It was good but it could have been great!
A solid 8/10 for me.General Remarks:
Excellent writing, brilliant acting and a suspenseful story that keeps you on your toes.
1. Story about 3 sisters with absentee parents.
2. A mystery surrounding a girl who stole 70 billion won and left it in the account of one of the sisters before she was killed.
3. Main focus is one of the sisters trying to find out what happened to her friend and why she was killed.
4. Characters mysteriously being killed and willing to go to their graves to find this stolen money.
5. The interconnected storylines and drama in each of the sister's and their enemies lives.
6. Mystery behind the blue ghost orchid and the people wrapped up in a society that pledges their lives to it.
Let's start with the positives:
I really enjoyed the storylines of all the sisters. I felt like In Joo and In Kyung always had to be so strong for In Hye and tried their best to take care of and provide for In Hye because of again. absent parents.
I thought the plot was amazing and unlike any other drama I had ever seen or watched. I didn't know so much about orchids and I thought it was refreshing to see a show centered around a rare species of orchid (the orchid of death) and the whole group of people wrapped up in the organization.
I found In Joo battling what to do with all that money to be a realistic portrayal because really and truly most persons wouldn't know where to begin if that amount of money somehow fell into their hands.
I like how everyone's storyline became interconnected and it was like each character was serving a greater purpose in Song-A's "play" of sorts. They were all like her little dolls and she basically called all the shots. At first I was led to believe that she was being forced and coerced by Park Jae Sang but soon it became apparent that everything she was doing was a ruse. She believed herself to be an actress and presented herself differently to each person. Each person was treated like a new canvas or stage of sorts.
Personally I think Sang A was the most interesting character because she was a truly evil serial killer / psychopath. She had no qualms or regard for other people or their feelings (typical sociopath behavior). Finally, a villain being a true villain without any regretful backstory as to why they became that way. Song A was just born that way and though they tried to justify her actions by saying she killed her mom on accident and was living with the guilt and the trauma in her "closed room" (ie. the door that she never opened) Imo her recreating that tragedy was sooooo sick and I loved every minute of it. She was downright horrible and at a point I believed she was going to try and take everything away from both In Joo and In Kyung. I thought In Hye would have never escaped her and she was gonna get rid of Hyo Rin and mold In Hye in her image – creating the perfect daughter. Thank god that didn't happen though!
In Joo and Do Il left much to be wanted at the end – I am disappointed that we did't even get a kiss or a hug lol! The chemistry was there and despite everything they went through you could feel the sheer care they developed for one another. They may not have ended up together but I believe important lessons we learned. No amount of money in the world could make In Joo happy / satisfied and that she would give it all up in a heart beat to protect her sisters and the people she truly loves and cares about. Through In Joo, Do Il too realized that there are some people worth fighting for and more important than money.
I never thought In Kyung would give Jong Ho a chance but I lwas literally so happy at the end when they finally got together and admitted their feelings for one another.
Though In Hye was a really complicated character I thought her message at the end was sweet and behind her depressive and cold hearted exterior was a troubled teenager with a heart. She did care for In Joo and In Kyung but just had a sh*tty way of showing it. Her message to her sisters was sweet and I could kind of understand her reasoning for being distant and wanting to find herself first before appearing in front of them again. Even though she appreciated all the sacrifices they made for her in her life she needed to go her own way and find independence.
Negatives:
I could not stand their mother. She was awful and didn't give a singular f*ck about her kids and it was so infuriating to watch. She took her daughters field trip money and just ran away with the sh*tty excuse that In Hye is young and has so many opportunities to travel and that she needs to go now because she's "old" essentially. That was just soooo absurd to me considering the fact that the mother knew damn well that was In Hye's dream and the thing that would make her the happiest????? Imo she stifled those poor girls and was not fit to be a parent, not to mention their good for nothing father who the mother ran away to help and barely heard from ever since. In Joo and In Kyung practically raised themselves with the help of the great aunt who raised in Kyung for a while and then them turning around and raising In Hye.
I found In Hye to be ungrateful and selfish and the fact that she chose to find herself and travel the world with her friend rather than stay with her sisters even when the danger was eminent left me shocked.
I wish In Kyung's alcoholism was tackled more and we could see her path to recovery not like she just woke up and magically got over it. It's a touchy subject yes but I feel like many people struggle with alcoholism and it would've been nice to see a kdrama tackle such an important issue in the midst of all the mystery and chaos going on.
I wish we saw more character development but I understand it was hard to do so in 12 episodes.
I thought the last episode was rushed but again it was hard to fit everything into 12 episodes. I felt like Sang A died a quick and mildly painful death but she deserved to suffer wayyy more for her crimes... so it was upsetting seeing her die without having to atone for any of it while Hwa Young was badly burnt, survived and still had to go to prison. Imo Hwa Young has mental issues that also need to be taken care of because I don't know how someone can endure all that + their fake death and still be mentally sound. Also I am not sure how I feel about her getting involved in another gardening program (like especially if it has anything to do with orchids) like that was strange and it gave me the creeps. Hwa Young has the perfect demeanor and makings to be a villain / antagonist so it would be interesting to see her character arc in S2 (if there is one) Honestly I feel like she wasn't able to fully get her revenge and have peace of mind so I kinda do hope if there is S2 that opportunity presents itself.
Final Remarks:
Kim Go Eun really puts so much into her acting and you can feel that translate across the screen no matter what role she undertakes. Wi Ha Joon's character was mysterious and throughout watching I couldn't quite place him. Was he evil or was he good? It became clear that he was a morally grey character (which I ate up btw) essentially a wildcard that could swing either way depending on the situation.
I hope there is season 2 with a whole other mystery that the sisters are swept up in. Maybe this time it can start with In Hye and her friend Hyo Rin and then the others have to help save her. I would also love Hwa Young to make a reappearance and help them from prison if she can or this mystery finally frees her as we meet an even bigger contender / mastermind than Sang A was.
I liked it so much as I am still thinking about it and wishing there was more even though it's finished. I would definitely recommend it to others :)

if you’re looking for a show to keep you on your toes this is it.
I’m not one to write reviews, much less give 10/10 for everything …but this show exceeded my expectations and kept me wanting more. Anytime I thought I knew something, I found that I was wrong, which I loved! Usually I love the predictable and only shoot to watch shows like that, but deviating from that was the best decision I’ve made. The characters were amazing, they made you feel what they were feeling. The story line was genious and well thought out! The only thing I would have liked to see was a little more romance from 2 specific characters, but that is just the hopeless romantic in me! The ending was just as good as the rest of the story, because it unraveled more secrets and plots, connecting the rest of the dots! Simply amazing, chefs kiss!Was this review helpful to you?
March sisters walked so Oh sisters could run.
The first report about this remake had me excited to the seven heavens; I was overjoyed not only to have a Korean version of one of my favorite classic novels plus movie adaptations but also to see how exactly they blend it into a sageuk (historical). Was a little upset upon learning that it’ll be based in modern urban times but it didn’t take long me to make terms with it. However, starting the drama and finishing two episodes left me very confused and had me pondering about the intentions of the makers. Not long after, I had to realize that only a few elements of the original have been picked up for the so-called remake and hence this one deserves no comparison. So, what are the similarities?◆ Sisters (4 there, 3 here) living with their mother; father long gone to places.
◆ An artist among the sisters (2nd one there, 3rd one here).
◆ Poverty-stricken lifestyle, hard ways of earning food and necessities.
◆ The great grand-aunt who favors the middle sister for her intelligence and tenacity.
◆ The prince charming with not-so-significant role, two distinct male leads here.
Let me know if I missed out any ;)
Developed and produced by ‘Studio Dragon’,” Little Women (작은 아씨들)” is supposedly a loose adaptation of the 1868 classic novel of the same title by Louisa May Alcott. Screenwriter Chung Seo Kyung creates the story in a modern Seoul-styled Korean backdrop with essence of thriller, melodrama and makjang while Kim Hee Won takes charge of direction. The 12-episode drama was originally broadcasted on tvN and internationally distributed by Netflix. Several parts of the major happenings of the drama were also filmed in Singapore.
The original plot is about struggles, love, compassion and dreams, whereas this adaption is about greed, goals, urges, fear, somewhere love and of course, dreams. The story follows a poor Oh family of three sisters with separate professional goals who, without their consciousness, get involved with the richest family of Korea and a supposed cult that is connected trough a mysterious orchid, which starts with a missing sum of 70 billion won.
Oh In Joo (Kim Go Eun), the eldest sister, works for a salaried office job and having lived in extreme poverty, she dreams about money and wishes to live an ordinary life. Oh In Kyung (Nam Ji Hyun), the middle sister, is a righteous reporter who doesn’t value money and starts working on a case that was long-forgotten in order to unveil the truth. Oh In Hye (Park Ji Hu), the youngest sister, is an aspiring artist who gets acknowledged for her natural skills though she is a realist and considers her sisters’ love for her as a burden.
Choi Do Il (Wi Ha Joon) is a part of Wonryong Group whereas Oh Hye Suk (Kim Mi Sook) is the Great Grand Aunt and Ha Jong Ho (Kang Hoon) is her neighbor and childhood friend of In-kyung. Park Jae Sang (Um Ki Joon) is a politician aspiring to become Seoul’s Mayor while his wife Won Sang A (Uhm Ji Won) is the daughter of Wonryong Group, created by her father Commander General Won Ki Sun (Lee Do Yeop); Park Hyo Rin (Jeon Chae Yeon) is their daughter, also an artist who is In-hye’s best friend.
Other familiar faces in the drama are Jo Seung Yun, Gong Min Jung, Park Bo Kyung, Park Ji Young, Lee Min Woo, Kim Myung Soo, etc. Several big faces have made special appearances: Song Joong Ki, Oh Jung Se, Choo Ja Hyun and Jang Gwang.
Its initially mystifying and allows one to think what might be the intentions of the writer though the follow-up picks up very entertaining and baffling elements creating arousing intrigues within the mind. The furtherance was as amazing with gradual disclosure of more engaging facts about several plotlines, major or minor, and what perplexed me the most was the storytelling and its naturalness despite a mixture of idealistic, realistic and real factors. There was this episode around the interval, that I clearly don’t recall, did felt a little off; the period where things were static and nothing huge seemed to be on its way, not like it became boring or something though. The later half was definitely much more marvelous with each episode bearing several peaks and each of them competing to excel. I was personally taken aback at episode 8 and how the presentations got the best of me, so this is my most favorite, though the show kept surprising even more in the rest 4 episodes. The ending
Writer virtuoso Jung Seo Kyung, known for her prodigious portrayals in staggering women-centric scripts, has once again proved how efficient her skills are to bewitch the audience and finest her creations to stagger the viewers. Admittedly and provenly, a copy-paste remake ain’t her style as reflected in “The Handmaiden”, so the decision to convert a classic English melodrama into a contemporary thriller with justifying dynamics and stupefying elements which turns out to be an appealing and positively appalling masterpiece.
Fascinating character arcs are a specialization of jakka-nim which undoubtfully is finely incorporated with satisfying development. The script is a bag full of whiplash twists, evenly distributed throughout and the picturesque convulsions that serve as delicious dishes of a sumptuous brunch. The theme creation is as bemusing as we see the ghost orchid, its backstory, the people it connects to and how it is at the center of everything.
Acquiring great skills despite less experience within a short period of time, is what Kim Hee Won known for. However, her previous work was a blunder that was finally recognised as a trumpery; though the script was hugely to blame. To see her work of creativity has always been a pleasure and without a second thought she strives to better. On that note, the cinematography of the drama is mesmerizing, from aesthetic shots to extravagant frames and swift yet detailed movement/shift, everything did their job in minds. The screenplay was visibly well-planned as the progression is periodic rather than episodic, seizing the viewer into one plotline but confusingly forcing them to other, albeit the manner was very comfortable thereby maintaining the quality.
What I also loved about the visuals are the reasoned and well-defined backdrops and setups. The Seoul-ic vistas of light and dark hue with polychromatic shades were very eye-savoring outside while rather plain and simplistic colors inside the mansions and buildings also did exhibit the contrast in between. The attempts to draw frame-wise parallels within the same show between the two halves were very ecstatic; admittedly, I wouldn’t have noticed if not for one of the users’ feed posts here.
Composed by Park Se Joon, there are two OSTs in the drama:
# “Enough” by Zior Park
# “La vie” by SOLE
(70 billion won-Truth-Art: Money-Justice-Dreams) … This is how I will draw the outline of the way the three sisters were connected to the show; one who thought money could solve all the problems, one who believed justice will bring everything to peace and one who desired art will help her escape. The combination could result in only one thing, money laundering through art pieces, haha. But the drama is much more than just power trip, greed for wealth and artistic perspective. Indeed, with her cinematic excellence, the writer uses the tool of social sin and the feelings of superior connivance in order to establish a story that reminds us how human mind is a complex matter that could cause catastrophes in the world while only truth and remain constants of time.
Oh In Joo was the most natural of a character in my opinion and apparently Kim Go Eun was the most suitable person for the role, provided her ongoing saga in “Yumi’s Cells” is also one hell of a realistic thing. From her desire for money to her being clueless and from acting cautiously to strangers to being overtly sensitive to everything, just average human being. Clearly, the best character development given to the one at the exact center, performed and excelled.
Nam Ji Hyun could have been used better, not like she was underwhelming or something, but in a way, I believed, both the character Oh In Kyung and the actress herself held lot more potential than what we saw. There were instances Inkyung was just pure dumb, as in dumb for someone who was a journalist plus it was visible the way she struggled a bit at first, which was a given since I don’t recall her playing such a fierce character(?). Anyways, it was satisfying to see her in action at times and how she changed from the beginning to end.
Oh In Hye had a magnificent arc to begin with and the actress did perform very well with her expressions and delivery. However, I was a little upset the way she was limited in the latter half; as in they forgot about her existence for some time and brought her back absurdly like oh she is a part too? All I mean her share of screentime did not suffice as someone who is tagged as a main character everywhere. Otherwise, her dynamics were naturally that of a rebelling teenager. Also loved how the makers decided to end the show with her prologue story and monologue note. The actress playing Hyorin did not have anything significant about her but she was good nevertheless.
Choi Do Il as a character is probably one of the most mysterious you will ever see and Wi Ha Joon should be commended for carrying it very well. His on and off dimension will apparently become the reason half of the audience will develop trust issues in real life. The introduction wasn’t really grand, rather felt he’d be only playing on the surface (to me at least), but the maker’s way of playing with their audiences’ mind worked like some sort of crazy drugs wow. I am not sure whether I should be saying that I was impressed but there was a point I just decided to sit at a corner with popcorn in m hand and see what he is upto. Nonetheless, I was happy at them screaming how he loves only one thing at the end of the day.
The drama is a heavy thriller; although it offered few bright and comforting elements, it mostly exhibited dystopia. Some events could be very frustrating like you are gonna drag a character out and beat the organs outta them. The plot devices like the orchid, the red heel and the architecture did serve as amazing scopes in order to create an artful story filled with thrills and excitement. And the progression is very unpredictable and mysterious for the current trend in K-thrillers, no doubt the screenwriter is a cinema maker; loved the suspense at the end of each episode as well. A galore of twists might even feel like burden in some episodes but their outcomes are relieving in some way. Again, the symbolisms, backed by their ingenious metaphors make the drama more entertaining.
The group of antagonists were not really one of a kind but the performance of the cast was what made them lively. Both Uhm and Um for the seasoned actors they are, did put forward an enthralling and captivating show, and the bad times we had clenching our teeth stands witness to it.
I believe March sisters’ struggle to keep up their dining table occupied helped Oh sisters to not just protest but fight against capitalism as they indulged themselves with the evil, for the sake of prosperity and justice though separately. Their dispute with reality urges them to opt paths they thought would be treacherous and relying on a single straw they not only strive to remain true to themselves but also thrive like a single blade of grass in the dessert. Through thick and thins, this remake remains grounded to the original in portraying how the littleness of everyone leads to a grand world of big beauties
The finale was as satisfying in the sense, it was not rushed, or even dragged unnecessarily, rather every bit of it felt good. It is not an open ending either as some people might think though in my opinion they left one plothole regarding the burried pendrive. But again, in a way, the evidence was not really useful. The ending sequence was smooth and also made mr realize that Choi Do Il's efforts were equalized with his manupulative and intelligent skills.
A personal and silly observation about the show that I made towards the ending, was that the in-situ viewership was very accurately concurrent with the qualitative graph that I have made in my mind, i. e. my episode-wise rating. Idk why I thought it was necessary to mention it here but here you go TT.
Final Remarks… A show made by women, led by women and prospered by women was quite a piece of thrilling experience as Little Women hits the floor this time around. The time will cite the show as something that is not a good remake but nevertheless a great show, which is a perfect balance between the original and the adaptation. From high production values to outstanding presentation and from enchanting performance to entertaining outcomes, this was a unique approach and definitely a must watch and easily one of the best thrillers of 2022.

Female led thriller with a distracting title
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

bloody
WOW. A wonderful series with ups and downs, but excellent. The ending left me with a smile on my face, although I would have liked Choi Do-il and Oh In-joo to be together and have a happier ending for them. I would have liked In-joo to have more trust in Do-il, only that if I had put myself in her place, I would have done the same. I liked the way Do-il and Jong-ho looked at In-joo and In-kyung the most. HYPNOTISING.The ending of the other two sisters was one that I really liked. The series was very good, the story and the acting excellent. Series rated 10. The death of some of the characters seemed well-deserved. All in all, it was a really cool series. From now on, I will see red shoes and blue flowers differently.

Little Women- Drama, Action, Mystery, Thriller
This drama is one of the best dramas I have ever watched. Mysterious and thrilling, this drama had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was watching it. The plot was amazing and the plot twists were epic. I felt so stressed watching this show though ?, because you'd never know what was going to happen next, (who betrayed who, who stole what, who was lying, who died next...). I loved the different relationships between characters and how each character developed throughout the show. The show had really good actors as well as an awesome OST. I really enjoyed watching this show and I HIGHLY recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

Now this is what you call suspense
I am a sucker for dramas that center around women. A 9/10.I will start my review with the eldest child, Oh Injoo (Kim Goeun). The girl who will do anything and everything for her family to get out of poverty. She portrays the burden of being the eldest child really well. I am a little bit annoyed with her character since, out of them 3, she's not the brightest, so she does a lot of questionable things in this show, but you can understand why she does it. Goeun is one of my favorite actresses, and she did not disappoint here.
The second is Nam Jihyun (Oh Inkyung). At first, I thought that the actress's look was too soft for this kind of drama, but as the show goes on, you can see how she perfectly fits the character. The smartest and fearless one, but has a heart of marshmallow. I personally believe that she is one of the strongest characters, but this drama failed to show that side of hers. Nevertheless, you can see her dedication to being a reporter and fighting for justice. The flow of romance with Jihyun and Kang Hoon (Ha Jong Ho) is so adorable and just perfect—not too fast and not forced.
And the last sibling, Oh In Hye (Park Jihu), She had the least screen time, but she left me with the most impact. I saw other reviews that said they hated her character since she doesn't listen to her older sisters, but I understand her. In a poor family, she receives the most of everything, and she can see how her sisters do their best to get what she wants, and she feels burdened by it, so to not feel bad, she does her best to not depend on them, which results in her looking like a rebel. She might look like a brat for not listening to her sisters, but you can see how mature and smart she is when handling situations that involve the future of her and Hyorin (Jeon Chaeun).
I agree with everybody that some of them find it boring, since I find it also boring from the start due to lengthy episodes, but it gets better as the episodes go on. A lot of plot twists and big events happen in each episode, and I can't even imagine how this drama will end. Not only the main leads are interesting, but also the other women, like Kanghoon, their aunt Hyeseok, and one of the most evil characters I've seen, Jiwon.
Out of all the scenes, the one that I like the most is when Injoo gets her dream house, but the first thing she does is stay there and cry. That scene makes me shed a tear. You can see how happy she is, but she also feels empty.
If you have time and want a show that will stress you out and doesn't have a predictable ending, then I recommend this drama.

Dark Money, Darker Roots
Little Women may borrow its title from the classic novel, but this 2022 Korean drama spins an entirely original tale—a suspenseful, high-stakes thriller built around three sisters entangled in a conspiracy far beyond their station.The story begins with Oh In-Joo, Oh In-Kyung, and Oh In-Hye—three sisters raised in poverty, bound by hardship, and fiercely protective of one another. The eldest, In-Joo, is a soft-hearted bookkeeper who dreams not of success but of security—preferably via a wealthy husband. Easily manipulated and prone to panic, she often acts without thinking. At one point, she literally hauls a giant bag of cash through the city like a sitting duck, with no foresight to split or hide the money. At first, you might dismiss her as naive or even dimwitted—but as the drama unfolds, her loyalty to her sisters and only friend becomes her quiet strength.
In contrast, second sister In-Kyung is a firebrand journalist, fearless but reckless. She plunges into investigations with raw conviction, unafraid to call out the powerful, even at great personal cost. Her moral compass is unwavering, but her impulsiveness gets her fired from her job and lands her in peril more than once.
Youngest sister In-Hye is the most composed of the three, but also the most distant. An aspiring artist, she resents the suffocating love of her older sisters and gravitates toward her wealthy classmate’s opulent world—a world that promises beauty, freedom, and escape. Yet, as the glitter begins to crack, she too is forced to confront the price of power.
What starts as a tale of sisterhood spirals into a dark labyrinth of secrets, betrayal, and a shadowy organisation that launders money and eliminates obstacles—permanently. The stakes keep rising, as the sisters find themselves at odds with political figures aiming for the country’s highest office. Layer by layer, the story peels back truths hidden beneath sleek veneers of wealth and influence.
The plot is full of sharp twists and simmering tension. Just when you think you know who is pulling the strings, the story flips again. The mysterious blue orchid—eerie, elegant, and ever-present—acts as a chilling calling card for a string of deaths. Its significance is gradually revealed, leading to the unmasking of a true psychopath with ambitions to lead the clandestine society behind it all.
As if the domestic chaos were not enough, the drama takes an international turn with a gripping roller-coaster in Singapore—complete with stolen identity, an mysterious doppelgänger, hide and seek, clandestine meetings, the opulent high-life and a fresh layer of intrigue.
What truly elevates Little Women is the emotional evolution of the sisters. Each one grows—not just braver, but wiser. In-Joo finds her own voice. In-Kyung learns restraint without compromising her integrity. In-Hye discovers what love truly means beyond admiration and envy. By the final episode, they are no longer victims or pawns, but women who have stared down power, survived it, and reclaimed their lives.
Verdict:
Little Women is not just a thriller—it is a psychological drama about sisterhood, identity, and the cost of ambition in a corrupt world. Unpredictable, stylish, and emotionally gripping, it is a must-watch that lingers long after the final reveal. Highly recommended.

UTTER PERFECTION
Everything is perfection in this one! Mindblown by the intricate and tight plot and the relatable as well as diverse set of characters+personalities. Superb acting. The cinematography and color palettes are extremely detailed and en point, making for a beautiful visual experience. I especially appreciate that the ending is not rushed. Adding to the rewatchables list.The bond between the sisters is especially applaudable; the male characters supporting them are also extremely competent and respectively likable. (And, let's be honest, that chemistry between Oh In Joo and Choi Do Il? OFF THE CHARTS.) The villains are developed and complex as well with their respective backstories. Simply perfection: a must-watch!

This show is one in a million
I watch a lot of kdrama. I’m extremely picky. I often skip around the episodes and never watch anything all the way through. This show, I never skipped for a second. I enjoyed every minute of it.High quality production all around. Great cinematography, visuals, music. All was done extremely well. The acting was great too, from every character. I never felt annoyed by the characters or the acting. Watching this show is like taking a bite of rich chocolate mousse and savoring every second of it.
The story kept my interest throughout. I always wanted to know what would happen next. I think the only negative thing I have to say about this show is that there were a few too many plot twists. I never knew what to trust. I guess that is how it keeps you interested, but it got very ridiculous at the end. I wasn’t sure if there was going to be a happy ending or not up until the last 10 minutes of the show.
Overall, I highly recommend. This show has captured my mind and taken my breath away. It’s a beautiful masterpiece that I was delighted to experience.
