Story
The entire plot and motive of the people who wrote it is just laughable. Strong Woman was a Rom-Com show that was supposed to be all lovey dovey cute between the two leads but then they added the theme of having a serial killer to be the driving force of the show. Nevermind the show being about a woman who has super strength; it's a fucking rom-com! Why the fuck do you have to mix it with a thriller theme? They could've just made the show about the everyday struggles of a woman with super strength has; could be about those who are starting to like her, suddenly despising her because of her powers. Or some people before use her for good, thus why she shuns out people. I can think of a lot more ways the plot could've gone simpler, and 10x better than this fucked up Rom-Com x Thriller theme. And since we're at it, the thriller theme of the show also failed miserably. The main villain of the entire show was just a washed-up lunatic who somehow has a lot of resources from unexplained reasons and starts kidnapping women all because he is addicted to a play. I mean seriously, my 4 year-old nephew would've done a better job of telling a story he thought of. I think the director and the writers really just wanted to mix 2 genres to become unique and successful like While You Were Sleeping, a Legal/Crime + Fantasy and it was awesome. Another example is Descendants of the Sun which was a Melodrama + Medical, and although I personally think that it wasn't that great, I still loved it. The end product of mixing Romance(Comedy) and Thriller is destined to suck already even at first glance. It just doesnt make sense.
Acting
The acting really made up for a really shitty story. Strong Woman was rated so high and received so well by people mainly because of the electric chemistry between Park Bo Young, Park Hyung Sik, and Ji Soo. Park Bo Young was cute and adorable in almost every scene; Park Hyung Sik was funny and appealing in most of the scenes; Ji Soo was straightforward and tense like a true cop is. When added together, they made a show with a really shitty story become a respectable one. Props to the supporting cast as well! Kim Won Hae was funny as hell in the two roles he played.
OST
A nice, respectable OST. Fitted the scenes well and made my heart follow the beat
Overall
If you're someone who wants to watch a chill Rom-Com, then this show isn't for you. Trust me, while it seems that you're up for a generally chill ride, you'll suddenly find tense characters who are determined to catch a psychopath who somehow is rich and smart. If you can withstand that, then you can probably enjoy the cast
