No idea who it is. I know the song Superpowers is by ITZY.

 

I am sure they will release info about the song you are referring to as the drama progresses.

What's an example of a good series for you then? in case you know the answer to my question , i usually use the lyrics to find the title of the song but it's in korean :-(

 

"Hi. In Episode 2 Police Station scene, they played this song and it was awesome. Can anybody tell me the title and the artist it was around 41:28 on netflix. Thank you in advance. "

I liked the FL:  Mongolian roots and her lifestyle echoed in the park and experiencing how the poor live and get by.  I like the ML.  I like FL's dad.  I hope they mix it up the music because I liked the trot, which is an acquired taste after watching some law show.

 

I do not like how her family is filthy rich but does not have a team of SM experts scouring the news, etc. for her powers being exhibited in Mongolia or Asia.  Kind of lazy writing.

 

The new drug sounds similar to the NF movie PP.

Strong Girl Nam-soon: Episodes 1-2

by mistyisles

 

Strong Girl Nam-soon is a wacky superhero tale with an irresistibly sunny titular heroine, nefarious villains lurking in the background, three generations of super-strong women, and one good-natured but determined cop. Once our heroes find their way to each other, they’ve certainly got their work cut out for them — but there should be plenty of fun and excitement along the way.

 

EPISODES 1-2

 

Our story kicks off in 2013 with a missing girl and a pair of distraught parents. The father is KANG BONG-GO (Lee Seung-joon), banker-turned-photographer; the mother is HWANG GEUM-JOO (Kim Jung-eun), genius businesswoman dripping in self-made wealth. Every woman in Geum-joo’s family is born with superhuman strength (the guys, not so much), so years past when her fling with Bong-go escalated to steamy activities, Geum-joo had made it clear that having a daughter wasn’t optional.

They had twins — one girl, one boy — and their daughter KANG NAM-SOON (child version played by Seo Yi-soo) is the girl who’s currently missing. Turns out while on a photography trip in Mongolia with her father, Nam-soon disappeared. Bong-go filed for divorce out of guilt, and both parents spend the next ten years exhausting every resource to find her.

 

We, however, needn’t fear for Nam-soon’s fate. She’s been taken in by kindly Mongolian shepherds and spends her days riding horseback, tossing wrestling champions around like rag dolls, and watching Korean TV. Though she doesn’t remember much about her biological family, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” helps her recall her name and gives her a place (Gangnam) to seek out when she’s older (and played by Lee Yumi). Even then, she’s reluctant to abandon her adoptive parents. In the end, they have to push her to leave, assuring her they’ll be here if she needs them.

Meanwhile, Geum-joo holds an annual international strength contest in hopes that Nam-soon will participate. To her joy, the 2023 winner, RI HWA-JA (Choi Hee-jin), ticks all the right boxes, down to the scar on her foot. Bong-go isn’t convinced, but Geum-joo wastes no time showering her presumed daughter with every luxury money can buy. In truth, however, Hwa-ja is a con artist looking to help herself to Geum-joo’s vaults.

 

Nam-soon’s arrival in Korea is nothing short of dramatic. First, her plane comes in for a rough landing — that is, it fails to slow down, and Nam-soon has to jump out and stop it with her bare hands. This sends a surge of power to both Geum-joo and Geum-joo’s mother, GIL JOONG-GAN (Kim Hae-sook), and tips Geum-joo off that Hwa-ja isn’t who she claims to be.

 

Next, thanks to a tip that a drug mule is aboard the flight, Nam-soon and her fellow passengers go through inspection, during which police officer KANG HEE-SHIK (Ong Sung-woo) confiscates a few personal items (her beloved late horse’s mane and ankle bone, and a solid gold princess wand she had when she got lost as a child) for testing. Moved by her plea that all she wants is to find her mother, Hee-shik promises not only to return the items ASAP but also to help her locate her family.

 

Finally, Nam-soon secures a cushy apartment… only to find out the next morning that the “landlady” was a scammer who turned around and robbed her blind. Penniless, homeless, and with no one to turn to, Nam-soon nonetheless makes the best of her situation. After all, the park at Han River is dotted with tents, so who’s to say she can’t pitch her own, right?

Except, she builds a Mongolian-style yurt out of “borrowed” materials (a few wooden boards here, some public banners there, and one tree that was going to be uprooted anyway), and then another for a homeless couple who wander in — and let’s just say the park officials and local police aren’t as impressed as her new friends are.

Barely watching Kdrama anymore but came back to watch this drama.  I used to be a huge Kdrama fan few years ago, and Soompi forums were lit!  

 

Anyways, loving this show. It is cute, funny and has a strong plotline.  Some head scratching moments but overall, show feels refreshing.

 

Love the male lead, and chemistry of the OTP.  Looking forward to a lot of their scenes together.  Hope, they keep the pace and fun elements going and keep a high octane pace with it so, it does not slow down.

 

Excited for the next 7 weeks!!

Team Dramabeans: What we’re watching (October 14, 2023)

by DB Staff

 

So, what are we all watching this week?

What kept you reaching for more (or agonizing when there was no more), and what made you want to throw your remote through the screen? Time to weigh in…

missvictrix

 

Strong Girl Nam-soon: If I have to pick a wacky drama from the recent premieres, my flavor is more A Good Day to Be a Dog. But that being said, I really enjoy Lee Yumi. And anything in Mongolia. Also Ong Sung-woo, because that’s some next-level cuteness. Also Byun Woo-seok, because I’ve been his fan from way back in his YGK Plus model days.

 

Unit

Strong Girl Nam-soon: I picked this up out of curiosity (and for Ong Sung-woo), and it was surprisingly entertaining. We all need a silly watch from time to time, and I think this will be my silly watch for the next few weeks.
