Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

Hilarious and touching ♥️

After a heavy drama, this one will certainly enlighten the mood for you.
I mean, the story isn't original but it it works very well. Little King Kong and the heroine, excuse me, little King Kong and the hero, were touching, charming, funny. Unlike most of the viewers, I've watched Happiness and come to know Park Hyung Shik and watched Doom at your service before this one, so the visuals of course for Park Hyung Shik it was like it was another actor he was serious loving caring in Happiness and here 😂 he was naturally hilarious, I loved both of his roles, for Park Bo young I preferred this one, superpower girl suits her better ♥️ It was that binge watchable drama that will remain in your comfort dramas type, It was a warm watch, Gamsamnida...

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

Unapologetically fun, lighthearted, downright comically nonsensical. The premise is pretty unique as you really don't see this type of setup all too often. Though some aspects such as the evil plotline and the "laugh at gay stuff" felt a bit iffy, to say the least. The slapstick comedy is wacky, chaotic, over the top yet makes sense here. The show is not meant to be taken too seriously--- which is weird because the overarching "big bad" plotline was oddly dark and unusually serious which leads to an odd viewing experience at times. I can't help but wonder how the show would fare if we subtract the darker bad guy storylines and downgrade it to a simple romantic comedy and toned down wacky hijinks.

The cast's chemistry is good, a bit unbalanced, but good nonetheless. The casting for the female lead was strangely perfect to be honest. The small-framed, petite, 5'2 Park Bo Young, is such a contrast to serve as the almighty strong woman, Do Bong Soon.

강한 여성? 어디?

나는 이 TV 시리즈를 꽤 많이 보는 것을 즐겼다! 나는 스릴 넘치는 순간을 사랑했지만 로맨스는 지루했습니다. 그녀는 그녀가 강할 때 남자를 위해 약한 작은 아기 일 필요가 없었습니다. 나는 그들이 판타지와 현실 생활의 측면을 혼합하는 것을 좋아하지 않지만 그들은 좋아합니다. 그녀는 멋진 인물일 수 있었지만 그들은 그녀를 무력한 소녀로 썼습니다. 얼마나 낭비! 나는 또한 남자들이 종종 그녀를 재산처럼 취급하는 것이 싫었다. 둘 다 너무 짜증났다. 내가 그녀처럼 강한 여자라면, 나는 그 남자들을 이길 것입니다.

Lembro-me que tinha visto essa série muito tempo antes de tê-la terminado, naquele momento havia parado no episódio quatro, praticamente tinha dropado. Voltando a ver comecei a me deixar me levar pelo seu conteúdo, comprei o show sem motivo como num estalar de dedos, e aos poucos fui gostando. Estranho e divertido, pensando desse jeito, via que a série era um amontoado de gêneros, uma bagunça que funcionava, com roteiro fraco que se apoiava na carisma de seus personagens e nas situações divertidíssimas apresentadas, talvez exagerando em muitos casos, se tornando cenas desnecessárias. Posso dizer, que no final de tudo Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, é uma série legal, que mesmo cheia de problemas, é divertida e carismática.

It’s funny

Humour is nice and drama is light hearted . I loved watching it as cast was quite nice and running is relatively less . Story was also nice and exciting. There was suspense that hold you up to complete whole drama . Casting and acting is quite applause able. . But still out of all points I gave above it was definitely humour that entertained the best. As it was the factor that makes it different from rest all Korean dramas .
That all I would like to say . It is must watch because watching female leads dominating the screen means a lot to female audience . Watching women taking all the things in their hands is definitely worth watching .

Funny, romantic, sweet, and with the right amount of action and danger

I think this series is one of my all time favorite K-Drama series, at least in top 3 or 5.
First time I watched it earlier in the year, and just recently re-watched it. It was fun to watch it again.

Park Bo Young's performance in this series is amazing, it is one of my favorite character in all the series I've watched, just about 80 series. It is also my favorite character from all the character that she performs. She's just so cute, sweet and funny, totally adorable. Yet when push comes to shove she can easily go into kick-ass mode.

The chemistry between her and Park Hyung Shik, the other main lead, is amazing. He acts the right character for this series, a guy that is just flabbergasted of her, just like anyone would be.

But I've rarely laughed so much and so deeply, the humor is over the top. The romance is strong and everything just seems to click perfectly together in this series.

Perfect series.

Worth noting, the soundtrack for this series is also my favorite soundtrack from all the series. There are many great tracks and I can easily listen to the whole album over and over.

A complete Package....

Actually, I'm not a RomCom lover unless I love the Lead Actors or it blends with crime story just like Strong woman. Parkk Bo-Young was one of my favorite Korean Actress coming from Oh my Ghost and Abyss, she is one of the best but I was surprise with Park Hyun-sik , I started to love him in this drama. His acting and visuals in this drama were level up. I love how the Writer pull of the series. Their love story blends well with the crime part in this series. Although, in the crime part, the Culprit doesn't really justify why he is committing the crime, I don't mind at all, Bong Bong and Minmin's love story was enough for me already plus the OST here was 10/10. I made it as my ringtone actually. This is why I love Kdrama over other series, aside from the lead actors, distinct stories, expensive productions and amazing cinematography, you can also look forward for the OST's.

Most hilarious Korean Series ever made!

This still tops my most hilarious korean series ever made. It is light, uberly hilarious and sweet too. I like how the lead male let do bong soon be herself and support her all the way. I specifically like the mob boss and his right hand's characters they really made the show intensively hilarious! I like the development of the love story. It was gradual and progressive. The lead actress was so perfect for the role. Sweet, innocent-looking and too fragile-looking. You will really have a hard time believing that she is super strong indeed! All the minor characters really popped out, they all contributed to the rolling-on-the-floor-laughter this show evokes. There was never a dull character in this show. Until now, i highly recommends this to my friends. Watch it and you will never regret it!

Strong Girl Bong Soon is a fun and alright drama. The decent cast carried this drama through its simple plot line. If it wasn't for the cast, I probably would've given this drama a miss. Nevertheless, I'm glad I gave it a go as it definitely had its good moments.

Characters/Acting:
I am all for the female heroine vibe, no damsel in distress drama. Bong-Soon's character and her powers only being used for good does send an overall good message. Park Bo-Young as Bong-Soon did an incredible job portraying a cute, tiny lady who no one would suspect to be so strong. Her emotional scenes were very good and her 'cute' acting was just that...very cute.

As for the lead guy, Park Hyung-sik, he did a good job portraying that young, cool, gamer CEO character vibe. Min-Hyuk as a character is never too serious and is actually funny at times and Hyung-sik did great acting out that comedic side of the character but still kept him very cool and CEO-like. Although he didn't have much emotional/serious scenes, when he did have them, he did them very well that it almost brought me to tears.
His 'cute'/'flustered' scenes however, were exaggerated far too much that if it wasn't for the genre of this drama, it would've been cringe-y. But since a lot of the side characters were also exaggerated, this part of his acting blended in and somehow actually worked well.

For the 2nd lead guy, Kim Ji Soo, there wasn't really a lot of variety to his acting and that's because of the character he had to play. His character, Gook-Doo, was meant to be serious and is the total opposite of Min-Hyuk. There wasn't really much to him besides being serious and a couple of emotional scenes. The way Gook-Doo's relationship pans out with Bong-Soon was also a bit silly in my opinion. He seemed to have this big brother vibe with Bong-Soon as he always yelled at her. Later on he realises his real feelings and it just seemed silly when he says he never realised Bong-soon's feelings for him because he was too into his own feelings. It just sounded stupid to me, if I'm being frank.

Aside from the 3 main leads, all the supporting cast were all pretty decent too. I have to especially mention Kim Won Hae who played both Kim Kwang Bok and Oh Dol Pyu. I actually started to get annoyed with his character portrayal of Kwang Bok as it was waaaaayyyy to exaggerated but then when he came on as Oh Dol Pyu, I was just impressed. The way he acted that character was spot on. Though, it was still exaggerated, it just seemed to suit Oh Dol Pyu more.

Story/Plotline:
There really wasn't much of a story to this drama. It's very very easy to follow. There's the main 'thriller' story and the love triangle going on beside it and that's pretty much it. Some of the scenes didn't even make sense in the drama and were literally there to just be the 'in-between' scenes. It wasn't necessary as it didn't really add anything to the story and most of them tried to be funny but instead got a bit annoying.
I did however enjoy the romance side of the plot and the way it progressed between the main leads. It didn't feel rushed and it seemed pretty realistic/relatable in terms of how one's feelings towards someone else can eventually expire.
The best thing about the story/drama for me was the ending. I'm a 'happy ending' / 'and they lived happily ever after' kinda person so I was very satisfied with the ending of this drama.

Music/OST:
The OST was alright. There were a couple of good tracks but they are quite forgettable. If I heard them again, I probably won't remember it came from this drama.

Would I recommend:
Yes, but only if you don't mind exaggerated characters/acting and a few cringe-y moments. This drama is not meant to be taken seriously. It's a slapstick comedy with a side of thriller, that says it all. If you just want to watch a fun, cute romance drama then I would definitely recommend this one. P.S. It's worth watching for Bo-Young and Hyung-Sik's on-screen chemistry and visuals to be honest :D If you're a fan of either of them, then I would give this one a go.
