Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 10 Recap

Nam-soon acts along and pretends like she isn’t bothered about Geum-ju’s possible death. Shi-o learns that Geum-ju isn’t dead but is completely injured. However, the truth is sooner revealed to the viewers that Geum-ju has arranged a stand-in and she’s completely safe. She predicted Shi-o would cause her harm and planned to fake the accident perfectly.

Initially, he uses his extreme strength to push the men but eventually gives up and lets them carry him away. He casually walks away looking completely lifeless.

Shi-o then tells Nam-soon that he’ll drop her at her house. Hee-sik texts her to go to his place and she tells Shi-o the address. At Hee-sik’s place, Nam-soon takes a nap.

Nam-soon tells Hee-sik that Shi-o consumes the drug and also drinks some sort of water. This makes Hee-sik understand that the antidote which Marie-kim mentioned is the main business of Doogo. Apparently, they’re trying to bring in drug addicts and sell their antidote to make a profit. That same night when Hee-sik munches some Ramen, Nam-soon asks for a bite. He however gives her a smooch and the couple blush.

Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 10 Review

Hee-sik and Nam-soon’s chemistry is off the charts and I love it. Though it was evident they were head over heels from the very first episode, the way they genuinely take things slowly makes their relationship feel natural. Their vibe together is a hundred percent worth the watch. Though Shi-o and Nam-soon also have a similar chemistry, we know for sure he is a terrible villain with a violent past so he’s definitely not a better choice than Hee-sik.

The drug business’ main reason is finally understood and now the next step would be to stop the business and save the people. Nam-in’s situation will now give the family members the fire to work quickly so that more victims can be saved. Song Bread’s identity still stands a big mystery and there are chances of him being the main villain.
