The worst comedy show ever

This is the worst comedy show i have ever seen. I wanted to watch bcoz of JTBC high ratings.
I can't understand how people bear to watch it till the end & it end with high ratings. I can't bear to watch it until episode 5.
I did not come to see reviews before watch it. Because i thought consider it’s ratings, It’s maybe good drama. But completely disappointing, so my rating is also 1 for this drama.
So much overacting & bad story.
I thought first season was good, so it will
be also good.
They try to make comedy with too much super power, but it’s too much to bear.
with too much super power she also
gain too much eye & talking power.
How can this kind of drama gain this kind of high ratings , i wonder. So many good dramas Can't reach good ratings but with this story it’s already very funny.

The purpose for TV Shows, Series and Movies is entertainment…

I throughly enjoyed every episode, the diverse characters and all their flaws, the ups and downs the laugh out loud moments. What a wild ride.. I understood the value of compassion, second chances and accountability. I will rewatch a few episodes in case I missed something. If you enjoy flicks for entertainment value please watch, it’s worthy of a rewatch, I never watch shows with intent to see the same storyline with different characters. Bong Soon was awesome however I never expected Nam Soon to be a repeat. My only disappointing moment was Ryu Shi-Oh death. I don’t look for the deep meanings of life in Entertainment.. just great dialogue, a few puns, tears and popcorn moments.

Not Exactly The Strongest Comeback

The 2017 classic “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” was a sleeper hit simply because of the fantastic chemistry between the main leads Park Bo Young & Park Hyung Sik. It’s quite difficult to come across stories where a female lead and her superpowers are glorified. This edgy fantasy element became the reason for the show’s success. As such, I wasn’t admittedly excited about the new reboot. It may be attributed to the entirely new cast that has no connections to the characters in the prequel. “Strong Girl Namsoon” finally premiered last week. The million dollar question that piques our attention is this- Is the spin-off as well as the prequel? I will answer this question as we analyze the first two episodes and dig deeper into the storyline.

idk what to say honestly

consider its the sequel of strong girl do bongsoon, i thought it was gonna be AWESOME! but this is so cringe istg. the say the actress for gang namsoon is acting idk if its her or the role but I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT. the overly extra dramatic facial expressions makes it so cringe. I'm liking ong seongwoo and will be PISSED if he turns out to be second male lead cuz HE'S SO SWEET. i think he's the only character i liked till now. im still gonna keep hope fof this show and watch it until I can't haha. they need to lower the cringe levels...

Honestly, the beginning of this drama was amazing! I would rate it a 10 if i only saw like the first 2 episodes. It ultimately started to digress after ep 10. Nonetheless, it was an easy watch and extremely comedic.
The plot holes DID become more evident after ep 7, but nothing too bad to scare me away from the kdrama.

Overall, i think it was half decent! The actors were really good, and its such a fun watch! Anytime things got serious or scary, mc would whip out a joke.
Lighthearted drama, nothing too bad or too good, but i would recommend if you like comedic dramas!

Strong Girl Nam Soon: A Compelling Story with Room for Better Relationship Building

As a huge fan of Strong Girl Bong Soon, I was eagerly anticipating Strong Girl Nam Soon. Although it didn't quite live up to its predecessor, I still found many aspects of the show enjoyable.

While there were some issues with the show, such as too many small storylines that took up too much screen time, I appreciated the effort to develop the characters. The characters of Ryu Shi-oh, Lee Myung-hee, Nam-Soon's father and brother, and Nam-Soon's Mongolian parents were well-developed, and I found myself invested in their stories.

However, the show could have done a better job of developing the relationships between the characters. For example, the mother-daughter relationship was not fully developed, and the relationship between the main couple was rushed and lacked buildup. The death of Lee Myung-hee did not have a significant emotional impact on fans, as the relationship between Lee and Nam-Soon was not well-developed.

On the other hand, the relationship between Nam-Soon and Mongolian Mom is better established, making it more impactful when they attempt to kill her. However, this also leads to the problem of resolving the conflict too quickly without proper buildup, which may leave fans feeling unsatisfied.

I think the romantic storyline of the grandmother could have been minimized or removed entirely, as it did not add much to the show. The hints dropped about Bread Song were interesting, but there could have been more small reveals throughout the season to build up curiosity about his character. It had a huge payoff in the end without any buildup.

Overall, I appreciated the effort put into the show, and I enjoyed watching it. While it may not have been perfect, I still found myself invested in the characters and their stories. With some tweaks to the writing and character development, this show could have been even better.

Come for Lee Yoo Mi, stay for 3 generations of women living their best lives

Look, this drama won't be for everyone. It's an unapologetically over the top fairy tale/comic book mashup with a barely coherent plot that requires a generous suspension of disbelief, and much like its predecessor, the writing and character development are mediocre and the treatment of the men in the family feels mean-spirited at best and downright abusive at worst.

And yet, I enjoyed it so much more than I expected because, for all its faults, this drama absolutely nails it with Lee Yoo Mi as Nam-soon. She is utterly incandescent as our titular strong girl and I know not everyone is a fan of the bubbly and naive female lead, but I loved her and her cheeky grin and her unwavering sense of justice SO much. Lee Yoo Mi truly carried this drama on her back (pun intended) and she was an absolute delight to watch and I can't wait to what she does next.

The rest of the main cast is a total hoot as well, Kim Jung Eun and Kim Hae Sook are both fabulously campy, chewing every scene they're in with aplomb, and I genuinely love that we got to see a 60+ year old woman with a romance subplot and doing more than just being a granny. Ong Seong Woo is endearingly earnest as the long-suffering good guy cop getting bridal-carried all over the place by his super strong girlfriend, and Byeon Woo Seok took "if evil why sexy" and dialed it all the way up to 11 and we thank him for his service (somebody needs to create a mafia bromance drama with him and Lee Hong Nae ASAP).

In short, this is not a drama you watch for the plot, this is a drama you watch for the actors hamming it up in the silliest situations. It's deeply unserious but pretty fun if you throw logic out the window, and above all else, I love that we got to see these 3 generations of brash, bold women who fearlessly pursued their dreams, protected their loved ones, and used their powers to do good with reckless abandon.

Kinda mid

First few episodes weren’t bad, I didn’t find any of the characters as engaging as the first iteration. The OTP whole cute enough had no real chemistry.

Yes the SML/baddie has more substance but still left me underwhelmed. He does however fill out his suits really well.

The one point where this series trumps SWDBS is with the secondary characters, they were a lot less silly.

I didn’t hate it but I didn’t love it. Unsure if I will rewatch this where as I have rewatched SWDBS multiple times.

It's an entertaining despite what others said

Entertaining drama. Okay nmn ang drama but of course Strong woman dobong soon is so much better. But it doesn't mean na iignore niyo ang drama nato. Kung hindi ka nmn mapili sa drama at gusto mo ng lighthearted at happy ending watch this.
- It's still enjoyable, I like this as comedic
- The lead chemistry(Namsoon and Hee Shik) is okay lang not great pero okay lang kase hindi talga focus masyado
- I like some of the cast and the acting seems good, I like the elders here in this drama
- C grandma at barista ang lalandi lagi 😁 umay haha, the parents are still care or in love despite divorce
- I love it na may guest appearance sina Kim Won Hae(yung bakla na may gusto ky min hyuk at nasa gang na laging bugbog sa hospital sa strong woman do bong soon), Park Hyung Sik
(Min Hyuk), at Park Bo Young(Do Bong Soon) :) - iba talga yung tawa ko sa strong woman do bongsoon parin.
- I like the team up of Namsoon kasama yung dalawang homeless friend nya (Hyun Soo at c No) nakakaaliw sila kaso ang konti lang
- I don't agree that Ryu Si-o should be forgiven like some said. Lol kahit na handsome sya or may soft spot kay Namsoon sa paningin ng iba masama parin ugali niya, marami pinatay, at di nagbago kaya deserve mapanagot. Kakaawa mga pinatay nya walang redemption arc is better. Mas kawawa pa c Hwa Ja/Myung Hee kesa sa kanya.
- I stille enjoy this drama kahit na medyo messy, not much ganap, still I find this lighthearted and okay

You can watch but don't expect to much.

Personally, I'm still enjoying some scenes in this drama despite some serious scriptwriting issues and I give this drama a big minus because of the scriptwriting.

I actually have no complaints about the side stories in SWDBS because there weren't many of them and they were all really fun characters, but in this drama, there's so much focus on other stories and too many side character stories that the writer neglects our main couple story.
Grandma's story is my favorite out of all of them. She has a lot of scenes but doesn't overshadow the main characters' stories, and her love life is seriously hilarious.

As for the main couple's love story, I'm neither a villain team nor a male lead team.
The writer appears to be forced to cram their love story into this investigative comedy drama. I'm still puzzled as to why the writer gave the villain to have some feelings for the female lead. Logically, he was not supposed to feel kind toward other people and certainly wasn't supposed to have put any trust in other people, since he was raised by other villains.

Regarding our NamSoon, I genuinely enjoy her outgoing nature. She loves herself and is an optimistic girl. It is unfortunate that her mother's story overshadowed her own because the author is overly fixated on the mother.

Anyway, I'm still looking forward to their third season. Despite the fact that there appeared to be less plot in season 1 than in season 2, the first season was a lot of fun. I just hope the writer writes better characters and a better script that focuses more on her main character's story.

Very entertaining, fast paced and not boring

I was hesitated to watch the prequel, although Im a big fan of the first sequel SGBS , the supernatural power and the fluffy sugary cute romance plot of the Park couple that made me adore that drama .
Im afraid here in prequel they might not do it right and it will only disappoint me. Maybe because the synopsis wasnt really appealing to me. But then again there goes the saying
"Dont judge the book by its cover" , this is exactly what i felt in the first 2 episodes of this drama. I was surprised how I really liked it! The cinematography is jaw dropping! The flow of the story is fast paced , very enjoyable to watch and there's no minute that i didnt enjoy nor bored , i actually really enjoyed it and these are just only 2 episodes.
Now it make sense why it just only came in in Netflix for 2 days now and it's already trending and it reached to top 10 # 6 in US Netflix today. I think i found my favorite show this year!!
Will update this review once i completed the drama.
