Not as strong as I expected it to be
Its prequel, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, left a strong impression on me as a casual rom-com enjoyer. As soon as a sequel was announced, I highly anticipated the drama since I believed they could give me another well-fine quality production. Which, they perfectly delivered during the first few episodes but the show lacked creative progress to the main storyline during the middle portion of its airing period.
Their comedy entertained me at some point but not by the rest of its elements. I can’t feel any romance lingering in my emotions towards the main couple. Byeon Woo Seok saves the whole show from falling apart. His character is very devilish but his appearance leads me to set aside his evil nature and focus on his fine-acting execution. The supporting characters are doing good but aren’t that capable of catching my whole attention.
I feel like the production will push through another sequel of the strong girl storylines but I wish that they give more time to flourish the script with a right balance of fantasy and reality. Nam Soon feels bland as the show's protagonist and I wanted someone who can deliver the story as what Do Bong Soon does in the prequel. I can’t help but to compare the two shows. Although, I still salute the sequel for a fine job of continuing to nourish the well-loved prequel drama.
