Strong Girl Bong Soon - Blog Posts

Korean dramas I love.

Light on me. On Viki and it is the best love triangle drama. Boy wants to have friends and falls in with the school council and their problems. Adorable and you can’t hate any of the protagonists.

Devil judge. Dystopian universe where a judge takes down powerful people through the media. I ship the male leads because they have great chemistry but it’s not canon. Great drama and amazing acting, rather dark themes.

Colour rush. A soulmate bond between two boys and how it develops. A boy lives in a black and white world and meets the boy who brings his colour. Dark themes of suicide and murder but happy ending.

Strong girl bong soon. Girl has super strength and her journey as a hero and finding romance. Amazing male leads. Has funny parts but explores ideas of femininity. On Viki and Netflix.

Sweet home. A apartment complex fights monsters as they deal with the end of the world. Horror filled, gory and has amazing action. The characters are well written and the drama is brilliantly filmed. High key recommend. On Netflix.

Strangers from hell. Slow thriller with gay undertones. Subtle creeping horror with murder and amazing acting. The build up is good. On Netflix.

The uncanny counter. Puppy dog protagonist and found family vibes. Boy searches for the person who killed his parents whilst banishing evil spirits. Supernatural. Really well done, the mc is so adorable. On Netflix.

Mr heart. Adorable tale of what love is and what it can mean to a person. Gay drama, there is a movie version too. Could be filmed better, but they had a small budget. On Viki.

The tasty Florida. Another short gay drama. Adorable and fluffy about a restaurant and romance between a chef and a new boy to the city. On Viki.

My sweet dear. Enemies to lovers. Rivalry between two chefs for a restaurant position. Short bl drama. The actors are beautiful. On Viki.

True beauty. Girl tries to find her idea of beauty through makeup and environment. Explores how girls can view their self worth. On Viki.

As my research deepens, the greater the expansion of my new Roman Empire: Byeon Woo-seok as Ryu Shi-oh.

JTBCDrama literally confirmed via IG account that Ryu Shi-oh FELL IN LOVE with Tsetseg.

Much is said that he only wanted her by force, but Tsetseg was not Gang Nam-soon. He also didn't know about the power of women. So why would Shi-oh look at Tsetseg with anything other than coveting his power other than with affection? Why wouldn't he fall in love?

Tsetseg and Gang Nam-soon were not the same person. Tsetseg challenged him, she was bold and seemed not to feel uncomfortable around him. She listened to him and showed compassion for his sad life story.

And, I still make room to comment on Ryu Shi-oh's stance. When he was around anyone else, he always walked around with his hands in his pockets (which can be considered a disrespectful gesture in Korea). Even when he hit the Delivery Man, he had his hand in his pocket.

Beside Tsetseg, he always had his hands exposed. He treated her as an equal and even as a superior (he sleeps in her presence, proving that he had trust in her to guard him in such a vulnerable state).

I'm not trying to justify the character's actions, but it's unfair to treat everything as black/white. Ryu Shi-oh was a character that had several layers. He was a Psychopath (although I don't agree with the definition in JTBCDrama itself) and could fall in love with Tsetseg.
