Strong Girl Nam Soon is currently the talk of the town in the world of K-Dramas. The series is a spin-off of the popular 2017 fantasy drama Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and is set in the same universe.
Strong Girl Nam Soon ended this week, but the buzz from industry insiders suggests that a third part is already on the cards. A K-drama being renewed for a second season is rare, but the immense popularity of the Strong Girl series has made it possible.
The Strong Girl universe focuses on young female protagonists who’ve inherited superhuman strength from their maternal side. Strong Girl Nam Soon is the story of Gang Nam Soon, who uses her superpowers to fight criminals and bring justice to the world.
Lee Yoo-Mi stars as Gang Nam Soon, while Ong Seong-Wu stars as Kang Hee Sik in the series. Kang Hee Sik is a detective who assists Gang Nam Soon in one of her drug cases in the series.
The finale of the second installment aired on November 26, 2023, so fans are eagerly waiting for a third installment in the series of JTBC’s Strong Girl dramas.
JTBC has confirmed that a third installment in the Strong Girl franchise is in the works, but they are currently focusing on another project. Although it may take time, the Strong Girl series is likely to be renewed for a third part.
“We have plans for another installment, but we are currently concentrating on writing another project.”

What Can We Expect From Strong Girl Nam Soon Season 3?
Strong Girl Nam Soon ended this week, so it is too early to talk about potential storylines. As of now, JTBC has not revealed any details about the cast or plot of season 3.
Yes, I feel the second season was not as expected, but the third season could introduce a new protagonist and story. It could also continue the storyline explored in Strong Girl Nam Soon. Strong Girl Nam Soon focuses on three generations of strong women with superpowers, so there’s a lot of scope to explore further into the story.
Current cast members from Strong Girl Nam Soon could reprise their roles in the story. Another interesting way to connect the three parts could be to bring back characters from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon, the first part of the franchise.
Strong Girl Nam Soon is not a direct sequel to the first part, so there is a high chance that the third season will also introduce us to new characters. But both the JTBC dramas are written by Baek Mi Kyung, so the essence will remain the same if he also writes the third season.
