Gender roles get swapped around in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon

Gender roles get swapped around in Strong Woman Do Bong-soon

by girlfriday

The promo for this show is so cute that I’m going to be SO disappointed if the show isn’t as advertised. But with Park Bo-young (Oh My Ghostess) as a small but mighty woman in charge and Park Hyung-shik (Hwarang) and Ji-soo (Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo) on either side of her, it would just be impossible not to make this utterly adorable, right? *knock on wood*

The new JTBC rom-com stars Park Bo-young as a woman born with Herculean strength, who breaks things if she just touches them wrong. She’s harbored a longtime crush on Ji-soo’s character, a rookie detective who’s cold on the outside but passionate about his belief in justice. He truly believes that a just and righteous society is achievable, and does everything by the book.

On the flip side is gaming company CEO Park Hyung-shik, a second-generation chaebol and total weirdo whom Park Bo-young is hired to protect. He’s not at all your typical guy, and he thinks it’s cool that his tiny female bodyguard is so strong. Well that just makes me like you already. The three of them will get swept up in an unforeseen incident and end up in a love triangle.

What I’m excited about is that it sounds like the show plans to reverse some typical gender roles with a woman as a bodyguard and a man who needs her protection. Park Bo-young’s character poster says, “What’s womanly?” while Park Hyung-shik’s poster counters, “What’s manly?” And tough guy Ji-soo’s poster asks the both of them, “What the heck are you guys?”

I really love this idea that our heroine is going to overturn the classic notions of what ladylike qualities are, and that the hero will defy classic ideas of manliness too. The main poster reads, “Three outwardly strong and strong-minded men and women begin a romance that will be a trial of strength.” Will it be a trial? I don’t know, she seems pretty happy with one boy under each arm if you ask me!

Strong Woman Do Bong-soon will air on Fridays and Saturdays beginning February 24.

I loved PBY ( and JJS) to pieces in Oh my ghostess. Same with Ji Soo in angry Mom. He really nailed it as a bleeding high school sweet heart. Now I am sad that Ji soo wont get the girl. Haven't seen PHS in anything. Recently I started developing an aversion for actors who can't act. Just hoping that he can act well and the drama does well.

No worry. Park Hyung Sik certainly can act. If you can't trust Hyung Sik, you can at least trust Dramabeans. He is among the Top 10 Idols Who Genuinely Can Act chosen by DB.

Do you have a biased against idols turned actors? If not, you'll be pleasantly surprised...he's good, he has proven countless times that he can act. Plus, should I call him the 'King of Chemistry"? Look at his poster, he even managed to have chemistry with a lollypop XD I recommend you to watch "What happens to my family?", "Sirius", "Nine" , High Society (only for his scenes) and even his on-going drama "Hwarang". Warning : Hyungsik is a show/scene/hearts stealer, better be prepared!

Lastly, have trust in Dramabeans, he was ranked in their top 10 of idols turned actors. Have also faith in Knetz who also seem to have a soft spot for him as he's one idol that rarely got bashed for his acting.

You got the best way to explain him. And I want to be the lollipop.

Anyway, can someone educate me why 'Womenly' and 'Menly' words in the posters are written in hanja? I am eager to have more expanded cultural knowledge.

I've started watching Hwarang which PHS is in and find him cute in it. I'm only a couple episodes in so haven't really gotten to any meaty acting from his character yet but he seems good in that role. I don't know how he will do as a lead but here's hoping he does well!

I, for my part, am very distracted by Ji-Soo's no less sexy but very obviously painted/tinted eyebrows.

On second glance, Park Hyung-Shik's eyebrows look like they're tinted as well... Aaaand now I'm suddenly picturing the two guys having a pajama party, wearing silly pajamas and cute headbands while trying on Etude House's "Tint my Brows" in the wrong shade. THAT is distracting as hell.

Finally, someone else who notices his eyelash! I noticed his lashes in Hwarang. At first I wondered why my eyes frequently focused on his lashes every close up. After 14 episodes and comparing his lashes to other actors', I realized that he has longer and darker lashes compared to other actors and actresses.

Ummm, not to be a perv, but that is one good poster with Park Hyung-sik. Good use of props, the marketing team - I appreciate it.
The poster also makes me think they won't really reverse or question gender roles in the drama, but simply use them for comedy, with maybe just a touch of personal development.
I'm not sure - hopefully the drama proves me wrong.

I hope this one is good. Like most beanies, I'm in a drama slump and in need of something truly nice. I just did a marathon of WFKB and I absolutely love it. I've been re-watching it for days and since nothing new that I like is in the horizon, I'll keep on watching Swag Couple. I don't mind re-watching WFKB forever, but a new show to squeal over is welcome in my book. I hope this is a fun and cute romcom.

The show looks cute.

However I t won't happen a day too soon when the incessant drumbeating about gender falls silent. With training and technology someone can be skilled as a protection officer whether they're male or female. And someone who's immersed in business won't have time to learn skills that are equivalent to protection personnel. Male or female. Gender roles have absolutely nothing to do with any of this.

February 2, 2017 at 6:07 AM

The posters say "What's manly?" and "What's womanly?".

So obviously the promotional team thought gender roles had quite a bit to do with it.

February 2, 2017 at 11:04 AM

But it's not gender roles. It's gender stereotypes.

Or at least I wish we would have gotten this far to realise this in the 21st century.

I don't know how the drama writers are approaching this, but I hope it's not just for the sake of some cute jokes rather than addressing (whether in a direct or in a more subtle way) the issue of stereotypes (which are a problem).

But gender bias is very real and ignoring a problem will never get it fixed.
I think inclusiveness and story diversity are things that should be praised and pointed out, hopefully to encourage more of that. Which can only be good for us drama fans!

February 2, 2017 at 12:04 PM

It's a pipe dream to think people or society will become perfect. They/it won't. I rose to the top of a very male dominated profession through the simple means of being the best at what I did. And yes I suffered having my job threatened through sexual harassment and had promotions postponed by the good ol' boys club. But I didn't let myself be cowered by it and always ended up advancing.

What I'm saying is that I've seen the worst of it. And I don't think the right strategy to solving the problem is to sit around complaining about it. Or protesting it. Just figure out its internal rules and go out and beat it.

Incidentally, the most trying experience I had was when a senior exec/boss was putting my career at risk because I wouldn't have an affair with him. (Yuck!). He was sloppy in his strategy and would have been easy to beat in court. The point when it became tricky was when he recruited the head of HR to come up with a strategy to disrupt my career. I ended up leaving the company because it was too much brain damage to stay (got a great job offer from our top client company when they heard I was thinking of leaving.). The year after I left, the head of HR was on the front cover of the US's leading business publication for promoting a diverse workplace. LOL And yes, the head of HR was a woman.

I never saw it as a gender war. Rather that these things happened because individual people are self serving and unjust. And sometimes downright creepy.

Jibber Jabber Drama

February 2, 2017 at 12:42 PM

Well, it's truly amazing that you have managed to do that, and I applaud you- but I don't see this as an either/or scenario. We can use everything we have to try and make things better! And just because you could do it doesn't mean everyone could- or *should have to*.

And to your point of it not being a gender war- I don't think it's a gender war either. I don't think most men are intentionally attacking women or vice versa, they are behaving the way society has told them to behave. In some cases, people like your previous boss are self-serving- but ultimately they are using genderised norms to their advantage, and it is the *structure* that allows this. I think a good way- but, yes, not the only way- of tackling that is to do so through dramas and films and literature. These are the things little boys and girls see themselves doing when they grow up, and can be a huge influence on them. It can be a huge influence on anyone watching.

Without acknowledging that this type of role- a strong, physical and typically male dominated job- does not go to women very often, we are ignoring a huge part of the picture. It wouldn't feel truthful or illuminating for the drama to ignore it, and I'm hopeful that this will add some interesting characterisation to our heroine.

But aside from that, I think this show looks really cute, and I'm hopeful that our strong woman will be strong in heart AND mind. Looking forward to the end of February.

February 2, 2017 at 3:23 PM

Gidget, you are freaking awesome! I don't know who this head of HR is, but wish you a life full of misfortune. And Jibber Jabber Drama, I agree with using everything that we have to try and make things better.

I think a mix of protesting and figuring out the internal rules would be ideal. How will the issues come to light if no one spoke up and how do we find allies? If someone is living a particularly sheltered life, they may not be aware that what they thought was a personal issue was a societal issue that we should all be working on. But how can we do anything about it if we can't figure out a way to beat the system from within and get to a place of power so we can start disrupting the status quo and start making changes? Not all of us will be able to do that successfully, but hopefully there will be enough successes to make meaningful actions.

I'm sure we'll never reach a perfect equality and the problem won't ever be solved - unless something catastrophic happens to the human population. But hopefully, with each year, with each generation, fewer women will encounter the sort of obstacles that aren't usually there for men.

I really hope they do this drama with some sensitivity and social commentary instead of playing Bong Soon's superpower just for laughs. Maybe a young, physically strong girl will see this drama and aspire to become a bodyguard. Maybe a young boy will watch this and think twice about what it means to be womanly and what it means to be manly.

Gidget

February 2, 2017 at 11:30 PM

Thanks to both of you! I just honestly don't think that it does much to shout this type of message from the mountain tops. Because in my personal experience it hasn't been a gender issue, it's an individual character issue. And without exception it was the women who were way more brutal in how they'd try and compete. There were laws protecting women from the knuckle-headed things that men did. But nothing to hold the bad-actor women in check. Their methods were to tear colleagues down through gossip, defamation and slander. And as a rule they'd never do it to men, only women. They'd try and charm the men. (Yeah, so the things the women do are also illegal, but it's near impossible to prove.)

But back to dramas. What I'd like to see is competent, good humored female characters that are shown getting to the top. And have it treated like no big deal... because it shouldn't be a big deal to see competent women compete and excel with their integrity intact. (Of course also to ultimately have both female and male bad-actors get their comeuppance.) To me that'd be much more compelling and transformative than a drama that kind of lectures and nags us about gender equality.

Gidget

February 2, 2017 at 11:45 AM

Yup. Hence my comment about the drumbeat. It's become tiresome. The point that they even bring it up says they're not very evolved. In my mind, you should be able to show competencies without either apologizing for them or subliminally yet pretentiously badgering people about a 'cause'. Gets rid of all the divisive and arrogant faux outrage.

All men in k-ent world does wear make up, even the casts of Running Man and Infinity Challenge. I remember in one episode where they talked about how Jun Ha and Kwang Hee got their eyebrows tattoed, which certainly isn't weird considering they have to appear on TV.

And remember Lee Min Ho's fuschia lipstick from Heirs? Let's hope that trend never repeats.

Ok, this is weird. Really weird, that whenever someone mentions Park Bo young, my mind really cant remember how 'exactly' she looks.

A vague picture comes in to my mind, a small round face with bangs that all. There is no distinct feature of her i remember. For eg, if someone mentions Gong Hyo Jin, Kim So hyun, Kim Yoo Jung, Kim hye soo, or ANY other actress, i know 'exactly' how they look, they all have so much distinct features from one another.

It is more strange because, i watched two of her works, one is werewolf boy movie, and the next one is oh! my ghostess k-drama. Normally, i can identify who is who from the look itself, but i seem to 'forget' how PBY 'really' looks.

Some people might not even get this. haha

It not weird at all just depends on your perception. just a matter of how you see, hear, you feel to describe/ identify a person etc., Its sounds like you see her as common so you don't find any distinctive features or nothing unique :) Its true that most have bangs both women and men alike. round face is somewhat common too but she's an exception you just cant remember her face. so maybe next time you pay a lil extra attention you might discover something unique hehe. As for me I find her cute and sounds like a young girl with a nice teeth, beautiful smile and adorable. She's bit short too. Good for you you can memorized where you saw her in my case i cant even memorize K names we all have in perfections. just saying :)

February 2, 2017 at 2:49 PM

Hahaha! I have the same issue! I just know she's short and cute. This has happened with some random people I've encountered in real life. It's not always because I find the person plain and nondescript either. It has happened with attractive people. But I just seem to forget how they look like.

I wonder if that gives PBY an advantage - like if she was too memorable, it would be weird to see her in different roles and may take a moment to adjust.

And then there are those people who look really distinctive to me in a drama than elsewhere. I'm attracted to PHS in dramas, but sort of have trouble remembering how he looks like outside of dramas.

Ji Soo's got a pretty distinctive look - both on and off screen.

OMO. PHS was the same with me. I watched his debut drama i think ' High Society', where he played the second male lead, and that was the first time i ever saw PHS, i did not even know he is an idol. He looked a teeny tiny bit similar to Jisung,
Then i next saw him in Hwarang, and believe me i did not even know he is that guy i saw in High Society. He looks different from the previous drama and in this fusion saguek drama Hwarang. But now, i think, after this little experience, i might be able to distinguish him from other dramas he play.

The CEO 100%. Plus PBY and Hyungshik have so much promotion already that it is just the 2 of them without Jisoo. So I think that is already indication that they the are couple. There are like 3-4 teasers for this drama of just the 2 of them being sweet or hugging each other. They even did a few photoshoot together already.

BTW, I hope PHS finally gets the girl! I mean, 99% of the time in dramaland, the main guy gets the girl, but this show might decide to be cruel and let the second guy win just to be different, once again depriving PHS to his happy ending with his lead girl.

Jisoo (kinda) got his happy ending with SH:R with IU (but calling that ending as happy doesn't sound right...well calling that drama as a whole as happy doesn't sound roght either...ANYWAY) SO PLEASE DRAMALAND, GIVE. PARK. HYUNG. SIK. THE. GIRL. DAMMIT.

Pretty sure PHS will get the girl as lead. Jisoo sorta had a happy ending in Fantastic in that he got the girl--erm noona-ssi woman--though ending was open-ended. XD

hopefully this would be really good. I haven't seen Park Bo-Young in anything, but she sure seems charismatic in this.

Park Hyunsik! I'm in!

I've only seen Park Bo Young in Werewolf Boy, and she was ok so I hope I like her in a drama.

Regardless...I may just watch this for Hyunsik no matter which direction this show goes!

I can just look at him if nothing else!

Can't wait!

oh.emm.gee! This looks so cute it makes my teeth hurt! In a good way.
Dream eye candy casting to combine PHS and Ji Soo in one show, both with good hair. Be still my shallow heart!

Please be good.

Sigh, I love both PHS and JS but I don't know if I can afford another second lead syndrome. :((

Lol when I read about the reversed gender roles and saw the candy in Hyungshik's mouth, I immediately thought of candy girls.

I'm super excited and all the teasers plus posters have been so cute. I just want to see Jisoo in a drama again, and of course more PHS is awesome. PBY is so cute between the two tall guys. Saw their script reading vid and I can't wait!!

After Hwarang last episode, which is kind of a mess imo since they let King Jinheung to be such coward, I hope this drama will redeem it all, I will watch this one for sure.

Do we know if this will be a 12, 16 or 20-episode drama? From the synopsis, it sounds like it could be a fun zippy drama in 12 episodes.

Can Jisoo get a break with a female co-star already? I have a feeling he will not get the girl yet again. hehe

The whole female body guard is giving me "Wild Romance" vibes (with Lee Dong Wook and Lee Shi Young), so the premise is not that new/unique in my head.

But I still love Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Shik - so I can't wait to see how it is.
