I have two criteria for a 10 star drama: 1) It has to make me cry and 2) It can never make me angry. Sadly, SWDBS didn’t meet either of these criteria, although it came really really close to meeting criterion 1. Nevertheless, I loved this show to pieces, and it would’ve been at least a 9.5 had episode 13 never happened (I still can’t get behind the weird “first, do no harm” logic that only seems to apply when it’s convenient to the writer). I absolutely adore Park Bo Young, and I absolutely regret not watching a Park Hyung Sik drama up until now. SWDBS didn’t feel as filler-y as other people claimed, but maybe I just really enjoy a good slice of life. For once, I really really liked the crime/thriller aspect of the show (maybe I’m growing to like it or maybe it was just dumbed down and simple enough for me to appreciate lmao). Anywho, I personally thought the giant mix of genres worked quite well for this drama, and I enjoyed all parts of the show quite a bit. I’d definitely recommend SWDBS to all levels of kdrama addicts, and I’m impressed it took me this long to pick it up.

This series has a really good structure and plot,  and it's an original story.  Also, the same way as the story progresses you fell in love with the characters and the actors too. All the actors do it very well in their roles, I believe that they are irreplaceable and very talented. It is a slightly frequent romantic history that breaks with the rules of the typical plot where the boy saves the girl who is in danger. In this series, the two characters saved each other from different events. Highly Recommended.

MY FIRST K-DRAMA

During quarantine I decided to venture out of the western-hollywood scene and explore more international titles. This drama was the very first k-drama I came across and I absolutely LOVED it! The cast & characters were amazing and fully entertaining the entire time. I expected the show to be more romance than anything else, but to me it was definitely more of a Drama-Comedy. I love the family dynamic, it felt very classic; I love the female lead actress/character; and I love love the "thug boss" character (I could not stop laughing every time I saw him). The villain was questionable at times, but very interesting and I did not expect the end outcome. Overall, it is now a staple in my list and something I would recommend to any/everybody!

First of all my expectations according to the opinions was very high
Which later was the main point for disappointing me
I can't deny I love every second in front of
Park Hyung Shik he is an amazing actor I adore him since I watched "High society"
The drama has many fluffy scences

But I was frustrated by the weak shallow plot
And many unnecessary side storie scenes which I passed many times and doesn't affect the story at all if they cut it
Such as
*The gangsters
*Her brother's unfinished love story hee ji
*The priest
*The g** guy at the co. Who was loving hung shik

But the most sad part for me was
Ji soo
The writer made him realize his feelings too Late which was too unrealistic and so frustrating and sad
And didn't try to bring him another love like he did wz do bong soon
I saw that unjustice and not fair
As if he just wanted someone to suffer without any good reason for such a light romcom

For me it's light drama u can watch just once
And they should reduce it to avoid the shallow part in it

This is my first K-drama & I really love dis drama from starting to end ??. The chemistry between two leads is so cute and perfect chemistry ♥️ . The actors have very well played . You will love this if you Iike comedy love story, few suspense and action. I
loved the mix of genre like a comic style. Park Bo Young is really adorable and cute girl and Park Hyung Shik made my heart melt in every scene he laughed,smiled nd cried. Definitely worth watching..... JUST WATCH IT ?. I really enjoyed everything in this drama.

This is so good

At first i thought he liked her because she was manly and strong but the romance is so good the chemistry is amazing . The love triangle was good but the cop realized a little to late but had he not went to save his ex would he have ended up with bong soon or the CEO . Her and the CEO were my favorite couple i was so glad that they got married and had children. The fact he liked her in real life and said that she was his ideal type got me jumping up and down like a frog . I just wish that they date.

wohoooooo
amazing drama…!
I initially watched it only for Park Hyun Sik but the entire cast and storyline was to the point….!
something heartwarming to watch without it toxic characters
if you hope to watch something real chill and lovely, this drama is for you.
Park Bo Young and PHS have amazing chemistry throughout.
Although it is a kinda fantasy drama, it is fabulous.
I have watched this drama almost 5 times now..!!!!
Even the OST is amazing and to the point. I just seem to not be able to stop praising this drama, but I’ll stop here ?

Firstly, due to the abundance of dramas that are similar to this one, I had very low expectations, especially since each episode was 1 hour long. but I was gobsmacked when I watched the first episode and then I just couldn't stop. It was romantics, funny and dark.

The only problem was the story-line. i understand that they wanted to make the show dark, but with the added humor and romance it was just too much. It just didn't blend well and it kind of made me less interested in the show.

The music was great I loved the music they played during episode 4, and the romantic music they played in episode 16. This is probably one of the little dramas that I've seen which have goo music. The cast was great! I totally ship Park Bo  Young and Park Hyung Shik. The acting was amazing and the emotional scenes made me teary.

I would definitely re-watch this drama, and would recommend it to anyone who is thinking of watching it.

Overall I would give this a 9/10 mainly because I have difficulty finding good dramas mainly because of my preferences when it comes to story-lines.

Hope this helped :)

I have just completed this drama and I have to say that it was really good, so I grade it a 9.5. The story line is cute but also really cool because of all the action in it. The actors are really good and did a good job making it.
I can highly recommend it to you!

Strong Woman tells the story about a girl who got a supernatural strength from her antecedents, more than that, the drama shows her life and how she deals with it
The drama was funny and the romance was well done but some parts were kinda boring. Besides that, the cast of the drama was amazing and the actors are very talented and the ost was good as well, so I recommend it for people who like to watch dramas who mix between funny moments, creepy things and romance all in the same episodes

A positive review!

I agree this drama tried to touch every genre romance thriller crime fantasy comedy and I must say it did well

I didn't feel it was all over the place
It was perfect
Every character was well acted

Now I will state it it's a good watch

Extremely light nothing so intense... though there is violence but not too much

Love triangle is touching..I mean there were not too many scenes with SML but you'll still have a heavy heart

The thriller is of perfect intensity for a rom com

FL is extremely cute and the way she fights is the coolest thing ever

ML is very good looking and is obsessed with her..it's very cute watching them

The gangster group and the highschooler group is so refreshing and funny..I loved them!!

If you are an Indian... there's a lot of Indian reference

The ending is of course satisfactory

Do give it a watch!!
