I wanted to like this but I have dropped. The FL is grating on my nerves a bit. Her naïveté is meant to be endearing I suppose but it’s just annoying and the ML is beyond bland. The backstory with the drugs is not compelling enough to keep me watching. The k dramas offerings of late continue to be generally disappointing.

This show can be thought of as 1) Nam Soon with really cool and interesting long hair and 2) Nam Soon with short boring hair.

When she had long hair, her weird friends were charming and we (the audience) was in suspense waiting to see how she would reunite with her family. The mother-daughter reunion was great! The cameo from the original bong-bong was cute as well.

Now that her hair has been chopped- so has my interest. Her friends are kinda boring now. The family dynamic is kinda boring. The OTP is going okay I guess, but nothing really special. I almost cracked a smile when they recreated the woman carrying the man scene, but that was way too predictable. The Korean portrayal of drug usage is so bad that it’s not even funny. The cops refusal to get treatment from drugs was cringeworthy. There’s that Unfunny portrayal of the fat boy. Somewhat cringy portrayal of elder mature romance that hits about as hard as a marshmallow.

I hesitate to write this because I simply don’t like to write negative comments because someone (maybe lots of someone’s) really like this show.

Is it time for Kidnapping Day yet?
That show isn’t even a comedy but it’s got 100x the humor.

I am still enjoying Nam Soon and her antics. I prefer that she would be discreet and smarter when she uses her superpowers. In Mongolia, it may be okay since she lived in a wide grass plain and get to interact with same groups of people all the time. But in Seoul that has millions of people, it can only bring her unwanted attention and trouble.

Hee Shik is a good guy. I like how well he treats Nam Soon. The initial cuteness between the two is still there. But the drug investigation is the only thing keeping them together. I hope the writer has something else up her sleeve for the main couple.

What troubled me the most is how the family dealt with Nam-In's issues. They either mocked, indulged, and even ignored him at times. The guy has mental health issues that should be dealt with professionally. The amount of food he eats is very unhealthy and they are not taking approriate action. The women are too consumed dealing with "changing the world" that they are ignoring him. The father is indulging him to compensate for lack of maternal affection. Its just a vicious cycle that I can't blame him for taking drastic measures.

I really liked the first four episodes of this show. These past two, though …

Geum-joo is really just too much. I guess she hasn’t done anything bad given that she hasn’t lost her powers, but her approach to saving the world leaves a lot to be desired.

I hope the show does right by Nam-shin’s character, but at this point I’m not banking on it.

The seriousness of the drug investigation is undermined a bit because I have no idea what big bad’s goal is — to become a superhero? To kill a bunch of people?

I still enjoyed some parts though …

Despite her naïveté, Nam-soon looks to be the most intelligent member of her family. I liked how she used her smarts versus the rude restaurant owner instead of intimidating him right away with her strength.

Hee-shik not using the knife when attacked by his chief showed he’s just a good guy. And given how extra Nam-soon and her fam can be, that works for me. Here’s hoping they get more scenes — and cute ones — together soon.

I'm not sure what is the FL's journey now. She wanted to find her family and she did. The drug's ring has no connection with her. She's not a cop, she shouldn't involved. She's very bright and naive. She's already perfect, she uses her multiple powers for good.

I didn't like the 22 years old limit. I don't remember it in the first season. But it's really a bad reason to date the ML.

The way they handled the chief... Like how someone can't drink water and survives? He needs medical care! Saving his career because he was too stupid to not taste drug shouldn't be their priorities...

The only strength of this drama is its cast. End of text xD

This drinking water thing causing irrational behavior and heightened strength is reminding me of Happiness. Anyone else?

Even if he should just need to see his own (ominous) smile in the mirror, Ryoh seem to think he is doing good, somehow: "God is on my side".
There's a plentyful gif-o-rama here: https://www.dramabeans.com/members/CecilieDK/activity/1474042/

I was imagining and hoping he could be some kind of private undercover vigilante, but the hope seems diminishing with the "stepping viciously on people's faces" and all.
Not only did Granny want to date without divorcing her husband - she seems prepared to do much worse things to her date, also. The famous "We had dinner so now you owe me what I crave and I am stronger than you" was kind of made light of, but at least not depicted as sympathetic, so I really hope her victim gets away when we see him again.

Ah yes, the classic filler eps 5 & 6.

Yeah these eps added nothing to the plot but was somewhat still entertaining. Only highlight was Namsoon jamming out to Gangnam style with her two friends.
Alas, Hee-shik would never live up to Ahn Min-hyuk but I agree that he is endearing in his own ways, being this "proverbial straight man" who balances out the craziness of the other characters.

Praying that the show picks up in the upcoming eps!

The show suddenly nosedived this week. I still like NamSoon and HeeShik. And our villain keeps getting hotter. But everyone else is irritating now. I want to fast forward through all of Mom's scenes, her overacting gets on my nerves. Granny should retire her horrendous wigs. Her words about the elderly also having a beating heart would have landed better if she hadn't carried a man into a hotel against his will. Are the Bread guy and the sickly uncle supposed to be funny?

10 more episodes of these characters? I don't know.

wasn't the essence of the strong woman show that the woman is strong.. but kind of reasonably strong

this show is so into supernatural.. with jumping, hawk's vision etc etc.. it is supernatural and not nice..

initial comedy helped it sail through and not sure what else is left to show
**************
but then we are living in an year where King the Land was appreciated.. so yeah.. anything can get ratings... based on audience's mood

Had to be very liberal with the FF button this week. Which says something about how I'm enjoying this. Not as much.
The main leads are cute. And thats about it.
My main problem with Geum Joo is that all her talk of being kind to others (like Hwa Ja) and saving the world bringing good karma to her kid just rings hollow and false with the way she treats Nam In. And I don't blame him one bit. I wouldn't talk to my mother either if she compared me to a pig.
And though Joong An's rant of wanting romance at an older age could've landed, the portrayal wasn't the best and Geum Joo wans't entirely wrong there.
I dont know why previous homeless friends are still there. The drug plot is bizarre and boring. The police is incompetent and stupid. The villain is beyond cartoonish. And I hate Nam Soon's short hair.

I don't want to pile on, but I will, lol. The main villain is a terrible villain, made worse by the fact that those handstand pushups were clearly wirework. He has no stated goal and is a villain for villain's sake. The drug that is triggered by water is so stupid, you will die without water. Also what sane person leaves an addict to his own devices, especially an addict who won't go to a hospital.

Hwa-Ja's villainy is also bizarre. Why are you mad at Nam Soon? Why are you here? What do you add to the storyline. SIGH.

Geum Joo is so weird. why are you so intense ma'am? Relax.

My favorite character is Halmoni, living her best life, and being kind to those who deserve it.

I actually like this show (Hee-sik and Nam-soon are ADORABLE) but maaan the storyline.

Like I said on my fanwall, the "surgical masks being used to smuggle drugs" storyline is straight out of American right wing media. I'm sure this storyline plays differently in Korea, but here it's hard not to cringe.

Are we supposed to like Nam-soon's mother? I really can't tell. The show seems to want us to think that she's awesome, but she does some pretty terrible things. Like, her treatment of her son is pretty appalling and no wonder he wants to live with his dad.

My husband and I have nicknamed Nam-soon's uncle "Sloth."

That sex scene with the grandma was... a choice, all right.

What is the point of selling a drug with THAT level of lethality? You're gonna kill off your customer base!

There is NO WAY Nam-soon's mom would be that rich just from selling soup, and especially the way she throws money around.

I like how the show overall has an anti-capitalist message but it also seems to glorify capitalism and consumerism a lot?

Love the series so far, but I have issues with a couple things:

1. They haven't seem to explain is how the lost-and-found Hwa-ja was strong enough to not only beat those weightlifting type contestants in the earlier "Strongest Women" contest, but strong enough to convince the mom that she was her long lost daughter? Her "Strong Woman" strength doesn't seem to even factor in the series so far, other than when she threatened that one guy calling the police on her? and she hasn't even shown any "super strength" to anyone...

2. The first time Nam Soon and the cop go to investigate the Doogo warehouse, they make a big deal of the cops shutting down the cameras in order not to get caught, the next few episodes, she's running around the place showing off her powers and the whole being discreet at night went out the window...

It is a unhitch-brains-and-watch show. But the characters are interesting. OTP continues to be wholesome. Mom continues to be over the top. Villain continues to be pointless. But show continues to be fun. so will watch for now.

I, too wanted to like the show, but it is plain boring. There is no real progress from week to week and the drug storyline is far from being gripping. AND WHERE IS THE HUMOUR IN THIS SHOW?!?

As others have already pointed out: the fat-shaming is hard to take. I also do not understand it, because the show is on super-woke Netflix, where they had both a black King Arthur and Morgana. (If they can culturally appropriate a 5th century British myth, why can't there be an overweight person in a K-drama without being ostracised?)

As much as I love seeing older people having a love life: if it had been a man hitting on a woman the way grannie hit on the barista, we would not have tolerated it. (The divorce thing is another issue.)

Last but not least: I do not understand the naïveté of the FL. She claims that she learned Korean from k-dramas. But there are SO many dramas with smart and cunning male and female characters, also, much is said about honorifics in k-dramas!

I also felt like it lost a bit of magic this week. The comic book vibe made me enjoy this sequel and the opportunity to showcase 3 generations of superpowered women... but it's also weirdly depressing to me.

It got too depressing with the chief being on the drug. He had taken drugs by mistake and because of the way South Koreans react to drugs, he's too afraid to get the help he needs. I get this isn't just marijuana, but a creepy unknown drug that turns you almost into an animal, but still. And they just left him in the ML's apartment all by himself?

It's also depressing how Geum-joo treats her son, but I'm glad the drama makes him the sympathetic one and her the evil one in their mother-son relationship. His depression over how he's being treated is leading him to take a mystery weight loss drug.

I don't get the villain. Why make the drug that makes your customers super-powered? Then can't they just all gang up against you?

And the homeless guy is going to loose his money to cryptocurrency again, isn't he?

I liked the Granny at first, but I thought she was terrible to her love interest.

The uncle's typing/monitor setup was really awesome.

Give me more of Nam-soon's brother with the supportive dad. The Hee-shik and Nam-soon moments are pretty cute. I also enjoy Hee-shik's straight-man role.
