Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

This was the first drama I ever watched and have fallen in love with these stories since then. I love how such a heartwarming story can have a lot to give to its audience. From cute and cheesy moments to darker ones when you don't want to see the characters suffer. I think it's important to point out that this show has its fair share of creepy moments because it took me by surprise, nobody warned me about this.
The storyline was messy at some points and I'm not sure I liked the end, didn't make much sense for me. But overall, I enjoyed the main leads acting, they were so cute together and they are to blame for my unrealistic expectations regarding relationships.

I did not think that I would love the drama as much as I did...This drama's plot was very unique and was fun to watch though the gene included thriller...(but it made it interesting i promise). The female main main lead Do Bong Soon (played by Park Bo-Young) is one of those iconic characters that won't be forgotten. Bong Soon was fearless, EXTREMELY STRONG and had an adorable bubbly personality. The male main lead was very charming and sweet. Their chemistry together was out of this world as if they were a real couple!!! I loved how their acting became natural over time went on....definitely worth watching and would recommend.

I was waiting for the leading lady's comeback since oh my ghost. And though the beginning of this drama was a killer, the ending lost most of its charm and ended up a cheesy rom com. Thankfully, there was the serial killer case that at least kept it refreshing and interesting. Honestly, the main idea of a girl having the super power of strength kind of scared me off this drama, especially after having watched weight lifting fairy straight before it (felt like a rip off). However, I gave in and watched the first episode and I was immediately hooked. The girl was very cute, the guy funny, the second lead interesting and the serial killer case thrilling. That was until they became a couple. The drama shifted its attention from the girl's powers and quest of justice to the development of the romance. Okay, the couple was cute together, but some more twists on the criminal case would have been nice. One other thing that bothered me about this drama was the constant advertisements. Most of the dramas do it smoothly and some of them even hide them so good that you can't tell if they are promoting a product or not. But this one just had some unnecessary scenes simply for the purpose of advertising. If that had happened once or twice, it would have been tolerated, but there were scenes in most of the episodes. So, 6 out of 10.

um dos doramas que realmente me ganharam com uma certa facilidade,já gosto dos atores principais e isso ajudou para que eu gostasse positivamente do dorama,a conexão deles os olhares aquela cena deles finalmente se redendo de vez aos seus reais desejos,tudo que esse dorama aborta as escondidas ou as claras me faz ficar em êxtase,eu simplesmente acho esse doramas um dos melhores,gosto de romances na medidas e esse conseguiu me cativar de uma forma diferente,amo todos os doramas que essa mulher tá, coloquei minhas expectativas lá em cima e como eu esperava foi sensacional

REWATCHED FOR 3 TIMES IN A ROW?!

Hello!
This drama is one of the most famous drama from South Korea. I watched this drama back in 2017. I found out ''Park Hyung Sik'' from 'Hwarang' and eventually fell for him. Later discovered this drama, which was on air that time! Let me tell you straight if you haven't tried this yet! This is a MUST WATCH DRAMA if you're into the genres like 'rom-com, super power, fantasy, female power, suspense' etc. The drama gives you whole vibe and make you groove from the starting to the ending. We won't fall for the 2nd lead thankfully here. Don't even think, this is the continuation of 'weightlifting fairy', cause both the storylines are different and not even similar!!Yes, as you read from the title, I watched this on 2017, again on 2018, 2019 and now 2021! Still I would love to watch again. You won't regret! Just go for this drama. ALL THE BEST!

It has been quite a while when I first watched this drama. I recently finished rewatching this drama and I fell in love with it again.

I do not know where to begin this review. The plot line was easy going, simple but very touching. It was not really complicated or so, but what was very interesting was that it was about a strong woman. This time it is not the man who needs to protect his girl, but the girl who protect the man. There were some plotlines which were a bit boring but that was not really a problem. Nevertheless, to get to the main point of this review is their chemistry, Park Bo-Young and Park Hyung-Sik were so cute on screen. I just couldn't stop looking at them and videos about them because they are so cute.

I would definitely recommend this drama to everyone, you will definitely enjoy this drama.

I'm actually mad at how many people only watched one then two episodes and dropped. I was on my way to do that as well but I wanted to see how cute our leads were but their cuteness isn't the only thing that keep me in with time.

There's nothing dark about this drama. More meaningful. How could people have missed that completely? This drama is about women, not just Do Bong Soon born with a physical super strength. But women with their own strength and how society treats women in general.

-Her mom is that woman who'd only plan on marrying her daughter because she's a girl and she needs to bare children, to her that's her only role. That she gets hurt mentally or emotionally, that's not her problem.

- Her first crush is that guy who'd only like to be a macho to women so women will need him to be protected.

- The psycho and all these other gangsters are all these men who thinks women are their toys so they can do as they wish with them because they are the "weaker sxx".

- Her boyfriend is the guy who knows her woman is strong and loves her however she is. (Min Hyuk is the real one here.)

Are women not treated like that? Yes, her powers are super natural but it's to showcase that women are strong. And I think this is empowering, that's why i love this so much. And i can't believe people didn't see this, wow.

Watch it, right away!

LOVE IT. I love a strong female lead, and I love this.

I'm not a big fan of love triangles, so I was worried, but there was no need to worry AT ALL. The way the main character changes her affection from one guy to the next is so natural, and it makes so much sense. She's not all that hesitant about it either, just mostly confused at first, which I think is totally accurate.

Plus, I love the main actor! I had never heard of him before, but the two have great chemistry~ I spent a good bit of this giggling and squealing. There were parts where I cried too, but they were all worth it to get that amazing ending~

10/10 Strong Woman Do Bong Soon!

This was hands down my favorite kdrama thus far. It had funny parts, great editing, fun characters, thriller elements, crime fighting and great character growth for FL.

I loved the main leads and they did so well in their parts. Everything worked at a really good pace in the story.

I didn't want to watch this drama at first because the synopsis did not sound all that interesting but I did on a whim. I binged it in one night, staying up till 10am the next day to see the ending.

This drama definitely gave me a crush on Park Hyung-sik and Park Bo-Young. They were people that I would be friends with. I also loved the friend of the FL. They had a very sweet relationship where they supported each other. *start of rant* I cannot any longer watch dramas where the FL has no friends or support. Why. WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO WATCH THAT. *end of rant*

If you need something that will make you laugh and cry then this is it. It was awesome to see Do Bong grow into who she wanted to become. She was strong and kicked ass. I was so happy with the ending.

This is the first time I've actually rewatched a drama in its entirety, I usually don't do that and seek new dramas instead. I feel like it's rather because of the fact that I find this drama easily enjoyable and time-killing rather than it's a masterpiece.
Let me start with the fact that I'm probably one of the few who didn't think the story was a mess. The crime element, as in the kidnapping seemed solid to me as without this the main story would go nowhere since the three main characters wouldn't interact, at all. I feel like if this was totally a rom-com, it wouldn't be half as good as it was and Bong-soon's superpowers would be useless to the plot. I'll admit I don't know how to judge acting unless it's ridiculously bad, and this wasn't the case. Both Min-hyuk and Guk-du annoyed me at times but none of the actors are to blame. They did quite well with the material they had. Park Bo-young totally stole the show though (I wish they had given her some better clothes though, she looked lovely but her wardrobe was questionable). I couldn't imagine anyone else pulling the character of Bong-soon off the way she did. I must say I loved how the story went by really quick, at least to me it felt like the 16 episodes passed by in a blink of an eye. Now that we're done with the praises, let's move on to the negative aspects of the drama - there weren't that many as there could have been but no drama is perfect. Let me start with the fact that I tend to ignore the OST unless it's something I really enjoy (like the Goblin OST which I listen to this day) but with this drama, you couldn't because of how often they played it. I'm not saying the songs included were bad, but it would have been much better if they didn't play it every 5 seconds or so. Another negative aspect is the homophobic remarks. I'm not going to elaborate on that because everyone knows which moments I'm talking about but as I'm not straight I must say I was slightly disappointed that the writers did not realise that there is no need to be offensive to be funny. Another one is Bong-soon's mom and her unhealthy relationship with Bong-soon's father. I found it tiring to watch at times. There is also the completely unneccessary plot with the monk. I completely don't understand it, what was the point? Same goes for the relationship between Guk-du's ex and Bong-soon's brother. However this one made a lot more sense than the plotline with the monk did.
To sum it all up, it feels like I wrote more negative things that positive ones but nevertheless it was a good watch which I enjoyed so I'm leaving it with a solid rank. Would I recommend it? Not on the top of my recommendation list but it's worth your time if you're just starting to get into K-Dramas or if you have a lot of free time or if you're looking for something easily enjoyable.
