Strong Woman Do Bong Soon (2017)

I didn't dislike this drama, really, I didn't. I actually found the sweet romance to be adorable to watch, but switching from sweet cute romantic comedy to dark murdering killer scenes was just too much for me to comfortably enjoy on my couch in the evening...And honestly, the bad guy was just frickin creepy...
When the scenes switched to the bad guy, I got such Criminal Minds vibes (that spooky thriller bad omen vibes) that I'd be too spooked to sleep comfortably. I'm a pretty big wimp though, so maybe my interpretation of how spooky and scary the bad guy was is just me...
BUT, something else I found jarring was how the romantic comedy was very slap-stick in nature, and then it would switch to the bad guy and it was very dark and scary....the abrupt switching between both extremes of those genre's just didn't smoothly blend and transition to be in one drama. I think if the bad guy scenes were less creepy and dark, I'd find the drama less unbalanced.
Overall, I did like the romantic comedy aspects, but inevitably, I dropped this drama because the scary scenes were just too outside my comfort zones for me to enjoy this drama in its entirety. You might find this drama fitting to your own preferences though, so I don't think it'd hurt to try starting and see if it's something you enjoy.

The minute I started watching, I already loved the characters. The acting and story was well done, however to me it was a little slow. I bet it was because they wanted to fill in all the 16 episodes, but otherwise this was an AMAZING show to watch!!!
I have to warn that I noticed lots of product placements that did not necessarily sneak their way into the story well enough because it was like every time the characters had a breather from the suspense they did a product placement.
The side characters also stood out in their own way. However, there was a lot of gay humor which was funny (but if you don't like that kind of stuff then this is not a show you should watch). This show reminded me slightly of 'W' (if you haven't seen that drama - it's a MUST watch!!) because there was a lot of cartoon elements that made it seem like it was written from a webtoon.
The main heroine has super strength (not a spoiler), but she shows a lot more character as a woman than just being strong. Even though she looks weak, she fights off many difficulties pushed at her as well as showing signs of weakness (because a person cannot be strong all the time).
Of course, this is a romance so which guy does she fall in love with in the end? WATCH TO FIND OUT!!! ^_^

Should I finish it?

I'm confused about the direction of this series. It went from a possible love triangle to an extreme suspense theme that involves murder, bloody physical altercations, and random attacks. I don't think I can see this as a cute love story anymore. It's a real toss-up between loving the actors and hating the storyline. It's like the writer became overly excited about the cast and budget and decided to write all he or she could into this ONE series. Is it a love story, a comedy, suspense drama, supernatural, or what? I just don't know what's going on, which is leaving it undesirable to watch. HOWEVER, I love the actors.

Great Concept storyline

Thank you Writers and Producers. For once a Drama that doesn't have a so called Bad Boy or Rich guy that demeans, yank, jerk, get the the face or grab the FL like he owns them. For once I am watching a drama that the female doesn't mumble nor is she weak minded. She does take crap from folks that do her wrong. So far so good on this series. I think the Chines Writers and Producers can learn a couple of things about using strong willed, don't allow men to boss them around female roles.

I am looking forward in watching the rest of the Series. On Eps 1 and 2 I laughed so hard. They have some good twist and turns in this series. I like that they explained the way Do Bong Soon is, in the first episode. They didn't take 3 or 4 episodes to explain.
Do Bong Soon's mother is tripping. She is funny. The mother is out there! She about money straight up. The mother gives a bad name to Asian mothers. It makes it look like they are all about money. Who in the world goes to bed fully clothes????.

The more I watch Ahn Min Hyuk , the more I don't like him. He is a rich boy trying to use his influence to get his way. In Gook Doo is a better person. I think deep down he likes Do Bong Soon. Ep 6 looks like this K-Series is going to do the same thing C-Series do - The rich guy get the woman and the nice guy loses out. I am hoping In Gook Doo get the girl. Why can't Do Bong Soon see what Ahn Min Hyuk is up too? I know it's not in the script.

I was disappointed with the ending. Having said that, I will recommend folks watch this Series, you'll laugh and cry and get angry. PS. Can someone make a Romantic drama where the poor, good guy gets the woman. It seems the be always the rich, arrogant male wins out.
