Episode Review

Strong Girl Nam-Soon Episode 2 - The bad guy, Ryu Shi-Oh.
Byeon Woo-Seok plays Ryu Shi-Oh the big bad of the series.

Episode 2 successfully builds upon the foundation laid in the first episode. The pacing is well-balanced, offering a mix of light-hearted moments, romantic undertones, and darker themes. We get to see multiple facets of key characters, particularly Nam-Soon and Geum-Ju, setting the stage for the unfolding drug conflict that promises to be a central plot point.

The episode leaves us with a tantalizing cliffhanger, as Bong-Go, Nam-Soon’s father, seems to recognize her just as she’s about to leave his photo studio. While some plot points may feel conveniently orchestrated, the emotional depth and narrative complexity make it easy to overlook such minor flaws.

It succeeds in deepening our understanding of the characters while setting the stage for future conflicts and revelations. The episode leaves us eagerly anticipating what twists and turns lie ahead in this captivating series.
