Little Women Review (ep.1)

An episode that makes you want to continue watching this series. The characters were all roughly introduced. Nothing was spoiled, but some scenes made me curious, as they gave me some "hints" about the next episode or the development/backstory of a character. I also liked that the main story was introduced slowly so that it was easy to follow along. (Spoiler for the ending: Oh Injoo finds money in the yoga-club locker of Jin Hwayoung) <-- This expecially made me curious for the next episode. -- My favorite thing in this episode:I really really loved how they portrayed the different social classes in Korea and how poverty restricts one in both professional and private life.

Ojt

Jin is learning that with one exception he really isn’t liked or wanted at the police station. Detective Lee is shown in her family home to be personable, but at work she is a spiteful creature because of Jin. After she broke his nose and wrongly arrested him causing a company and political campaign to be jeopardized as well, she should be more amenable. I get that she doesn’t appreciate a fake cop rich boy in her space, but her and sidekick’s continual hate fest towards him wears thin. He had a shrewd move to get the old man with dementia found before dark. There is now a bet between Jin and Lee about catching the next murderer. Neither want to lose. The fight scenes are decently choreographed but even those don’t override the snide behavior of Lee. When talking to her dad she started to recognize her bias but put it aside. She doesn’t have to be likeable per se but she should show him how a professional acts and that has yet to be seen. I am not sure if that was PTSD or overwhelming empathy with the victim that he was experiencing, but that was a twist from his carefree ways. He is a lot more serious than he lets on and buries it under his games and lazy appearance. If he made it through law school he is far from dumb so why does he choose to act in this nonchalant manner? Is it just to piss his dad off?

Who’s the real criminal?

Jin I Su has Batman’s wealth and butler combined with the narcissism of Tony Stark. He has lots of potential but has so far used it to play extreme games and party with his friends. On one of his game nights he finds his friend high and while he is handling a call his friend tangles with a knife carrying hoodlum. Jin goes to rescue his friend and ends up getting his nose broken, his dad’s mayoral campaign in jeopardy and a night in lockup because his buddy said the knife incident never happened. The arresting officer managed to lock up the hero and get the murderer in hospital as the victim. She does at least find the knife and figures out what happened but because they made such an issue of locking him up to teach the rich boy responsibility, it is now biting them all in the ass big time. Jin’s brother comes up with a plan to get everybody out of their bad press mess and has his brother be lawyer cop. They say he has been undercover two months and helped them catch the murder suspect that’s evaded them the last two months. Jin’s dad has disowned him and there is a flashback of a hit and run with his mom. This first episode had humor but there is a darker undercurrent running with his family and ironically him being forced to play cop for real might be of some assistance. Father and son don’t want to make up anytime soon so brother is running interference to calm things down. I would have liked another cop being the stubborn, mistaken one rather than the only female on the team. They have made her a rather unlikable hardass from the very beginning. This episode was definitely entertaining and I’m waiting to see how he fits in with the team that didn’t think rich boy would bother to show up to work. For now, fake cop and lady cop deserve each other.

Reveal and Release

This was such a wonderfully written and acted episode. The episode that everything(?) came to light. The first scene already had me in tears with the FL breaking down to her family because she can't let go of the ML. This couple really did their number on me. I absolutely love how the FL stayed on his side even after she had broken up with him amd wasn't in contact she still defended him (previous episode). Then to see the ML so broken by what happened at the Pei house and hiding himself away but of course our girl was the one to find him. And thennnn after they had their coming together our FL got kidnapped?! Like gosh cam they get a break?!The SL, I have a special place in my heart for him and I doubt it'll happen with 2 episodes left but I need him to come around. His emotions when he found out his dad had kidnapped and endangered the FL and then him realizing that he might be very similar to his dad in that regard (given that his actions led to her dad getting hurt again). Only for them to shock us with his back filled with bruises (I HATE his dad)!! I need him to get redemption.That final reveal at the end though. Amazing actor from the dad, I was absolutely disgusted. The way he twisted everything to push the blame from himself when it was literally HIS fault everything happened. It showed that even though 20 years had passed he was still the same man. Jaded and evil.To add, I dislike the mother. She hasn't done good by her son the entire show. So quick to throw him under the bus and then play sad about it. Bad mom, quite useless.

idyllic

That's the immediate word that comes to mind when I think about this episode. Actually, the whole time I was expecting a punch out of left field especially towards the end, but instead it ended on a very sweet and peaceful note. Once again, this episode was more about Hye Jin and Jun Ho's relationship, which pushed the politics and school plot to the background, but that's not something I actually minded. Instead I liked how we stayed with Hye Jin throughout again (and also a little bit with Jun Ho) as she tried to navigate the change in her relationship with Jun Ho and her decision to leave the academy.I thought her reaction was very human and very "her". She clearly has feelings for Jun Ho (she kissed him back!!), and I thought the way she eventually accepted them was quite realistic. It wasn't drawn out. It was a very realistic depiction between two adults, which was again - quite nice to see. It could have very easily been boring to watch, but instead the script and the directing held up. I wanted to see what Hye Jin would do, even though I knew them getting together is the foregone conclusion, and that curiosity stems from the fact that Hye Jin and Jun Ho are both interesting and likable characters.Jun Ho felt very realistic as well, as someone who wanted her to return his feelings but also had to balance preparing for his first big assignment of the year. I liked that he didn't throw all of his work to the wayside just to prioritize his feelings for her. It makes for more of an interesting character if he's motivated by more things than just love and dating. I'm curious to see how their relationship will progress now that they know for sure that this affection is requited.

maybe it's just me, but i feel like Hill…

maybe it's just me, but i feel like Hill & Junji r more like bff's that kiss & show PDA from time to time. their kisses r dry & Junji doesn't even make an effort IMO (what with that hand in the pocket), as is he seems too laid back in his acting (as in bored & doesn't want to be there) & his being romantic is kinda, a turn-off! it's evident that he isn't into the romantic stuff. he is more comfortable laughing & being friendly with Hill. he isn't a newbie, so what do i chalk up the bad acting to??? is the uncomfortableness cause the character is gay?!?? he needs to shake it off, otherwise he will always only be a support character. ****************************************************************************************************************************************with Phat i get he was hurt & angry at his family & took it out on Bay. but i wont lie i am kinda bored when the 2nd couple r on screen - their only plus is their chemistry, which is hot & if i noticed this while fast-forwarding... i've said enough. but i need more from a side plot, then them having chemistry & knowing how to get it on.

is he still warm, thup? lmaooo

I was too excited and couldnt go back to sleep, so we are so fucking doing this. I have not been on social media becasue spoilers are so fucking real, okay I am hitting this shit before class. I have also made like 5 edits in the past two days lmao. NOT ENGLISH SUBTITLES ON IQIYI IS FUCKING CRIMINAL. I would never be in the PSID after this shit. I would leave fucking Thailand after this bro. They’re feeding the ghost that’s the whole thing. I’m like why are they doing this but in return for feeding the ghost human lives they get their lives extended. Met got hit by a goddamn car. He’s getting choked out by a ghost. OK, yeah this is starting to make more sense. I fear. These guys have zero sense of urgency and it's stressing me out. The ghost fighting him off rn, I'd stopped and do a social detox holy fuck. FINALLY WE ARE USING OUR GUNS. Khem is so dead. They need me on this team i would solo bom, his daddy, AND EVERY MOTHER FUCKING GHOSTS IN THIS SHOW. A never ending cycle if he kills him, he’s just gonna be just as bad as the guy if he kills him because he’s just gonna get haunted again and it’s a never-ending fucking cycle. I’m pretty sure he got shot in the head. How the fuck is he still up? Where is Sey? There is a reason Singha is on the front fucking lines. I understand if you get your mouth sowed shit. But if you’re still alive, your heart is still beating put your fucking hand in between the rope so it doesn’t strangle you when it pulls you up dumb ass. At least the last thing he tried to see was his man like that’s like till death do us part I fear.It is all over but at the cost of literally so many lives, I fear. Did we really win at the cost of literally so many fucking lives and so much undoable fucking trauma did we really fucking win dude? They are better than me because if I were any of them, I would’ve quit my fucking job. I think that nobody is to blame for Singha getting literally choked out and like dying. The only person who could’ve stopped that was sey and because he was the only one not chained up, but I’m like he went to get medical supplies but he should’ve unchained one of them before he went to go get medical supplies and it could’ve ended differently.I like the backstory with his mom that’s why he has the protection because of his mom that’s why, that is actually really sweet. I was not expecting that, that’s actually so sweet. Hospice is end-of-life care holy sad. What the hell. Also sey is a bitch.darin and sey deal with death and bodies literally so much but mek his fucking sobbing, his goddamn eyes out, dude. Also rip khem wth? Damn y’all almost got me with this. i almost crying. King is still not over him. What the fuck. 8.5 ending. they lowkey gave it the vecna special at the start and then they had this zomber travesty ass vibe for the rest of it. I am going to need a special episode to make up for the scenes where we go edged. fun show though. okay bye!
