trashy good...?
Oct. 22, 2022Little Women is okay. I don't really have anything else to say as the writers sort-of dragged everything until the last minute and then crunch it all in one go. Plot was definitely something, I mean the casts were really good. I felt the appropriate emotions that I need especially with how the sisters can be sometimes. This show really tested my patient.
Definitely those dramas to watch when you don't know what else to do. Skippable episodes definitely in this series and its only 12 episodes too... so yea.... that's that.

Feels like American shows
It starts like a cliche K-dramas where there is a poor Korean family where girls will meet rich guys and fall in love and happy endings. I do not believe there will be a happy ending. This show includes realistic people in the universe they created. There is no good people. Even our characters have their own selfishness and mistakes. I watched without close my eyes and could not guess any of the events occurring. It has high tension, awakens high level of curiosity and make you disgust of rich community. Sorry for the romance seekers, this show is kind of offering massacre. I would recommend to people who enjoyed:- Sky Castle
- Penthouse series
- Parasite Movie

Layers upon layers
Aug 2023Why did I wait so long to watch this?
I really enjoyed the pace and intrigue, and binged in a day, staying up 'til silly o'clock.
Great mix of characters, with the 3 sisters it centres around being each very different.
It really was gripping drama with some well placed, but nothing standing out as being really childish, humour.
The story twists and turns, with more layers than an onion.
All 3 sisters end up entwined with one ultra powerful, sociopathic family.
The story follows their struggle to unearth past and present secrets, lies and fraud.
More than a few surprises along the way.
There were a few times when things got more than a little ridiculous and characters did do truly stupid things for the circumstances they were in, but overall it's not badly written and is a pretty intelligent story.
I'd have liked more on the youngest sister, as I felt her character's story was sacrificed somewhat for the main plot.
I also wish one particular character had a more fitting end; they didn't suffer nearly enough for my liking.
I adored Choi Do-il, played by Wi Ha-joon; a great character that kept me guessing to the very end.
Well worth a watch.

If you love kim go-eun then its worth a watch
If you want to watch something thrilling and a women's power drama then you can proceed to watch this drama, the drama is all about if you get rich unfortunately how will you survive with it?The main lead acting was on another level and also sisters' characters were beautifully designed, somewhere they missed a few logic to explain.
SPOILER ALERT!!!!
No kissing scenes,
Not a happy ending for the main leads as we expect them to hold hands or kiss, nothing gonna happen like that.

Production was good , Story was NOT
The production and cinematography of this Drama were high quality, the acting was superb but what could have been a great Drama was that half of the storyline was just such complete utter ridiculous nonsense that I couldn’t wait for it to be over with. To quote the oldest sister in the show. “ they are just a bunch of whack jobs”. Wi Ha Joon’s character was the only one that seemed to have any Personality that wasn’t 1 dimensional. Also it was good to see Kang Hoon, although I wish his role had been bigger, he is just too adorable!Was this review helpful to you?

Being poor does not equal being dumb or not knowing how to handle money
Look, I really tried. Episode 1 was fire, but it went downhill from there.
The plot was set with these three sisters being super close (minus the youngest, who I found purely ungrateful, but more on that in a second).
In Joo and In Kyung talk about everything and share every thought. But when it comes to push and shove, it took them almost five episodes to realize they were chasing the same villain. Many issues wouldn't have occurred if they had talked about it from the moment In Kyung found the money in the fridge.
Also, why do both older sisters prefer to share their thoughts with random men instead of with each other to help their younger sister out?
I get that some things are made for the plot, but some scenes were unnecessary, rushed, and just badly plotted. After the grandma passed in Episode 6, I gave up.
I get it, obtaining 2 billion won in that manner is scary. But if the storyline is about poor people taking on the rich, then these strong sisters (all of them) should have buckled up. That would have been the perfect revenge storyline - with faults, of course, because they are new to having money - but these women are not dumb.
It felt like they purposely made them silly and not think things through because they are poor, which is nonsensical.
All in all, so much missed potential with the show, especially with such a great start.
And the little sisters excuse, of hating how her sisters love her and wanting her own life... please.

No Romantic Beautiful Drama
A series about money.What risks would you take for money? Is this worth doing?
First of all, I loved the character of Kim Go Eun in the lead. It was very natural. She tended to be sometimes crazy and sometimes cautious. The middle sister was an ordinary person. And a journalist who can risk a lot for his goals. The younger sister, on the other hand, was annoying at times, but was actually the smartest character. The most crucial feature of the drama was the dialogues and character developments. Sometimes while watching this drama, I remembered the TV series My Mister. Both company issues and criminal ties have common ground between these two dramas.

An interesting if marginally frustrating show. Let down by parts of the last few episodes
This is not for you if :1. You're looking for traditional thriller/mystery
2. Traditional heart warming sibling behaviour
Do watch if :
1. Looking for some unusual plot , and dont mind dialogue heavy drama
The drama has some incredible dialogue that feels like direct shots fired at society we are in today. The show felt less about a plot , and more about the journey each of the characters undergoes . The ways in which various situations change them for better/worse , the complexities of reltionships and imperfect family dynamics .
In different ways , each of the Oh siblings move from being in the sidelines to learning to own the space they occupy.
Given the unusual plot base , i actually enjoyed the blunders and struggles of the leads . The chaos felt very similar to have ordinary ,everyday people would react when faced with extraordinary/bizzare events.
The osts werent particularly memorable , then again it requires most of your focus to be able to follow the plot , so ill have to give them a zeperate listen.
Costumes and set design were actually really well done in setting the tone for the scenes we were dealing in. Actors did a decent job, and had you immersed in the story, which is q win for me.
Real gold goes to the writers who wrote some heart hurting zingers with the dialogue.

Worth watching!
I was a little hesitant to start the show, but one I did I literally had to binge watch the whole show. Loved that the show was intriguing and unpredictable, always wondering what was going to happen next. Story is very much mystery based and the story line was very refreshing. Another thing is that it is not focused on romance, which other shows similar to Little Women is, so if you like seeing romance between main characters this is probably not the show for you. Overall, highly recommend watching the show if you are a sucker for mysteries and love nerve wrecking stories.Was this review helpful to you?
A MUST WATCH SERIES!!
I started dropping many k-dramas due to their predictable plots, but this one is mind boggling! Just watched the first episode and it sucked me right into their world. An hour was enough for the actors, directors and writers to make me feel their sadness, happiness and their thought process. The background story was explained well to the point that you wouldn't need to stop it multiple times to figure out what is going on. Needless to talk about the filmography and aesthetics!! JUST WATCH IT!! EVEN I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT!Was this review helpful to you?
a good lullaby to help you sleep
I’ve tried, guys. I really have. I gave this series a fair chance, but I couldn’t get past the third episode—it was just boring as hell.From the moment I saw the mother steal the envelope full of money in episode one, I knew this journey would not be easy. Honestly, it’s not a good idea to leave that much cash sitting on your bedroom table where anyone in the house can access it. It’s incredibly foolish, especially when you don’t trust your own family, like in this case with the mother. Face palm.
As for the characters, they didn’t fare any better. The first daughter comes across as far too naive, while the second daughter often acts rashly without thinking things through. The third daughter is just plain ungrateful, which made it hard for me to connect with any of them.
Unfortunately, I’m not strong enough to fight off the sleepiness that creeps in with each episode. So, sadly, my journey with this drama has to end here.
