SYNOPSIS
Do Bong Soon (Park BoYoung), a woman in her twenties sees a man hitting a bus driver who was just asking to move his van so he could drive through a street. Not being able to let it go and leave the defenceless man on the floor, Do Bong Soon decides to fight back. One must think that a woman, who is also short, wouldn’t have a chance against a well-built man but this is the exception for our girl Do Bong Soon, who was born with superhuman strength inherited by all the women in her family. But as Ahm Min Hyuk ( Park HyungSik) witnesses the scene and calls the police, they all end up in the police station where In GukDoo ( Ji Soo), Do BongSoon's crush, works at . As Ahn Min Hyuk turns out to be the young CEO of a mobile gaming corporation, he makes up his mind and hires Do Bong Soon as his bodyguard.
Do Bong Soon wants to prove that not all women need a saviour and that love is the strongest feeling that can change everything.

REVIEW
NOW (this might contain spoilers) let me tell you this one is my favourite kdrama (also on my top 3 favourite tv shows ). It got it all. An amazing female main character who is independent and who fights when she has to fight. Park BoYoung and Park HyungSik have an incredible chemistry you’ll ship them since minute 1. Even though Ahn MinHyuk is show as this selfish, self centered young rich boy there’s a lot more to discover about him. You’ll cry when they cry and you’ll laugh because of their cuteness.
I didn’t get the second lead syndrom even though I understand why some do. Ji Soo portraits perfectly that friend who’s always been there but oblivious. He’s been there protecting Do BongSoon not being aware of her strength but also not quite seeing her as a girl but as a younger siter.
But for the first time, she can be herself around someone else’s that’s not her family. Because we’ve watched enough tvshows and movies to know what’s going to happen to her is people finds out about her strenght. Ahn MinHyuk knows about her strength, and even when he is a little bit scared of her power, he is there to support her and keeping it a secret. And this right here is how you create a funny and cute rom-com based on a heathy relationship (cause even when Do BongSoon is being stuborn and wants to find the culpirt herself no matter what, Ahn MinHyuk, while being mad at her, still supports her and lets her do.)
About the thriller part of the show, I found the bad guy really amazing. A true villan. He is a villan because that’s how he is. No other reason at all. Not sad background. He is just obssesed over a play and will do whatever it takes to make it real. And when Do BongSoon almost defeats him, he’ll do everything to make her suffer. He kind reminds me of Voldemort, saving the discances.
And lastly, I don’t know how to feel about the ganster plot. I kind of feel it’s used to add humour to the show and also it’s how we first know about Do BongSoon’s super strength and how (HUGE SPOILER HERE) Ahn MinHyuk saves her from being stabbed. But it’s just not my cup of tea.
And just for the gangster plot, I’m giving it a 9,5/10.
Just watch this scene and tell me this is NOT ALL OF US BEING EXPOSED.
