Honestly, this show was able to pull on my heartstrings harder than most of the previous shows I watched. It was cute and had some light comedy, but what made it give me a lasting impression was the romance. In fact, the romance was so adorable that I won't be surprised if I find myself on YouTube rewatching certain scenes so that I can fall in love again. But hey...... there is more to this show than just romance. A few other disappointing elements...
Story 〆(・∀・＠): This is where the majority of my problems lay: the story. In short, the story was extremely messy at first. So much was happening to so many different characters, and you just had to follow along. Not that it was necessarily confusing since each plot point was straightforward, but it instead started to hurt the show in the long run. Because of all the side stories, the writers had to try and wrap them up to make way for the main plot. But that instead just left us with unsatisfying closures and a plethora of characters that have nothing to do. It's these very unwanted characters that stopped the show from being much higher on my list. When a side-characters story is over, they just hover around and do stupid things to try and keep the comedy alive. In the beginning, the humor was so strong. I haven't burst out laughing as many times as I had during the first few episodes (a major feat since I don't consider myself someone who laughs a lot). But as the show went on, some parts got heavier to match the darker plot. Yet to the writers, that just seemed like a call to add as much humor as they possibly can. So now we get needed characters doing stupid things that neither farther the plot or keep you interested. It was a huge downer and bored me so many times. I would have brought the story score down much more if it wasn't for the main couple. They were the most well-written and sweetest little things! Everything they did was so meaningful without the writers forwarding their relationship via troupe checklist. The main rich guy, Ahn Min-Hyuk, is a prime example of the show creating something new and enjoyable. Yes, he was the rich and lonely character, but at the same time, if we were to strip him from his wealth, not much would change. He did have his shopping sprees and cool gadgets, but his character was so much more than having a company and a bank account. His personality was so likable and flowed so nicely with the story. There were other characters that were written well like this, but he is just the first person that comes to my mind.
Acting ｡゜(｀Д')゜｡: I honestly love/hate the casting done on this show. I have no problem with any of the main characters. Park Bo-Young played the little King Kong, Bong-Soon, so well. Bo-Young just naturally can make any character so cute you just wanna hold your heart and never let go. But despite her everlasting cuteness, she was able to pull off serious and heavy moments as well. I think she was the perfect fit both physically and personality-wise, which made you want to root for right-of-the-bat. I already talked about how much I loved Min-Hyuk as a character, but without Park Hyung-Shik, I don't think it would ever be the same. Similar to Bo-Young, Hyung-Shik fits his character perfectly to the point where I can never see anyone else in that role. Just his smile alone was enough to melt me twenty times over. That smile partnered with Bong-Soon's cuteness just killed me over and over again. Those two did so well in the romance aspect, making them probably my favorite couple to date. Ji-Soo also did an outstanding job with the gold-hearted police role. He was humorous at the start and heart-wrenching at the end. Which only ended up making the love triangle harder to watch. With my praise out of the way... I need to make light of a few casting issues. Like seriously...... in the world of Korean actors they couldn't find someone who didn't look over 30 to play a high school character!? That was one of the funniest things for me. And on top of that, all the gangers were also a little odd. Not that they didn't fit the appearance, but none of them really caught my attention and just seemed like actors trying to get through the script without showing much. And the ones that did try their hardest were just a little too much for me....
Music ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪: I usually hate talking about the music since I am no expert and struggle to evaluate it properly. Yet I can confidently say that I loved the music from this show. Well.... love is a strong word. I wouldn't go and look for the soundtrack, but when I was watching the show, I enjoyed listening to it so much. It was so unique to this show that if I were to be asked which show does this song belongs to, I would be able to identify it in a heartbeat. Not just the main opening theme was recognizable. Many of the background songs helped the scene carry more meaning and were just as catchy to listen too. It's in no way near the most spectacular music, but it is incredibly delightful to listen while watching.
Other (ง°ل͜°)ง: *sigh* ...... that's really all I can start with. I loved the idea of a tiny girl having super strength, so It was delightful to watch play out. But - I'm sorry to bring it up - the rules just didn't make itself apparent to me. As I always say, I am a stickler for supernatural laws and love knowing what can and cannot happen. But it's just super strength, what else needs to be clear? If it were just strength, then I wouldn't have an issue. It's just that this show made the idea of losing one's powers a terrible thing. And I get it. They have to stop people like Bong-Soon's mother from using it in the wrong way. But how exactly is the meaning behind an action judged? I initially thought one would lose their powers if they did something with a dark intention behind it, but apparently, that isn't the case. That brings to question about all of the stuff did with previous strength holders. Did the ones who kept their strength really not accidentally harm a person? It's just the show tried to make some kind of line to keep the supernatural women in check, but it just left me a bit more confused. Nothing to pull your hair over, but something I would have definitely loved answered.
Time to wrap things up! This review is a bit long, so sorry about that, but I just needed to get some things off my chest. All in all, the story was enjoyable. I wouldn't say this is my favorite show, but I will say that this had my favorite couple. The love story was the main saving grace and kept me with the show when I was starting to falter. Without such a well-written duo, I would have never enjoyed it as much and would have most likely considered dropping it. So if your a romance fan (more specifically a fan of cute and fluffy love stories) than this show is for you!!!
Will there be some tedious and frustrating things? Yep. But it's all worth it to see Bong-Soon and Min-Hyuk smile at each other with the most sweetest puppy dog eyes.
Happy Watching <3

Salah satu drakor rom-com yang cukup seru...
Jujur aja aku kurang suka sama beberapa karakter di drama ini, tapi aku suka banget sama aktingnya Park Boyoung dan Park Hyungsik disini. Ceritanya sih cukup seru yaa ringan juga, gak terlalu perlu mikir banget gitu walaupun juga kadang penasaran siapa penculiknya itu. Tapi aku suka banget sama cerita romance comedy nya minmin bongbong, lucu banget gemes??? buat ost nya sih aku kurang merhatiin yaa karna emang gaada yang menarik perhatianku buat dengerin ost nya lagi, kalau buat rewatch sih sejauh ini aku baru rewatch sekali dan itupun lompat-lompat, aku pilih bagian yang emang menurutku seru dan pengen aku ulang buat ditonton aja sih.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I Love this show
this show generally is good the romance plot is so cute I’ve seen a lot of people who disliked the thriller aspect of this which I honestly agree I skip a lot of those parts but I don’t think that ruins the entire show and eb says the the humor is childish and middle school humor so I guess I’m a middle schooler lol I thought it was funny not hilarious but funny nonetheless to do with the main characters this show made me love both the actors because I really do think they portrayed their characters so wellVond je deze recentie nuttig?

Min Min e Bong Bong
Resumindo muito tudo que vou falar, o drama só valeu mais a pena por causa do hyung sik e da bo young, de verdade mesmoEra muito bom ver eles dois juntos, as cenas fofas e de dar vergonha e olhe que não me deu vergonha nenhuma eu só ficava rindo deles, fofos demais, uns amores!!! Sem palavras pra química desses dois em cena. E amei tanto que retratam a bong soon, como frágil, delicada e ela era uma mulher forte, acho isso uma mensagem incrível que o drama passou, que apesar de rotularem as mulheres assim, somos fortes mesmo que não tenhamos poderes.
Criticando, o drama se tornou muito cansativo pra mim, enrolou muito, o plot do psicopata poderia ter sido bom, mas não sei, enrolou. Outra coisa, perto do fim eu já tava pulando a cena daqueles caras lá da gangue porque que chato viu? Eu nem ria e era totalmente desnecessário pelo amor. Até a família dela ficou meio distorcido, uma história diferente, sem ligação, ela fazia as coisas e ninguém sabia, o irmão sabia mas também não muito e ainda por cima, depois daquele auê todinho ele nem ficou com a hee ji ?
Enfim, pra mim só valeu a pena pela mensagem e pela bong bong e min min, fofos demais!!

Mesmorising
I didn't expect much at the beginning but it turned out to be one of my favorite k-dramas.The love triangle. Nothing new. Girl loved her boy bestfriend who didnt realise he liked her until she started flirting with someone else. And yet in cooperation with the serial killer trope , the idea that the female main lead has unusual strength. The fact that the Ceo hired her as a bodyguard in the company she wanted to work. The fact that villans kept coming, danger akways knocking on one of the character's door.
The show feels more like a comic than a drama and takes multiple genres to the extreme.. I would like to warn eceryone to not anything seriously and enjoy the plot and the carziness. the characters [ *cough Park Hyung Sik as Ahn Min Hyuk cough*] have very overdramatic reactions{ I personally find the cute}.
It's such a super hero romcom story and I am totally down for it.
The plot progressed beautifully. The characters developped. The twisted story and the riddles came to a solution at the best paste possible. We got to see how the emotions of Do Bong Soon change. We saw how she went from liking one guy to the other. we got to see her story, her pain, her tears and finally her love.
Its an incredible series and i totally recommend
The only part that isn't incredible are the special effects. The effects used to present the unusal strength of Do Bong Soon are really unrealistic and fake. It didn't bother that much but i acn see why it would bother someone. Especially since we are all used to high quality cgi.

I don't remember the songs that I've heard from this drama.
I have an outstanding memory of this drama, in and out. It was filled with cuteness, love, comedy and it was absolutely perfect.
I love this drama because it shows how strong women can really be. It shows that you should never be fooled by a pretty face. Innocence doesn't mean weakness.
The two main actors: Ji Soo and Park Hyung Sik are perfect for one another.
At first Ji Soo annoyed me, but the serious role fits him. It makes him super duper sexy.
Park Hyung Sik is hilarious when he gets jealous. He is definitely funny when he gets drunk. I love his character.
Overall this drama gets a 10 stars. It was well performed, well casted, and it didn't make me cry. Which is a rare matter when it comes toward dramas.

The cutest OTP
Fair warning. This show can go from cute (make you feel every tiny heart flutter) to crass (Get you annoyed at the Bad taste in jokes and even worse imagery) to creepy (scoot back in your seat in fear) in T-minus ten seconds. The swift change can give you whiplash, and more so turn you off from continuing the show, but stay. Press on. You’ll see one of the most rewarding love stories ever.Min min and Bong Bong are anything but a stereotypical couple. In fact everything this couple does is a role reversal and that in itself is pleasantly surprising. Who wouldn’t want to see a pint sized firecracker carry a sassy six footer?
Some people did suffer from SLS, but fortunately for me Guk Du’s brash personality didn’t tamper with Min Hyuk’s quirk. Park Hyung Sik owns Ahn Min Hyuk in a way that seems like his character is second skin. Do Bong Soon is everything you want to see in a woman, with her superhuman strength, her cutesy personality and sharp wit.
All in all a wonderful show, if only for the lead couple. You might use the FF button like me for the not so pleasant parts.

Great comedy & Romance
I don’t like silly dramas that are full of slapstick style over the top physical comedy. That being said, the comedy in this drama is pure gold. It’s very funny. I was laughing all the time watching this. I like that the drama doesn’t take itself too seriously and stays light hearted throughout the drama. There’s just enough angst and plot depth to keep you interested but not so much that it loses it’s light hearted feel and hilarity. It’s popularity and high ratings are well deserved.As far as romance goes, the main leads have some of the best chemistry I’ve ever seen onscreen. (In fact the male lead admitted to having a crush on the female lead in real life. She wasn’t available at the time but now that she’s available he’s in the military.) There’s lots of steamy kisses, hugs, flirting, and cuddling here for those that are into skinship. The way the female lead flirts with and teases the male lead until he’s all tied up in knots is just too adorable. And if you’re into height difference couples you’ll be pleased because she’s so tiny compared to him he calls her his peanut.
Her “powers” are a bit far fetched and not very believable. But that’s part of the charm of this show, it’s not supposed to be believable or realistic. It’s just super funny and cute. This tiny little girl is such a feisty little fireball, you can’t help but love her and her courage and strong sense of justice.
It starts out funny but gets a little serious when a man starts kidnapping women and the female lead thinks she may be able to identify him. Then there’s the whole mystery of who is threatening the male lead and why. And of course a love triangle forms. So there’s more to the story than just comedy and romance.
Overall I really loved this drama and have already rewatched it mainly for the comedy and romance. I wish there more dramas like this that does such a good job with both comedy and romance. Don’t skip this one, it’s a really good drama.

Resenhas sinceras para ninguém criar expectativas
Acho que todo mundo que começou agora no mundo dos Doramas, ou já tá até mais um tempinho nesse universo, ouviu falar de Mulher Forte, Do Bong Soon.Comigo não foi diferente, sempre vi muitos edits e várias pessoas dizendo que era um dos melhores e que eu deveria ver. Pois bem, foi o que fiz, talvez eu tenha criado expectativas demais e por isso não gostei tanto do dorama ou realmente o dorama é algo mediano mesmo e as pessoas amem pelos atores sla.
(Parte sem spoilers) É um dorama legal para passar o tempo, é engraçadinho, tem um triângulo amoroso, um mistério. O problema é que nada foi realmente desenvolvido e o roteiro tem algumas falhas, então não vá ver achando que é um dorama incrível cheio de história e ensinamentos, pois não é.
(Parte COM spoilers)
Sinceramente pessoas, é muito CHATO esse triângulo amoroso que o dorama nos apresenta e o fato deles enrolarem tanto nisso, fez com que cenas do casal principal fossem perdidas. Isso me deu a impressão que o romance deles surgiu do nada, da parte da Bong Soon pelo menos foi o que pareceu. Eles só vão ficar juntas lá pelo ep 12 e isso tira muito a graça da coisa toda.
Outra coisa que me incomodou foi os poderes da Prota, o dorama diz que se ela usasse os poderes dela pro mal eles iam ser retirados dela. Porém, em dois momentos ela machuca alguém inocente, sendo que não era a intenção dela, e apenas em uma vez os poderes dela somem. Além disso, os flashbacks que mostram como a mãe dela perdeu os poderes dão a entender que perde-los não ocorre de uma vez e sim é um processo. Por isso, o fato da Bong ter perdido os dela atoa e de uma vez não me desceu.
Mais um fator que não gostei no drama foi o final extremamente corrido. Eles podiam ter resolvido o mistério/problema muito antes e deixado o final só pro casamento dela com o prota (que também foi mt corrido) e outros acertos de conta. Tipo a família do Prota que queria q ele assumisse a empresa e no meio do drama eles tiverem um desentendimento e sumiram, fingiram que nem existia mais.
No geral essas foram as coisas que mais me incomodaram. É um drama legal, mas nada surpreendente e maravilhoso como a Dramalend pinta.

Lo adoro
Forse ad oggi il mio drama preferito, perfettamente bilanciato in ogni sua parte. Ok, ammetto che la protanista femminile l'ho amata meno del protagonista maschile (MinMin), ma lui l'ho adorato così tanto che da solo bastava a mettere in cima questo drama. Lo rivedo spesso e lo trovo sempre bello. C'è commedia, azione, un pizzico di soprannaturale, diverse trame che si intrecciano nel modo migliore, un triangolo amoroso per niente fastidioso (cosa rarissima), la coppia principale è adorabile e il loro raporto di dipana nel modo giusto, e anche i personaggi secondari hanno i loro momenti in cui brillare. Veramente uno dei drama che amo di più, è proprio ciò che cerco in un drama, ha veramente tutto ciò che mi piace.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
