Following the huge success of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,” Park Hyung Sik took a rest and then got back to business in the short film “Two Rays Of Light,” he played a visually impaired young man who meets and falls in love with another visually impaired woman (played by Han Ji Min).

The movie was released in late December and received a favorable response from national and international fans.

In 2018, he took on the second leading role in the Korean remake of the popular US series titled ”Suits.” He also received praise for his acting and the drama performed well in ratings, going as high as 10% in some episodes.

“Suits” aired in the first half of 2018 on KBS. In that same year, he signed with the exclusive agency UAA which houses Song Hye Koy and Yoo Ah In. He explained in an interview that the two popular actors played a role in his decision to join the agency.

After the drama wrapped up, Park Hyung Sik made appearances here and there on sets to support his friends. He usually hangs out with “Hwarang” cast BTS V and Park Seo Joon, the trio usually posts photos of their gatherings every once and a while.

In that same year, he began filming for his first EVER feature film “Juror 8,” an interesting film about 8 jurors who participate in the first-ever civil criminal trial in South Korea. It marked his first acting role in a movie, his first big-screen debut.

“Juror 8” premiered in 2019, and it wasn’t a box office success, it performed below expectations in the box office, grossing 1.8$ million.

In mid-2019, the actor announced his plans to enlist in the military. On June 13, Park Hyung Sik started his military service; he received basic military training for five weeks before serving as an active-duty soldier in the military police department of the Capital Defense Command.

Park Bo Young

Park Bo Young is known by her dedicated fans for being more of movie star rather than a TV star. So it only made sense that following the conclusion of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” she took on a movie role.

After taking a break following the huge success of her JTBC drama, news confirmed she will play the love interest of Kim Young Kwang in the romantic movie “On Your Wedding Day.”

The filming began back in September 2017; the cast also includes Song Jae Rim and Shin So Yul. The film tells the love story of a man who finally gets to date the woman he always knew was the one. It was released in August 2018. The film was a success and drew in more than 21$ million in the box office.

In 2018, it was also announced that she will lead 2019 upcoming tvN drama titled “Abyss.” The drama aired its first episode in mid-2019. The drama started out with 3% in ratings but it slowly declined and maintained ratings in the 2% range for the majority of its run time. The drama wasn’t near as successful as “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,” it was also met with mixed reviews.

No further plans have been revealed for the actress following the wrap up of her drama “Abyss,” many people would like to see her again on screen soon.

Ji Soo cut his hair short, worked on his body and took on the role of a man who went to prison while defending his younger brother.

“Bad Guys 2” rated well but didn’t generate the same buzz the first season generated. However, Ji Soo had revealed that he had so much fun filming for the gore drama and that he developed a good relationship with the cast.

Jisoo doesn’t have any other plans set in stone for the rest of 2019- so far. Fans would love to see him in another leading role soon.

Jang Mi Kwan

The most hated character of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon’ had to be the creepy kidnapper played by model-turned-actor Jang Mi Kwan.

He attracted attention following the conclusion of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon,” he then joined the cast of the time travel themed drama “Man Hole” later in 2017.

He took on the role of the pharmacist, the love interest that Uee’s character.

Sadly, “Manhole” was the lowest-rated 2017 kdrama, and the 3rd lowest rated kdrama of all time on a public TV channel. After “Manhole” wrapped up, news of Jang Mi Kwan next project spread.

He was supposed to take on a main role in “Best Delivery People” which was led by Chae Soo Bin and Go Kyung Pyo. However, plans fell through and he ended up leaving the drama, the production found another actor to replace him in the role of the chaebol.

Jang Mi Kwan hasn’t taken on any projects since “Manhole,” looking through articles for his updates I wasn’t able to find anything of substance to add to his section.

So that was all there is to know about what the cast of “Strong Woman Do Bong Soon” has been up to since the drama aired 2 years ago.

Do you miss the drama? Would you like to see the cast reunite again soon?
