Little Women

Little women, loosely based on Louisa May Alcott's novel (only the characters though) is a thriller story of 3 sisters who deals with a society of rich people and their survival to sustain.

Little Women features an extremely well-written plot and air-tight characters. Kim Go-eun does an exceptional job with her acting as In-joo, but it is Uhm Ji-won as Won Sang-ah who takes the cake with her acting. From playing the victim card to acting like a total lunatic, fans really loved to hate Sang-ah. Despite not being a romance drama, fans started growing attached to In-joo and In-kyung's respective love interests, Do-il and Jong-ho.

Even though with 12 episodes (unlike generic 16 eps for a K Drama), Little Women is as intense as it can get with amazing and intense performances. The plot has twisted so often by this point that this cathartic image at the end of episode 11 brings us full circle, setting up the satisfying conclusion in the show's concluding episode.

There was a compelling message in Little Women, but what mattered most are the sensations it evoked. It gave us what we wanted to see, at the end. Little Women is an addition of amazing female led dramas (Why Her, Juvenile Justice, Extraordinary Attorney Woo) in 2022.

My Rating : 8.5/10.

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.

This show is amazingly good when it comes to plot-line, suspense, actors, cinematography - pretty much everything you would want in a good show! I know the new episodes air only on Saturdays and Sundays but it's worth waiting for to watch what happens next. Each character is inter-connected in a mystery, and the story line is very unique. I specifically like Kim Go-eun's role (Oh In-ju in the show) and acting. She plays her role really well!

The suspense and mystery keeps you glued to the show. You get hooked starting the first episode and crave to find out what happens next. Hats off to the writers and everyone who created this masterpiece!

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.

The story of three poor sisters, one is a reporter, one works in accounts and one is a student artist. All three become embroiled with a chaebol family after seventy billion won goes missing from a slush fund. The story moves at a swift pace and murder and mayhem follow when a sinister organisation seems to be involved. The first notable thing about the series is the outstanding performances by the entire cast which makes some of the insane plot believable. The series is not afraid to face the dark side of individual characters and even though a person can be inherently good they can also make mistakes. A well written series with a fast twisty pace which is definitely worth a watch.
