My completely honest review about strong girl namsoon

**DISCLAIMER** this is only my opinion, you don't have to agree !!
**TRIGGER WARNING** (body shaming, dr*gs, su*cide)

Watched it since it came out, was really excited at first, really liked the first episodes, however, it went downhill from there, it got very messy, and they has many things/issues going on at the same time, and everything was packed.

The ml & fl were very decent and lacked character, the whole character of the female lead is her being cute and innocent, and the fact that she always is in some kind of situation and she can’t do anything on her own without anyone’s help, she doesn't use her power that much, a lot of things about her did not make any sense, i'm not gonna talk about her being raised in Mongolia cause what was that?, many things about that don't make any sense.

The male lead is not appealing enough, i like the actor but they could’ve worked more on the haircut, and his overall personality, if not getting a whole new other actor, his acting was better than his other kdramas but he still lacks a lot in my opinion, some things were too easy and unrealistic, like the fact that she found her family immediately, and the fact that the male lead simply allowed her to join him on a police dr*g mission, that does not make sense at all, they literally just met, the love story lacks a lot, they didn’t confess, they don’t hangout together unless it’s work, overall maybe the worst two characters in the kdrama.

The mom, she’s so hot, her character is hot, she’s rich AND does good in the community, she’s a good person but not to evil people, i likes how she was helping a lot, without her they would've not caught the culprit, she wasn’t nice to her son but she kinda made up for it at the end.

The dad, he’s the nicest, i wish he had more screen time especially with his daughter, the fact that he raised her up but she’s always with her mom is sad.

The brother, it was so sad seeing everyone body shaming him, yes they stopped doing that at the end but at what cost, it’s the sad reality for fat people unfortunately, i liked him, he’s very sweet, and funny.

The uncle, he’s hilarious always made me laugh whenever he was on screen, would've been more fun if he actually got into a relationship with the secretary, i would’ve loved if he was on screen more often.

The grandma, I love her so much, she made me laugh a lot, with her boyfriend, and I guess she was almost the one who used her power the most , but every time she uses it, it’s funny as hell, and the fact that she sacrificed herself for her daughter and grand daughter, that scene was touching.

The dr*gs, they were always inconsistent with the information, and as a viewer there was too much information about it most of it was useless, it was confusing sometimes, and I wished they were actual scenes of the culprits getting punished, or the dr*g addicts and a bit of their stories, they needed more details on that rather than the other information about the investors.

Bread song, his character was funny, but I wish they didn’t drag his whole thing till the end, they could’ve mad his identity and plot deeper.

And finally, the best for the last, the villain Ryu shi oh, the hottest character of all the others, he had a backstory, a deep character, he was honest, he trusted namsoon, he liked her, he tried getting rid of the mafia life, yes he sold dr*gs, he used dr*gs to get stronger, he still didn’t hurt namsoon until he found out she betrayed him, he loved her, treated her nicely, smiled at her and her only, took her everywhere with him, didn’t suspect any of her weird and suspicious behavior, he took her to her house everyday and didn’t leave till she was out of his sight, he told her his secrets, told her his childhood story, he is THE STANDARD.
Only thing he wanted was freedom, I don’t care if people say it’s pretty privilege or whatsoever, he CARRIED, he was the only character that actually had story, he made me sympathize with his character. The fact that he k*lled himself is so sad, he deserved better honestly, maybe another chance, but him k*lling himself was so unfair.
And the fact that in the whole drama him and namsoon didn’t fight…. It ruined the whole thing, it would’ve been so good if they had an actual fight and we could see who’s stronger. I still have a lot to say but I think this is enough lol.

Overall 4/10.
Ryu shi oh gets a 20/10
