Strongest Deliveryman (2017)

Respect the the Delivery Person...

Everyone is trying to survive in this world rich or poor, but everyone's ways are different. some people do hard work and some people take the road to gambling. The struggles of being a delivery person are portrayed well, and how they are abused for not being on time, and the cold food etc, it had a realistic touch.

LIKED
-The first half of the story dealt with finding a person blocking the road, but I think wouldn’t it be better to find the person with whom the accident happened. Also, we could see clearly accidents happened due to the reckless driving, ALWAYS BE CAREFUL WHILE DRIVING AND FOLLOW TRAFFIC RULES.

- Dan Ah, is the only female delivery woman. She was a strong girl from head to toe, though she had a mean personality I could clearly read her pain.

DISLIKED
-Kang Soo's hairstyle was very distracting, but it was never made fun of, and it eventually gets fixed without any reason.

-Ko Won Hee's character didn’t exist, it wouldn't have made a difference. She was annoying and clingy in the initial but was fine later on, but still, think her role didn’t make a difference.

-The unreasonable love triangle could have been done better. Or say why was it even there. It could have been totally avoided. couldn’t it be two people meeting and helping, why do writers have to make them into a one-sided love experiment?

-The ending was too abrupt with the 16-episode length. It could have given a good closure for at least one full episode rather than just a few minutes. also, the blooming of the STRONGEST DELIVERYMAN app could have been done more better, not just for food but like the Amazon app, more benefits in just one app.

Review

I really love slice of life dramas. I feel like I get to lean some things about aspects of the culture. In this case it was food deliver and being a delivery person. It reminded me a lot of another drama I like a lot "Fight My Way" where the characters struggle with making a living in jobs that don't pay much beyond necessities. I loved Chae Soo-bin in "I am Not a Robot" and had I known she was in it would have watched this a lot sooner. Like most Korean dramas the title and summaries really do not do it credit. There is a villian, bromances, secrets in the past, and all the elements that make these compelling. The 2nd couples romance was well paced, believable and very heart warming. And there was even a third and forth couple although their stories were much more in the background. The rich versus the poor was another aspect explored in this drama and there was a thread of good versus evil. It was, for me, practically perfect in every way. I highly recommend this to anyone who likes romance, slice of life or who likes these actors. It was enjoyable the whole way through.

Spoilers** I do wish it was clear in the end whether, or not, the grandmother knew he was her grandson. She was such a nice person and he was so good to her I would have liked to have known she was told he was her grandson. It was not clear whether his brother was his half brother or if his mom had been pregnant before leaving with him where he would have been his full brother. That also was not fully fleshed out. Kang-soo and Dan-ah had really started the more intimate portion of their relationship so it really felt like they just got together fully. I think that is a cultural difference in the US they would be viewed as maybe a serious dating relationship no guarantee it was headed to anything permanent. But in Korean culture it may be obvious that there relationship was permanent. I liked that Kang-soo and his mom seemed to be on better terms but that he had not completely forgiven her. So there were some really small points that could have been clarified but there were very minor detractors.

Ep. 12 - it is beginning to drag...  this show you can watch with one eye close, it means you don't really have to pay  attention to what they are saying because the plot is so simple, some scenes are beginning to be corni and him being good two shoes and having a solution all the time.  It is not the type of drama that will keep you on your toes.  Side note: I cannot stand his curly hair in the first few episodes and i cannot stand the nose of the 2 leading ladies - CSB & GWH  it is both too fake (reminds me of Michael Jackson).  It is now beginning to be a chore to watch.

middle east would be the most stable place in the world before i see a drama with bigot characters and hope for their success and progress.and that's exactly what happened. i started this drama with high hopes and promise of a strong FL but this strong woman's first idea when thinking the ML is a cross dresser is to fire him and thinking how she shouldn't have hired him in the first place.(and happens because she saw a girly dress stuck in the door of His room(that was his house and his property) and HAD to know why there was a girly cloth there i mean talk about stupid nosy girls stucking their head where it doesn't belong)and later on she thinks better and tries to black mail him into staying quiet.
any way if she was a supporting character MAYBE i could watch itbut being the lead i had to see her stupid face every where soooo i'm out
ps :i'm never gonna watch anything fron the writer ever again
