The newly released poster gives us a glimpse of the ultimate showdown that is about to happen in the show. It represents crime blended with comedy between Gang Nam Soon’s family and the cunning villain Ryu Shi Oh, as played by Byun Woo Seok. In the poster, Nam Soon, with her confident smile and powerful punch, demonstrates that she is capable of taking down bad guys with her fists alone. Hwang Geum Joo, riding a cool motorbike, is prepared to engage in thrilling high-speed chases, much like Gangnam’s own Batgirl. Gil Joong Gan additionally appears very strong and cheerful at the same time. On the flip side of the poster, we meet Kang Hee Shik, a fiery detective, and Ryu Shi Oh, a cold-blooded antagonist.

The Mind-Blowing Storyline and the Power-Play of Superwomen
Lee Yoo Mi plays the role of Gang Nam Soon, the 6th cousin of Do Bong Soon, and is blessed with incredible superpowers. In the series, it shows that Gang Nam Soon goes missing as a child in Mongolia and sets out on a journey to meet her long-lost mother years later.
She reaches Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, in the quest, and fate reunites her with her mother, Hwang Geum-Joo (played by Kim Jung-Eun). The mother is shown to be a wealthy and righteous woman who, after losing her daughter, dedicated her life to good deeds. Adding to the family’s legacy of superpowers in women is Gil Joong-Gan (played by Kim Hae-Sook), the grandmother who also possesses superhuman strength, just like Gang Nam Soon.
This trio of powerful women find themselves entangled in a Gangnam drug case that is being investigated by Lieutenant Kang Hee Sik (played by Ong Seong Wu), a charismatic detective who is set on a mission to unveil the drug case. It is believed that Gang Nam Soon will also be attracted to Detective Kang Hee Sik. Kang Hee Sik is shown to be the youngest officer at Gangnam Han River Police Station and is known for his unwavering commitment to justice, knowledge, and moral character.
But where’s the bad guy? Ryu Shi Oh (played by Byun Woo Seok), a villain driven by insatiable greed who also serves as the CEO of Dugo, a sales and distribution company. The best part? Park Bo Young and Park Hyung Sik are all set to make cameo appearances in the series as Do Bong Soon and Ahn Min Hyuk.
