Different approach with the original Bong Soon, pretty good for a light watch, funny but a bit boring at the same time. This drama belong to fantasy comedy and a bit exaggerated i guess? If you are not a fan of unrealistic/silly drama you better skip this one.
I dont get why people are saying the female lead is a bad actress who cant act (Lee Yoo Mi) i think she really suit the character and deliver it really well, innocent Mongolian nomad girl with an accent, kinda childish, cute, innocent, and bubbly. The villain actor also doing a really great job with his acting skill and expression, you can really feel he is a total psycho.
Whats surprising is only a few people mentioning how bad the lead protagonist actor Ong Seong Woo is, from the very first episode i cant help but notice that his dialog, expression and body language is so stiff and unnatural (not a hater okay) this is my first time seeing his acting so im not sure how he did in other drama, i dont think he is a main lead level yet.

I enjoyed the orig. Strong Woman Do Bong-soon with Park Kyung-sik as the hapless ML to Park Bo-young's supernaturally strong heroine.
In the sequel series, I liked the FL and her raised in Mongolia innocence and the ML cop was okay but there were too many generations of strong women for me. Too many competing plot lines and heroines taking action to care enough about any in particular. More is not better here. And a heroine with no kryptonite weakness but the "do good or lose your powers" is meh unless it's used cleverly against her in a way different from the earlier series. But no.
The villain strikes poses, han d in pocket casual, than a sullen Gucci model. Byron was a model first and has not overcome his affectless demeanor here. I think he's better in later work. Here, he's a visually-striking nothing burger.
I've watched half and that's enough. DNF.

I really wish people would give more honest ratings, it is ruining IMDB. Certainly slapstick, campy and silly but it made me laugh a lot. Perhaps, it is a bit over the top and not to your liking but why give it a 1-3, is it really the worse movie ever? It is probably not as good as the first one but not 1-3 bad and to be honest more Kim Won-Hae is the reason that the 1st one was funnier. I actually almost did not watch it due to the IMDB rating but I am happy decided to watch it despite the low ratings. It seems IMDB specifically with Korea TV will have to be taken with a grain of salt or not used at all until they can figure out who to folter out these spurious numbers.
This show is a mixture of funny and brilliant... and parts that could be left out without affecting the main plot.
The main actress really pulls off the part. She is cute, lovable, and the more I watched the show the more I liked her in the part.
The villain was brilliantly portrayed. He was evil, heartless, cruel, but the actor made the audience somewhat sympathize with his situation and what made him that way. That is not easy to do... and is a high point all the way through the series. The heroine and the villain work really well together to make the show. If not for those actors and the way they were directed and their characters portrayed, I'm not sure the show would have been near as enjoyable.
Other parts are somewhat repetitive and even unnecessary. They spend about three episodes in a dull warehouse that does little to advance the plot. The side-plots (and there are several of them) are not all that entertaining or impressive. The super-weak uncle was silly and became obnoxious after several whining sessions. The glutinous brother really brought nothing to the show. (Yes, I know he was for comedic effect, but the role just wasn't funny.) And while she's one of my favorite actresses, the December romance never came off as convincing or necessary to the plot. It was just kind of thrown in there, and the male barista part was unconvincing.
Basically this is a two-pony show. One actor is funny and cute, the other charismatic and dangerous. They work very well off each other. The show holds up all the way through, and I enjoyed it quite a bit. But I do think it would have worked better as a 6-episode mini-series by leaving out the plodding and unnecessary side-plots. Still, a series worth watching.

It's kind of...something. In the light category, action comedy series, a bit fantastic, with the inevitable love story. It wants to be a sequel to Strong Womans Do Bong Soon, and it even has a small cameo in ep.3 but...it's far from the first series. Lee Yoo-Mi is cute, especially when she plays with a Mongolian accent, and the image quality is much better than in the first series. This can also be from the alternative source, because the geniuses at Netflix removed the original from the European grid.
However, as a scenario, comic moments, even special effects, it is much more diluted than the original.
Until now, the "geniuses" at Netflix have only released the first 5 episodes, but if the screenwriter continues with the inspiration hangover, it will not compare to the one in 2017.
