Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is my favorite drama and I wasn't sure how it got such low ratings when I first signed into MyDramalist. I realized that many people thought the funny scenes were too stupid or cringey, but honestly I think I may have a super weird sense of humor cuz I found them absolutely hilarious. ALSO FOR THOSE WHO HATED ON BONG SOON'S MUM FOR HER ABUSE SHOULD KNOW THAT SUCH ACTIONS HAVE BEEN TOTALLY NORMALIZED IN MANY ASIAN COUNTRIES (THOUGH I AM AGAINST IT). THEY WRITERS PROBABLY DECIDED TO REVERSE GENDER ROLES FOR DOMESTIC ABUSE. Some people actually found it funny but I considered it a serious problem. In the end when they showed her concern for her husband though they fought, I was happy they made up. Like the typical Asian parent or spouse, she started behaving sweetly towards him as a sign of an apology instead of directly apologizing. So if anybody didn't like these happenings, then know that it is cultural difference and nothing else. I thought that the way they combined so many genres was super refreshing and the transition from one genre to another was pretty smooth and refreshing. I loved Min hyuk's and Bong soon's characters and acting was also up to the mark. I didn't find any serious flaws with the story except a few unrealistic scenes. The story is cliche but the comedy made up for it in my opinion.

This show was a damn good show and I just adored it to pieces.

This show was brought to my attention by my k drama bestie, B Nice and it was such a big hit with me that even till this day, and many dramas later, I still find myself watching my favorite scenes from this show over and over again. The triple threat of Park Hyung Sik, Park Bo Young, and Ji Soo was a major score for me. I enjoyed all of their characters and they brought this story to life like nobody else could and I loved the hell out of their work in this one.

So this story follows our main lead, Bong Soon. Bong Soon has grown up in a family where the women have super-human strength and she’s no different. She can pick up a bus full of people, punch through houses, and she benchpress everything. Trying to get a job at a gaming company is out of reach for her but her luck turns around when her strength gets her hired on as the CEO of her dream company’s bodyguard. An Min Hyuk is intrigued by the small little woman that he witnessed kick the shit out of a bunch of bad guys who bullied a bus driver and the kids that he was driving to school. He follows her to the police station where she’s giving her statement to her detective friend. The more that he sees of the woman, the more interested he is in her. He needs a bodyguard and thinks that this woman has just what he’s looking for in a bodyguard. It doesn’t hurt that she’s easy on the eyes, not that it matters anyway. Bong Soon ain’t trying to look his way. He annoys the hell out of her and thinks he’s gay so he’s out of the running for our girl.

Bong Soon has grown up with a huge crush on her childhood friend, Kook Doo but she’s never felt it was the right time for them and it’s thrown in her face when she finds out that Kook Doo’s got a girlfriend. She’s hurt and she’s frustrated but she can’t help who she loves any more than she can help the strength that she has that others don’t. But she has to try to get over him because she’s not a homewrecker so when she gets closer and closer to her annoying boss, she starts to realize that he’s not as bad as she initially thought. He’s actually a really great guy and he’s not gay either, haha.

Seeing both Bong Soon and Min Hyuk grow into their feelings for each other at the same time that they’re fighting bad guys left and right, was a lot of fun. This was a comedy, a romance, and even had some action thrown in and I was here for it all. I am such a huge fan of the three main leads because of their work in this show. I loved the romance in this, I loved the friendship that developed between Min Hyuk and Kook Doo and I really, really loved the couch scene.

I was a giant ball of emotions when I watched this scene. The way that he kept putting himself out there for her, hoping that she would stop looking at the guy that’s not looking at her and look at him instead. He was so good to her and he loved her so much and gahhhhh, I loved it! They’re one of my favorite couples to date. This show was a damn good show and I just adored it to pieces so I definitely recommend it to everyone.

Somehow I feel that thriller has been a trend in Korean drama lately. I'm not sure. Maybe just because I watched Healer, Tunnel and also reminded of Pinocchio and I Hear Your Voice. Despite some thrill has been added, this drama is a romantic comedy. The drama is very funny.  Since the first episode, I can't stop laughing. The animation and sound effect just nail it. (I love the puppy sound ^^)

Since the idea of the story is not new (I think I can find a lot of story about a strong woman), the story can be predictable. Somehow the main lead always bickering with each other. It's already a k drama pattern that you can find everywhere. (Secret Garden, Delightful Girl Chun Hyang, Fight For My Way, etc)

Another bad point about the drama is the case with the kidnapper feel like too long to be solved. Sometimes you feel that the progress is really slow and the show can have too many filler comedy.

Overall this is a cute drama. Even though the story is predictable, I still enjoy the whole show. Especially when Bong So starts to beat up people!

I watched it last year and the only thing that stands out in my mind now is that it was a really funny show overall! Yeah, it really had some really cringey humour at times but if you just skip past those few mins in every few episodes, then you can enjoy a really funny show. Especially the side villains were so funny whenever they encountered our badass FL! Lol

The FL and ML have cute chemistry and even though the FL was slightly emotionally weak in the beginning especially when it came to Second ML, she becomes fully badass towards the end! It was a really satisfying to watch that because in most dramas FL are either physically strong or mentally strong but here thankfully she is both and that is refreshing!

The sismance here was totally awesome! And also bittersweet bickering bromance between the 2 MLs was also very funny and enjoyable! The goons and those bully kids turned lackeys were really funny. All the characters and plots were entertaining to watch except the FL's brother love story plot which made feel very angry for obvious reasons, especially on his new 'girlfriend' ...

There is a little Thriller plot that runs throughout the drama but that certainly is not the main focus of this drama. This is essentially a romcom with good doses of romance and comedy with the added advantage of an intelligent ML and a strong (really really strong :D) FL!

I really Think this is worth your time

The show itself has many interesting factors and has a unique plot, not only does this show have those but it is also really well done. The storyline is easy enough to follow but manages to keep you on edge most episodes. Besides all the parts that may be scarier to younger children this show is really cute and the relationships between the characters are really fun to watch as they change. The music in the show is always fitting for the mood but the songs are repeated a decent bit so depending on how many times you watch this the songs may get annoying but besides that the songs fit really well with the scenes to engage the audience and create the appropriate mood. I do believe this is worth your time and even rewatching it is worth your time as well, in fact i have rewatched this show about three times. This is my personal opinion but I believe you should give this show a chance.

This is a good story not the best.

I like the story because it shows that no one in this world is there who cannot adjust to their surroundings. Do Bong Soon (Park Bo Young) comes from a long line of women possessing Herculean strength. But Bong Soon can only use her strength for good; if she uses it for her own personal gain or to mistreat others, she can lose her strength forever like her mother, Hwang Jin Yi (Shim Hye Jin). Bong Soon’s twin brother, Do Bong Ki (An Woo Yeon) did not inherit the unusual family strength and is a doctor, but Bong Soon has trouble finding gainful employment as an aspiring game developer.



When Ahn Min Hyuk (Park Hyung Sik), the young CEO of AIN Software, a gaming company, witnesses Bong Soon’s amazing strength against a group of gangsters one day, he hires her to be his personal bodyguard to help him catch a man who has been making death threats against him. Bong Soon has a secret crush on her childhood friend, In Guk Doo (Ji Soo), a police detective who is trying to capture a dangerous kidnapper in Bong Soon’s neighborhood.

First of all, the story is a bit silly but it made me so happy while I was watching, I smiled a lot just seeing those characters with funny and cheerful personalities. It develops smoothly, I really enjoyed watching this. The special effects aren't good though.
I loved the cast. I had never seen Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Shik before and I fell in love with them. They were perfect for these main roles, the rest of the cast were good but not as good as them.
The music really fits this show. You hear it and you immediately associates with this drama.
Since I had so much fun watching this, I'd really love to rewatch it.
SPOILER
Lastly, there's just 1 thing I would change about the story. It broke my heart the fact that Gook Do ended up alone, so this is the only thing I would change.

I really liked this drama. I would totally recommend it.

a very cute and heart-warming romance with great chemistry and a lot of funny moments. of course there were some weird scenes but what made me avoid rating it with a 10 was the fact that the feminism that was supposed to be presented in this drama was disappointing, because she had super powers. actually, the problem was that she was considered cool only because of her powers and thus it "tainted" in a way the feministic message it wanted to convey.
overall, though it was a lovely kdrama and I loved it. the actors were great and the action was nice.

I recommend it to people who are searching for a cute romcom with a little bit of action and suspense.

Another Drama to add to my Top 5

I literally just finished watching this and am about to rewatch. I can't remember when I've watched something and laughed as hard as I did watching SWDBS! I know for sure I haven't laughed this hard during the past year of Covid quarantine/lockdown.

I'm really kicking myself for not watching this earlier. To be honest, the description made it sound a bit too fluffy and immature...and, truth is, it IS fluffy and a bit immature, but that happens to be part of its charm. The scenes are zany and ridiculous but this drama manages to combine the zany and ridiculous in the funniest way.

It certainly helps that both the ML and FL are so gosh darn cute too. Their chemistry is off the charts. Typically as an older kdrama watcher, I don't enjoy younger romance stories, but this one is the exception.

My only criticism is that at times the secondary characters were given too much attention. We watched the same scene of some injured characters in the hospital over and over again...and for so many episodes. I'm still not sure what that was for. It was funny the first two times we saw them...the other 20? Not so much.

Anyway, I'm surprised at how good this was and how much I enjoyed it. Few dramas make me want to rewatch right after they end. This one does it (and I even re-watched certain scenes while I was watching the first time!)
