<p>Unless you&#x27;ve been hiding under a rock, you should know that one of the K-dramas rocking the Netflix world right now is &#x27;<strong>Strong Girl Nam-soon</strong>&#x27;, a spinoff to the 2017 hit, &#x27;Strong Girl Bong-soon&#x27;. No worries if you haven&#x27;t seen the first show, as the storylines stand independently of each other. The 2023 version of the drama still features the same action-comedy theme as the first one, with a touch of romance here and there. Starring in the drama is 29-year-old beaut <strong>Lee Yoo-mi</strong> of Squid Game fame. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/85225205-d17c-4711-bf33-76e4e28e6688_385863468_128417733694124_5173810570022183273_n.jpeg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">Lee Yoo-mi<span id="isPasted" style="color:rgb(65, 65, 65);letter-spacing:normal;orphans:2;text-align:left;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;widows:2;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;white-space:normal;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);text-decoration-thickness:initial;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;display:inline !important;float:none"><em> @leeyoum262  </em></span></span></span></span></div>In the show, she stars as the drama&#x27;s heroine, a girl whose strength is undeniable.
