Strong Woman Do Bong-soon is a tiny hulk in first teaser

If you like the current state of your fingers, do not mess with Do Bong-soon because as the very first teaser of JTBC’s upcoming romantic comedy Strong Woman Do Bong-soon indicates, she can break bones like they’re twigs, and no one would even suspect her because, I mean, look at her!

Park Bo-young (Oh My Ghostess) stars as the protagonist, a pint-sized woman born with extraordinary strength who runs the risk of crushing whatever she lays a finger on if she isn’t too careful. She’s harbored a one-sided crush on Ji-soo (Fantastic) since grade school and wishes she had the flower-like daintiness he prefers in women.

Her Herculean strength nabs her a job as bodyguard to Park Hyung-shik (Hwarang), who plays an overbearing and eccentric second-generation chaebol and CEO of a gaming company. He sounds a bit like a loose cannon, in contrast to Ji-soo, whose character tends to go by the book, but I’m guessing he changes for the better as he starts falling for his small and mighty bodyguard.

In the teaser, Park Bo-young catches a creep groping the woman standing before him inside the subway train. She stares daggers at him, but he merely scoffs at her furious gaze. Cut to: the creep on the floor, crying in agony while clutching his mangled finger as Park Bo-young nonchalantly gets off at her stop with a tiny knowing grin on her face. Heh. You go, girl. The soundbite is, “The girl with hidden superhuman strength is coming.”

Next we see her approach Ji-soo and Park Hyung-shik drunkenly asleep and caressing each other on the pool table. Cut to her carrying both guys home, one fellow hilariously draped over each arm. She’s like a walking towel rack, except instead of towels, she has two guys just hanging there. They already had me at Park Bo-young and Ji-soo so this delightful teaser is icing on the cake!

Strong Woman Do Bong-soon is fully pre-produced and will premiere on JTBC on February 24 and air on Fridays and Saturdays.
