Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

If u like to watch strong female with romcom

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews here on this aap. This drama is already famous and beautiful altogether.

(If you're not fan of romantic comedy with female action or mixed genres, pls do not watch it to later criticizing it badly)

(Try to enjoy the romance and humor they has to offer with going all protective)

I've watched it many times just to re-watch the cuteness of the couples.

She tiny, powerful, cute, beats all the bad guys (she's not a bully for teaching a good lesson to bad peoples), falls out of love from her long term crush after ignored for long, both of the couples are really cute, do not criticize for her being not able to control her power in the starting and getting overboard, she's smug which suits her, handling all those powers are not easy.


I only didn't like the character of her mother who's abusive towards her husband. Otherwise everything is fine.

The male lead, first rumoured as gay, but he later clarified his reason, he's cute and head over heals in love with her, smart, handle everything perfectly, a charismatic CEO, supports do bong soon, trains her, wants to protect her even though she's powerful.

The police force is showed useless but the plot needed this to let our three heroes catch the kidnappers.

Super entertaining, fun to watch drama, alone or with friends and family!

It's probably one of the most enjoyable dramas I've ever watched! It doesn't tire you out nor does it feel draggy. The story is very novel and fresh. The characters are well written: funny whilst maintaining a good amount of depth so as to not seem too superficial or fake. Also the comedic element is abundant in this drama without turning it into a farce. It does have a turning point, where the story gets slightly more serious but that does not take anything away from the plot, it rather enriches it and makes it more balanced.
Moreover, the acting is great, the OSTs are beautiful and the chemistry between the leads is remarkable. All in all, it is a really enjoyable and entertaining drama, I'd definitely re-watch it (as I've already done, a couple of times) I strongly recommend it.

First, I was kind of skeptical about this drama. It seemed from the description and the poster as a childish typical drama. But now that I've completed it, I can finally give my own opinion.
I ABSOLUTELY FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS DRAMA !
From the cast to the storyline to the soundtrack, I loved everything about " Strong Woman Do Bong Soon ". The performance of Park Bo Young was fantastic and she just fitted the character. I liked the fact that she kept looking cute and shy while hiding her power. Usually, when I hear a strong woman I picture some bulky girl with a scary intimidating face.
Moreover, the chemistry was attracting. In some episodes, you can mistake them for a real couple. You can see the love that Park Hung Sik bears for his co-star. He nailed the romantic scenes.
Overall, I loved this drama and I recommend it strongly for people who are looking for a different storyline than the typical romantic comedies.

I have been watching dramas for a long time. And Strong Woman Do Bong Soon really comes top on my list. Personally I really loved the plotline. It was unique and refreshing. In most dramas, the female lead tend be a passive role, and it's really hard nowadays to find a drama as refreshing without many cliches. SWDBS with a really "strong" yet cute, female lead played by Park Bo Young, a woman who has strong opinions that stands out and really talented. Though SWDBS has it fair share of flaws, it's good aspects really outshine them. SWDBS is a drama encouraging female empowerment (which is really rare to see)and tackles social issues. It has a considerably good balance between funny/cute/romantic side as well as a dark/mysterious/criminal aspect. The music is really great too, enhancing the mood of the scene and really attracts the viewers. I'd totally recommend this drama and 100% re-watch it.

Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is a comedic show with dark undertones. Some scenes get real dark and also quite graphic. The show can have such a tone shift from being goofy and cute to dark and serious. I'm not so sure if I like this tone shift that much. The show often feels like a kids show or at least a younger audience, but then it can turn real dark at times.

I did not like the story that much. It tries to be mysterious and dark while also just having lots of filler with fluff and goofiness. The thriller parts are okay at best. I think my biggest issue with the plot is that it lacks exciting conflicts. They try having conflicts with the kidnapper, the gang and the love triangle, but the conflicts just don't feel that serious. The series feels slow paced. Many scenes could have been skipped or shortened. I think the slow pace is the shows biggest flaw. It's 16 episodes long, over 1 hour each, and it did not need to be that long. I often felt like just dropping the show just because of its length.

The kidnapper plotline was okay. It was not really mysterious, but it did have some tense scenes. At least this plotline contributed to character development in Do Bong Soon and I felt like it actually served some purpose.

The gang plot was the worst of them all. It was never funny and I was just annoyed whenever there were scenes with the gang. They also did not really contribute any value to the overall story. Additionally, there were just too many gross scenes with the gang. They looked disgusting when they were beat up and did disgusting things. I suppose these scenes was meant to be funny, but they were just repulsive. I would have liked the show more if they just removed the whole gang plotline.

I did enjoy the love triangle, but I kinda wanted a bit more of it. The love triangle also felt a bit plain at times with no real depth. Like we have two dudes fighting over a girl and that's just it. Also the love triangle was really predictable. I knew it from the first episode how the love triangle would develop and who Do Bong Soon would end up together with.

Still, the strongest point in this series is the romance. When the romance really started to take off during the later half of the show it became so much more enjoyable to watch. There were many really cute romance scenes. Just how they act with each other is wholesome and beautiful to watch. They had great chemistry together. They were so adorable to watch that I felt like dying.

I did like the characters, although I found many of them to be quite annoying. But some characters started to grow on me there more I watched the show. I liked Ahn Min Hyuk the most. He had a refreshing personality and were often entertaining to watch. The most annoying character of them all was Oh Dol Pyu. Not only is he a stereotypical gay person which creates a really bad image, he is also a character with literally no redeeming qualities. There is nothing interesting or good about him. He is only there to be annoying and be a small obstacle for Do Bong Soon. His character serve no purpose and could have been easily removed from the show without affecting the plot. He is also sooo loud all the times and painful to watch.

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole Ahn Min Hyuk is gay thing. It's obviously just there for comedy. But because of that Ahn Min Hyuk gives out major bisexual vibes. And also there is no straight explanation as to why Ahn Min Hyuk and In Gook Doo had so much sexual tension. Like especially during the drunk scene. They honestly had good chemistry, which I do not think was the intention of the show.

I also did not like the abusive relationship that Do Bong Soon's parents had. It's only there to be funny, but I did not find it funny.

The show's main theme is comedy, but I often did not really find it to be that funny. There where some funny scenes sure, but mostly the funny scenes felt a bit dragged out or just too silly for my taste. Also, sometimes I'm not sure if I find like the correct things funny. For example I found it hilarious that Ahn Min Hyuk just goes around with a hoverboard while trying to be the coolest person ever. And he also have a hoverboard display in his office. Like that's just hilarious.

The production of the show is good. They clearly had quite a high budget. I don't really have any complains about the acting. It was just good. The show also had quite nice soundtrack with songs that often fit the scenes.

Although I did enjoy the show I just did not get that into it. I feel like it's a bit overrated. It definitely has flaws, but I can also understand why people like it. For me there were many times where I got annoyed at the show and found it uninteresting, but it might also just be not my type of show. I feel like their comedy style was not really my cup of tea. The only reason I give this series a score over 5 is because of the romance, which I really liked.

This series started off well, I actually really enjoyed the super-human strength, family heritage story. I think the comedic/slapstick spin that the show put on it really helped to make the story flow, since we know it's nonsense, it was nice to see that the show knew itself that it was nonsense too and didn't take itself too seriously.
The two lead men in this show are SO HANDSOME. I can't even, honestly. I am more biased towards Ji Soo because he's more my cup of tea (or shot of soju if you will) than Min, but I seriously think both of them are terrific actors and super super good looking. They really did their jobs well.
Bong Soon is a cute girl, and she's a good actress, I just think her character got old really quickly trying to play out all the crazy subplots and twists that this show tried to stuff into the series. Maybe there were too many episodes, that's it. Probably could've taken away 5-8 episodes and closed it strong, but instead it sort of just dragged on with some more unbelievable antics.

All in all, good show, good looking, talented and believable cast (especially the overly-effeminate co-worker), I would recommend watching it if you're not looking for something too story driven, and if you like male eye candy.

If you want a very funny and cute drama with a little mystery, this is it!

This is the first kdrama that comes to my mind when i want to recommend one to an absolute beginner in kdramas. The love story is very cute! I loved the male lead for his funny and loving character! Female lead was so adorable and strong! I loved their relationship from the beginning to the end, the process from friendship to romance . The only thing that I didn't like was the shady parts with the criminal, but I guess that they were necessary for the plot. I liked so much the supporting characters too! They were hilarious at times. If I were to watch it again, I would do this, although I don't watch dramas or movies twice, but I would skip all the criminal parts. If you want a cute love story with a lot of comedy, you should totally watch this!

my favorite drama

i don't understand why a lot of people don't like this.. it has to be the best thing i've watched. it can be too much for some people who like simple story lines, but this drama has it all. like it has romance, thrills, horror, and is even funny. when i first watched it i fell in love. the actors are so perfect for the characters that i legit could not imagine do bong soon or ahn min hyuk as anyone else. the chemistry between them is just so eeeeek. theyre so cute!! i felt extreme second lead syndrome for like a few of the episodes. the ost is also so good. all of the songs have been in my playlist for a few years now and i never skip them, expecially heartbeat by suran! i've watched this drama 9-10 times, and i always feel the emotions everytime! my favorite part in the whole drama is when do bong soon saved gyeong shim the first time from the bad guy. it was so emotional and i couldnt stop crying. i have to admit, the bad guy was smart when he took gyeong shim instead of hee ji, the first time i watched it i was so shocked. the one thing bad thing i would say about this is i don't really like that they never showed in gook doo having a happy ending, he is a main character so i would like something about him. maybe it ends in my first first love haha!
anyway, this is one of THE best dramas i have ever watched. i'm legit watching it right now too lol. it has such a good story, and i would recommend this to people who love a good romance and thriller!!!
