Review

Strong Girl Nam-Soon episode 6 is packed with a lot of storylines and subplots that can distract and even slightly perturb one.
There’s too much going on for what should be a simple entertaining story about overpowered women.
It’s not that these supporting characters aren’t interesting or funny, but these little trickles of runtime don’t allow for proper exploration and the screentime for so many subplots adds up to a lot.
Nam-Soon’s cheeky and overconfident flair might prove to be a mistake, but only time will tell if that becomes true or if Hee-Sik’s warnings are unwarranted concerns.
