The nerve of gang nam soon, the pampered kid with FOUR parents who would do anything in their power to provide for her, who has not ONCE in her existence felt an ounce of loneliness, who's trillionaire mother would rip the world inside out for her, who discovers capitalism and has the realisation that the world isn't cotton candy and bubbles but actually evil for the FIRST time when she's 22 yrs old; the nerve THE NERVE of that girl to chastise Ryu Sio, an orphan abandoned by the world, who was used and abused by the mafia, forced to murder people at 6 yrs of age, used like a puppet, torn between a war inside him, who not once in his life received the chance to be human.

Hwang geum ju is a filthy hypocrite with her "people can change if they're given a second chance", where was your magnanimous-forgiving-second-chance giving spirit when you were dealing with someone being forced by one of the most powerful mafias in the world to distribute drugs? As for Gang nam soon, I've never hated a main character as much as I hated her. How could you turn around after someone tells you they've been abused their entire life, trusted no one, and were forced to do terrible things to survive, and call them a bastard? Does nam soon not have an ounce of empathy in her hypocrite body? The parallels between Nam soon eating lunch in a villa with her two mothers and relatives who love her more than anything else in the world and the scenes where Sio sat alone in the place where his orphanage stood? And knowing that despite being abandoned by his parents which resulted in him being abused for years he understood that his biological parents were probably not in a position to provide for him and tracked them down and provided for them? And all this for the drama writers to just include a scene where the main characters on their romantic stroll to muse once about how different ryu Sio would have turned out if the world had shown him an OUNCE OF KINDNESS? Like you guys are seriously telling me that this thought did not occur ONCE in gang nam soon, daughter of philanthropist and believer of goodness of people Hwang geum ju, that this man opening up to you about his traumatic childhood and life and the fact that he does not want to die being controlled by an evil mafia could possibly be a better human if he recieved the chance? This drama could have explored a complex relationship between Sio and Nam soon, where she recognised that he was really a victim of society's evils, Hwang geum ju could have helped Sio escape the clutches of the mafia and they could have taken down this organisation together, but no instead the writers decided to make a drama chock full of loopholes, cringe dialogue, predictable and boring plot "twists", a painfully one dimensional male lead, and a forced romantic relationship between the main characters who had ZERO chemistry. From a kdrama fan who LOVED strong woman do bong soon and only and only started this drama because of bongbong and minmin's 5 minute cameo, I'm beyond disappointed. It ruined my year ending (almost)

As my research deepens, the greater the expansion of my new Roman Empire: Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Shi-oh.

JTBCDrama literally confirmed via IG account that Ryu Shi-oh FELL IN LOVE with Tsetseg.

Much is said that he only wanted her by force, but Tsetseg was not Gang Nam-soon. He also didn't know about the power of women. So why would Shi-oh look at Tsetseg with anything other than coveting his power other than with affection? Why wouldn't he fall in love?

Tsetseg and Gang Nam-soon were not the same person. Tsetseg challenged him, she was bold and seemed not to feel uncomfortable around him. She listened to him and showed compassion for his sad life story.

And, I still make room to comment on Ryu Shi-oh's stance. When he was around anyone else, he always walked around with his hands in his pockets (which can be considered a disrespectful gesture in Korea). Even when he hit the Delivery Man, he had his hand in his pocket.

Beside Tsetseg, he always had his hands exposed. He treated her as an equal and even as a superior (he sleeps in her presence, proving that he had trust in her to guard him in such a vulnerable state).

I'm not trying to justify the character's actions, but it's unfair to treat everything as black/white. Ryu Shi-oh was a character that had several layers. He was a Psychopath (although I don't agree with the definition in JTBCDrama itself) and could fall in love with Tsetseg.

i kind of wish namsoon had kept her aesthetic that she had at the start. i appreciate the change in hairstyle - signifying this new chapter in her life; coming of age in a sense - but it was clear she did enjoy boho style garments. now she blends in with the other female characters. it would've been interesting seeing her style some of her older garments with her newer pieces, showing that she's able to marry her two identities into one cohesive picture

Those last few episodes hurt me physically- I don’t ship them, but if Ryu had never been taken by Pavel, I feel like they would’ve been best friends.. No I don’t support what he did, and Nam Soon had every right to be angry with him and betray him in my opinion, but it’s still sad and he still didn’t deserve that ending

Y'all the Instagram kdrama fans are so insane and so are some of you on here cuz like wdym Namsoon is worse than Ryu Si-o. I GET IT YALL LOVE A HOT VILLAIN YOU THINK HE HAD A SAD PAST YOU THINK HE SHOULDVE BEEN WITH NAM SOON. But be so fr. He's hurt her brother, her mother, her friends and lots of people both directly or indirectly. Innocent people. He does this with pleasure. Why would she like him no matter how well he treats her? That's literally everything she goes against as a person. What do you mean Namsoon now deserves to die or lose cuz she's a bad person😭😭😭. She knew he was bad and that he needed to be stopped. That's all there is to it. The actor plays this character well if he's likable to you but yall have zero character analysis skills or anything beyond a one dimensional surface level understanding of what a person should be if your justification for the big bad guy to win is "He's hot and he had genuine feelings for her." How will a tumblr person ever eat the rich and powerful when the tumblr person folds the second the rich and powerful are attractive😭😭😭. Keep your "I can fix him" a little more wrapped up babe cuz some of you are a little too serious about it.

Don't even get me started on how yall treat the actor playing the male lead. You don't have to like him, or the main couple but Jesus the way some of you treat him😭😭😭. Also like "Ryu Si-O should date Namsoon instead of Gang Hee-Sik" LET THE GIRLY DECIDE HER TYPE THAT BOY WITH THE SOFT SMILE AND ACTUALLY GOOD HEART IS HER TYPE.

namsoon is definitely a little too brazen and dumb for going around in that warehouse openly searching for things (in broad daylight !!!) but I fail to understand the imposter girl 😭😭😭 why are you fixated on her??? even her scammer gang had called her out that she wouldn’t have been able to prolong the stay.

it reminds me of the rude coworker of Dali in Dali and the Cocky Prince who kept taking vile shots and harassing Dali because she assumed Dali was a rich airhead so she deserved it 💀???

acting like you’re so bad and tough and don’t mind being the villain of the story when you do and are bad at it 😭

The painful parallel between Ryu Sio and Ri Hwaja

Both orphans, taken by criminal organisations, trained to be criminals (though I would argue Sio's case was decidedly worse)

Both encounter Hwang Geum ju, try to harm her and/or her family

Hwang Geum Ju recognises that people are a victim of her circumstances, she says no person is inherently evil it is the environment and surroundings that force them to make "bad" choices for their survival and if shown love and kindness and if provided the opportunity to make the right choice, they can and will become better people.

Hwang Geum ju decides that this philosophy of hers only applies to Hwaja and forgives her multiple murder attempts, pays for her education, lodging, hospital and turns her life around.

Hwang Geum ju also forgets her policy of second chances and decides an orphaned boy abused by the mafia forced to commit crimes as a child for survival and still being used by a criminal organisation as a puppet to commit their crimes is the epitome of all evil, beyond redemption and must be destroyed under any circumstance.

I don't care that Si-o tried to kill Nam-soon's mom or that he's a villainous murderer and mutilator and a drug lord and a billionaire. He LOVES NAM-SOON AND THEY'RE TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN AND THEY BELONG TOGETHER

Starting Strong Girl Namsoon.... and now I'm amused at how the girls (and their respective twins) both had names that corresponds to a certain location (where they lived) in South Korea lol

Do Bongsoon -> Dobong-dong

Gang Namsoon -> Gangnam

☾ my views on strong girl : namsoon .

I’ve just started watching this drama two days back, and I must say, it is intriguing to watch it, so far, namsoon has met her mother, i really wanna know what wooseok’s character is up to with the whole drug thing.

I see heesik’s heart beating for our girl namsoon, that face expression of freeze on his face, when she lifts something heavy, or jumps, or saves someone, he has this brief moment of shock and awe on his face that i really love to watch. Seong woo played his character so well, i’m already in love with him. 🫶🏻

Oh, how can I forget geumju, she’s the kind of mother i’ve always wanted my mother to be, and if i was to be a mother, i would be like her, she’s kind, but fierce at the same time, mhm! The perfect combination as a mother, I love her character so much!!! I enjoy watching her so much, that i’m cheering for her through my screen, lol!

I’m even more curious to know what ryu sio plans to do with namsoon, because he seems to want to have power, lots of power, and he said that he likes speed in the first episode, or the one ep, where namsoon saves the airplane from crashing.

Okay, let me take my statement back, geumju is a great CEO but, not a good mother, since she completely ignored namin, and only focused on namsoon, which led to namin taking drugs, to loose weight, and ending up almost dead, I was screaming at the screen.

Anyway, it got dealt with, she got the antidote, and he didn’t die.

Ryu sio has finally found out who gang namsoon is, and I feel pity, anger, and empathy for him.

He’s just a child who was made to feel powerless by the Russian mafia- Pavel, and it’s not his fault to want power, but what he is doing is wrong, and selling drugs, so many people died because of that, isn’t right.

I want to help him, but he’s not a person who would change for good, so i don’t know what namsoon might do, after knowing that he knows her identity, and may want to kill her.

So, i’ve finished watching the drama, and I have so much to say....!

I knew that namsoon won’t die, since it is a kdrama, there will be something that saves her.

There’s still some story behind ryu shio’s death, I feel like binbin and nozh have something planned for sure.

I feel so many emotions behind ryu shio’s death, he had a tragic past, and all he wanted was power so he won’t feel so powerless like he did back in his childhood.

He also wanted someone trustworthy he can rely on, he had namsoon, maybe if namsoon wasn’t a spy, and just an ordinary girl, he would’ve protected her, somewhere I feel like he did have feelings for her.

I didn’t think that he would die so easily.

There’s something fishy especially after the revelation of nozh, that is bread song, I knew that he must a meaningful character, his name also sounded so stupid, also if he was not important why would he even be on this drama?

I for sure know that there’s gonna be a season three, there has to be, also where did binbin escape to?

Binbin didn’t betray his friend, but will he betray Pavel as well?

Something just doesn’t sit right with shio’s death and all.

For a second, i thought shio didn’t die, but then again they didn’t have much time to swap each other, the police has already infiltrated the boxing gym. (Stupid me) 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, i enjoyed this drama so much, that i didn’t sleep, because i was busy watching this.

Oh, and the end, they show that boy, Jang Chung dong, who is a mutant, they say, and geumju met his mother to take him under her wing, i’m excited to see what the writers come up with in season three!
