Strongest Deliveryman (2017)

It's okay. But not worth your time.

Not much great of a story but still it had its plus points. The initial episodes were very good but somewhere along the way it became very unrealistic... The story goes from complete failure to success in a span of one episode... Which is beyond believable. Too much cramped into the final episode as well. The male lead was not too convincing... I felt the character was poorly developed. The female lead was good and I loved how independant she was. The second leads were cute in their own way. But I had to run through most of the episodes because it was kinda boring and lacked a good flow.

GO to the KYUNG to the PYO !!!!! How can you not fall in love with this cutie pie? I have had my eye on him for a long time.. Ever since his supporting role in Flower boy next door. I have followed almost all of his dramas especially adoring his side love story in reply 1988 (which i was rooting for more than the actual story). Finally in the lead role. I couldn't ask for more. A light rom-com with sweet side stories and strong female characters, this is a unique story about delivery boys. They could've used his acting with a better story which i believe he would've rocked in but somehow this story was a lost opportunity for him.

Genre : rom-com

Story : A common delivery boy's story of struggle and success in the world dominated by money and politics. It is a story that students and people struggling with daily life would connect to. The story especially is pretty sweet and it makes you happy and root for the regular characters you see everyday. Go Kyung Pyo is the epitome of nice-but-crazy-guy and stays up to his character with his cute smile.The side stories aren't developed well, it might be the writer's fault but the story was rushed up and too much happened too soon towards the end.The side-story that especially touched me is the character growth of the chaebol who disregards the struggles of common life which shows us that there is good in every one. It is funny, sweet and the story makes you happy and believe that may be there is good in this world after all.

Actors : If you're looking for strong female characters, this is the drama to go for. All the female characters are strong and if you don't believe me, the main female lead actually fights with guys. Chae soo bin convinces us that she's a strong character but at some point, the chemistry between the main leads is a hit and miss. You're patiently waiting for the cute antics of Go Kyung Pyo that you hoped they would've used but it never comes. Kim Sun Ho is really adorable and the development showed in his character is almost heart-touching and realistic. Go won hee's quirky character will make you smile.

Will i watch it again? No, (I will prefer other dramas of Go Kyung Pyo if i miss him)
Will i recommend it to anyone? May be if they're looking for a light and fluffy rom-com.

Though the story isn't something that you haven't seen before, it manages to deliver. It is quite enjoyable actually, with the romance actually pretty good, mainly because the couple had chemistry. The first episodes were a bit of a let down, with the story progressing slowly and some of the characters being very annoying. The story, fortunately, picked up. Even the final episode was quite interesting, which is quite rare for a K drama, as they usually sum up the story two episodes before the ending. Finally, the performances were okay from all the actors and the side stories were entertaining as well.

Not the best, but watchable.

Strongest delivery man is the kind of drama that you watch when you’re bored of intense shows, something you take as a breather. There are many dramas which cater to such moods, and are easy to drop because there’s nothing happening, but with SDM you stick through the end because it does have some substance. The four main characters cover four different types of personalities — main male lead is an optimistic justice driven independent guy, main female lead is a cynic who wants to get out of Korea because she doesn’t see any hope for growth for people like her, the second male lead is a spoilt brat who is a shame to his conglomerate family with no meaningful purpose and the second female lead is someone from a rich family but who is tired of having her family make decisions for her and yearns for independence. Each of the leads are parallels of each other and it’s fun to watch them grow. The supporting cast is fun too, there were times when I was looking forward to their scenes more than the leads.

Even though there’s lots of things happening, many of them felt a little unrealistic. For example, everything that the ML sets his mind to comes into picture in a matter of few days, it’s not that easy to start a company and I found it unbelievable that he kept hiring people and signing with franchises with next to no benefit simply because of the good of his own heart while sustaining his company. But, it’s a drama that gives hope to youngsters and allows you to dream.

To wrap it up, I would say that this is a simple drama that you can watch when boredom hits you. At times it’s monotonous and predictable but it’s okay. There’s nothing very exceptional about it but it’s comforting in a way.

Sigh… where to begin. Strongest Deliveryman was a drama I never expected to watch because I could not find it online anywhere. I am absolutely in love with Chae Soo Bin and had seen countless of her dramas, so Strongest Deliveryman was definitely one I had also wanted to watch. When it appeared on Netflix, I got incredibly excited and began watching it the day I added it to my list. I didn’t come in with high expectations since MyDramaList tends to be pretty spot on with ratings, so I knew that the drama was not going to be anything super great. However, I was still pretty disappointed and here’s why. Strongest Deliveryman is a drama cheesier than Zach Choi’s mozzarella corn dogs, and I personally was willing to let it go since it was a comedy and wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. However, at some point I was just craving even the slightest bit of realism to this whole mess of a story, since it just got less and less realistic as the episodes went on. Let me make a quick list: Devoted deliveryman squad who was willing to do anything for our ML, chasing criminals, the entire cheesy plot that involved “brave” young adults fighting against and defeating a chain of restaurants, some weird side storyline with the owners of the noodle shop, and honestly a lot more stuff I already don’t remember because I watched this two weeks ago. While I adore Chae Soo Bin, I absolutely LOATHED Dan Ah in this drama. This gal is constantly finding something to complain about and get angry at, and she misuses her knowledge of martial arts to essentially beat people up if they make her irritated. I am a big believer that violence is not okay even if it comes from a woman. Imagine if Dan Ah was a guy who put people in headlocks and hit and slapped them whenever he felt like it. Not okay, is it? So WHY is it okay for Dan Ah to do it only for the producers to write it up as silly humor? I cringed every time she got physically abusive with someone… Lastly, I would just like to quickly complain that this entire drama is incredibly overdramatized, especially toward the end. Kang Soo’s reactions are honestly incredibly extreme when he interacts with his mother. He is legit ready to scream like a little child every time he interacts with his mother, while he instead could be a bit more adult about it and talk to her calmly about why she abandoned him as a child. I could never relate to a parent abandoning me so what do I know, but I feel like half of his crying scenes were very dramatic for absolutely no reason.
I suppose the cast of this drama was quite acceptable, however I have to say I expected a little more from the second leads, given how their romance was so raved about on some of the reviews I read. Oh well. Anyhow, probably don’t waste your time on this drama, however it wasn’t that long anyway, so I guess watch it if you REALLY want to?

it wasn't a bad show and i enjoyed some parts of it but what rlly made the show enjoyable was the second lead couple definitely!! main couple's story becomes boring after awhile :/ the hero complex the male lead seem to have .. the story of wanting to save everyone's business yea i got bored of that it was more focused on that than the growth of the main couple i couldnt feel any chemistry between them at all LoL

the second leads on the other hand had evident character growth which the main leads lack and they were so fun to watch i literally skip most of the parts of an episode and watch only their part

It is worth a watch, but weirdly if you said this series was filmed in the year 2003, I would believe you - minus the implementation of an app. Something about the show looked and felt old.

The message of the series however was excellent. It shows that you can really make ideas work if you have a bond with people who are all aligned on a goal, and emphasising decent values and virtues to attain the goal - people often lose their morality in the name of capitalism, but this series tells you that there's always another way.
It's a good show to watch if you're making a decision in your career and want to be reminded that it's ok to do the right thing.

I loved the character development of Jin-gyu, played by Kim Seon-ho.

I'm not too much a fan of the lead actresses, but Lee Min-young and Kim Hye-ri in the show I must say are incredibly beautiful.
