Fun superhero story with both action and romance
I loved this drama so much! Ended up binge watching it over a few days and am so glad I finally caved in, after years of having people recommend it to me.The entire story is very light humoured, and the absurdity of some scenes just add to it. The "role reversal" of the lead characters (incredibly strong and small woman protecting the man, who's more fragile than her) didn't feel over done, and both lead men were so respectful towards her. There wasn't a moment in which I felt that they saw her as anything other a great girl, never really looking at her like a "superhero", which helped humanize that superpower storyline.
The editing and the songs were fun, too, and so many of the characters were hilarious. That actor that plays two characters is phenomenal, and I'm pretty sure I laughed until my belly hurt in every single one of his scenes.
I definitely feel that this drama is a hit or miss depending on the style of humor that the viewer has, but it worked perfectly for me, so I'd definitely recommend it. And I'll be keeping an eye on this cast when I choose my next dramas, too. :-)

Everything about it is beautiful
‼️ WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BUT NOT IN A OBVIOUS WAY ‼️Story: Although there are still some things in the drama that aren’t explained very well, like how did the power the woman in Bong-Soon family, or how did she gained her powers again after losing them. Obviously i do have some theories it would be good if they could give us more explanations about it. The story itself is good, some things about the culprit also wasn’t explained very well but that’s okay since he was a psychopath he could have done it without having a real meaning behind his actions. The story for me is 9.5/10, everything is very sweet and cute love it.
Acting/Cast: 10/10. Everyone performed their characters very well, including the villain. The actors absolutely made us fall in love with every character and it was very well done.
OST: 10/10, loved the background songs it made every scene more beautiful and real.
More general information: This was my second korean drama, and i deeply love it. The ending for me was cute but I was expecting to see some interaction between Bong-Soon and her babies, also i understood that what she wanted was to protect people with her power but it kinda of made me sad that she probably no long produces games like she originally wanted to do, but i guess that’s just character development and the maturity she gains during the drama. Another thing that i absolutely loved was the love development between the main couple, it’s really sweet to see them falling in love specially Bong-Soon. Another thing that’s absolutely cute it’s the way Guk-Do realizes he’s in love with his best friend, and also realizes he no longer can have her and instead of acting like a dickass, he understands it and only wishes for her happiness and also wants them to stay friends forever. One of my favorite scenes is when MinHyuk says he won’t leave BongSoon side even if it means he’s also going to die, it’s beautiful and it’s also when they both understand the deep love that exists between themselves. It’s also beautiful and absolutely cute how they “consume” their relationship lmao i loved that episode.
Overall it’s a really good drama, would recommend it, it has an happy ending, it’s really funny, absolutely laughed a lot during the episodes, it also has some triggered scenes so be aware of that.

slapstick humor, easy watching
I laughed so much while watching this and enjoyed it thoroughly. Park Bo Young is such a versatile actress and even though I am not a fan of love triangles somehow I will still watch and enjoy them if she’s apart of the show. This is an easy must watch for anyone who enjoys a little bit of slapstick and a little bit of mystery. Although it may be a little plain if watched right after a great series or movie, I found it to be a welcome relief in between the melodrama or action suspense series. It was digestible, most of the humor landed for me and it was just a touch romantic. I would recommend this to someone who likes to laugh and who needs a break from the intense shows but not to someone who wants depth and intrigue.Was this review helpful to you?
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.

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!

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!

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.
