Well-loved series Strong Woman Do Bong Soon goes for a story expansion in a new drama to be produced by Barunson CNC.
Barunson CNC announced Kim Jung Eun, Lee Yoo Mi, Kim Hae Sook, Ong Seong Wu and Byeon Woo Seok will appear in the series written by Baek Mi-kyung.
Titled Strong Woman Kang Nam Soon (LT), the series broadens the worldview of the 2017 JTBC hit series Strong Girl Bong Soon. It is regarded as the first series to feature the first female superhero in a Korean drama.
The spinoff focuses on a drug crime story in Gangnam among Bong-soon’s relatives: cousin Nam-soon and her mother Geum-ju and grandmother Joong-gan.
In the drama, Kim Jung Eun portrays Geum-ju, a well-off mother who has lived a life burning with a sense of justice. She has obsessively done good things with a driven attitude to find her lost daughter.
Squid Game star and rising actress Lee Yoo Mi plays Nam-soon, Geum-ju’s daughter in the story. Seasoned actress Kim Hae Sook suits up as Nam-soon’s grandmother Gil Joong-gan. All of them have the super-strength ability passed on from their ancestors on the mother’s side.
Tangled in a drug case, Ong Seong Wu and Byeon Woo Seok would add charming notes with their expected interactions in the series.
Joining writer Baek in the creative team is director Kim Jung Shik of Work Later Drink Now fame.
Strong Woman Kang Nam Soon is the debut work of Barunson CNC established by Barunson E&A, the producer of award-winning film Parasite.
The series is co-produced by Story Phoenix, founded by Baek Mi Kyung.
