Day 203: KDrama - Strong Girl Bong Soon

Do Bong-soon is a petite, unemployed woman born with superhuman strength that comes from the long line of women possessing it. She appears little and sweet on the outside, but she is in fact very, very strong. In her family, for generations the women have been gifted Herculean strength to use for the greater good. If abused, however, their power will be taken away.

Whilst standing up for herself after gang members bully her, she finds herself approached by Ahn Min Hyuk, the handsome and somewhat childish CEO of Ainsoft, a gaming company. Ahn Min Hyuk, who holds a great distrust towards the police, witnessed the whole exchange of Bong Soon's superhuman strength, and now wants to employ her as a bodyguard after being threatened by an unknown enemy.

Min Hyuk falls in love with super-strong Bong Soon at first sight, but there's a catch. Bong Soon has eyes for someone else; police officer and childhood friend, In Guk Doo, whom she has known since high school. When chaos ensues after a series of kidnappings in Do Bong Soon's hometown of Dobong-dong, Dobong-gu, Bong Soon must decide whether to use her strength and stand up to evil, or play it safe and keep her powers hidden from the world.

I kinda like this Kdrama because it is a mixture of romance, superpower, trailer and light hearted. But maybe the storyline is bit messy in a way that the light heart scene suddenly changed to trailer and suddenly back to normal scenes. The flow doesn't really go well. It is quite of cute that thugs who tried to fight with Bong-soon and turns out that all ended up in the hospital. I like the contrast of Bong-soon and her twin brother is the doctor, trying to heal those people who have injured by her.

Moral of the story: Just like any super heroes, with greater power, it comes with greater responsibility. When we use our inner power purposefully, we can help others.
