Strong Girl Namsoon is not a story about Namsoon and the FL's speech is jarring

The most jarring thing about the drama is the director’s choice of casting the FL as a character who speaks with broken informal Korean. This is extremely annoying. It’s unnecessary as well as the FL grew up speaking Korean and any backstory could have been written that’s convincing.

Lee Yoo-mi is a novice actress but is known for in Squid Game for her ability to depict subtle emotions. Howver her current role makes her speak in awkward tones and does not utilise her acting strength. There’s only one scene where she hugged her father in the amusement park that is fairly warm.

Also, the producers can’t make up their mind about who really are the leads of the drama. So far, the FL’s family members take up a lot of screen time, and the FL and the ML only appear half the time.

The ML also does not have much to do, and does not have much of a romance or convincing love for the FL up to this point and it is already episode 8 when this review is written. It is hard to compare but as a spinoff, it is very underwhelming at this point.

Not what I expected....

I expected so much from this because this was the sequel of one of my all time favourite dramas and even the cast was amazing in this drama but the writer ruined it all. The plot was so lacking, we didn't even get to see the female lead using her powers much and I thought the 3 women would work together using their powers but they just gave grandma a cringey love story that I hated so much!!

The ML actor is a really good actor but they wasted his character here & the villain had more screentime than anyone else but I'm not complaining about because he's the only reason I watched this till the end. Byun Woo Seok carried the whole show for me because only his character had some depth with a background story & I even felt bad about his story because he was the only interesting character. He made such a good villain who was charismatic, also he was so hot I have to say that ^^

There were way too many useless characters and cringey scenes. I don't even have anything good to say about this. The only good thing was the acting because all of them were such good actors but the writing wasted their acting skills. I also didn't like how the villain killed himseld in the end because I would've preferred him to go to jail and receive his punishment. And as much as I couldn't hate the villain, they focused the story way too much around him and not the main characters

Overall it was a waste of time & I'm disappointed with the writer for ruining this drama like this. And please they better not make a season 3 after this disappointment -_-

Why is everyone giving this a bad review?

I really don't understand why people are saying they don't like it. It is a fun watch tbh funny characters and a cute concept. The story did not go the way I thought it would go. Some stuff was dragged on which could have been used to introduce the already had characters better which would not have left so much confusion at the end of the series.


Unanswered Questions
- Why was Bread song real self contained till literally the last 5 minutes of the drama, was he really laundering money, is he the new mafia boss?
- who was the guy giving Geum Joo all the intel?
- the detective asked about the phone and its tracking but nothing happened.
- In ep 16 who was the woman geum joo visited and does her son have super strength too? is there gonna be another one but for guys?

too many unanswered questions and I don't think there will be a part 2.

I’m sorry but overrated

The beginning was good and as people said it has so much potential. I love the foundation of the story (some were a bit unrealistic but it was acceptable since this is a comical superpower show like its preceding season.) With that being said, I am not comparing the two, I can’t even remember the plot of the first one, except that I enjoyed it.

My main thoughts about this is that they tried to squeeze in TOO MANY for 16 episodes. Too packed that you don’t even understand what’s going on anymore.

My first ‘eyebrow raise’ moment was when she met her mom for the first time. They were reunited after almost 20 years, crying and hugging, then suddenly they were talking about something random? Then even her reunion with the rest of the family was too underwhelming, they moved on too fast. Right away she was onto this spy mission, and you can barely see her with her family. She was lost for a long time and NOW you found her and that’s it?

They’re moving too fast with the scenes that the emotions aren’t showing enough of what it’s so supposed to show BUT it’s draggy at the same time. (Idk how to explain,, that’s how I felt).

The mom is annoying too I AM SORRY. I love that she’s living “FOR A CAUSE” but she’s like a bulldozer, she doesn’t think first before taking actions. And sometimes she do things that aren’t smart and even IF they are smart it doesn’t sound and look smart. 🙈 Her character is too comical. Imo

There’s too much going on that the story is all over the place. Even her homeless friend have been gone for 2 episodes or so, and now the grandfather is back…and received a surgery…for what?

I wish they had skipped some of these funny scenes to just make a more wholistic story because HONESTLY, I don’t know WHY the grandma’s role is there, what is her role’s essence in the storyline?

I know I haven’t finished the whole thing yet. I WILL be finishing it because I am still curious. The only way I’d change my mind about this is if they’ll be able to tie up everything properly at the end.

Well…

I mean it’s exactly as what’d you’d expect especially if you watched strong woman do bongsoon first.

Personally I found this show pretty entertaining but I felt really sorry for the villain Ryo Shio. I wish they would’ve given him a happy ending honestly.

There isn’t much for me to touch on, I think the show was really silly at times and funny but I guess that’s the genre it is in general.

I think they made nam soon a little too much hyper and quirky and made it a bit cringe.

The cop was cute but compared to Ryo Shio he didn’t seem to have much of a personality…Or maybe I just inevitably choose villains over heroes but!

Overall I actually would LOVE a season 2 because of the cliffhanger at the end. So you’re telling me there’s a guy with the power too? Such a good plotwist.

I would love to meet the new character! However i’m not sure if this show will get renewed but who knows, it only recently ended.

It’s a quirky show really, same premise as the OG, nothing special. But cute and good for keeping you entertained when bored.

This show was a disappointment

The drama wasn't executed properly, Guem ju, Nam Soon s mother had more screen than namsoon herself, at some point it felt like I was watching the show of namsoon s mother, the main leads's chemistry wasn't great either nam soon and Kang Hee Sik barely spent time together, tbh namsoon spent more time w ryu si o. The drama is really confusing the storyline is messed up, and they r many useless characters with no purpose.Plus Namsoon s grandmother and her boyfriend were really cringe.
Well overall in the end this drama was watchable and funny,
You can watch it if you want to but it's a okay okay drama👍🏽

C'était bien parti mais c'est décevant.

Je poste seulement pour relâcher un peu la déception que fut ce drama. Au début vraiment l'ambiance loufoque m'a fait accroché, rappelant l'univers de Strong Woman, le personnage de Namsoon vraiment cute et le couple prévisible mais adorable. J'ai bien aimé le fait que toute la famille soit impliqué et le développement des personnages de la mère et de la grand mère.

Dans un second temps l'infiltration, et c'est là que tout a dérapé pour moi. On en apprend plus sur le méchant de l'histoire, et le fait se rapprocher de Namsoon. Cet homme froid et cruel s'ouvre seulement à elle et on découvre que sous cette facette se trouve un homme brisé et traumatisé par son passé. J'ai trouvé ça extrêmement décevant que notre héroïne se retrouve dans la position de celle qui va porter le coup de grâce à cet homme ayant été trahi toute sa vie. Je ne parlerai même pas de la fin de celui ci qui était vraiment la pire que j'aurais pu imaginer. Au final le méchant a été selon moi le personnage le plus construit et le plus humain malgré qu'il ai mal tourné et l'héroïne s'est retrouvé à n'avoir aucune empathie pour lui en le trahissant ouvertement sans aucun remord.

Un drama au final pas à la hauteur de son prédécesseur et décevant.

Well i won't surpass the first 1 i assure u that

First of all the story is lacking i mean they have this great cast but what the ML and FL fall in love likie in the first 2-3 episode just like that no chemistry btwn them whatsoever just like that the camera pauses for 3 seconds they in love really, which means there is no chance 4 the second ML i mean he seems to be in the dark which unbelievable by the way that he doesnt know the girls real identity, its not there are alot of strong women in the country so what is the writer trying to do here make it a big reveal in later episodes that's bullshit they villain is well connected too he can easily find out about that anyway i didn't spoil anything im still skimming through when other episodes come out just so u know this remake wint catch up to the original i mean u gonna be in it up to episode 4 a feel like it hasn't started i watched the recent episode I'm still waiting for it to start this lame
