Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 3 Recap

After looking at Nam-soon’s face, Bong-go agrees to take her passport size photo. He feels a connection with her but before he can confirm she is Nam-soon, she leaves after learning her passport has been found. At the police station when Hee-sik asks her about pressing charges on the scammer, a woman barges in and charges Nam-soon for assaulting her husband at the park. Nam-soon agrees that she indeed hurt the man since he was trying to attack her friends. Hee-sik doesn’t believe a petite girl like her could have caused so much damage.

After Nam-soon leaves, Hee-sik joins his fellow officers who watch the viral video of Nam-soon carrying a whole tree with her hands. Hee-sik gets baffled. At the party, Geum-ju meets Ryu Shi-o (she’s unaware of his involvement in the drug business). Back in their home, Hwa-ja brings in her thug friends and holds a party. She mentions to her friends that she has found a possible Nam-soon and that they will have to kill her so she can remain at the house as the daughter.

Joong-gan goes to the police station to clear off a case and she meets Bong-soon and her husband Min-hyuk. Bong-soon is the relative of Joong-gan, and the women of their family share similar strengths. Bong-go asks his son to read tarot cards since he believes the girl he saw was Nam-soon. When his son reads, he says Nam-soon is coming to them very soon.

Hee-sik and his fellow cop check out a victim’s house and learn she has also consumed the same drug. He struggles to understand how the drug was carried to them. He finds a mask at her place and takes it along with him. Later in the episode, he finds that the mask is the drug. When Hee-sik goes to Nam-soon’s ger, he receives a phone call from an official who sends him a list of missing children. Hee-sik learns that Nam-soon is the daughter of the famous businesswoman Geum-ju and Bong-go.

Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 3 Review

The cameo by Park Hyung-sik and Park Bo-young was so unexpected! They hardly got 10 minutes but with just that they made the entire episode wholesome. The Park-Park couple’s chemistry is still off the chart and both of them looked stunning as usual. It’s clever how they pulled in the main leads of Strong Woman Do Bong-soon to successfully captivate the viewers.

Nam-soon is such a cute character and it’s nice that she finally found her family. Hee-sik is already in love with Nam-soon and it’s going to be a lovely journey to watch them both spend their time together. More of Geum-ju and Bong-go’s romance must be explored because their comedic nature is one of the series’ highlights.
