Favorite aspects/not so favorite aspects
Okayyyy, I just binged watched strong girl nam soon and I need someone to talk to about it lol. Overall, I really enjoyed watching it. I love that it was a different story with nam soon, how she got lost and was brought up in Mongolia. Absolutely loved that they meshed other cultures, it was refreshing and different. Wish they had kept her long hair tho, cuz do bong soon already had short hair, nam soons long hair with the braids was so pretty.The whole cast had great chemistry, the storyline with the heroes and the villains was interesting and entertaining. But there are a few gripes that I had when I was watching the drama.. just a little shade too.
This drama should've been called Strong Woman Geum Joo cuz I felt like the mom had more screen time than nam soon did. Don't get me wrong, the mom was mothering okay, she was fierce and she was that b**ch. I aspire to be like her lol but I just felt like there wasn't enough nam soon and I also feel like they didn't make use of her powerful strength, like when she took the drug towards the end, I would've wrote the script to make the drug infuse with her powers and make her even more stronger and then she beats him to a pulp.
And don't even get me started on the lead couple. In the beginning, they set their story and chemistry up amazing, it was so cute and forward. But then, towards the middle of the drama, there wasn't enough screen time focused on them so it felt like they weren't growing as a couple because they kept focusing the story on catching the villain and every now and then the lead couple would share a quick second together but it didn't flow well because they didn't have enough moments together. This is what made Strong Woman Do Bong Soon so good. Do Bong Soon had the her own predicament with the kidnapping killer but throughout the drama she was with Ahn Min Hyuk for the majority of the drama, so their love story just naturally flowed and it was beautiful. So towards the end of Nam Soon, when they finally focused on them, it didn't feel as satisfying as it could've been. And also, this is another drama where they could've wrapped up the drama way better. I wished they would’ve showed the lead couple going to Mongolia for their honeymoon, the uncle found a woman he liked, Nam soons brother doing his own thing, idk just throwing out unsolicited advice for these writers cuz a lot of endings for dramas could be better like extraordinary attorney woo.. wut was that ending, it was disappointing cuz the rest of the drama was great until the ending.. anyways I digress. How do you guys feel about them potentially doing a strong boy spin off story?
