Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

So I’ve watched this show about like 10 times! There’s some people who say that the story line was messy but I really don’t think so I think everything went together. The mix of the comedy and romance between the president and do bong soon is incredible and just so cute! The comedy is also very funny. The show is 10x more interesting cause of those little moments where do bong soon fights or has those moments that showcases her abilities. Tbh those moments make me swoon and I’m like I WANT TO BE HER! The ending had me crying and I was just like their so cool!!!

I love how there's romance yet its a thriller.

How the mother of the girl is.. She teases her daughter so much..
How the father is such a heartwarming person..

I love that she has an ambition of making her game.
I like their culture how when the guy drinks in front of father in law he hides with a hand and faces the other side and drinks..

Goofy, charming ML the reason I enjoyed this series

I watched Strong Woman Bong-soon in December 2023 after completing Strong Girl Nam-Soon in November 2023. Yes, I was late to the party.

What I liked:
1) Ahn Min Hyuk characterisation - I found him goofy & very charming. He had golden retriever persona. I like that he's cool with being labelled gay - seems like he is not homophobic. I also like that he wasn't intimidated by a physically strong woman. Role was played brilliantly by Park Hyung Sik.
2) The romance - I like how their relationship developed. They were boss-employee first then lovers. The Min Min scenes were excellent. Made me miss moments when I was flirting & giddy with excitement.
3) In Gook Doo - I also like his character and Kim Ji Soo. Serious cop who is oblivious to his best friend's crush on him.
4) Comedy - Comic relief mostly provided by Secretary Goo and the random gangster led by Kim Kwong Bok. I enjoyed those scenes though I found some scenes quite random.

What I disliked:
1) Childlike FL - In general, I don't like cute, childlike female leads especially when they are already past mid-20s. I don't like how Bong Soon was written as she didn't use her strength well as a bodyguard.
2) Too many in one series - This series cover various genres (thriller, fantasy, romance, comedy). While I enjoy romantic thriller, I found the slapstick comedy didn't gel well with the pverall storytelling.

Favourite scene
The Min Min scenes because it made me giddy!

My new favourite

I didn't think I could like any series more than "What's wrong with Secretary Kim?", but this story has taken its place in my heart. I watched the entire series over 36 or so hours and skipped less than 5 minutes of the story. This story revolves around romance, action, redemption and family and is uplifting and fun. I can't speak for my male counterparts, but as a woman who enjoys superhero stories this was a win win for me.

A few things to note:
1. If you dislike fantasy or are looking for realism this is obviously not the story for you. It's based on a woman with supernatural strength so don't expect it to be realistic.
2. You can see from the cover that there will be a love triangle. I despise love triangles, but here it was written in a way that I personally didn't mind. The female lead is sweet and caring and doesn't play with anybody's feelings and I wasn't left broken-hearted with her choice. It is a very satisfying happily ever after.
3. I don't know what the age restriction on this is, but because of the violence/gore I think it's definitely not meant for children.

With above three caveats in mind, get ready for your new favourite series!

Good story with fleshed out main characters and thoughtful comedy

I have watched this twice. Once by myself and once to show my husband. What I loved about this show: Park Bo-young and Park Hyun Sik's chemistry is stellar!! They light up the screen. Gut-busting comedy without the tired traps of putting down women or talking bad about the disabled or otherwise marginalized. The romance is cute (although it kind of materializes out of thin air). What I liked: Again, I love the chemistry the whole cast carries on. So the romance, including the second male lead romance, is worth it, but it doesn’t seem to have a starting point. I won't say more than that. What I hated: how eerily perfect the depiction of terror, abduction, and sexual abuse was (the actual sexual abuse isn’t shown). It made me uneasy, but it wasn't gratuitous. I could have done without the ashram bit because it felt like filler and took up a good bit of the end half. I would re-watch a 3rd time as well and probably will. It is one of my favorites.

Why was this drama my favourite of all time?

Personslly this drama really made me happy ! it seemed strange at first but by the end of episode 1 i was in love.

it's been 4 years since this show was released a nd it is still one of the best dramas. all my family enjoyed watching it too.

the cast picked were amazing and all had such great chemistry. the two leads looked amazing together and are, by far, one of the most amazing couples in any drama i have ever watched.

i enjoyed the crime element of this series but with the touch of comedy, it really hit the spot


(THIS IS WHERE SPOLIERS START)


personally the first episode was strange. but as it progressed it got more and more amazing. do bong-soon (park bo-young) is such an icon. like what is she? she strong, she's sassy and she's kind. the men who own the building site can go away, literally and physically (lol).


an min-hyuk (park hyung-sik) was an amazing cast to this show. a young ceo, who is incredibly smart and makes games? yes please.



the overall drama was on point. and was the best drama to have ever been made.

Sobre o drama, o que eu poderia dizer?

Foi um dorama divertido de se assistir, com várias cenas cômicas e com um clima bom.
Um dos seus defeitos é a comédia, que apesar de ser boa se perdeu algumas vezes, se tornando até um pouco desnecessária em alguns momentos, também houve umas contradições a respeito da força De Bong Soon (uma hora ela podia fazer algo com facilidade, outra hora ela ia fazer algo que aparentemente precisaria de menos esforço e ela parecia se esforçar ainda mais).
Apesar desses furos foi uma comédia romântica boa de se ver, com uma música que não sai da cabeça "garota superpoderosa..." ou com uma batidas que por algum motivo me lembrava a música Cheia de Manias do Raça Negra. Gostei muito do dorama, assistirei novamente ainda, aconselho!

My Review and Opinion?

Really worth it to rewatch again and again because it's really funny, it's full comedy from first episode until end! The ML suitable together and they are really cute!

The plot story is different from other and out from my mind. The producer team dares to present something that is anti-mainstream and that makes the audience want to watch it over and over again even though we already know the contents of the story. Good job for director, producer and of course the actors in this drama.

This story does not disappoint at all. A very good way of solving the story and having a happy ending🥰

First of all, I’ve heard a lot about this drama, mostly “Aww!! How cute this drama is!!” or “Aww!! look at the couple! How cute they are!!”. So naturally, I have had high expectation for this drama. Apparently, I found the drama and the lead couple as cute as most other romcom K-Dramas out there.

Secondly, I didn’t like much how the lead female character is portrayed. I have watched the “Don’t Click” movie and found Park Bo-Young’s acting pretty okay. So I guess it’s not her acting but the way she has been asked to portray the character is what I found a bit annoying. This is, of course, a personal judgment and I guess this exact fact has made many fall in love with Do bong soon.

Last but not the least, personally I am not a big fan of “Superhero” genre.

But I am crazy for Psychopath based stuff. That’s why I got hooked to this movie from the very beginning. Yes, not the cuteness of the drama or the fun part of superhero stuff but the psychopath based storyline makes me complete watching this drama in two sitting.

The opening is pretty awesome. Twist in almost every episodes and the build-up of the plot are simply amazing. I started having this feeling that it would be one of my most favorites. But No! When it comes to thriller, a perfect closure is a must which doesn’t occur in this drama apparently. The last two episodes literally disappointed me. I would like to explain why I felt so but then I would end up giving spoiler. Anyway, the story should have been ended in a much more sensible way. There are some other, though few, inconsistencies in the story.

Nonetheless, the overall storytelling is smooth. The comic stuff is okay. I loved how Park Hyung-sik portrayed both the ‘carefree’ CEO & the ‘one awestruck by the charm of the female lead’ in an equally amazing way. I have seen him in ‘High Society’ and I wonder if he is so natural in term of playing a chaebol role because he is actually a one. Apart from the leads, I did love Jang Mi-Kwan in the role of the psycho; he does justice to the character, specially his creepy smile.

As for the OSTs, usually, a new song, that can be an OST or a score, gets included in my playlist right after I am done with a K-drama which didn’t happen this time. I liked the ‘Heartbeat‘ OST though.

Overall, a pretty enjoyable drama if you can overlook those inconsistencies.

A classic to watch without worrying~

✨classic, very good, just watch this without worrying and the cast is so impressive! ❤️👍 (the villain psycho character is really horrific omg and do bong soon is an unforgettable character🥰) love the couple minmin&bongbong 👫😍 tbh i watched this for the couple more than the story (i don't really like the dark story that gives bad tones to the rom-com type of that drama) they have a great chemistry between them!

I see them more than a relation "actors only". That their roles aren't just roles to play and that's what I like about the cast in general. Its seen that they had fun and that they are close even irl✨(i know they aren't a real couple, but if it was, they would be so cute together ❤️❤️)

btw the story is mixed ... From thriller to rom-com like in a shojo ... I didn't like it too much but the character was worth it tbh 🤷‍♀️
