As Três Irmãs

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.

There are a lot of good parts about this series. The strongest one being the acting, especially from the female lead, Kim Go-Eun. Her delivery is incredibly good. I also really liked the suspense and action in this series.

Most of the characters are really well thought out and developed. The story is told from the perspective of all the different characters and their stories. All of the stories are intertwined and end up being connected to one another at some point. This part of the story is executed very well.

Even though most of the characters have great development, I feel like some were still definitely used as "filler characters". I also feel like the plot in general has some inconsistencies and plot holes. Some aspects of the story were confusing to understand as well. I think the ending does kind of pull it all together though.

The use of color and symbols in this show was absolutely stunning. The bright blue flowers, the red shoes, the red blood, the beige clothing.. it is all so incredibly memorable for me.

The entire show felt like a piece of art.

The plot was actually a little less memorable than the visuals, but it was very suspenseful and exciting. Throughout the entire show you never really know who to trust.

The characters were great, the acting was phenomenal.

Despite all the great things about the show, it does get 8/10 becuase the plot seemed a bit rushed at the end and not all of the plot lines got tied together.

But it's worth the watch.

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!
