Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

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

Heartbeat Heartbeat

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 :)

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!!

it's good but kinda a love triangle you can say...

it's a really good series and I had really fun watching it it's also in my opinion one of the best K drama's I've watched because it's about romance and girl power I wanna say that in the start she has a crush on someone else and the main male lead (I can't remember his name) gets a little jealous so if your not into love triangles you can say then it might not be a drama for you but U promise it's not a like real love triangle so don't worry nobody will get second lead syndrome. and a little note it's like kinda krimi so if you like that you should definitely watch it but it has some kinda uncomfortable scenes where it's like not scary but uncomfortable so be aware of that but overall it's a great series I watched it in a day because it was so good and I really recommend this series for the people who love kdramas or want to start watching them or overall just like to try new things please like my review and I hope it was helpful

Okay, so first things first - this drama is a wonderful drama that I would recommend in a heartbeat, especially to those who love a cute, good romance but are not looking for a heap load of angst in the relationship. Personally, this is my favorite type of drama. I prefer it when the plot does not revolve around what new misunderstanding happens between the main couple, and who tries to separate them next and *gasp* he has an arranged marriage, and she has cancer!

This drama forgoes all this and instead focuses on making Bong Soon Min Hyeok an otp to remember and top lists. I love those two (together and separately) to death! The process of them falling in love was such a lovely journey to be part of, and the way they looked at each other made my heart flutter. Especially Min Hyeok, who was so gone it wasn't even funny, just extremely enviable.

These two were simply adorable, and their personalities are really the strongest part of this drama. Bong Soon is a little ball of fire, and Min Hyeok becomes a teddy bear whenever he's around the peanut-sized king kong, even when he tries really hard to be mean (in a playful way). They were the whole package!

Now, I have absolutely no complaint about the entirety of their relationship, and again, I WOULD RECOMMEND this drama in a heartbeat, I really would. But at the end of the day, I couldn't give this drama full stars even though a part of me want to just for my otp. I think this is partly because I already watched Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo which is kind of the perfect drama in my opinion and does what Strong Woman tries to do perfectly.

What do I mean? Whereas the romance is the definite strong suit of this drama, the side plots is where it falls. Because honestly, there was only one truly interesting side plot to this drama and about a dozen unnecessary ones.

And Strong Woman drags *all* of them.

(1)We have the serial killer, who was interesting and made me bite my nails but fell flat at the end. (2) The whole unrequited-maybe-required love situation. (3) I admit I liked the gang members...at first. Then I kind of wished someone would kill them just so I wouldn't need to hear another peep from them. (4)There was also Min Hyeok's family, wasn't there? or did I imagine it? (5) Can't forget Bong Soon's mom and her entire family (will I get stoned if I say I really liked her mom? Even those she's brash and abusive?) (6) Oh, and her game! (7) And there is that annoying sunbae Dong Byung and his whole part of the story, which was murder on my ears and just gah.

And those weren't all. Each one of them *could* have been interesting and had potential (okay, perhaps all but Dong Byung. AND the gang members should've quit while they were ahead). but at the end of the day, almost every one of the many stories this drama tried to tell beside the one of our lovely main couple ended up falling short. They were either too long, or too short, or just broke the flow of the entire drama or made me scratch my head wondering why they were needed in the first place.

I enjoyed the heck out of this drama, don't get me wrong, and I smiled nearly throughout the entirety of it, and I LIVE for portrayals of romance such as this one, with the full on heart-eyes and inability to contain the love. But I also feel like this *could* have been the perfect drama if you made it 12 episodes and cut off giant chunks of gang-member nonsense and idiocy and focused instead on just a few of the plotline and saw them through...

This drama has covered almost every zones like fun, romance, sentiment, thrill, scientific, emotion etc..... 👍 No one can dislike this drama.... Daebakkkkk 🤗🤗🤗

Coming to the cast:
Min Min: Awesome male lead ❤ i can see Lee jong suk in him 🌹 His act was hilarious and made me laugh out loud whenever he hops in the scene 😆.. His love act was so pure and he had no fear to anyone....😎 The most thing was he never cared about his company or any whenever he was with his girlfriend, thus playing a superb boyfriend role 😉... Also the gay part was laughable and he did act those scenes accordingly to make all believe that he is a gay ha ha ha 😂.... So pretty male lead, Loved him lot 😍

Bong Bong: Waaaahhhhhh she is really very tiny to call a strong woman as the title 😄... Anyways, Never judge by its cover right 😎.. She tremendously did her role very well and she is soooo cute and pretty as all said in the drama throughout.. 😍 Really a peanut size girl 😀... She looked dashing as a woman in Juliet role and kid like nature in Bong Bong role 🤗 I loved her a lot, very adorable ☺

Gook doo: He said he liked flower-like girls pointing Bong Soon in his high school then he had HeeJi as girlfriend, after she said she is wavering, he suddenly jumped to say that he loved BongSoon only for this long to BongBong itself, this is so uncomfortable 😛 i really got confused just in that 1minute scene, if he loved Bong from long then why did he liked HeeJi in middle, eventhough he didnt get a clear picture he must have sort it and then made a choice 😯...But friend like part was good between them 👍

Other characters: All did a fantastic job by supporting the flow of the script... Every role did so well... Applause 👏👏👏

Can't consider anything else in negative from a fantasy drama even if it's unbelievable journal... Just take only the fun ones, other than the rough and struggling parts 👍

Special mention: I must thank the music creators for such a lovely bgm for every scene... Even when they rolled the eyes they made a funny bgm and made me LOL 😂😂😂 And HEARTBEAT & SUPER POWER GIRL songs are extraodinary, such a marvelous music, great and lovable songs 🌹
