First Impressions: “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon”
If you’re looking for something hilarious and adorkable mixed in with some freaky thriller, this drama is for you! The plot “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” features Park Bo Young as the titular heroine who is born with incredible strength and is hired to be the bodyguard of Ahn Min Hyuk (Park Hyung Sik), the CEO of a game company. Things get tricky when an unexpected murder happens in her small neighborhood of Dobong-dong, bringing her long-time crush In Gook Doo (Ji Soo) to her aid as they try to keep up with the recent events.
Do Bong Soon
Do Bong Soon is a young woman whose cute demeanor is immediately offset by her up-front attitude and Herculean strength. I love that she’s not your typical “Candy” character. She’s strong, confrontational, and adorable at the same time. It’s pretty awesome to see Park Bo Young display some super human strength in such a cute way.
Ahn Min Hyuk
Park Hyung Sik is amazing as Ahn Min Hyuk because he effortlessly goes from hilarious to serious to everything else in a split second. Almost every word that comes out of his mouth makes me burst out laughing. He’s like an unpredictable beagle
In Gook Doo
Then there’s Ji Soo, who really shines as In Gook Doo. He’s a total tsundere, aka rough on the outside, sweet on the inside. And while tsundere characters have a tendency to seem moody and angsty, this drama portrays In Gook Doo as a character who is unintentionally funny because he’s so serious compared to everyone else. It also helps that Ji Soo looks really good as a police officer.
Surprising thriller
Do Bong Soon’s neighborhood goes into a shock when a young woman is murdered in the area. The first episode was already tense with the threats to Park Hyung Sik and an attack on a woman, but when we actually see the killer later on, that’s when things gets downright freaky. And as scary as it is to watch this at night, the fast-paced thriller elements are making me anxious to see what happens next.
This drama sort of feels like a superhero’s coming-of-age story. With great use of music, visual effects, and intense flashbacks, the cast and crew are doing a great job so far in making me curious to know more about Do Bong Soon and her amazing strength.
I’m also really loving the attention to detail when it comes to character quirks and hilarious dialogue. And while the drama feels a little confusing with its sudden change in tone (it goes from cute to scary real fast), it keeps me on my toes, which is exciting. It’s like a hybrid drama where romantic-comedy meets action meets dark thriller, and I am loving it so far.
