Not Wrong Living Poor
12 solid episodes.The scenario writer for the Korean drama "Little Women" seemed to be challenged, having to compose a work consisting of a set of colorful puzzles, with different themes and colors.
It takes the ability to place the right bridging so that the audience is comfortable from start to finish.
The poor family puzzle, combined with the friendship puzzle, the journalist world puzzle, the election intrigue puzzle, the disturbed mental health puzzle and other puzzles, must be put together in 12 episodes.
Not easy. But writernim is quite successful. At least the audience isn't confused when watching the Korean drama "Little Women" from start to finish. Although it must be admitted that many holes appear. One of them was when Won Sang-A trapped Oh In-Joo and Jin Hwa-Young in an orchid room. The climax needed for dramatic effect.
The Korean drama "Little Women" is recommended because it is filled with top South Korean actors/actresses. Among them, the antagonist Uhm Ki-Joon has become increasingly popular since playing Joo Dan-Tae in the Korean drama Penthouse (1,2,3).
His role as Park Jae-Sang in the Korean drama "Little Women" was truly unexpected. The audience, who initially resented him, turned pity to see Park Jae-Sang humiliated by his wife, and even told to commit suicide.
Regarding the main cast not being united in the last episode, it doesn't seem to be a problem. In fact, the audience can imagine that one day the two of them will meet.
Sweet, right?

Not A Remake
I originally didn't watch this drama, because I thought it was a remake or the English Little Women. It is not!! From the beginning you are thrust into the poverty & the disillusionment of the 3 sisters. It also depicts very well how money is the root of all evil. It shows in stark contrast how individuals act when confronted with the option of good over bad. I liked the drama but I found it had way too many limbs on the tree. There was the family story - the grandmother story - the political corruption story - the money story - the murder & they threw in a fake romance between the main characters just I think for sustaining interest. It was an ok watch , only because the acting was grade A & on point. Too bad it had they waited until the last couple of episodes to try and tie in the multiple story linesWas this review helpful to you?

olay etrafında dönüp duran karakterler?
Ara verdiğim için izleyemediğim bir diziydi, bende yazın son günlerinde bu diziye başladım. Bu dizi aynı zamanda hem büyüleyici hem de kafa karıştırıcıydı. Gizem atmosferi her bölümde kendini hissettiriyor, ama karışık olay örgüleri ve mantıksız karakterlerle birazcıkk kötü bir durumda.Benim için bazı olumlu şeylerle başlayalım:
İlk olarak kadro çok güzeldi sevdiğim oyuncuları toplanmış bir şekilde görmek beni mutlu etti. Bu seriden keyif aldığım şeyler, iyi kurulmuş bir ruh hali, harika aksesuarlar (o orkide çiçeği çok gerçekçi görünüyor) ve ayrıntılı sanat eserleriydi. Bir olay örgüsü olarak bu çiçek büyüleyici bir şekilde gerçekçi (tabii ki asla solamayacağına dair inançsızlığı bir kenarıya bırakalım).
Yukarıdaki unsurlara rağmen, bu seri çok düzgün olamıyor.
Tüm karakterler mantıksız olay örgüsünün etrafından geçiyor gibi görünüyor ve karakterler arasında sıfır gelişme var. (yani neden In-hye ve Hyo-rin bu kadar iyi arkadaşlar? neden Do-il In-Ju'yu korumak istiyor?) Bazı karakterler, sadece çalışma süresini doldurmak için önceki bölümlerden çok farklı davranma eğilimindeler. Ana karakterimize neden önemli olduğu konusunda pek bir açıklama yapılmadı, sorulduğunda herkes bu soru etrafında dans ediyor gibiydi. Karakterler arasında etkileşim olsaydı bu seri kesinlikle daha çabuk biterdi.
Olay örgüsü, birçok unsurun aynı anda gerçekleşmesi nedeniyle karmaşıktı, olayları düzgün bir şekilde birbirine bağlamadı. Hikayeyi devam ettirmek için karakterlerin uzun açıklamalarının ardından bize birçok güzel görüntü gösteriliyor. Bana bu seriden ne hatırlıyorsun deselerdi eminim sadece mavi orkide derdim.
Tarihsel olayların sadece olay örgüsü için kötü kullanımından bahsetmiyorum bile. Bunun için zaten eleştiri almış bir seri.
Genel olarak bu dizi, birçok insanın bir hikaye üzerinde işbirliği yapmak için bir araya geldiğini ve hikayenin tam olarak nereye gitmesini istediklerin karar veremedikleri hissi veriyor. Çoğu kişi için etkili bir dizi olsada mantıksal açıdan eksiği olan bir diziydi.
Sanat, sahne ve dekor açısından gayet güzel.
Ne kadar karmaşık şeyler olsada izlerken keyif aldığımı söylemeden edemem. Finale az kalmışken hızlandığı için çok heyecanla izledim son bölümleri. Kısaca konuyu başta uzatıp sonda patlatıyorlar. Güzeldi güzel

Good but not great
the storyline is great overall but I had a hard time feeling connected to In Joo. I’m not sure if it was the actress or her character but she was frustrating to watch.there was a lot of suspense and the plot twists were really good but most of of could have gone so much smoother if the sisters just communicated with each other…which they never seemed to do, despite trying to give the sense they were so close. In Joo was frustrating with all her needy, “selfless”, and oftentimes stupid choices.

I only watched this because of one actor
yall tbh i only swallowed up this whole series because of ki joon because i've been traumatized at his performance of joo dan tae in penthouse and i needed to see him in more villain roles, but at the end i quite liked this serie.It's obviously not the best you can find out there, but it's pretty good & it's short, I didn't like in-kyung and choi dol wtvr his name was i hate them, but the story is pretty interesting. But I'd like if they trried to explain things better, overall it's alright!!

That ending though…
Little Women is a captivating K-drama that delivers an intriguing plot with strong performances from its cast, but its conclusion leaves much to be desired.The acting, particularly by Kim Go Eun as In Joo and Wi Ha Joon as Choi Do Il, is stellar throughout. Their chemistry is undeniable, and the show builds a fascinating dynamic between them. It’s hard to accept that they didn’t end up together—there was too much unsaid, and their connection felt deeper than the show fully explored. Choi Do Il’s feelings for In Joo seemed clear, and it’s equally difficult to believe she didn’t have feelings for him too.
On the other hand, In Hye, played by Park Ji Hu, wasn’t likable at all. Her character comes off as selfish and dismissive of her sisters’ love, especially when they put themselves in harm’s way to protect her. Even when their lives were in danger, she appeared indifferent, making it hard to sympathize with her choices.
As for Won Sang Ah, her ending felt far too easy. After everything she had orchestrated and the chaos she caused, it seemed like she should have faced harsher consequences. For a character as manipulative and dangerous as her, the resolution didn’t quite satisfy.
Overall, Little Women had the potential to be a fantastic show with its gripping plot and strong performances, but the underwhelming wrap-up and missed opportunities in character development left viewers wanting more.

Sociedade da orquídea
Gosto muito e veria 500 vezes novamente, adoro os personagens até mesmo o ódio que eu sentia de alguns era algo bom, a história é envolvente, minha vontade era não fazer nada e só assistir a esse drama.Só não gosto muito da in hye pois achava ela muito trouxa de ficar com aquelas pessoas, ao passar dos episódios eu percebi do por que ela ser desse jeito. A mãe das 4 era muito sem noção, para não dizer outra coisa, e queria que tivessem aprofundado melhor o jeito dela com as meninas, também gostaria da infância delas ser mais bem explorada, sei que ja falaram bastante sobre mas queria saber melhor a história bem certinha de vida delas.

El mejor drama coreano de 2022
Desde el primer segundo la trama me atrapo y no solamente por ser una gran fanatica del libro en el cual se inspira. La historia tiene vida propia más allá del universo que conocemos de “Mujercitas” nos da una visión moderna de un cuanto conocido por muchos y lo explota de la mejor manera.Fácilmente se convirtió en una de mis series coreanas favoritas y de las mejores series que ví.
No había escuchado mucho hablar sobre esta serie y es una excelente opción para los amantes de el misterio, lo policiaco y los cuentos clásicos. Debería ser un drama de que se hable más en la actualidad.

Impecavel...
Quando comecei esse drama ja tinha uma ideia que possivelmente seria bom, por ter um elenco maravilhoso e uma premissa instigante, mas ele se superou em todos os quesitos possíveis. O enredo desse drama foi construído e amarado muito bem, mesmo tendo um "deus ex machina" para algumas coisas mirabolantes, a atuação desse elenco simplesmente PERFEITA, Kin Go Eun se entregou de corpo e alma pra personagem que é admirável ver todo o trabalho dela nesse drama.Porem, tem algumas coisas que me incomodaram ao longo da construção do drama, mas não vou comentar aqui pois são spoilers (específicos).
Esse drama entrou para a minha lista dos melhores doramas que ja assisti em todos estes anos. Apenas assistam.

seru tapi apa sih?
StoryDari ceritanya jujur sempet bingung di tengah-tengah, sebenernya apa sih yang dikejar di sini dan problemnya juga kurang kerasa banget. Oke duit 70 miliar ga ada, tp gua merasa keterlibatan 3 bersaudara tuh kayak yang damn aneh juga tiba-tiba mereka ke sangkut problem kaum elite. Sama gua ngerasa sebenernya 3 bersaudara dan tim kubunya tuh ga sempowerful itu untuk ngelawan kaum-kaum yang dari jaman dulu juga udah kayaaa. Terus relationship 3 bersaudara sama great aunt juga agak aneh yahh agak gak expect mereka keluargaan satunya kaya super satunya miskin super beneran yang drastis. Tapi gua merasa semua dibawakan dengan baik sih, cinematografinya juga nyaman diliat jadi salah satu alesan kenapa tetep lanjut nonton. Cuman emang dari tokohnya tuh ada beberapa sifat yang mungkin bikin bothering karena yaa tolil juga yaa. Terus dari ceritanya juga bukan yang romance banget gitu ya cuman ada kok kerasa atmosfer sekelibet dan atmosfer bulol bulol dari cowo di sini:D
Acting/cast
Jujur alasan terbesar gua nonton little women adalah aktor aktrisnya yang super cakep. Udah cinematography cakep orang di dalemnya cakep beneran cakep dah enak diliat. Cuman emang ada beberapa yang aktingnya agak aneh dan jomplang cuman yaaa overall good. Aku suka in joo sama do il hehew

Demorei, mas valeu a pena
2 meses... Foi o tempo que demorei para acabar de ver, mas por duas razões bastante aceitáveis: ao mesmo tempo, estava a assistir a duas outras séries que, na minha lista de prioridades, estavam mais altas.Anywayyy....
Adorei! Estive o tempo todo 'on edge' com o que ia acontecer, fiquei parva com os plotwists todos, é completamente diferente dos típicos kdramas, e mais uma vez, murders happening... I must stop, é como se houvesse um íman invisível que me puxa para assassinos e mortes misteriosas.
A razão para a nota ser mais baixa que o esperado é porque queria mais!, e o final ficou um pouco aquém... e metade do tempo não estava a perceber patavina do que estava a acontecer lol.
Notas:
- Wi Ha Joon = Pão #1
- Kang Hoon = Pão #2
