GIRL POWER, YO!
Full disclosure, I am a female gamer and I freaking love shows with powerful female leads and video games. This drama is one of my absolutely favorites, I've seen it twice and I incredibly rarely ever re-watch shows. The lead actress is ADORABLE. The lead actor is ADORABLE. I like them together so much, they play off each other really well. It's refreshing, to me, to have a male lead that's more about being cute and silly and less about being brooding and aloof and a total dick.I think the best part of this show was combining the super emotional female with the super strong female. That is so relatable to me. Even on my stronger days when I'm feeling most triumphant and like a total badass I might burst into tears over the dumbest stuff. The lead character is like that too. You get to watch her beat the ever loving crap out of bad guys, but she's emotional and weak sometimes too. As a side note...have you literally EVER seen a chick cry that cutely? It was like watching a cartoon kitten cry crocodile tears.
The comedy in this show is top-notch. It's hilarious watching this tiny cute child-like woman punch a dude and then make little sympathetic noises and apologize and then hit him again. It's so entertaining. It's like watching a 2-week old kitten smack a bulldog. The male lead is hilarious too, his constant good natured trolling and pranks are super fun to watch. Together their chemistry is outstanding.
The side characters in this drama are so well done. Kim Won Hae is exceptional in literally every drama ever, but in this one he plays two comedic supporting characters masterfully. The entire group of gangsters is fun to watch. The group of school-aged street thugs is fun to watch. There are SO MANY supporting characters and they do such a good job developing each one individually. The lead antagonist is excessively creepy and I would love to have seen him get the living crap beat out of him about 20 more times during the show...but that probably means it's really well acted if I hate him that much right?
The only character I actually didn't like at all in the drama, AT ALL, and could have done without was Kwon Hyuk-Soo as the weird fake Indian monk guy. The acting was SO SO bad and nothing he did was remotely entertaining. He added no value to the show at all. The voice he used and the gestures he made were offensively flamboyant in a way that Kim Won Hae's gender fluid tech lead character was absolutely the opposite of. I literally hated everything about this monk dude and wouldn't have minded him getting a little smack in the face at some point.

It tried to be too much.
Okay, boy do I have a lot to say about this drama.The first thing that comes to my mind is how jarring it is to have such a fluffy storyline with Bong-soon and Min-hyuk, then have a super terrifying psycho as a villain. He's a solid villain, loved the acting, but it just ruined the show's tone for me. Why did he have to be there? The show tried to combine too many elements and it just didn't work in the end.
Speaking of "why did he have to be there", the entire plotline with the shit-eating mafia boss was just. Not it. It became annoying, and it was the first time I had to skip scenes from a drama. Totally unnecessary and weird.
I wasn't sold on Bong-soon and Min-hyuk at the beginning, but I grew to like them as the show went on. Gook-do had zero chemistry with Bong-soon and I just found him misogynistic and annoying. Park Bo-young and Park Hyung-sik did excellent jobs though, especially PBY. She was the cutest little bean.
I also loved Kim Won-hae in this, he was hilarious.
I didn't like the ending they had for Min-hyuk. They basically made him like Bong-soon's father, which is not good at all. It was such a good relationship, why'd they have to ruin it in the end?
The OST grew on me but I didn't find myself listening to it after the drama (which I tend to do to ease my post-drama sadness). So unfortunately it does not slap. I haven't tried rewatching it yet, I didn't find myself wanting to. It dragged on for a while when I was watching, though. Very slow.
Overall, it's good but not great. I can see why people like it so much, but maybe some of it just wasn't for me.
(This is just my opinion, no one's obligated to care about it. I just needed to talk about dramas somewhere :')

NÃO DEIXEM DE ASSISTIR POR CONTA DESSA AVALIAÇÃO
O casal é fofo demais, não tem para bater no quesito fofura até hoje, dá vontade de levar os 2 para casa. Lindos demais. Foi muito divertido de assistir, não deixou pontas soltas, os secundários eram interessantes, os capangas do mal então? Eram divertidos demais! A mão dela, como eu ri das conversas com a mão dela hahahahah... Não teve nenhum momento que a história se arrastou, o final foi lindo demais e muito gratificante. Fiquei com medo do vilão, o que é bom, por que enquanto você ria de um lado se arrepiava do outro, foi um ótimo equilíbrio. Super acreditei no romance deles, fofíssimos. Deixou saudades.Então por que 7,5? Não me emocionei (o que acho importante), o casal secundário não ficou junto e não teve motivos para isso, literalmente, apenas se juntaram e depois não deu certo e se separaram... Achei meio perda de "tempo de tela", e não teve plot.
NÃO DEIXEM DE ASSISTIR POR CONTA DESSA AVALIAÇÃO, eu gostei muito desse dorama, mesmo, a avaliação aqui é referente ao quão "completo" ele foi, não somente no quesito de gostar.

this drama is hilarious and the couple is super adorable and cute...
Strong Woman Bo Dong Soon is about a woman with super strength (Park Bo Young) who becomes the bodyguard to an eccentric chaebol heir (Park Hyung Shik). A love triangle develops between them and the woman’s longtime friend (Ji Soo) who is now a police detective on the hunt for a serial kidnapper.Strong Woman Do Bong Soon was a fun drama that mixed in romantic comedy along with darker crime elements. It has some issues, but with a main couple that will leave you with a cheesy grin on your face episode after episode, they are the reason to watch this drama.
Park Bo Young plays our strong woman Do Bong Soon. She’s so tiny and is about as cute as can be! Park Bo Young really brings this character to life with her comedic abilities as well as being so completely endearing. Bong Soon is an easy character to root for and connect with.
Park Hyung Shik is our eccentric chaebol heir who runs a software company. When he discovers Bong Soon’s ability, he immediately hires her as his bodyguard. Little did he know that he would fall head over heels for her. And if you like a leading man that dotes upon his lady and displays all kinds of cuteness, look no further than Park Hyung Shik!
Ji Soo plays In Gook Doo. He’s a long-time friend of Bong Soon’s who she has harbored a crush on since middle school. Now a police detective, he’s on the hunt for a criminal who is abducting young women. And it’s his concern for Bong Soon’s safety that finally brings his feelings for her to the surface.
We then have the crime side of the drama which gives us a little excitement and some thrills. There are definitely some pretty dark elements involving the abducted women. The kidnapper is pretty creepy, and the women go through some quite difficult and scary things.
Despite some shortcomings, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon did end up being a very fun drama overall. Park Hyung Shik and Park Bo Young are both adorable individually as well as together. As I mentioned earlier, they are the reason to watch this drama.
The main story is good, though it suffered from a lack of development and uneven pacing. There is plenty of humor as well as a few thrills to keep things exciting. So overall, Strong Woman Do Bong Soon was more than enjoyable and left me with mostly good feelings.

ultimate "girl crush" to the max
This drama is the ultimate "girl crush" to the max. Slap Stick display of strength and a cute love story. Abit of thriller elements thrown in. Don't forget the love triangles too. One of the better Park Bo Young comedic roles. Supported well by the surrounding charactersA common kdrama storyline. But stay for the chemistry and the funny moments. Not your usual Kdrama
A reverse prince charming story
Lovable, adorable and strong Park Bo Young. And with 2 handsome male leads for the girls to drool over.

A must watch for romance fans
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is definitely one of my favorite love stories and the romance is definetely the reason to watch it. The story is interesting enough but nothing amazing, I think they made a good job balancing romance, comedy and thriller for the most part. Although funny, the slapstick humor is bit too much sometimes. Also, some sensitive themes like domestic abuse and homossexuality could've been handled better, but overall the plot is decent and with a good pacing.The entire cast does a pretty good job with their acting, however the protagonists are the highlight of this show. Bong Soon sets herself apart from most female leads for being not just emotionally, but physycally strong. Not gonna lie, though, she was a bit too childish and had very unrealistic expectations when demanding a job she wasn't qualified for, but I managed to look past that.
Park Hyung Sik really shines in his role here. Min Hyuk is funny, smart and captivating, there's no way you won't fall in love with him. His chemistry with the fl is out of this world, I was actually surprised the actors didn't date in real life. Their relationship is certainly the best part about the drama and they have very cute moments with great kiss scenes.
Also, a shoutout to the scene where the trio (Min Hyuk, Bong Soon and Gok Doo) team up against the villain in the end, they all looked super badass!
This drama is really gripping and entertaining with a fantastic love story, however it's not for overyone. If you are a hardcore fan of rom-coms, though, definitely go for it.

I can see the appeal, but it wasn't for me
Strong Woman Do Bong Soon is a classic, but it didn't quite do it for me. I loved the show at first — Park Hyungsik and Park Bo Young have "it," you know? And the dialogue was laugh-out-loud funny! But around the halfway mark, the show started to drag for me... to the point that I was falling asleep in EVERY SINGLE EPISODE. There was just so much fluff and filler! I could've done without the entire gangster, temple, young thug, and neighbourhood ahjumma storylines.Wait a second, that's almost all the show, isn't it? But wait, I disliked the whole serial killer premise too! It was so scary and unnecessarily at odds with the rest of this cheery show. I understood why we had it — without that plotline, we'd just have an entire show of episode 16 (the princess saves Min Min and they live happily ever after). And yes, I fell asleep for part of the fluffy last episode too. The scenes at Ahn Min Hyuk's place were my favourite. I finally got to see the ICONIC giggly bed texting scene in all its glory!
I disliked how Do Bong Soon was largely helpless for a lot of the show, despite her strength. I recognize the police were intentionally painted as incompetent, but CEO Ahn Min Hyuk felt too helpless too. C'mon dude, use your goodies, resources, and tricks! He did (eventually), but for the longest time, I couldn't believe that he wasn't able to catch the villain. Also, what happened to Ahn Min Hyuk's whole family storyline? That felt weirdly open to me, unless I just missed something (not only did I fall asleep in half the episodes, but I also took a looooong break before finally finishing this show today).
Watch this show for the actors. They click, they're fun, and they're charming. Park Bo Young couldn't cry well. But if you can look past that, the characters are absolutely endearing.

Don't Judge a Book by it's Cover...
Imagine Superman was a tiny woman and cue the hilarity that is Strong Woman Do Bong Soon. Whilst navigating her way in a patriarchal world where appearance is king; what gives her self-assurance & confidence stems from her strength, in not needing a man to physically protect her. Park Bo-young makes for a refreshing FL in not being a conventional weak beauty. We can actually see ourselves in her. I have to admit that this started out with a 10 rating which gradually fell short. At the beginning it is fast-paced and strikes the perfect balance between physical comedy & thriller. The graphics are on-point and the dialogue is snappy. I do get the overall impression that this series was made for a young audience hence the vulgarity in parts. You know her & Park Hyung-sik are made for each other when they start arguing like an old-married couple from the start, they really are one of the cutest couples I've ever seen. However, there is a turning point where the gay gags are just overdone and cease to be funny. Kim Won-hae who was tremendous in the beginning for some reason gets drafted into playing his own doppelganger which does him no favours at all. The Indian guru turning out to be a Korean con man is also a completely futile attempt to inject some juice into the flagging narrative. I am really quite miffed that such an amazing series left me with a bitter aftertaste due to being stretched out to the standard 16 weeks. I hope the KIndustry is learning from Netflix that it's ok to leave it at 12 or less episodes!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I love how the story is not made to be believable at all. Everything is exaggerated but to the right amount that the show doesn't annoy you.
The romantic story of the lead couple is cute and it's refreshing watching a drama where the male is visibly and obviously in love with the woman.
The cast is impeccable! All of them!
Music is meh, not memorable at all
This is definitely a show you would want to watch again.
