family book? Also if they say their genes pass through the X chromosome then the son also gets the X chromosome from the mother no?

QQ Nov 14 2023 7:20 am i think the title more appropriate is strong woman hwang geum ju..waiting for kim jung eun scene every episode..little bit annoyed with nam soon role

Hanna Nov 14 2023 2:10 am Is it just me but I wish Nam Soon can be together with Ryu Si-O ? Somehow they have more chemistry than Nam Soon & Gan-i Sik. I mean the relationship between Gan-i Sik and Nam Soon is more like just a friend rather than romantic (if we exclude all of the skinship things between them). And would it be more thrilling if later on the real villain is actually Pavel then Si-O helps them to catch Pavel ? Well it’s just my opinion. But overall I enjoy this drama although I watch it with 1.5x speeds ?

JUJU Nov 13 2023 10:29 am Sorry but the leading lady (Nam-Soon) doesn't fit the role. She's doesn't give justice to the character at all. I feel like it will be better if other artist played the role instead of her. I stopped watching after episode 2. But I commend Byeon Woo Seok, he is excellent!

Miaca Nov 12 2023 10:56 pm I cried a lot when i watch episode 11.... Very touching episode i love the scene, Strong Girl Nam soon is a very Good and amazing drama I'm always excited to all episodes, i understand why sio become demon or cold-hearted person because of his childhood past , but i know he has a soft heart when it comes to his love .. I'm looking forward to the best ending ❤️

thetime176 Nov 12 2023 9:19 pm Byeon Woo Seok is excellent as the villain! This drama has its cringy parts, but I'm really enjoying it overall.

Rc137 Nov 12 2023 1:55 am Except for the grandma love story, if you skip, you might miss what is going on with the investigation. The focus of this story is crime investigation. If you were looking for a silly romcom, this kdrama isn’t it. I think this drama has excellent casting and the plot is so interesting. I think they gave the grandma a love interest because she has nothing else to do Nam Soon and Geum Ju are too busy trying to “bring down” the drug ring. Give this drama 10 stars.

kristine Nov 11 2023 10:27 am byeon woo-seok is the leading man right?? pleaseee give him the role???

BunYe Nov 11 2023 3:32 am To Kali- Hwaja is supposed to be from Yanbian so presumably she speaks one of the Yanbian Korean dialects I guess

Kali Nov 10 2023 12:27 pm I Have A Question!! What language does Hwaja speak?? ??

X_X Nov 10 2023 12:23 pm First Behind Your Touch now Namsoon, is it the year JTBC brings back romanticising the problematic hot guys in KDrama?

Kimchi Nov 09 2023 11:17 am I don't understand why the side characters get so much screen time! The main characters aren't even put on as much. It's mainly just the grandma and her new relationship. I seriously wish that Byeon Woo Seok was the male lead instead of Ong Seung wu. I genuinely find the villian more interesting to watch than the male lead. He's literally so cool despite the fact that he's the villian. He has a great personality and his development is so good. He's definitely the best charecter. I don't like skipping scenes as much as want to, but in this drama, I seriously can't resist skipping the scenes that are just not important and have nothing to do with the main characters. I really hope there's a plot twist or something, I need more of the main characters.

Naksu'sPlan Nov 09 2023 8:07 am JJ, I completely disagree. I think the dynamic between the 2 main leads is just great and equal on both sides. They both have this childish, quirky aura. The actor who plays the villain is just too dominant for her. But Ong Sung-woo is such a great choice paired with this actress. None of them overshine the other and they seem to have a great chemistry on screen. The problem with this show is the plot, they drag the plot a lot with the side characters, when they should've focused more on the main leads (for example, I don't care about the grandma's love interest and I skip all of her scenes - most of which don't contribute to the storyline at all).

Viewer Nov 06 2023 7:44 pm It has gotten to a point that I am fast skipping lots of portions and watched episodes 9 and 10 in about 10 minutes. Episodes 7 and 8 well fast forwarded as well. The show started well but started go down hill relatively fast.

Monday Nov 06 2023 11:23 am Gosh… Byeon Wook-Seok is so awesome! I completely agree with the previous comment about Byon Woo-Seok’s fantastic aura and undeniably outstanding charisma, even in his role as a villain. He has a mix of cool, melancholic, kind, and chic look that make me cannot take my eyes from watching him. As Ryu Si-O, obviously, he won’t get Gang Nam-Soon. His role may even be dead at the end of this series. But his acting will leave a long impression and he will get lots of sympathy from the viewers. I am rooting on him now and will follow his career. Fighting!

Abby Nov 06 2023 3:19 am Honestly this drama had me I love the plot of the drama , I like the way nam soon portrayed her character as someone who doesn't allow anyone be little her with or without the powers, strong woman bong soon had it's own plot twist it was okay but I would pick strong girl nam soon ,moreover nam soon as chemistry with the to male leads the( villain and hero) It's an interesting drama anyone can watch unless you don't like the genre of the drama

Why he is not cast as male lead Nov 05 2023 8:44 pm Byeon Woo Seok is incredibly acting as villain in this series and I liked his voice with bass..to top it all, his beauty and handsome personality is just unfathomable and can’t take eyes off him. I just wonder why can’t they cast him as male lead in the next venture of same genre of drama. He has this fantastic aura and undeniably outstanding charisma…can’t explain more than this.

Rc137 Nov 05 2023 8:26 pm I like this version of “strong woman”. It’s so well written. It’s a crime mystery where Nam Soon is the main heroine. She is so quirky and funny. Of course, there are scenes with other characters. It’s a complete story, not just about Nam Soon. Of course, they will catch the bad guy and Nam Soon will date/marry the detective at the end of the drama. Have to wait a week for the next episode …………

Rc137 Nov 05 2023 5:57 pm Ha ha, anybody could guess that was Nam Soon (in “disguise). Who else would jump out of a window?

Typical Nam Soon. ???

seokjinie Nov 05 2023 8:26 am sad to say but this never lived up to the hype of strong girl bong soon, i know it's different but to follow up the og drama is really impossible, i am still watching this bec it's already in the middle, hoping for a good ending

winnie Nov 05 2023 1:06 am Watched ep 9.

Can anybody/parent (Gang Nam-soon's mother Hwang Geum-Ju) forgive a murderer/killer/person (Ri Hwa-Ja / Lee Myung-Hee)) who is hurting her own kid and willing to accept that murderer/killer as her own kid too regardless of that murderer/killer/person repenting and atoning for his/her wrongdoings?

mae Nov 05 2023 12:27 am The main characters are not likeable at all, there are so many unnecessary filler scenes that are just boring and cringy. The comedy aspect is so bad and absurd that it's not even funny. They should have sticked with the uniqueness of Strong Woman Do Bong Soon.

gado Nov 04 2023 8:07 pm I started to skip scenes without Gang Nam-Soon after the 5th episode and now I'm in the middle of the 8th episode and it's looks like I'm going to be skipping this drama. Overall, it's pretty boring and the way Gang Nam-Soon talks/acts is starting to get annoying. (not funny at all)

Brooklynienne Nov 03 2023 7:42 pm Below, someone said, "This show is for kids." It's me. I'm kids.

Min Nov 01 2023 1:44 pm @rc137 the watch from the police is only there to be a throwback to the one in Bong-soon. Its silly here no doubt with the level of technology they should have.

Paimsi Oct 31 2023 11:57 pm This show is for kids

Miaca Oct 31 2023 10:05 pm I love strong Girl nam soon , i want to watch all of the episode but I'm still waiting for the next episode 9 ,,, I love nam soon and hee sik loveteam i hope they can have Drama or Movies Together after this Drama Series... Actually i hate Supernatural GenRe ,but i love Strong woman do bong soon and Strong Girl Nam soon... Im Really Excited

Rc137 Oct 31 2023 5:21 pm Love this drama. Nam Soon is so goofy. Love her personality. Lee Yoo Mi is perfect as the female lead. The ghost disguise was so funny. :)

rc137 Oct 31 2023 4:58 pm Should have the camera in a pin on her clothing or in the fake glasses. Holding up her arm like that looks weird and could look suspicious.

Rc137 Oct 31 2023 11:35 am Don’t forget to turn it off when go to the bathroom…..LMAO

Joy Oct 30 2023 9:21 am I enjoyed watching this a lot. While watching ep8, I just realized that the FL looked familiar, and thought that she was one of the cast in All of us are dead and squid game. Wow it took me up to ep8 before i recognized her. Her acting is outstanding. She always play her character so well in every drama/movie that she’s in. She even won an Emmy award. I always have a good laugh watching this kdrama. All the casts are great. I love the first season ‘Strong Girl Bong-Soon’ but I love this one even more!

Sky Oct 30 2023 3:49 am The villain has pretty face and manly at the same time

philippinefanboy Oct 30 2023 3:39 am So far I'm enjoying the drama! For me, it's actually well-written and directed. While I understand the demand for more Nam Soon and Hee Sik scenes, I don't get why viewers are complaining about the other scenes especially the grandma one. It's actually a great comedic break for the heavy side of the story. I also actually love how Nam Soon's story, while being cheeky and fun, is geared towards into the action direction. Overall, so far, I'm satisfied with how the story goes.

seonhohada Oct 29 2023 3:04 pm I understand why some people questioned Nam Soon being stubborn, never listens to Hee Sik and always doing things on her own way. I think that is how Nam Soon's character should be portrayed (naive, cheeky, being too brave & kind) and Lee Yoo Mi did great. Strong Girl Do Bong Soon should not be compared with this kdrama, both are very different, the only same things are their superpower and how they are blood related. But I would agree about how they should focus more on Nam Soon and Hee Sik. The scenes involving grandma and her boyfriend sometimes look a bit too much. Unless there will be another shocking story will be revealed later like her boyfriend is actually part of Doogo. Hopefully the second half of this kdrama will get better.

Jo Oct 29 2023 11:24 am I think they should focus more on Nam Soon and Hee Sik. Just sayin

Gb Oct 29 2023 8:54 am I think for me the drama is not that bad still have some good scene. It's just not good as the first one also the female lead is not good enough for her role here . she act too much like moving her head so much which is kind of irritating. Her facial expression is just not good. I don't know but it looks like shes not good here. She act better in AOUAD.

B Oct 29 2023 8:52 am Will Ryu Sio be somehow connected to Kang Heesik's dead big brother?

WL Oct 28 2023 9:00 pm Watched Ep 7.

I can understand the female lead (Nam-soon) is naive as she was raised in Mongolia. Nevertheless, she should heed the advice of Detective Kang Hee-sik.

After Ryu Si-o tests her power in Ep 7, hereafter, hopefully, she will exercise more caution against Ryu Si-O and anyone making offers to her, as she can't always behave 'arrogant', as it is alright to be proud of one's superpower.

Star Oct 26 2023 8:31 am The acting and script is excellent of u are following the story. The actors have a very good chemistry. Their acting is excellent

Viewer. Oct 25 2023 6:17 pm Started well but seems to be going down hill. Agree with everyone that episode 6 was bad. Hopefully it will improve. Grandmothers romance I can do without but can put up with it but need to tone it down a bit (actually meant not so st$%d).

Worst thing is that st&(&*d writer/s wrote in how people are eating like pigs. The Fake's gang are eating like pigs and as if they just took asylum in the south. The brother is depicted as a gentle person but they definitely need to write or direct better so viewers are not puking when watching the show. Food spewing out of his mouth when chewing and talking. F%#@ing disgusting. I fast forwarded when his eating scene comes out. I think they St##$%d writers are over doing it. It really is not f(#$ing funny.

Also the male member have depicted as getting the wrong end of the gene pool. In the original version which I liked, the brother was a MD. Do not have to be the same but not in the minus pool. The uncle scenes are bad which is the same the as the twin brother scenes.

Rc137 Oct 25 2023 5:08 am The first Strong Woman was a silly love story. This one is a crime thriller. So of course, it’s going to be different. Everything is Not going to revolve around Nam Soon. Nam Soon is not the only character. If you wanted the drama to be like the first one, best you stop watching this series. This drama is a 10/10 for me.

Lee Oct 23 2023 10:07 pm 6 episodes out. it was alright some are funny some are ok. some scenes are good some are not so good. after watching all 6 episodes i realize this version of strong girl nam soon is not the worthy sequel of the 1st season. all of the characters in here are over and exaggerated.

Guys in the strong family in the previous season are supposed to be normal while the girls are strong but in this version the guys are downright weak to the point of being sick and can't even walk without their strong mothers geez. why did they make it like that?

i still like the first season better. its more realistic and more funny and less with the nonsense plot.

karen Oct 23 2023 7:40 pm mom has more scene than ML.....should focus more on FL and ML

Minim Oct 23 2023 1:00 pm Yo Nam-soon is only 22 in Korea so 21. The Doogo guy is ten years older??

winnie Oct 22 2023 6:45 pm Watched ep 6; I was disappointed, certain character(s) speak in Korean, and other times in English. I can understand the female lead speaks in English as she was raised in Mongolia and is not fluent in English.

The female lead's long hair is more pleasant.

Enorcsi Oct 22 2023 6:27 pm It feels more like the FL is the mom. She gets way more focus than the title character Nam-Soon, which is unfortunate because her plastic look makes me uncomfortable. I also don't care for grandma's romance. The Nam-Soon and the cop scenes are cute.

CookieDough Oct 22 2023 6:23 pm Its so mind numbingly boring. I didn't expect it to be great but I also didn't think it was going to be so skippable, and the comedy aspect is just not landing. Sad. The actors and the production value is fantastic and full of potential, maybe the next few episodes will be better.

Neednicehair Oct 22 2023 5:19 pm I agree with LemonedIce. Nam-soon deserves a nicer hair cut/style. Her hair looks like has been chopped without further styling. She is a child of real rich family, she should looks more stylist. Come on director!

Helmi Oct 22 2023 3:19 pm It's ridiculous but I can't stop watching!!! LOL

Ss123 Oct 22 2023 2:44 pm I wish they would focus less on the mums character tbh and more on nam soon. Drama is starting to get boring :( i’ll still try watch though

Jaz Oct 22 2023 1:37 pm This series is my stress reliever ? serve its purpose as comedy drama. Ong Seungwu is doing his great job as police officer. His visual is ❤️ ??

DoramasMp4 Oct 22 2023 10:09 am I'm not satisfied with the storyline of this Kdrama. I think it's a childish series :(

Nara Oct 22 2023 4:57 am This is so childish series, every scene is like I'm watching a cartoon series. The FL plays her role like a spoiled child, not worried about consequences of her actions at all. The ML is incapable without her help and why does a detective needs the help of a young girl to uncover the biggest drug organization LOL. The scene where FL caries him was hilarious and so unmanly scene for ML. Same scene from S1 but this time it anoyeses me because of the young age of her caracter and he's character is like an experienced detective... The mother is too scary, her staring gives me creeps every time and don't like the scenes where she rides her bike with full open jacket and her chest uncovered, but the stunt is fully covered as it should be on action scenes... I feel like I'm watching Powerpuff Girls drama. 3/5 show it's too childish for me and I'm 25...

Ekho Oct 20 2023 12:19 pm Why did she cut her hair though? She looked adorable with the long hair and the braids...

Gine Oct 19 2023 9:00 pm It's entertaining though some scenes are like cartoonish effect like those japanese style with some comedy. Nam son suits as FL though she's not pretty but shes okay like a little cute. This will change the stereotype of FL beauty standard but she suits the character like bong son.

Min Oct 19 2023 1:39 am I'm suspecting the Barista grampa and the brother

Abiola Oct 18 2023 4:22 pm Am I the only one thinking these self-acclaimed vagrants, especially the guy aren't what they say they are, or am I just overthinking it?

Rc137 Oct 18 2023 9:17 am Love Gang NamSoon’s character. She is like Dora from Disney movie “Dora and the Lost City of Gold”, except funnier. Perfect casting. Gang NamSoon is portrayed by Lee YooMi.

SW Oct 18 2023 2:49 am Kang Hee sik is so uncomplicated and simple it's actually refreshing.

Pamzit Oct 18 2023 1:20 am Nam-Soon is a miscast, she's annoying.

Norway watchman Oct 17 2023 5:03 pm I love this series. I like how all three generations of women in the same family using their super strength to fight against the evil in society..especially i liked the characterization of Hwang Geum-Ju..she riding the bike with style is charismatic and adding more power to the role.

I am wondering how the villain ryu si o got super strength..is he born with super strength or is he taking some weird med. not sure on that part…I liked how the story is unfolding and adding suspense thriller to every episode. Kudos the villain ryu si o…the actor playing the role is super hot. Lol. Just my two cents worth.

Guest Oct 16 2023 10:24 pm I really like the scenes shot in Mongolia, her simple life and sincere love with adoptive parents. I don't understand why her mother throwing money left and right and saying that it is Korean capitalism. Overall like the plot and actors, she looked very cute with long hair and braids.

Drac Miraculous Oct 16 2023 5:08 am I watched the preview of ep 5 and I greatly fear that Ryu Shi Oh also has superpowers and worse, he might even be stronger than Nam Soon!

Steffanie Oct 16 2023 3:20 am Thank You --- for not letting it reach 12-16 episodes before long lost families reunite. I find that tiring and cliché.

Btw, isn't Jisoo's cop character In Guk Doo transferred to Gangnam? Is he gonna show up somewhere, or at least mentioned? I think they made Kang Hee Sik's personality similar to In Guk Doo.

Thank you for the special appearance of Do Bong Soon, An Min Hyuk, and Oh Dol Byung (Kim Won Hae)'s triplet. Lol! I Love It!!!

Doremi Oct 16 2023 12:36 am Omyyy, song yuvin is acting in this drama

Shashal Oct 15 2023 11:12 pm Why the secretary's name should be Kim Nam Gil ???????

Master nim Oct 15 2023 10:56 pm One seung woo is my favorite out of all in this series..I will watch just for him..

Did anyone notice in preview of 5th episode..ryu si-o is strong like nam soon ..he just hit a blow…I wonder how he got that super strength….does his family members are strong and only men born with super strength?

Mbokne Sapi Oct 15 2023 4:15 pm The first time i saw Hwang Geum Ju (Nam Soon's mom) i thought she was Jeon Soo Kyeong, but the role is played by Kim Jung Eun. They look similar for me, did anyone notice that too?

Now in 6 ep i really see Jeon Soo Kyeong as Kang Hee Sik's mom (Mrs. oh , i don't see her name in the casts here) and i laugh so hard to see her again, especially when she say that Geum Ju is older than her LOL (JSK is 9 years old older than KJE)

Both of them are cool, tall, pretty, cute, and good actress.. some may say that they have long face but thats fine, i enjoy to watch them in K-Drama + Movies

winnie Oct 15 2023 12:30 am I hope:

-the fake Gang Nam-Soon be punished, and

-Testseg/Gang Nam-Soon will also suggest to her parents (her mother) to set up a Shelter Centre for the homeless, in addition to fighting the drug case.

I think the boss of the drug research center could be Ryu Si-O, because he is 'creepy'.

Mais Oct 15 2023 12:04 am It's more like the sequel of moving lmao

WannaOne Oct 14 2023 11:00 pm Why'd they have to get rid of her long silky hair!? She looks so gorgeous with it. That bobcut doesn't fit at her at all!!

Afebry Oct 14 2023 10:01 pm In ep 3, Do Bong Soon apear.. Do Bong Soon from Do Bong Gang Nam Soon from Gangnam.

Dobong Oct 14 2023 1:03 pm I hope there is a sequel to the three bongsoon twins

CH Oct 14 2023 11:39 am I was very skeptical about this one, but so far I love it. It is funny and a bit over the top and there is not a single boring moment. Lately I find some kdramas to be rather slow, and specially comedies have a lot of issues with bad editing. But not this one. The acting is great. It is Korean comedy style of acting, like it or not. I prefer it to American, British, Spanish and other styles of acting... but that is just my preference. The Mongolian episodes are very beautiful. Only thing I do not like are the opening credits. They look cheap and ugly.

TDS Oct 14 2023 11:31 am OMG the character Kang Hee-Sik is a ass, why did you leaver Nam Soo alone??

NM Oct 13 2023 6:14 am @me It's not like Bong-soon wasn't enjoying beating people with her power, even innocent ones, and she did for selfish gain or anger problems sometimes so it's more about how the person provoked her first/had bad intentions because thats the only clause that explained why Bong-soon didn't lose her power many times either. The Mongolian strength competition also wasn't for money or fame but the one hosted by the mom in Korea for the prize money would have caused her to lose her power and how they should have spotted the fake Nam-soon. Also yeah extra superpowers are weirding me out. I can buy the vision might be from her stay in Mongolian as many have theories that her adoptive parents have supereyesight because of the vastness of the land but those powers were never supposed to be there, just superstrength and definitely not plane stopping crazy. Not to mention they're supposed to be cousins and that itself is confusing. Does Bong-soon feel the power too?

jol Oct 13 2023 4:54 am all the extra power and the edits is hella weird… why they make it this way tho.. i was so excited to watch this?

Rachelle Oct 13 2023 4:21 am I'm waiting for my Bongbong and Minmin couple? anyway, i really love this kind of k-drama. Fantasy romcom❤

Mic_mic Oct 13 2023 4:13 am Love watching this..So cool.. Watching with my kids..they love to watch it..we are excited for the next episode

momo Oct 13 2023 3:02 am The lead actress is super good, no wonder she got an emmy award. My mom watch K-drama for the first time , she really enjoyed the first 2 episodes. Waiting patiently for the rest of the episodes. ❤️

Anon Oct 12 2023 9:42 am @Me He was probably a bad manor because it's some traditional wrestling it wasn't about gain and it's not like Bongsoon didn't beat up lots of people since childhood. Even if what she did to the gangsters was personal justice she deliberately went overboard in episode 1 and she loved every second of the torture she meted those gangsters. And forget them gangsters she broke a man's tailbone for a comedic interview, even if it was Minhyuk's orders because she did it for the job shouldn't it have backfired? The rule in the book was about doing evil more than just selfish gain- the ancestor's personal gain was about being evil to common innocent people and we saw Bongsoon's mom not just cheating in worldwide competitions as someone aware of her powers and that she was cheating but also bullying boys and exploiting them. Plus Namsoon's being an innocent child might have played into it aside from maybe it being for her poor Mongolian parents so it didn't count or something. The extra powers are seriously too extra and overpowered and breaking the established world we knew of. The eyesight maybe they'll explain as something she got from living in Mongolia(since her Mongolian parents had crazy eyesight too). The three generation connection is new but acceptable because Bongsoon's mother and grandmother were supposed to have lost their powers so they couldn't have synced with Bongsoon. Their beings cousins is still mystery because then it would mean they are cousins from the grandmothers being sisters or something except every generation in their family is shown only as a sister-brother twin.

Ian Oct 11 2023 8:05 pm I'm only watching this since this is a spin ofssf of SGDBS and this headlines my fave OG actress Kim Jung Eun?

Me Oct 11 2023 7:33 pm I wasn't done... Namsoons powers should be gone. It seems like the ruls have change all of a sudden. Now it could be that since I didn't finish SWDBS mebbe something was explained that I missed if so please someone let me know and I will recind my argument. But I like consistency!!!! Don't take liberties with the story you already set up please!

ME Oct 11 2023 7:31 pm While I am enjoying this drama thus far...it seems like they are taking liberties with the source material. Please understand I know this is a spin off, but the ladies of this family abilities are already set up in SWDBS sooo...why are liberties being taken?. The magic connection between the three ladies? Was that in the original? Extra super powers? Not in the original. All of this I can ignore but the fight in the 1st episode in Mongolia I cannot. In the original the book said: "you could not use your strength for selfish gain, ooooor you would lose your strength and have spots on your face" Namsoon was definitely misusing her strength Aaaaaaaand humiliating that poor man. So she shouldn't have her powers anymore.

K Oct 11 2023 10:58 am Watched episode 1 and 2. So far the story is going smoothly and it's kinda predictable who's who and what's going to happen next. I laughed at the scene where nam soon started building her tent at the park, I mean from her character's perspective it make sense and at that situation you gotta do what you need to do. Girl it's tough out there, it's nice to see her using super power and exposing it in public lmao haha I enjoy the idea and creativity of it, although in reality it will get you in trouble and that's what's happening to her. I'm looking forward to the dynamics of the 3 women generation working together, I think that's gonna be the strong point of this series for me, also a little side romance at the side. The 2 main characters look good together and they're cute and sweet. I also like how they are slowly showing little snippets of the main villain, it's such a tease lmao. The ending scene of him holding what seems like a long cotton bud about to clean his ear, cracked me up. Please don't bash me for saying that! I just find it funny lol

mia Oct 11 2023 4:05 am Though the scenes went overboared but on whole ,the ep1&2 are super funny and intersting ,butt he action is not upto the mark ... mainly the female lead.

Notconvinced Oct 10 2023 11:50 pm I am not sure why she’s chosen as the lead for this show. She feels more like a strong supporting character instead of female lead material. I’ll watch anyway bec I can’t abandon what I already started T_T

Sam Oct 10 2023 10:20 pm

sigh* from the trailer alone I could tell this was going to be bad and after watching the first 2 eps, I stand corrected. Was super bored and decided to watch even tho I said I wouldn’t and I regret it. Already so many things I don’t like. That first ep was all over the place, the leads have Zero chemistry and their acting is beyond awkward. And just everyone feels so badly casted for this. I hate that they’re just re creating so many of the scenes from the original like WonHae’s character losing his teeth, the police going under cover dressed as a woman and her carrying him on his arms while running. The original was obviously silly but this is just pure cringe. Like what the hell was that with throwing the bell all the way from Mongolia and hitting the lead with it in Korea?!? Bruuuhhh.. I think I’ll rewatch the original to cleanse my soul and my eyes. Those saying this spin off is better y’all need help.

Cherryluv Oct 10 2023 8:09 pm ,?super power..... short song when nam soon did incredible action, for me is so annoying,???

Kiara Oct 10 2023 1:25 pm Strong woman bong Soon is best..it is cream of crop..no other season can beat that …it gained its popularity because of the strong plot line..hope this series maintain the same and thrive on the success of previous season.

I like ong seong wu..he is cute person in reality..I sincerely hope he taste success with this one. He deserves it.

gwiyomi Oct 10 2023 8:36 am tbh i didn’t watch season1 i couldn’t even finish their 1st episode but this season i really like it. not cringe, but still cute. also with the villain here i think it has really interesting plot

Mackerel mackerel Oct 10 2023 2:03 am After watching two episodes of season 2 strong girl, I wish they would have not chosen this strong girl concept and rely on the fame of season1.. season 1 series was much memorable for its brilliant direction, cast and exciting plot of cute romcom thriller ..the season 2 lack depth and no engaging storyline..I am baffled by how both seasons are written by same screen writer but have totally different flavor. My intuition says is not going to work for season2 although they retained the same theme of strong girl concept.. If at least they made efforts to cast Bong soon and min hyuk and extended their story like what after happened after their marriage..how they resolved crimes in neighborhood..it would have been lot more interesting. It’s just how I wish only. No hard feelings for fans of this series.

Sameer Rathore Oct 09 2023 12:57 pm This one is better than its predecessor as here the story is somewhat serious and going on a flow while the previous one had too much of forced comedy in a comic style without any concrete story hence it wasn't serious and I didn't feel any emotions and moreover the editing was so choppy that I felt dizzy and nauseated but this version is so far so good.

Mais Oct 09 2023 6:15 am For me this season is better. Season 1 was boring coz romcom is not my cup of tea. Unlike this season there's a flow of story. I hope the remaining episodes won't be plain romance huhu

Demi Oct 09 2023 5:26 am Ahjussi just lost his tooth again lol

Deitra Oct 09 2023 5:21 am I watched the first series “Strong Girl Bong Soon” it was awhile ago and I haven’t rewatched so I only kind of recall it. It wasn’t my favourite series, it wasn’t bad I just kind of liked it. Therefore I’m not bias towards this new series like a lot of people seem to be. I like this new series Nam Soon is resourceful and adorable, plus I love the dynamic between her and the detective. Even if you watched the first one I say watch this one too, give it a chance and try not to compare it to “Strong Girl Bong Soon”

Lee Oct 09 2023 3:00 am I agree. something is not good with this drama. i find myself pressing the skip button just so i can go to the good parts. to be honest, this version is not good as the first one. I'm missing the vibes of the bong-soon. much more realistic than this. its tooooo much. trying hard to be funny but its not funny at all.

i dont like any of the characters in here. too bad.

Esin Oct 09 2023 2:16 am After watchinh "moving" and "I am nobody" which are both awesome❤❤. I am liking this drama and cant wait for next episodes

RAKW Oct 09 2023 12:06 am If the producers, writer, and director are trying to make a spoof of the 2017 classic then they are succeeding. If they are trying to make a serious continuation of the original, this attempt is a sham and an insult to the viewers who loved Bong-soon. The acting is exaggerated and overdone. The mother is either the stupidest person in the world or the actress is attempting a comeback and is failing. While Bong-Soon was warm, touching, and funny in a mature way, this version belongs on cartoon network and I think even kids would walk away from it. So much anticipation - so much disappointment. There are so many better productions from Korea and China. Isn't your time valuable?

Guni Oct 08 2023 11:18 pm I dont just like the female lead. I dont like her vibes and her face though she just looks okay but I just dont like her. Just watched ep.1 but sorry I prefer the original cast. They just put new casts and really trying hard to copy the vibes of the original casts which is not good. No originality of the story at all. Will not continue to watch this period.

Kimchi Oct 08 2023 10:31 pm I know it's confirmed that BongSoon and MinHyuk will have a cameo but I can't waiiitt.. I just miss them.. lol but I need to focus on the story . . . Oh well

Steffanie Oct 08 2023 4:48 pm It was great to see Kim Won Hae making a cameo. Too bad he didn't play either 1 of his previouse characters. It would have been really funny if he did.

I hope to see Bong Soon, Min Hyuk, cop Jisoo, Secretary Gong, and Baek Tak make a cameo as well. It Would Be So Awesome!!!

I like how the story is going so far. The cast seems great as well. I just hope the ML, Ong Seong Wu would improve a bit. I am not sure how to describe it. His screen presence isn't strong, or memorable.

GreatWD Oct 08 2023 1:06 pm Great drama strong women, yes the world needs more all around the world.

p7 Oct 08 2023 11:27 am lee yoo mi hwaiting !!!

A Oct 08 2023 10:46 am This is just korean batman, rich people with savior kink, and the script like the uncanny encounter type. But still 2 early 2 drop it

Kiara Oct 08 2023 3:29 am @esther, lol now I think about it too, how they will explain the bloodline between Nam Soon and Bing Soon because their grandmother is different person and their families always have twin with two different gender.

Jk Oct 07 2023 5:50 pm Why does ong seung wu also have the same surname kang could there be a possibility of him and Lee yoomi being related

Aria Oct 07 2023 5:19 pm Loved Kim Won Hae in the first series, he was a scene stealer there. Was happy to see him here, it's a shame it was only a cameo. Kim JungEun is a bit frightening, her staring gives me nightmares, liked her in MDW. I'm sad that Byeon Woo Seok is not the ML but the bad guy, a rising star! Don't like that much FL to be honest, her expresions are always to childish on other shows as well.1st episode it was okay, not great but maybe bcz expectations are high comparing with previous series.

Banyeol Oct 07 2023 4:26 pm I thought the male lead is byeon woo seok Isnt ?!!!!!!!! Because i just lil bit confused who is the male lead on the first episode , like Byeon woo seok is too perfect to become the second lead, but also ong seong wu also perfect match to nam soon, or is this drama just like do bong song ? The richh rich man the ceo is main lead and the police is second lead ? ?? why they make it is so hard to choose which one is deserved to be loved ??!! ?

Aimen Oct 07 2023 2:30 pm A solid Solid start....I love it sm...♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

Strong Fan View-er Oct 07 2023 1:08 pm This show is so absurd that it’s good! It’s like so cheese but done right! Love it!

Kim Oct 07 2023 1:00 pm I hope they will have Do Bong Soon (Park Bo Young) or her twin children appear as a cameo in the drama, that would be nice.

Der Oct 07 2023 11:19 am Just finished episode 1, so good so far!!! Lee Yoomi is super gorgeous and cute! So far I am loving the cast! Can’t wait for episode 2!

Débora Ceia Oct 06 2023 8:28 am It will be aired tomorrow at Netflix

Esther Oct 01 2023 9:45 pm How are they going to explain this because do bong soon’s mother only had brothers, so this needs to be the grandmothers sisters, daughter and granddaughter

Mirna Barriga Sep 22 2023 5:03 pm I am looking forward to this series. I see it starts October 7, 2023 but I don’t see where it will show. Can you please let me know so I can put it on my calendar? Thank you.

Henry Sep 07 2023 5:56 am Ah, shit.... Here we go

Shairli Sep 01 2023 12:28 pm Hope it can match or at par with SWDBS. Byeon Woo Seok, pls start taking lead.

Mao Sep 01 2023 3:15 am Strong Woman Do Bong-soon was very popular and loved by many (including me), so the pressure for this drama to be good and to take a good twist from the original will be high.

Miya Aug 16 2023 6:47 am Another strong woman Do bong soon.

?? Jul 21 2023 12:23 pm Maybe this will be aired on October 7 2023. After King The Land, Behind Your Touch will be shown in JTBC. And then Strong Girl Kang Nam Soon's turn. Since it's just the rumor, I don't know exactly about the released date.

NN Jul 20 2023 3:58 am Does anyone know when the show will be aired? it's almost July 2023 and there is no news about this. This is my most awaited K-drama in 2023 since I heard it will be led by Lee Yoo Mi and Ong Seong Woo. Anyone knows any update?

Mia Jun 22 2023 4:31 pm Wow. I hope this is not going to be like full house 2.

Jessica Jun 01 2023 6:00 am I'm so excited about this project as well as nervous because of Seong Wu who enlist last April! But I want Hyung Sik and Bo Young should be the main lead in this drama not only a cameo ? we need update!! ?

JaneThisIsForU May 02 2023 9:41 am

Jane*?? Your reading comprehension must be low or you didm't read the title. You can't understand what the title is? "Strong Girl Namsoon"? means she and her family are also gifted with super strength by the god on their verse...Remember where they got that power, it's their ancestors helping someone that's why...So just think that Bongsoon's family is not the only gifted one but there are also others.

PS. Don't worry, Bongbong and Minmin might have a cameo in thus drama because... just like what I said!! They're on the Same Verse hahaha

Jane Apr 23 2023 3:41 am Park bo young and park hyung shik should be main leads in the drama. strong woman bong soon was the best with these two actors

Jane Apr 23 2023 3:40 am I want park Bo young and park hyung-shik to have main leads

Sho Mar 30 2023 10:55 am I think seong wu will play this role perfectly, looking forward

seokjinie Mar 29 2023 10:10 pm it was just announced that park hyung sik and park bo young will have a cameo as a married couple so excited

whykay91 Mar 16 2023 8:02 am I'm getting worried now..... Seong Wu announced that he is starting his military service sometime in April. There is still no news about this show. Does anyone know what's happening to it? It's one of my most anticipated shows for 2023 so far.

Steffanie Feb 06 2023 4:35 pm Is this a sequel to Strong Girl Do Bong Soon? Hope the original cast would make some sort of cameo.

DARSONO Jan 10 2023 6:20 pm Stop arguing somthing trivial , just enjoy the show ..

Anyway i came for Kim Jung-Eun , i like her act since Dangerous Wife , and later realize that she was the same woman that play in Love in paris .. wawww i getting old already :)

ChachaMR Dec 12 2022 1:44 pm cant wait to see Ong Seong wu again in kdrama,cant get over with him right after i watched More than Friends..cant wait for his new upcoming drama! goodluck Our Onge??

Lover of Park hyung sik Nov 25 2022 6:47 am Byeon woo seok deserves to be the main lead and not second lead ...After 20th century girl we all know how good he is at acting

Alice Oct 31 2022 4:21 am Those who complain about Byeon Wooseok not being the male lead or not enough exposure, you don’t even know the plot yet. Pretty sure you are just trying to be toxic.

Bellat Oct 31 2022 1:46 am First of all I'm so full of excitement of this drama Second I don't really understand why people are being toxic just judging the male lead just for 2 sec Cameo of a movie don't forget that the director choose him and if you like your boy and want to cheer him be proud and root for him the villain role is an amazing role too I don't really know what you want about being ml but Don't ever cross the line and cheer your boy away from my favorite actor ONG SEONG WU a talented boy and have a passion about acting and I'm being so proud however his role being because he will do it perfectly without judging and that what makes the actor growing step by step And if you don't believe me go watch his amazing extraordinary movies and dramas and still go on

Meymey Oct 30 2022 6:38 pm Haha, so funny, people protesting about the male lead ? who are you? The Director? The judge? No.. you are no body to judge who’s suitable to be male lead?

“That guy” even were nominated at Baeksang and Grand Bell Awards. Did your man get that? NOO haha so funny?

Just because the 20th century girl film, you’re being blinded to see what the truths are?? Ofcourse Ong Seongwu deserve more to be male lead, from face, acting skills, and the Director chose him!

Romi Oct 27 2022 5:26 am People protesting who is the male lead need to sit and buckle up coz you kno what no matter what you are rambling on, ong seongwu is the male lead.... go depressed

Jerry Cancio Oct 25 2022 10:23 am I’m so excited to watch it… But i like more exposure of Byeon Woo Seok for this project.

chenluve Oct 24 2022 7:59 pm omggg ngl, kinda unhappy with the male lead,,, would much rather prefer byeon wooseok as the lead grrrrrrrrrr

mynameis- Oct 23 2022 10:16 am lol I just finished watching 20th century girl, as in just now, and saw this. seong-wu and woo-seok are siblings there and now they're here. hahaha. well, it's just nothing. I just noticed. haha

○ Aug 12 2022 3:36 pm Finally a kdrama where Lee Yoomi is playing the lead role!! About time the kdrama industry recognized her.

I've watched her movie 'Young Adult Matters' and let me say that she's definitely an underrated actress. She can play the annoying girl in All of Us are Dead, she can play the cool girl with a dark past in Squid Game and she can play the I'm depressed I'm cutting myself habit girl in Young Adult Matters.

She has played each roles perfectly in every single movie/series.

I'm solely gonna watch this drama for her. Not because this is a spin off of Strong Girl Bong Soon. ♡

raw meat Jun 19 2022 2:14 am but okay i will watch it anyway

raw meat Jun 19 2022 2:13 am I need do bong soon sequel … hmm not this spin off

서화연 Jun 12 2022 1:08 am Can't wait to see Charming Villain Byeon Woo Seok

Yoomi chukka Jun 10 2022 7:43 pm I'm glad Yoomi now gets the spotlight for being a female lead. I'm really a fan of Bong bong and Min Min, and I'm glad they now have a new season. Yoomi deserves this for she was great in All of us are dead as well as Squidgame, I think it's time for her to have a romance drama ^^ Congrats to all casts even to Seongwoo >< Fighting!! Will wait for this <3

bae Jun 06 2022 4:55 am the plot would've been more interesting if she's the daughter of bong soon, but okay lets wait and see

Rocky Jun 05 2022 2:04 pm It doesn't seem like a sequel, it's a spin off or a remake lol. I thought the female lead is the daughter of Bong Soon

Danayaa Jun 04 2022 6:04 am Seems like its a remake of dobongsoon the plot is not too pleasing though I'm so happy lee yoo mi gets spotlight to be a female lead. Fighting and hopefullyyyyy the ratings will soar due to popularity

Sehee May 31 2022 6:04 am Imma done I'm so excited but is there a hero

Bs May 30 2022 8:09 pm Super excited to see this drama,cant wait to enjoy it

PT May 29 2022 10:43 am How come Detective Kang Hee-Sik also becomes attracted to Kang Hee-Sik? LOL!

bibi May 29 2022 4:43 am Omg Ong Seongwoo as detective?? I'm absolutely excited for this one!!!

Daixi May 28 2022 8:57 pm Hope to see Park Bo Young making cameo appearance..

Anonymous May 28 2022 10:36 am Alaaaa

The female lead is not cute like Park Boyoungㅠㅠ

I also don't have the feel about the male leadㅠㅠ

But the mom and grandmother is my absolute fav!

heewoonim May 27 2022 11:28 pm Omgggggggggg. need bo young and hyunsik to make a cameo appearance

Singphiliau May 27 2022 1:48 pm Park Bo Young and Park Hyunsik should make cameo appearance atleast..hmmm

icy May 27 2022 1:08 pm but what's with the superpower family and police officers ?

icy May 27 2022 1:06 pm honestly if park boyoung and park hyunsik don't make a cameo at least what's the point of it all/j

Doremi May 27 2022 7:05 am Oh my!!! Finally Ong Seongwu at drama again!! Can't wait for this

pon May 27 2022 4:41 am OMG! cannot wait to watch hope to see some Do Bong Soon as a guest!

Binibining Guro May 27 2022 1:03 am So excited for Kim Jung Eun Unnie's comeback.
