After the white knuckle ending of the previous episode, we waited eagerly for episode 7 of Strong Girl Nam Soon.
Although the writers would not kill the female lead so early in the drama, Ri Hwa Ja’s attack on Gang Nam Soon was nothing short of hair-raising. This act of hers might be the last straw that shatters the minuscule faith Hwang Geum Ju had in her to pieces.
Meanwhile, it is to be seen whether Hwang Geum Ju’s wealth can get her into the upper echelons of Doogo. Ryu Shi Oh also has an eye on Gang Nam Soon’s strength. So far, he appears to possess immeasurable strength, too, but its source is unclear.

The manager shows the video of Nam Soon stealing from the warehouse to Shi Oh. She is called to the CEO’s office. Nam Soon is excited at the opportunity, but Hee Sik is worried.

What Is the Current Status of Hwang Geum Ju’s Infiltration Plan for Doogo?
Geum Ju baits Shi Oh through a game of Indian Poker. She offers to provide the financial resources Doogo would need, essentially replacing the current financier of the company.
Geum Ju meets up with her Opulentia contact and is notified that Shi Oh was in Russia before founding Doogo.
On the other hand, Shi Oh takes a look at Geum Ju’s assets. He is surprised at her wealth and asks for a detailed background about her.
Later that night, Shi Oh learns from his secretary that Geum Ju recently found her lost daughter. The news organisation she owns had published an article about the same. The news article had a picture of someone else and not the real Nam Soon.

That evening, Hee Sik receives an invite from Geum Ju to the family party.

Strong Girl Nam Soon Episode 7 Review
A lot happens in this episode. Certain parts of the plot are subtly set in motion.
Hee Sik’s team leader seems to have given in to the temptation of the drug.
Nam In has consumed the drug—the diet pill—and it seems to affect him negatively. The loss of appetite and increased water intake (sauna scene) are the very first symptoms.
It seems that the drug is not restricted to diet pills. A Doogo courier was found on the streets. Earlier in the episode, he was speaking with Nam Soon about having consumed an energy drink. Crushed cans were also seen on the dashboard of his delivery truck.
It makes us wonder what else these people have turned the rug into.
While on the topic of antagonists, someone please answer when they became such eye candies! Is Ryu Shi Oh the antagonist or the second male lead?
Sir, this is illegal.#StrongGirlNamsoonEp7pic.twitter.com/3cISw5zVD0

On a lighter note, Hee Sik and Nam Soon have grown relatively closer. Hee Sik telling Nam Soon to be kind only to him was heart-fluttering. As was their playful banter.
Nam Soon & Hee Sik are gonna be the cutest couple. She mimics him "Don't be cheeky"🤣
Him trying to say she looks pretty in that outfit.
She hit him & said "Catch me if you can"!😂
He winded up his arm & chased her.😀They're so cute!💕#StrongGirlNamSoon #StrongGirlNamSoonEp7 pic.twitter.com/QsUWQt2Lq4

And their bonding during the party. The two confessing that they lightened up each other’s moods made this heart grow wings and fly away.
╱╱ THIS SCENE. 🤗🩶 I love how they're so comfortable around each other. It's pretty much a confession. And they both know they feel the same. #StrongGirlNamSoonEp7 #StrongGirlNamSoon pic.twitter.com/Xattdoq35K

Speaking of the party, that was some party. Geum Ju’s poorly veiled hints to Hee Sik flustered him. And then there was the song she sang with her mother.
Not them mother and daughter suggesting them soon to be couple to fasten the deed of giving her a grand-daughter through a song. She is truly one of a kind.#StrongGirlNamSoonEp7 #StrongGirlNamSoon pic.twitter.com/wqza6CdSXg

Did anyone notice Geum Ju and Nam Soon’s entry into the party? The live band was playing Smooth Operator by Sade, and Geum Ju was in a neon dress. It was the same colour as the underwear Hee Sik was wearing while dancing to the same song in episode 2. That entire party was one hilarious moment after another.
