Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon (Season 1)

Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon (힘쎈여자 도봉순, 2017) is a Korean series you can watch online on iFILM, mixing romantic comedy and crime thriller around a young woman who inherited superhuman strength from her mother's side of the family. Do Bong-Soon can crack concrete with her bare hands — and spends most of her energy trying to hide that fact, because the guy she's been in love with for years prefers someone delicate and conventional.

Her plan collapses when she takes a job as bodyguard for Ahn Min-Hyuk, the quick-tempered CEO of a gaming company. Park Bo-young plays Bong-Soon with surprising range: funny when the comedy needs it, genuinely tense when the kidnapping subplot kicks in. Park Hyung-sik brings something warmer to the boss role than the character description suggests. The series was directed by Lee Hyun-min and ran sixteen episodes on JTBC in 2017.

What the show gets right is that Bong-Soon's power is a problem as much as a gift — it embarrasses her, isolates her, and complicates every relationship before it starts saving anyone. That friction keeps it from feeling like a straightforward superhero fantasy. Stream all episodes of Strong Woman Do Bong-Soon (2017) online on iFILM.
