Korean Viewers Triggered By Strong Girl Hint of a Male Spin Off

-

 The Strong Girl franchise has 2 dramas so far, Strong Girl Do Bong Soon and Strong Girl Nam Soon. When the franchise said a third installment is in the works, everyone was excited. 




In the finale episode of the 2nd season, there was the hint of the potential story line for the reported 3rd season of the franchise - assumed to be along the premise of Strong Man Jang Chung Dong..

And the negative backlash started coming in. Online and on social media platforms, it was pointed out that having a male version will defeat the "strong girl" concept of the franchise.



But the world is full of men using their strengths. We don’t need to see another male character—one punching a computer monitor at that—to be the lead of a K-Drama.
Strong man… f*ck that.
The ‘Strong Girl’ franchise was meaningful because it was female character driven. Am I wrong?
A ‘strong’ man who smashes computer monitors after losing a PC game is not it.
Yeah, no. We’re not interested in watching a show about some loser.
Anger management, much?

Based on the character shown in the teaser, viewers were not happy with this character's behavior at all.


It looks like the male lead comes with an anger management issue.

WTF?

I tried watching the two female versions for… sh*ts and giggles. Which I failed. And no, I will not be watching the male spin-off.

But who wants to watch a ‘strong man’ going around smashing monitors? In fact, characters like that remind me of crimes happening in real life. Gives me goosebumps.

Um…? That defeats the purpose of the franchise. Isn’t it supposed to be about female characters being strong warriors? Flip that, and the plot is no longer special.

But who would watch Strong Man Jang Choong Dong?

The franchise writer, Baek Mi Kyung, hasn't responded to the comments yet.
