[Dong-A.com]

Lee Yu-mi began her adjustment period to Korea and Kim Jong-un began his drug-sucking war against drugs in South Korea.

In the second episode of JTBC’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Strong Woman Gang Nam-soon’ (written by Baek Mi-kyung, directed by Kim Jeong-sik and Lee Kyung-sik), which aired on the 8th, Kang Nam-soon’s (played by Lee Yu-mi) fierce struggle to ‘survive in Korea’ was depicted. The full-fledged appearance of Hwang Geum-joo (played by Kim Jong-un), who moves to change the world, and ‘villain’ Ryu Shio (played by Byun Woo-seok) raised curiosity about the confrontation that will unfold in the future. In addition, the ending where Kang Nam-soon and Kang Bong-go (Lee Seung-jun) face each other also heightened expectations.

On this day, Kang Nam-soon had a fateful first meeting with police officer Kang Hee-sik (played by Ong Seong-woo). Kang Hee-sik and her colleagues searched people’s luggage to find drugs that might be hidden somewhere on Kang Nam-soon’s plane. Gangnam Sun, with the mane and ankles of her horse ‘Pappa’ and a heavy golden magic wand, was bound to catch Kang Hee-sik’s eye. The magic wand was Kang Nam-soon’s only clue to finding her mother, but to Kang Hee-sik, it was just a suspicious object that was the subject of her investigation. Kang Nam-soon said, “This is not possible. “I need this to find my mother,” she said, holding on so as not to have her magic wand taken away. Kang Hee-sik, who read her sincerity in those words, said, “I’m a police officer. “I will find your mother,” she promised. In the end, she trusted Kang Nam-soon and gave him her magic wand.

There was another unexpected difficulty. Gangnam Sun was scammed by her accommodation. In the blink of an eye, Gang Nam-soon, including her cell phone and all her money, was taken away and she was forced to hit the streets. But she was not Gangnam Soon to be frustrated. She headed to Han River Park in Gangnam and created her own ger using her discarded banners. He then courageously went to the police station and reported the fraudster, and even confirmed the whereabouts of the police ‘liver transplant(?)’. When they returned to the ger, unexpectedly, homeless people Ji Hyeon-soo (played by Joo Woo-jae) and Teacher Noh (played by Gyeong-ri) had taken their place. Gang Nam-soon eventually created a new ger for the two, and they became ‘good neighbors’, living in gers named ‘Arabesque Crown Age Luxury Park Mansion’ and ‘Metro Trump Square Chola Jota Tower’, respectively.

The crisis had no end. There were protests calling for the ger to be demolished, and a fight broke out and the person was taken to the police station. As the situation gradually becomes more complicated, Gangnam Sun says, “I just came to look for her mother. “This is not what I wanted,” she said, shedding tears without realizing it. At that moment, police officer Kang Hee-sik appeared before him like a savior. Kangnam Sun was relieved to hear Kang Hee-sik’s kind greetings, and she expressed her gratitude, saying that thanks to him, she was able to protect the magic wand. Kang Hee-sik’s favor continued. He promised to find her mother and catch her fraud. He also helped her get her stolen passport replaced. Gangnam Sun headed there with the discount coupon for ‘Bong Photo Gallery’ he gave her to take her passport photo. Surprisingly, the owner of the photo studio was none other than his father, Kang Bong-go, whom he had separated from in Mongolia a long time ago. The moment he saw Kang Nam-soon, the sight of her father, Kang Bon-go, who unconsciously felt attracted to her, amplified curiosity about the next story of the fateful reunion.

Meanwhile, Hwang Geum-joo heard the news of Dr. Park’s death due to drug addiction. In fact, Hwang Geum-ju thought that if she lived a good life, God would protect her daughter Gang Nam-soon somewhere, and she worked as Gangnam’s bat girl, ‘Leather Boots’. Nevertheless, the shadow of drug crime was gradually growing larger. In the end, Hwang Geum-ju said, “I will solve it myself. It can’t be like this. “Korea is no longer a drug-free country,” he said with a new awakening.

The identity of Lee Hwa-ja (played by Choi Hee-jin) was also revealed. Hwang Geum-joo, who had been suspicious of Lee Hwa-ja ever since she and Gil Joong-gan (played by Kim Hae-sook) did not synchronize with him, eventually found out that she was not his real daughter. However, Hwang Geum-ju decided to leave him alone for now. Meanwhile, at the ‘Heritage Club’, the first chaebol gathering he attended, he encountered chaebols who were only concerned about their own safety. To them, the golden pillar that shouted “For a world where everyone can live well” was a clearly angular stone. Nevertheless, there was someone who had the same thoughts as Hwang Geum-ju. A man approached him while avoiding others’ eyes and held out a mysterious business card, saying, “If you want to change the world, go here.”The sight of Hwang Geum-ju facing the door to a new world made people look forward to his next move as a hero.

The true nature of the drugs that are disrupting the world has also been revealed. The power of the new synthetic drug, which is more powerful than anything else in existence, kills people in even a very small amount, and is difficult to detect, was truly terrifying. And the identity of the villain in charge of all these drugs was none other than Ryu Shio (played by Byun Woo-seok). Attention is focused on what he is trying to achieve through drugs and the story that will accelerate in earnest.
