Las hermanas

Korean Drama " Little Women " is the story of three sisters, completely different from each other, being drawn into the world of the rich and priviliged.

The drama is more aesthetics and deep dialogues at times, sucrificing its plot for it, but the overall result is intense. The story is complicated, slowly being built up, revealing each characters' real self and motives. The mystery with the rooms and the suicide case were dark and unpredictable and kept things interesting. The romance, on the other hand, was moody and more of an outline in the end.

The performances, in addition, were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

I really liked the first episode I thought it would portray hardships, fundamentals of poverty, broken family dynamics etc. The concept of doing better than what your circumstances allow. But this turned quickly into a murder mystery. I hate in general this genre, it doesn't feel suspenseful to me and often there are unrealistic aspects that make it unrelatable and not rewarding to watch. I tried to look past that and the made-up drug flower that is constantly in the main story. After the first episodes, I at least wanted to give it a fair shot. I even thought that Kim Go-eun who I was underwhelmed with in the past was decent. But I just watched the sixth episode and just had it. The secret society, military power dynamics is so fake. The best unrealistic stories are when they feel authentic to their universe. But this show played out in "real life" and everything felt so fabricated, I felt done. But I forced myself to continue and I will grant this that it was watchable. The last episodes was decent and the complex story made me almost like it. I didn't mind how it all wrapped up, but damn what a drag this was, it didn't do it for me.

I don't understand the negative reviews. Up until episode 8, the plot is good and always keeps you on edge. The direction is brilliant. The music is too good. The camera angle and shots of some scenes is just stunning and really speak about the attention to details. Plot starts to heat up near episode 7 and you begin to understand each sister's actions, even the youngest's.

This is going to be one of the few Korean Series that I will rate ten out of ten (at least for now, hopefully it stays that way) and I have given a 10 only to like 2-3 Kdramas.

So, with that said, not choosing to watch this amazing series will be your own loss.

A stellar edge-of-the-seat thriller with twists that make you gasp and sit up! The show has a dark theme yet enables viewers to admire the writing, cinematography, direction and music. Every episode was eventful, making the viewer increasingly curious about the premise. Kim Go-eun is a familiar face, at least for me, who is the thread that holds this story together, whilst Nam Ji-hyun plays her sister. The latter ends up being the dark horse that manages to bring the story together and is a significant part of revealing the storyline to the viewers. A noteworthy mention for Uhm Ji-won, who portrays her character with utmost sincerity and dedication, leaving you in awe of her performance. The unique storyline with a noir-esque vibe makes you reminisce about the old-school writing style. Watch it to be amazed at how the story unfolds. Please do not read any spoilers. I promise you it will be worth it!!

This show does not make any sense. It felt like I was losing IQ with every minute I watched. There is a weird double plot that basically is the same and the reactions of characters in certain situations are just odd and would never happen like this in real life. With Korean movies and TV shows I sometimes get the feeling that the producers/directors have a checklist that there must be hate, love, anger, sadness and happiness covered for every character in every episode and this is done so blatantly that it makes me want to stop watching. The plot of this show is ridiculous and the drama feels artificial and forced.

6/10 would not recommend.
