Geum-ju arranges a funeral for Hwa-ja and ensures her send-off is done well. She is determined to bring down Shi-o for causing harm to her adopted daughter.

She goes to the police station and informs Hee-sik and his team about Hwa-ja’s murder and the threatening text from Shi-o. She calls Shi-o and asks him to face her instead of cowardly killing others. However, he simply cuts the call, triggering her.

Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 15 Review
Nam-soon’s acting was so bad in this episode, I can’t lie. This is literally the second last episode which should have created so much tension and anticipation that the viewers will eagerly wait for the grand finale. However, this episode flew by without any flavour. It was all about Shi-o hiding inside someplace and getting mad at Nam-soon. Why would he even make Nam-soon consume drugs knowing she’s much stronger than he thinks?
What’s with these three ladies and their connection? First of all, Shi-o isn’t even a big dangerous villain. He is a brainy guy who could have been handled with some logical moves. Rather they’re all making it look like he is extremely dangerous. Not really, he is just smart. I have no idea what Hee-sik is doing in this series because he seems to be really closing the ends while the three ladies are the ones opening up a fight and finding a way out. Either way, there was no powerful scene in this episode and it felt absolutely bland.
