The most awaited sequel of Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon, titled “Strong Girl Nams-soon,” is finally here this fall season with a bang and a completely different storyline than its prequel, with the only common thing between the two K-dramas being an exceptionally strong female lead possessing the power of superstrength that they use to help people around them.
The previous season ended with Bong-soon and Ahn Min-hyuk having their happily ever after, with twin Bong-soon giving birth to twin girls, and the new season had the female lead Nam-soon searching for her birth mother in Korea, thus making fans curious if the two drams had some connection to each other, but the sequel has an entirely different storyline with the lead couple from the prequel making a cameo appearance.
Directed by Kim Jeong-sik and Lee Kyung-sik, the action-crime series focuses on a young girl named Gang Nam-soon who disappeared in Mongolia as a child, and now, as an adult, she traveled to South Korea in search of her bio parents.
Once Nam-soon reaches Korea, she meets her grandmother and Hwang Geum-joo in the Gangnam district, but things take a comical turn after Nam-soon, her mom and grandmom get entangled in a drug dealing case investigated by Gang Hee-sik.
The cameo of Bong-soon and Ahn Min-hyuk had people more excited than the entire drama, and well, we weren’t disappointed as Ahn Min-hyuk is still madly in love with his wife.
Produced by Lee Kyung-sik, the series stars Lee Yoo-mi playing Gang Nam-soon’s role, Bong-soon’s sixth cousin and female lead, KimJung-eun playing Hwang Geum-Joo, Nam-soon’s mother, Kim Hae-sook playing Gil Joong-ga playing Nam-soon’s grandmother and Ong Seong-wu playing Gang Hae-sik’s role, Gangnam Han River District’s lieutenant in the lead.
Released on October 7, 2023, by JTBC, the crime-comedy series has managed to capture several hearts since its premiere.
