Meet villain Byun Woo-seok in Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon

The latest teaser for Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon has taken a different angle from the previous two, this time putting the spotlight on our show’s villain. The greedy CEO Byun Woo-seok (Moonshine) faces off against our three generations of strong ladies: Lee Yumi (Mental Coach Jegal), Kim Jung-eun (My Dangerous Wife), and Kim Hae-sook (Revenant).

The teaser opens on the tuxedo-clad Ryu Shi-oh (Byun Woo-seok) giving a smug speech to a group of wealthy investors, offering them a gift of “another world’s happiness.” While the specifics of what he wanted/offered in this deal are unclear, the effects are quickly obvious: Gangnam has become overrun with rampant crime. But not to fear! Our family trio are ready to take this matter into their own superpowered hands. Just like strong-mom Hwang Geum-joo (Kim Jung-eun) tells her daughter Kang Nam-soon (Lee Yumi) and mother Gil Joong-gan (Kim Hae-sook) in the voiceover, “Korea is no longer a drug-free nation. Let’s save the world.”

The onscreen text tells us it’s a battle between those who “want to give away the happiness of another world” versus those who “want to save their current world.” Then we cut to shots of the ladies’ takedown operation: Geum-joo sizing up Shi-oh in a glare-off, Nam-soon pretending to be a police officer to access files, and Shi-oh frustratedly punching a wall in a very curse you Perry the Platypus! moment. While he may not have expected three average women to waylay his plans, he’s definitely not going to take this lying down (more specifically, nor while doing shirtless headstand pushups).

Thankfully for our ladies, they’ll also have the go-getter police officer Ong Sung-woo (Would You Like a Cup of Coffee) in their corner. In the last few scenes, Geum-joo recruits him with an envelope of money and a voiceover promise that, “I am going to use my strength to make this world a place worth living.” Will our ladies successfully outmuscle Shi-oh’s devious plan? Tune in to find out.

Written by Baek Mi-kyung (Mine) and directed by Kim Jung-shik (So Not Worth It) and Lee Kyung-shik, Strong Woman Kang Nam-soon will premiere on October 7 on JTBC.

Right?! I mean I just want to admire that shirtless handstand push-up. How strong do you have to be to pull that off? I can barely do a push-up and definitely not a handstand.

As someone who was once used to witness similar (and even more insane) things on a daily basis, well, you've gotta be CRAZILY disciplined more than anything because this only comes with religiously regular training. Keeping balance is likely the hardest element here and you lose the feel of it very fast once you make even a short pause.

Because women are more attracted to bad boys.

It is like saying boys will be boys to justify their 'bad' behavior.

He reminds me of Nam Goong-min in "A Girl Who Sees Smells."
He was all muscles and more. 😂
If he performs well, this can greatly benefit his acting career.

It sounds so different from the first one that I didn't like, except the couple. So it's a good news.

Byun Woo-seok is busy, he has Run Away With Sun-Jae On Piggyback with Kim Hye-Yoon.

You are me. I really disliked the first one, but may check this out.

I could never make it past the first three episodes of the first one - and I tried three times!! This one looks more promising.

Hard same. It was mostly because of the supporting characters for me. If I remember correctly the FL's mother was abusive to the father but played for comedy, and the gangsters were in turns gross and problematic. Hope this drama raises the bar on comedy a bit higher this time.

I think all of these reasonings are totally fair criticisms of the first (finished watching it for the first time recently). BUT I was watching primarily for Park Hyung-sik, so this one has yet to grab my attention. Might let some weecaps come out and then decide.

I actually saw the first part twice, although I didn't really love it either time. I watched it the first time because so many raved about it. As it was quite entertaining, I stuck it out to the end. Much, much later I discovered PHS for myself and gave the drama another chance. But this didn't change my first impression, so I have no interest in the second part. I'll probably only watch the episode with PHS' cameo.

@nefret At this point I’m only planning to watch the cameo itself! Generous of you to watch the whole episode hahaha!

Park Hyung Sik was the only reason I tried three times to watch that drama 😂

I finished it, but I had to use 1.5 speed (or even skip?) in some sequences.
I can understand it was very popular, it has a very cute couple, but I have my reservations about the rest of the drama.

Someone (not me) might consider a “Gif-fs Notes” version of SWDBS for @hopefulromantic and folks like her.

Like @jls943 says below, for many, MANY Beanies, this drama is just a string of memories of PHS.

I bet the good scenes are about one per episode, with a maximum of three.

Ooh I would LOVE that! The only thing I wanted from SWDBS, and the only reason I'm sad I had to drop it, was Park Hyung Sik. Maybe one day I'll FF througj literally everything that's not him, but... that seems like a lot of work, haha 😅

Ok, I just looked on YouTube because surely someone has just cropped out all the bits with Bong-soon and Min-hyuk and mashed them together into a video, right? And it looks like they have! I haven't watched it (yet) so can't vouch for the quality, but it is at least subbed in English. If you search "Do Bong Soon Ahn Min Hyuk" I'm sure you will find this 15 minute version of the drama. JTBC also put out a bunch of cute clips when the drama was airing, and those are all still up on their "JTBC Drama" channel, ready and waiting for you!

@jls943 That’s amazing!!

I’m still stuck on my own idea, though, because one of the things that creating an actual clip movie does, is maintain the affordances of film—tacitly expecting the viewer to follow along the narrative as you do in a film.

What the Gifs Notes would do, would be to sort of turn the drama more into the form of graphic novel, alternating text and images (although moving), to produce a different experience more like a new genre than a “highlight reel.”

I know I’m over-thinking this, and I really oughtn’t give this a try—as it would take hours and hours (I’ve thought it through :))—but I wanted to just jump in here and say this, um, thing.

@jls943 Thank you so much!!!! You're awesome!!!😄😄😄

So does our resident villain also have unhuman powers or is because of the push-ups,see that he breaks that iron bar when he punched it...

Oh, that's a nod to original where SML (also a cop) was introduced in the same fashion - by dressing as a hot call girl to arrest some dude.

Oh, the show finally remembered that they have a ML, that's a progress! Tho I won't be very happy if I was him since with the villain like that it's rather obvious on which steedhorse production is REALLY betting their money...
