Korean television network JTBC has revealed that it has plans for a third instalment of its Strong Woman series of K-dramas.
Today (November 20), YTN reported JTBC has plans to continue its hit series of Strong Woman K-dramas, citing unnamed industry sources. The second instalment of the series, Strong Woman Nam-soon, is currently airing.
JTBC later confirmed the report in a statement to Newsen, saying: “We have plans for another instalment, but we are currently concentrating on writing another project.”
The original series, Strong Woman Bong-soon, first aired in 2017 and was led by Park Bo-young, Park Hyun-sik and Ji Soo. The K-drama followed its superpowered titular character as she moves up in the game design world, and becomes romantically torn between her childhood crush and new CEO.
The ongoing spin-off Strong Woman Nam-soon, led by Squid Game breakout star Lee Yoo-mi, began airing in October. It follows the titular character, a distant relative of Bong-soon, who returns to Korea from Mongolia after she was lost there as a child. Upon reuniting with her family, she starts to learn about her lineage.
Strong Woman Nam-soon currently airs every Saturday and Sunday night on JTBC in South Korea, and is also available to stream on Netflix in selected regions.
