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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
