Why is everyone giving this a bad review?

I really don't understand why people are saying they don't like it. It is a fun watch tbh funny characters and a cute concept. The story did not go the way I thought it would go. Some stuff was dragged on which could have been used to introduce the already had characters better which would not have left so much confusion at the end of the series.


Unanswered Questions
- Why was Bread song real self contained till literally the last 5 minutes of the drama, was he really laundering money, is he the new mafia boss?
- who was the guy giving Geum Joo all the intel?
- the detective asked about the phone and its tracking but nothing happened.
- In ep 16 who was the woman geum joo visited and does her son have super strength too? is there gonna be another one but for guys?

too many unanswered questions and I don't think there will be a part 2.

Nothing is more dangerous than the delulu fangirls!

First of all, let's be clear! Not liking something is fine, but hate it for the SAME reason why you LOVED another show, is just DUMB as hell! You can read my review about Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, and you'll know what I mean.

All I can say, is that BOTH show is pretty much the same! Likable female leads, and basically every (mostly female) character is acting like a 5 year old. The ONLY thing that is better in Strong Girl Nam-Soon is the VFX! The story (in both) is the most basic thing you can see in your life. Predictable and sometimes too much and over the top. Especially in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. As much as I LOVE Park Bo Young, and Bong Soon with Min Hyuk, their romance was like it was written by a 12 year old girl. If I'm being honest, Nam Soon and Hee Shik's relationship was more mature. Not to mention, he wasn't a typical pretty boy, either. I'm honestly fed up with the same love stories where the girl is in love with a guy who's a GQ model. It's not realistic at all and boring. That being said, one of the best thing in SGNS was the 3rd episode with Bong Soon and Min Hyuk.

The reason I liked both show is that the main actors were great, and they carried the whole show. I could tear the story apart into pieces if I want to, because it was so dumb (again, in both show) I can't even describe it. But when the creators know that it's "bad" for a reason, it makes it better. Both show is like a parody. What makes SGNS story better is that the main villain is actually acting like a villain, and you can take him seriously. While in SWDBS he was a JOKE! Also, in Nam-Soon there wasn't too much filler either.

There's nothing much to say about this show, really, because it's fun if you're not thinking about the story at all, a typical guilty pleasure.

I don't want to offend anyone, but I read some review and comments, and most of them were said, it's so sad that they killed off Shi Oh, and he should've been with Nam Soon. Most of you only hate this show because you can't put aside your fangirl brain. The guy literally murdered hundreds of people, but you want him to be with Nam Soon, because you think he's a pretty boy? And people like those saying this a crap show.

So, in short, Strong Girl Nam-Soon, like its predecessor, it's a dumb show, but still fun if you won't take it seriously.
Lastly, I honestly think the creators should make a team-up in season 3 with Bong Soon and Nam-Soon, I didn't like that they made some random guy strong too.

Amazing to spread awareness of drugs if it reached the right audience in the right way

I understand that they wanted to bring up the issue of drugs and spread some awareness, all the suffering it causes because it was really disturbing seeing people getting addicted to them and behaving senselessly under its impact.
But it is really an immature action by the writing and directing team for making the role of the drug dealer oh-so glamorous and pitiful to create discussions and mixed opinions. Because, rather than understanding the main importance of the drama, those unnecessary scenes of the so-called romance and chemistry and his past has diverted the attention to the villian.

Every person has a hard life but what makes heroes and villains polar apart is that heroes feel content by being selfless and helping others, and we humans are not capable of being as selfless as them because we are not perfect and selfless as them. But villains are villains because they value their emotions more than others and moral conduct. We people have both good and bad in us, but what eventually makes us good or bad is what we decide to follow despite how our life has been. Modern-day romanticisation of villains and evil characters has become extreme. In modern times, it is taught that it is ok to not be ok and to have flaws, but I don't understand how a person is able to forgive an evil man after all his wrong doings.
Has everyone clearly forgotten basic humanity, treating him like a total victim by considering all the people he had affected just for his business as pigs for slaughter. Like do they not have a life and family too? What is so important in this man that he can affect and kill people just like that as if they are minfless dirt under his shoes?
Yes, he had a traumatizing past that no one should ever experience, but what gives him the right to give such an experience to everyone around him?

I can understand if fans find the cast's acting cringy because they just want the female idol to be a relatable, hopless romantic, funny person and fall for the handsome, charming male lead and have lots of chemistry. But this drama is not the typical romance drama that you are looking for. The actual male lead of the drama is a true hero who protected the female lead, helped her when in need, trully cared for, while the villian only found her as an asset because of her powers, testing her for her limits, plotting her family's murder, threatening her with drugs. But people find this to be true love and call her out for betraying him... I mean, what else could she have done instead? What would you have done? Would you also abandon your loving and caring parents for a druggie and drug dealer who is anyday ready to kill people and treat you torturously if you disappoint them?

I’m sorry but overrated

The beginning was good and as people said it has so much potential. I love the foundation of the story (some were a bit unrealistic but it was acceptable since this is a comical superpower show like its preceding season.) With that being said, I am not comparing the two, I can’t even remember the plot of the first one, except that I enjoyed it.

My main thoughts about this is that they tried to squeeze in TOO MANY for 16 episodes. Too packed that you don’t even understand what’s going on anymore.

My first ‘eyebrow raise’ moment was when she met her mom for the first time. They were reunited after almost 20 years, crying and hugging, then suddenly they were talking about something random? Then even her reunion with the rest of the family was too underwhelming, they moved on too fast. Right away she was onto this spy mission, and you can barely see her with her family. She was lost for a long time and NOW you found her and that’s it?

They’re moving too fast with the scenes that the emotions aren’t showing enough of what it’s so supposed to show BUT it’s draggy at the same time. (Idk how to explain,, that’s how I felt).

The mom is annoying too I AM SORRY. I love that she’s living “FOR A CAUSE” but she’s like a bulldozer, she doesn’t think first before taking actions. And sometimes she do things that aren’t smart and even IF they are smart it doesn’t sound and look smart. 🙈 Her character is too comical. Imo

There’s too much going on that the story is all over the place. Even her homeless friend have been gone for 2 episodes or so, and now the grandfather is back…and received a surgery…for what?

I wish they had skipped some of these funny scenes to just make a more wholistic story because HONESTLY, I don’t know WHY the grandma’s role is there, what is her role’s essence in the storyline?

I know I haven’t finished the whole thing yet. I WILL be finishing it because I am still curious. The only way I’d change my mind about this is if they’ll be able to tie up everything properly at the end.

I don't get it

So for some crazy reason everyone is Shitting on this drama which happens to actually be my favorite... specially the cliff hanger in the end.

The acting was quite good along with the chosen cast BUT PLEASE STOP MAKING VILLAINS HOT.

The end was cute I love that everything worked out yeah kinda a cliche but still worth the watch don't pay attention to all the bad reviews cause those people didn't fully watch it in order to understand the picture you need to watch the full thing.

Actual buns.

This is my opinion and pg so leave me alone if you don't agree.

Ts was actually so ass. it was cute at first, but i couldn't help but think of the second lead as a better pair, even though in reality that not even true lmfaoo.

I would give it lower like a three, but i don't wanna disrespect the first few eps and byeon woo soek. LOL.

Seriously don't want bruh.

Better than expected

Byeon Woo-seok is definitely the most eye catching thing about this show but overall I don't think it deserves all these low ratings. Story wise, it isn't as good as it's predecessor, but enjoyable enough. BW does a great job as the villain Ryu Shi-o. He manages to not fall into the pit of a 2D bad guy and his character was better written than that of Gang Nam-soon whose overly bright personality just got on my nerves after awhile.

BW really shows his range here as the character is a million mile away from his role in Lovely Runner. Wearing tailored suits and a menacing glare, there is no doubt he's a dangerous killer, but you are also given insights as to why he is like he is. He deserved a better ending to his story, but what got me about it was Ryu Shi-o was an intelligent character, but really it was so obvious Gang Nam-soon was a spy. She barely tried to hide it, which was something he surely would have noticed day 1.

Well…

I mean it’s exactly as what’d you’d expect especially if you watched strong woman do bongsoon first.

Personally I found this show pretty entertaining but I felt really sorry for the villain Ryo Shio. I wish they would’ve given him a happy ending honestly.

There isn’t much for me to touch on, I think the show was really silly at times and funny but I guess that’s the genre it is in general.

I think they made nam soon a little too much hyper and quirky and made it a bit cringe.

The cop was cute but compared to Ryo Shio he didn’t seem to have much of a personality…Or maybe I just inevitably choose villains over heroes but!

Overall I actually would LOVE a season 2 because of the cliffhanger at the end. So you’re telling me there’s a guy with the power too? Such a good plotwist.

I would love to meet the new character! However i’m not sure if this show will get renewed but who knows, it only recently ended.

It’s a quirky show really, same premise as the OG, nothing special. But cute and good for keeping you entertained when bored.

This show was a disappointment

The drama wasn't executed properly, Guem ju, Nam Soon s mother had more screen than namsoon herself, at some point it felt like I was watching the show of namsoon s mother, the main leads's chemistry wasn't great either nam soon and Kang Hee Sik barely spent time together, tbh namsoon spent more time w ryu si o. The drama is really confusing the storyline is messed up, and they r many useless characters with no purpose.Plus Namsoon s grandmother and her boyfriend were really cringe.
Well overall in the end this drama was watchable and funny,
You can watch it if you want to but it's a okay okay drama👍🏽

C'était bien parti mais c'est décevant.

Je poste seulement pour relâcher un peu la déception que fut ce drama. Au début vraiment l'ambiance loufoque m'a fait accroché, rappelant l'univers de Strong Woman, le personnage de Namsoon vraiment cute et le couple prévisible mais adorable. J'ai bien aimé le fait que toute la famille soit impliqué et le développement des personnages de la mère et de la grand mère.

Dans un second temps l'infiltration, et c'est là que tout a dérapé pour moi. On en apprend plus sur le méchant de l'histoire, et le fait se rapprocher de Namsoon. Cet homme froid et cruel s'ouvre seulement à elle et on découvre que sous cette facette se trouve un homme brisé et traumatisé par son passé. J'ai trouvé ça extrêmement décevant que notre héroïne se retrouve dans la position de celle qui va porter le coup de grâce à cet homme ayant été trahi toute sa vie. Je ne parlerai même pas de la fin de celui ci qui était vraiment la pire que j'aurais pu imaginer. Au final le méchant a été selon moi le personnage le plus construit et le plus humain malgré qu'il ai mal tourné et l'héroïne s'est retrouvé à n'avoir aucune empathie pour lui en le trahissant ouvertement sans aucun remord.

Un drama au final pas à la hauteur de son prédécesseur et décevant.

Well i won't surpass the first 1 i assure u that

First of all the story is lacking i mean they have this great cast but what the ML and FL fall in love likie in the first 2-3 episode just like that no chemistry btwn them whatsoever just like that the camera pauses for 3 seconds they in love really, which means there is no chance 4 the second ML i mean he seems to be in the dark which unbelievable by the way that he doesnt know the girls real identity, its not there are alot of strong women in the country so what is the writer trying to do here make it a big reveal in later episodes that's bullshit they villain is well connected too he can easily find out about that anyway i didn't spoil anything im still skimming through when other episodes come out just so u know this remake wint catch up to the original i mean u gonna be in it up to episode 4 a feel like it hasn't started i watched the recent episode I'm still waiting for it to start this lame

Watch the drama first

I'm currently watching episode 16, and I wanted to see if there are any reviews regarding the bad Russian the actors are speaking, but I found nothing like that, only bad reviews. It's kind of shocking since I liked it. It was the first drama in which I really didn’t care who the main female lead chooses in the end and really enjoyed the drama itself. When you come across this drama, you see that it has many main leads, so it’s obvious that it will have multiple storylines. Overall, I can say that it’s not one of my favorites, and I definitely wouldn’t watch it again, but for the first time watching it, I am satisfied. Sometimes I was really happy, and then I cried. For me, it was a rollercoaster of emotions. And actually, what I wanted to say is you can try watching it and see for yourself if you like it or not. The fact that I would recommend this drama, and I saw that others don’t, makes me believe that I shouldn’t trust all the reviews out there because mine could be different.
