Okay, I have two questions about this. I will watch 2 episodes, BUT 2 episodes only, if the answers are not to my liking:

1. Will this spin-off have a creepy sexual serial murderer who keeps women in cages? If so, I will not only exit this show so fast that no strong woman can catch me, I will also curse the show by continuously pouring poop tea over all the commentary.

2. Is the policeman suitor once again going to be in a love triangle? I have resigned myself to love triangles in rom-coms, even though I truly hate them with a passion, but unless Park Hyung Sik makes a surprise appearance as the male lead, I'm going to griping so much that everyone will wish I would just drink some poop tea and shut up!

I was just thinking to myself, "what will I watch on weekends now that BYT is over T-T" ... and then I remembered...

I didn't like Strong Woman Do Bong-soon, but I do think the spin-off will be better, but I also don't have the time. 😮‍💨

This is streaming on Netflix, and the cardboard standee is because Ong Seong-wu is serving his military duty.

I know nothing about the original "Strong GirL" (except that favorite Yoo In Soowas in it) but then I see a photo of none other than Kim Hae Sook (Marriage not Dating; Judge vs. Judge; Queen's Umbrella) and I guess I'm hooked for a couple of episodes at least. She is Da Queen.

(I bit the bullet after the scintillating discussions here):

Just gave the first episode a try. I will wait for the recap, but here are my premiere watch first impressions:
The villain (or is he by chance the ML) is as good as the trailers.
The ML is as bad as the trailers.
The FL does not even touch PBY in screen presence though she is quite pretty. She is giving a Shin Ha ri vibe but is bringing that wierd infantalization of the female character I can't stand.
The police cell as usual looks as depressing as last time. The nefarious activity here looks even more sinister than Part 1. I am not sure how I feel about it. It's Netflix so anything can happen (depending on how much boundary cable in S Korea will push).
I must say - the production value is jaw dropping good. They blended avengers and folklore. The opening scenes are fantastic, then slides to mundane. I wish the first part had this kind of a budget and backup.
It wasn't truly interesting, though women on motorcycles are always cool.
I waited for bated breath for OG. No luck.

Kim Hae Sook sunbae-nim SLAAAYYYYYYS in that outfit 🤩
Also, this drama will be on Netflix Canada-- I literally just logged into Netflix on my laptop and the preview is literally the very first thing that pops up at the top of the screen for me

I watched this last night and it's a pass for me. The humor is juvenile and falls completely flat, there's no warmth in the family dynamic, the dialogue and plot are basic, and the only character/actor who's grabbing me is the villain. But I suspect he'll end up being a bore, too. I was mildly entertained for the last few minutes, but that's not nearly enough to justify tuning in to ep. 2. I hold out some hope that Beanies will say this one ends up getting really good as it goes on, but I'm not optimistic.

The ML standee is such a fun and cute way to include him in the party. 🤣

I liked the first one so most likely will check this spinoff.

just gonna admit that Im here for Woo-seok's villain era

I watched the first 5-ish minutes of episode 1 and my initial impression (before turning it off) was the series is VERY 'low rent'. It makes Do Bong-soon look like Hamlet in comparison. And yes, I enjoyed the original series, despite it being admittedly a bit bi-polar.

Saw 1st epi last night. Not bad! Mom was a total bad-ass. Some scenes were like "what??"...but it is drama land so I went oh well! Kept me going and staying till the end so I would say bravo!

Started casually, liked the first 2 episodes! It seems good fun. Will continue.
