• I am really enjoying this, so congrats for the amazing ratings. My only complaint is the editing, but other than that it's great.

• My husband and I are totally enjoying this one. Has him laughing out loud quite a bit! And I think he has a little crush on Park Bo Young...I don't blame him. :)

• well goblin is a fluffy rom com too and it's got high rating. so it's not the first one in 2017 romcom got high rating.

  • With KES penning the drama, Goblin had built up hype right from the get go. Unlike SWDBS, except for PBY, the rest of the actors are not so well-known. And let's not mention jtbc is not TvN. The station has not had a hit for years. What the drama achieved surely is from its own merits. Stop being bitter.

    • Well, I assume korean really wanting something light in friday - saturday night.

    • if im not wrong jtbc has never reached this high of a number for a primetime drama right? Heck its even way higher than the numbers the current Tvn dramas are pulling in.
      And im sure that while Jtbc ratings are consistently lower than tvn they've had quite a couple of well buzzed quality hits especially last year. Ms Temper and Nam Jung gi (MUST WATCH!!!!), Age of Youth, This week my wife had an affair etc.

  • goblin is so 2016.

• I love this drama so much, though I feel a bit annoyed that Bong Soon is somewhat dim, thank goodness 0ark Bo Young made her loveable. I love all the casts but I feel that Park Hyung Sik not getting enough credits for his wonderful portrayal. A lot of actors played eccentric characters but PHS nailed it by being subtle instead of coming off OTT and appearing like a parody. To me, he is the one getting me hooked.

• I feel like the elmo gif describes how I feel right now.

  Continue to rise, ratings. Rise.

• all three young people get me hook.

• The drama is cute and funny maybe that's why, most of the current dramas that's airing are heavy drama like defendant, voice, and others, I feel like this fulfill the romcom some of those audience needs

• Strong Woman has become my cracker of the week. It released my stress with all the hilarious slapstick. Not only the three main leads, I also love the thugs to the bits LOL. Park Hyung Sik didn't actually lose anything from the epic fail Hwarang. On the contrary, he gained a lot of fans through his dreamy and mesmerizing interpretation of the king.

  • agree. in fact PHS was everyone's bias in Hwarang. His character had the most charisma and also better chemistry with the female lead. I like Park Seo Joon but his character and Go Ara's was hard to like.
    PHS also stole the thunder from the main leads in High Society. He was cute and had gd chemistry with NJH in a weekemd drama. For me he hits a new high in Strong Woman, showcasing his ability as a lead. What stands out the most is he could do subtle acting, he can do comedic without being over the top. Hes really making his mark in acting. I wasnt a fan before (im a Park Bo Young fan) but i am now.
    His instagram account by the way finally reach 1 million

    Because i love Strong Woman so much and its my happy pill too, im cheering on the drama n hope as koala puts it - continue to rise meteroically..

    • @sharreb__you nailed it about PHS i also noticed him in high soceity he is way more better than the lead star and in hwarang.now in SWDBS his chemistry with PBY is awesome...way to go Park Hyung Sik you deserved to be the lead star.

  • Those two thugs trying to recruit Bong Soon are hilarious, I nearly died of laughter at the one struggling to eat his walnut tart.

    Park Hyung Shik has really come a long way, I initially wondered if he could match Park Bo Young's acting but he's great and I really enjoy them individually and together.

    You know a drama's good when there are practically no defensive comments about its actors, people seem quite chill/passive about the few criticisms it does get.

  • Agree. He breaks my heart in Hwarang when his character was thumped down badly in the second half. To me, Park Hyung Sik is Hwarang. And SWDBS just cemented my love for him.

• I find Ji Soo is soo darn annoying in this drama. Monotone. Not much difference from his previous work.

• I'm so glad for this little drama. I hope it continues to rise in ratings. The main reason it's such a hit is because of PBY portrayal. If it had been another actress, we would have found it annoying. She's so tiny and adorable, who wouldn't like her? And together with PBY, they make an awesome pair. Jisoo's role is boring but things may pick up once he realises that he likes her too?
