Powerful Women: Season 3 of the K-drama Series in the Works

Strong Woman Do Bong-soon is undoubtedly a K-drama classic that every fan has seen. This popular fantasy romance, released in 2017, became even more beloved with the addition of a second installment in the "Strong Girl" series. In fact, JTBC is currently in the process of developing a Season 3 installment.

The unforgettable duo of Park Hyung-sik and Park Bo-young as Do Bong-soon captured the hearts of viewers worldwide. Do Bong-soon possesses incredible superstrength, a special ability that has been passed down through the women in her family. Despite the fans' desire to see more of this amazing couple after the initial finale, JTBC had different plans in mind.

The production company has confirmed Season 2 of the show, which will focus on a new character, Nam-soon, who is a distant cousin of Bong-soon and shares the family's super strength. The highly anticipated K-drama, "Strong Girl Nam-soon," starring Lee Yoo-mi from "Squid Game," will be available on Netflix starting October 2023. In the show, Nam-soon's super strength was lost when she was a child in Mongolia. Determined to locate her parents, she travels to Korea and becomes involved in an investigation regarding a dangerous new drug. "Strong Girl Nam-soon" has received impressive ratings, prompting JTBC to plan for a new installment.

Strong Girl is in the works of getting a new installment

JTBC announced that thanks to the ongoing success of the original 2017 K-drama and Strong Girl Nam-soon, a Season 3 installment could happen.

Soompi reported that JTBC has stated they are currently focused on writing another project, although they do have plans for another installment of the K-drama. Despite the show's strong ratings, fans have had mixed reactions towards the storyline and overall concept. Initially, fans were hoping for Season 2 to continue where the 2017 K-drama left off, with Bong-soon now married to An Min-hyuk and raising their twin daughters who have inherited her powers. However, rather than a full-fledged Season 2, the two actors made a well-received cameo appearance in Strong Girl Nam-soon.

Season 3 of the Strong Girl series is shrouded in mystery, leaving fans to speculate that it may revolve around another family member possessing similar powers. However, not all fans are fully supportive of JTBC's decision to produce a third installment. A Twitter user named X expressed their wish for the same cast from season 1 to be included, appealing to the show's makers.

Some fans believe that the first season of Strong Woman Do Bong-soon was superior, while the second season was disliked because of its significant drug-related plot. Additionally, others felt that Season 2 did not give enough attention to the primary couple as compared to Strong Woman Do Bong-soon.

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z netizen, I have mixed feelings about the upcoming Season 3 of the Strong Girl K-drama series. On one hand, I am excited to see more of the empowering and action-packed adventures that the show is known for. The first season of Strong Woman Do Bong-soon was a huge hit, and I am eager to see what the new season will bring. On the other hand, I am concerned that the show may be losing its way. The second season, Strong Girl Nam-soon, received mixed reviews from fans, with many criticizing the storyline and overall concept. I am worried that Season 3 may suffer from the same problems.

I think it is important for JTBC to listen to the feedback from fans and make sure that Season 3 is something that they will enjoy. I would love to see the return of the original cast from Season 1, and I think it would be great if the show focused more on the primary couple. I am also hoping that the storyline will be more engaging and less predictable. Overall, I am cautiously optimistic about Season 3 of the Strong Girl series. I hope that JTBC can deliver a season that lives up to the high standards set by the first season.
