Little Women

their chemistry is SO unmatched

them. oh my goodness. they are married with three daughters, I know it, guys.
⋆𐙚 I know that so many people were distraught over their open ending, but honestly, I'd still recommend it, and I don't think it was too bad. I take that, "I'll see you again" from him very seriously, and you should too, lmao. He will be back in a week, max. In the end, it just felt like he was still very involved in her life (scene with In-hye), and that was just the beginning of their story. TRUST. she just needs to be in deep trouble, and he will spawn, no joke.
— So, don't be scared away, except you are really someone who needs at least a kissing scene (they didn't even hug, haha) and a clear indication that they are endgame, then I would maybe rethink.

⋆𐙚 It's worth watching, alone because—Choi Do-il and Oh In-joo's chemistry was one of the best I've ever seen. It was enough for me. I adored them. Every scene between them had me running laps. The subtleness and the softness of their interactions were so AKSJSJ. they are so in love.

⋆𐙚 Choi Do-il has got to be one of my fav male leads now. (it may seem like I say this a lot, but I only have a top 3, alright?? :p) He is so protector.
"Don't you trust how far I will go to protect you?" +
when she asked why he was still helping her even though she didn't have the money anymore, he said that it must have become a habit = A MAN IN LOVE.
— both Wi Ha Jun and Kim Go Eun were amazing. Her acting during emotional scenes was top-notch !!

⋆𐙚 If the romance scares you, and you fear you will be left unsatisfied, consider watching it for other reasons because the plot is VERY engaging. I was so intrigued and rarely felt bored. great mystery thriller with a valuable message !!

LITTLE WOMEN — 9.5/10 ⭐️

one of the best dramas out there

it's not often you see a drama with three women as the main leads solving a mystery so i was super excited for this when the trailers came out, and it did not disappoint :heart_eyes: most of the actors were amazing, though i will say that park ji-hye's acting in this series was not great. she rarely showed any form of emotion, which worked well in the other dramas she acted in [all of us are dead] because of the concept but as the youngest sister we needed more emotion. also i felt like as the younger sister she wasn't really necessary and she didnt seem like a main character, more like a side character or a support role. i also felt like some of the relationships were a bit rushed, and also the ending was a bit sudden. other than that though, i loved the plot and it kept me well entertained with constant twists - although some plot holes were apparent. definitely recommend and i would like to rewatch it in the future sometime as well!

ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW BEFORE WATCHING!!

Using only the vaguest starting points from Louisa May Alcott’s novel of the same name on which it is based, writer Chung Seo-Kyung forged a bold path with her tale of dizzying adventure and hair-raising suspense.
Given the series’ huge reception, one hopes that it will serve as a wake-up call for a conservative industry that still sticks to outdated gender norms.
Adventure and suspense are words that are typically reserved for male-led stories in the Korean market, but Little Women gave us a story dominated by strong, inspiring, and richly characterized women, the likes of which have seldom been seen before.
Following the tribulations of the poor Oh sisters, In-Joo (Kim Go-Eun), In-Kyung (Nam Ji-Hyun), and In-hye (Park Ji-hu), the series ultimately gave viewers exactly what they wanted, but the journey to get there was never predictable and often rousing.
Writer Chung took advantage of the structure of Korean soap opera dramas (also known as makjang), which move at breakneck speed and are peppered with shocking reveals, to give us a story stacked with emotional highlights.
Knowing what we want and how to subvert our expectations, Chung plays us like a fiddle.

The perfect mystery, thriller with a hidden, faint undertone of romance.

Wow. I have just finished this drama and few words can describe how I am feeling.

It has been an absolute rollercoaster of a journey. I've been shocked, confused, scared, anxious, happy and overwhelmed over the course of this 12 episode drama. Even though there are some things that I didn't (and a few which I still don't) understand, this drama is definitely one of my top 3 kdramas ever!

Here are the things that I liked about this drama:
- The Cast! Oh. My Gosh. This star studded cast was on fire! Everyone outdid themselves! The emotions portrayed, the deliverance of lines, the visuals, the pure talent! A few of them deserve extra attention: Wi Ha Jun ( he was phenomenal, outstanding and the definite highlight of the show) , Kim Go Eun (she took this character and made her feel so raw, imperfect and human), Uhm Ki Joon and Uhm Ji Won ( these two scared the hell out of me in the most fantastic way).
- The Cinematography. Just watch it. You'll see why.
- Most of the characters. They were flawed, occasionally annoying, but for me personally this just added to the story. It's all about the imperfections of humanity (Greed, Naivety, Capitalism+Poverty, etc). My favourite character was Choi Do-Il, he just kept me on the edge of my seat the entire drama! I never knew whether to trust him or not, but he always pulled through.
- The Plot Twists. I don't think I am the easiest person ever to shock, but this drama continuously surprised me. These plot twists also gave the drama quite a steady pace.
- The Villains. Guys, people are scary. Do not judge a book by its cover. The villains in this drama have probably scared me for life.

The things I didn't particularly love:
- Oh In Hye. She just got on my nerves a lot. The ending redeemed her a bit for me as a character, but I still don't think I can say that I really liked her much as a character.
- I sometimes got quite confused whilst watching this drama. There are still a number of things that I don't really understand, but I think I probably just need to rewatch it. The times I felt confused never really took away from my general enjoyment of the show, but maybe just keep it in mind that you might feel like something doesn't make sense every now and again.

Two things to note:
- Don't go into expecting an adaptation of the classic novel of the same name. You will be disappointed. I have read a number of comments under this drama where people express their dissatisfaction at this and I think it is important to address. There are a few tiny minuscule similarities but that is it. I think it would be better to look at it from the perspective of it focusing on the lives of women who don't have power over their own lives. I also hope this perspective helps anyone who feels frustrated over the dissimilarities between the two.
- Historical distortion surrounding the Vietnam war. Look into it a bit yourself and ensure that you are educated on why people are unhappy with the lack of historical accuracy in this drama, so that you can watch it whilst being aware of this issue.

I truly loved this drama. I would 100% recommend it.
However, Prepare To Have Your Mind Blown!!!!

i like all flawed sister and other character this drama showcases

All three sister are very different from each other which doesn't mean one is right or other is wrong
all have there pro and cons

Gong Min Jung role was what impressed me the most....
Jang Ma Ri
A shameless corrupt reporter which you can't prove corrupt because she believes in her own lies very honestly.
That story was my version of the truth, you have your own version of the truth and I have my Own,
Your truth was pitted against mine, and mine ended up winning today, I love that scene ( ep 11) when our Lead protagonist left speechless by a side character because, not always you win everywhere, some people will out match you, no matter what

Oh In Joo( Kim Go Eun )
she shows hidden desires of every Average working person, they all want to become rich and live a comfortable life but are not able to, when get opportunity most of them will act just like Oh In Joo did. but viewer wanted to call her greedy, are you one who will give up 2Million USD when you found it, NO if you say yes, your Lier.

Oh In Kyung ( Nam Ji Hyun )
she has her own principle and think they are above other but she is no better then anyone else when it come to her own family her younger sister she will abandoned her own principle and will do anything to protect what she love most just like all others, but she like to blame others for there selfishness while she give her self a privilege
she believe herself of something that is one and only pure journalist but she isn't , she is same as all others.

Oh In Hye
Most of people disliked her but i don't dislike her neither i like her fondly, she is there to make people see that not all rich are bad and all poor are victim which she said
that is just poor mentality to blame rich people for all there problems,
she was not great as sister, she doesn't care about those sister who she never choose, but she was loyal to her only friend she choose herself, she was rude to her sister but there was love even in her, which she was not able to show toward her sisters but was able to love her only friend,

i hated Oh In Kyung and Ha Jong Ho couple it was really wrong of them to make those two ending up together and leave
Oh In joo and choi do Il just at flirting, at least a kiss to conform there feelings toward each other

Choi Do Il ( Wi Ha Joon )
Good this man was so nice here and the unspoken chemistry between him and In Jo was amazing to watch
sub-- flirting between those two between that tens situation was a reliving wind
at airport i was waiting for them to KISS but no director did not have budget to include kissing scene.......

Little women! Little things women do can bring results that aren't little! Watch! Watch! Watch!

It had been a while since I completely watched a 2022 aired Kdrama. But it was really worth the choice. Each week waiting eagerly for all the aired episodes feels quite memorable at this point. The entire drama was a roller-coaster ride of emotions. An individual though similar hardly possesses entirely same character and personality like each other.

This drama portrayed lives of women in each of their own world; somewhat similar somewhat different. Though usually when romance is added to a great extent in drama almost forgetting the original plot felt a bit bothersome but this series actually ended with hardly any. The best fact is that the chemistry between the potential pairing somewhat platonic but flavorful was more than enough to compensate.

Also, the sisterly bond between the Oh siblings shows how differently each love the other which can sometimes be miscommunicated and how families each have their own sob stories.

Truly the orchids stole the show too!!! And really honestly Won Sang A and Park Jae Sang though were antagonists but I literally imagined their childhood to adulthood journey being turned into fan-made edits; a different form of love two sided but maybe really not.

P.S: This version of Little Women let Laurie end up with Jo.

Top-notch! I can't find loophole at all.

1) Story [+]

Plot very strong, well-built and dynamic. The story moves forward the whole time which is incredible. There're things to learn, explore, discover, and be surprised in every episode. It progresses in fast pace but not hasty. The rhythm is so right to the point that there's no wasted time even for the preview. If you watched the preview of next episode at each episode's ending, you'd most likely be spoiled. All the happenings in this story are very reasonable from beginning to end, which normally is very hard to achieve in this kind of highly complex, suspense story. Most of the time, the writers/directors wouldn't be wise enough to make it perfectly suspense without loopholes (--some notable examples that failed on this point are W-Two World and Mouse). For this one, no loopholes at all. I also love the ending. It isn't romantically sugar-coated but leaning toward the side of being realisticly hopeful. The writer gave an interview that if there'd be one more episode, the audience would have the chance to see FL and ML being back together. I think so, too. But they're just clever to end it at the right timing. If there're one more episode, things would be cheesy instead as there's no point left in the suspense plot anymore, and then the tone of the series would shift a bit and might end up in the same way as many other Korean series that have strong start but usually tone down and fail toward the end.

------------------------------------

2) Acting [+]

Superb! There're so many actors in this series. They come in and out of the scene all the time. And I enjoy the acting of all of them. The acting of the three sisters should especially be praised. Kim Go Eun has the chance to show her true ability in acting through the role of the eldest sister here. Her performance in Goblin can't be compared to this at all. The actress who plays Wong Sang A, Hyorin's mother, also did a great job. Her fake smile and bubbly character is so annoyingly fake. Hyorin just says the right feeling of the viewers when it finally bears in her mind that things in her family are so fake. Before that, it always feels off but she can't really be certain at which point.

------------------------------------

*I'm not that expert in music so I avoid giving comment on that aspect and just gave the moderate/middle score when nothing wrong occurs.

*This series is one of a very few series I give this high score on Rewatch Value.

Absolutely Amazing! Speechless of how good this drama is.

Every little aspect and thing if this drama was amazing. From episode 1 to 12, there is not one flaw I can pick. Man I only go out of my to write reviews if the drama is superb it hits me and makes me feel so emotional and empty (in a good way). I've only done this for Vincenzo and now Little Women. Haha, both by the same director. The plot was amazing. The action was amazing. The suspense was RIDICULOUSLY amazing, the acting was superb. The actors portrayed their characters too well.

Kim Go Eun is something else. She's got some unmatched acting talent, she's absolutely gorgeous too. Her character felt so real and was pretty realistic to be honest
Nam Ji Hyun and Park Ji Hoo were perfect too. Their eyes speak volumes, facial expressions were amazing. I felt so immersed when their scenes came on. They're so precious.

Wi Ha Jun. Man what can I say. This guy can act for sure. He made a perfect fit for his role. Never knew I would come to such an emotional state for his beautiful portrayal of love for In Joo in the most pure way. His quick thinking and critical skills he portrayed were so good. Man Choi Do Il is my type, period. I've never felt such an emotional attachment to the connection between two characters until now between In Joo and Do Il.

All the actors were so good. Cinematography was splendid, man some of the shots were mind blowing-ly perfect. Props to everyone who contributed to this drama, it really did something to me.I had and still currently have such a hard time letting go of this drama. There's like a knot in my heart. But I finally mustered up the courage to finish it and hopefully move on, this drama has brought my standards sooooo high. The only tiny thing I dispute is the absence of some kind of confession between In Joo and Do Il, but they didn't die and weren't on bad terms so I'm happy. I was so scared this drama wouldn't have a happy ending.

<3
