Not a very good Marvel version of K-drama franchise
This marks the second K-drama from Netflix that I've found myself unable to finish. The first was "King The Land," a series that turned my favorite actor into a rather bland Disney character."Strong Girl Namsoon," on the other hand, feels like a Marvel show with a Korean twist. While the original show placed a heavy emphasis on character development and their emotions, this one seems to prioritize the superhero aspect without delving into substantial character growth.
The male lead and the grandmother are undeniably talented actors who manage to shine with the material they are given. However, the female lead feels one-dimensional, lacking any significant depth or emotional complexity. Surprisingly, she doesn't even have any abandonment issues, despite being left with adoptive parents.
My breaking point came when I witnessed the antagonist resorting to a blue drug for superhero abilities. It felt like a significant departure from the tone and direction I was hoping for, leading me to decide to drop the series altogether.

Not quite that for me
I dropped off. I love LYF a lot, but I didn’t find the storyline engaging. After 10 episodes I didn’t connect with a single character, and couldn’t care less about them. They all are played very well, so the issue for me was the writing. FL character doesn’t really develop much, and I couldn’t find everyone’s enticement with her beauty believable.The cinematography, music and actors work are superb though.
