A big Disappointment!! I hate what they did to Ryu Shi Oh's character.

SWDBS is one of my favorite kdrama but SGN is bullsh*t. I give Strong Girl Namsoon 1 out of 10. Here are the reasons why…
Let’s talk about positive things in this drama;

1. This is a Comic drama where I wasn't expecting logic.

2. Min-min couple cameo:

Park Bo Young as Do Bong Soon and Park Hyung Sik as Ahn Min Hyuk are the cutest couple in the kdrama world. Their cameo is the reason for me to watch this.

3. Kim Jung Eun as Hwang Geum Joo mother of Namsoon:

Those who didn’t watch the drama might think that this kdrama is all about Hwang Geum Joo and she is the main lead cuz she lit the screen and we saw her as an ML instead of a supporting character.

4. Fans including me love the villain Ryu Shi Oh aka Byeon Woo Seok:

Yes, He is the villain so he should at least die like a villain and not just a side character. I was disappointed with the writer cuz they didn’t do justice to his character instead killed him pathetically. Cuz of his popularity he could have become the greatest villain of the Kdrama world but writers did him wrong. I wasn't shipping him with Namsoon obviously cuz he is the villain so make him bad but not pathetic, please.

Now the minus points and why fans don’t like this drama much;

1. Lee You Mi aka Kang Nam Soon acting is cringe-worthy:

She gained quite a popularity after the Squid game and All of Us Are Dead. In the beginning of the few episodes she was doing okay but in the middle, her acting was getting more and more cringe. she tried so hard to look cute that she forgot to act and in the last 2 episodes, she was so done with her acting.

2. No chemistry between the main leads:

Their romance was forced and not what we enjoy, they have no chemistry between them. There was also no love triangle cuz she was friendly with Ryu Shi Oh and some fans shipping them. The director and the writers could have made the main lead romance worthy to watch but they failed.

3. Lots of side characters with story and screen time:

My question is why? those characters have zero contribution to the story. There are lots of unnecessary side characters who are given screen time instead of creating chemistry between the main leads.

4. Namsoon's grandmom Gil Joong Gan has a much more interesting love life than her.

5. It’s not only Lee You Mi who did bad acting but other characters also do that and the fact that Hwang Geum Joo throws money on everyone's faces and they just accept it like Namsoon's adoptive mother she won’t even hesitate and happily accept it like a bagger.

7. The whole story roams around a drug case related to a Russian mob group and in the end, they still have not completely resolved it.

8. Creating Ryu Shi Oh emotional backstory with an extremely difficult childhood and then showing that he is doing that to find his friend (in the starting) and in the end, his same friend just came to kill him… is so messed up what writers wanted to do?

9. There were lots of plot holes and things which were not make any sense which we could have ignored if the drama gave us something to ignore.

The only reason for me to watch the whole drama was Byeon Woo Seok and it was so difficult to finish this drama… I had to force myself to watch the last 2 episodes It was unbearable. I give it 1 star please don't make Season 3. I will not watch it!!

I don’t recommend Strong Girl Namsoon even if you are a Strong Woman Do Bong Soon fan.
