Strong Girl Bong Soon

This was a fun show to watch. It made me mad, happy, sad and feel basically all the emotions in a good way of course. I loved the main girl she was good. She was very strong every time a person got on her bad side she head sure that she kicked them really badly and made sure they got hurt. All the actors and actresses were really good at this show. This show is also empowering to women to let them know that they can be strong and the hero if they want to be. I loved this show a lot it is very good to show. I loved the scene where her brother who a doctor told her to stop beating people up becuse there was no more room for people she had beaten up to be there. I would recommend this is anyone no matter if they're new to Asian drama or been watching them for years.

Funny, Disturbing, Frustrating

This drama is a bit complicated since I liked it especially due to it being so funny time to time, making me laugh a lot, but at the same time the main romantic relationships frustrated me. I am not happy with the man she ends up with. It was really heartbreaking to watch her relationship go downward with the other person and made me really mad even. What makes it even worse is that the couple acts in a too cute way and makes you smile even if you're not happy with the pairing.

The crime that's being solved was quite disturbing time to time and I wouldn't recommend to watch the series before going to bed as it might make more sensitive audience too restless.

This was my 3rd Korean drama and I was glad it was so good.
Loved:
* Actors - good acting, cute
* OST - the songs have been on my playlist for many months now
* Romantic tension was just right

Didn't love:
* Several plot lines. They had a purpose but sometimes it dragged and when I was vested in one story it switched to another story
* Poor 2nd lead. I don't know why I still feel some type of way about this.
* The mom - she was abusive, it wasn't funny and didn't add to the story.

I got my daughter's friend hooked on the show and got an earful from the parents because she was watching so much tv. We thought it was worth it.

Fun superhero story with both action and romance

I loved this drama so much! Ended up binge watching it over a few days and am so glad I finally caved in, after years of having people recommend it to me.

The entire story is very light humoured, and the absurdity of some scenes just add to it. The "role reversal" of the lead characters (incredibly strong and small woman protecting the man, who's more fragile than her) didn't feel over done, and both lead men were so respectful towards her. There wasn't a moment in which I felt that they saw her as anything other a great girl, never really looking at her like a "superhero", which helped humanize that superpower storyline.

The editing and the songs were fun, too, and so many of the characters were hilarious. That actor that plays two characters is phenomenal, and I'm pretty sure I laughed until my belly hurt in every single one of his scenes.

I definitely feel that this drama is a hit or miss depending on the style of humor that the viewer has, but it worked perfectly for me, so I'd definitely recommend it. And I'll be keeping an eye on this cast when I choose my next dramas, too. :-)

Everything about it is beautiful

‼️ WARNING: THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS BUT NOT IN A OBVIOUS WAY ‼️

Story: Although there are still some things in the drama that aren’t explained very well, like how did the power the woman in Bong-Soon family, or how did she gained her powers again after losing them. Obviously i do have some theories it would be good if they could give us more explanations about it. The story itself is good, some things about the culprit also wasn’t explained very well but that’s okay since he was a psychopath he could have done it without having a real meaning behind his actions. The story for me is 9.5/10, everything is very sweet and cute love it.
Acting/Cast: 10/10. Everyone performed their characters very well, including the villain. The actors absolutely made us fall in love with every character and it was very well done.
OST: 10/10, loved the background songs it made every scene more beautiful and real.
More general information: This was my second korean drama, and i deeply love it. The ending for me was cute but I was expecting to see some interaction between Bong-Soon and her babies, also i understood that what she wanted was to protect people with her power but it kinda of made me sad that she probably no long produces games like she originally wanted to do, but i guess that’s just character development and the maturity she gains during the drama. Another thing that i absolutely loved was the love development between the main couple, it’s really sweet to see them falling in love specially Bong-Soon. Another thing that’s absolutely cute it’s the way Guk-Do realizes he’s in love with his best friend, and also realizes he no longer can have her and instead of acting like a dickass, he understands it and only wishes for her happiness and also wants them to stay friends forever. One of my favorite scenes is when MinHyuk says he won’t leave BongSoon side even if it means he’s also going to die, it’s beautiful and it’s also when they both understand the deep love that exists between themselves. It’s also beautiful and absolutely cute how they “consume” their relationship lmao i loved that episode.
Overall it’s a really good drama, would recommend it, it has an happy ending, it’s really funny, absolutely laughed a lot during the episodes, it also has some triggered scenes so be aware of that.

An Interesting Rom-Com

STRONG WOMAN DO BONG SOON (2017) is a sweet Korean drama with silly yet thoughtful portrayals of gender and gender roles. While it is a romantic comedy, it certainly has its tender and sad moments as well.

"Do Bong-soon is a woman born with superhuman strength that comes from the long line of women possessing it. When Ahn Min Hyuk, the CEO of ainsoft, a gaming company witnesses her strength he hires her as his personal bodyguard."

Overall, this was a cute drama. It was funny and sweet, and at times touching. Recommended for fans of romantic kdramas and outrageous comedic situations. Cute and funny!

slapstick humor, easy watching

I laughed so much while watching this and enjoyed it thoroughly. Park Bo Young is such a versatile actress and even though I am not a fan of love triangles somehow I will still watch and enjoy them if she’s apart of the show. This is an easy must watch for anyone who enjoys a little bit of slapstick and a little bit of mystery. Although it may be a little plain if watched right after a great series or movie, I found it to be a welcome relief in between the melodrama or action suspense series. It was digestible, most of the humor landed for me and it was just a touch romantic. I would recommend this to someone who likes to laugh and who needs a break from the intense shows but not to someone who wants depth and intrigue.

This was the first drama I ever watched and have fallen in love with these stories since then. I love how such a heartwarming story can have a lot to give to its audience. From cute and cheesy moments to darker ones when you don't want to see the characters suffer. I think it's important to point out that this show has its fair share of creepy moments because it took me by surprise, nobody warned me about this.
The storyline was messy at some points and I'm not sure I liked the end, didn't make much sense for me. But overall, I enjoyed the main leads acting, they were so cute together and they are to blame for my unrealistic expectations regarding relationships.

I did not think that I would love the drama as much as I did...This drama's plot was very unique and was fun to watch though the gene included thriller...(but it made it interesting i promise). The female main main lead Do Bong Soon (played by Park Bo-Young) is one of those iconic characters that won't be forgotten. Bong Soon was fearless, EXTREMELY STRONG and had an adorable bubbly personality. The male main lead was very charming and sweet. Their chemistry together was out of this world as if they were a real couple!!! I loved how their acting became natural over time went on....definitely worth watching and would recommend.

I was waiting for the leading lady's comeback since oh my ghost. And though the beginning of this drama was a killer, the ending lost most of its charm and ended up a cheesy rom com. Thankfully, there was the serial killer case that at least kept it refreshing and interesting. Honestly, the main idea of a girl having the super power of strength kind of scared me off this drama, especially after having watched weight lifting fairy straight before it (felt like a rip off). However, I gave in and watched the first episode and I was immediately hooked. The girl was very cute, the guy funny, the second lead interesting and the serial killer case thrilling. That was until they became a couple. The drama shifted its attention from the girl's powers and quest of justice to the development of the romance. Okay, the couple was cute together, but some more twists on the criminal case would have been nice. One other thing that bothered me about this drama was the constant advertisements. Most of the dramas do it smoothly and some of them even hide them so good that you can't tell if they are promoting a product or not. But this one just had some unnecessary scenes simply for the purpose of advertising. If that had happened once or twice, it would have been tolerated, but there were scenes in most of the episodes. So, 6 out of 10.

REWATCHED FOR 3 TIMES IN A ROW?!

Hello!
This drama is one of the most famous drama from South Korea. I watched this drama back in 2017. I found out ''Park Hyung Sik'' from 'Hwarang' and eventually fell for him. Later discovered this drama, which was on air that time! Let me tell you straight if you haven't tried this yet! This is a MUST WATCH DRAMA if you're into the genres like 'rom-com, super power, fantasy, female power, suspense' etc. The drama gives you whole vibe and make you groove from the starting to the ending. We won't fall for the 2nd lead thankfully here. Don't even think, this is the continuation of 'weightlifting fairy', cause both the storylines are different and not even similar!!Yes, as you read from the title, I watched this on 2017, again on 2018, 2019 and now 2021! Still I would love to watch again. You won't regret! Just go for this drama. ALL THE BEST!
