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!

Not Bad, But Not My Kind of Drama

I was sucked into this drama by the title. My exact reaction: "Korean drama of Little Women? I can't wait!!" I'm not a purist when it comes to book to TV/movie adaptations. So while this drama did not follow my expectations at all, I still found all the changes they did to the source material interesting. Anyway, you can't really top either 1993 or 2019 "Little Women" in my mind. I see that a lot of people have already posted reviews so I'll just include some of my thoughts.

Interestingly, In-joo (Meg) is treated more like the main character than In-kyung (Jo). Sadly like most versions of "Little Women" In-hye (Amy) is given little character development. Her character really seems to be shoved to the side by the end of the drama. In-joo and In-kyung are both clearly outlined characters, but I can't say the same for In-hye. I really enjoyed the two love interests, Do-il (John Brooke) and Jung-ho (Laurie). Neither resemble their book counterpart in my opinion, but I still like them. The great-aunt was also wonderful and a good nod to the book. All I have to say about the villain characters are that I found them both disappointing and forgettable after the first few episodes.

From the comments, I learned this is a "makjang" drama. In all my years of drama watching, I've never heard this term before and will probably avoid any future dramas attached to it. While I enjoyed "Little Women", I never felt really that connected to it. I think that is in part because it is a makjang, meaning it just has some ridiculous/over-the-top moments that I could just not ignore. I also feel the ridiculousness ruined some character development. I will praise the actors who all brought their a-game. This drama was good, but not for me. Had it not been titled "Little Women", I never would have picked it up.

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 again 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 (2022) - watched this series ongoing. This drama is fully packed with thrill, crime and tense. It isn’t really believable in my perspective but it’s a really nice watch. I was waiting for the next revelations every weekend and see the chaos unfold. There were some unanswered questions for me in the ending but I like the ending. I don’t think a second season is necessary for this. The siblings love for each other is remarkable but what I love the most in the drama is the friendship between Hwa Young and In Joo, it’s really beyond my understanding of friendship and I love them both as characters.

Mystical blue orchid juice; spit out.

The bigger the expectations, the bigger the disappointment. I was looking forward to this show for the cast and what seemed to be a complex, suspenseful story; it had a fresh vibe to it. Instead, the show fell flat from start to finish. The cardinal issue is the overwhelming lack of reality in virtually every character, their motivations, and plot lines. In fact, I wonder if they would have better succeeded by employing a more surreal tone/style or adding clearer fantasy elements. It's hard for me to digest a mystical blue orchid juice schema as realistic. It does look like a nice color for a cocktail, though.

The three sisters' interrelationships were not compelling or authentic. They were never on the same page with anything, willfully ignoring one another's advice and support, even freely embarrassing one another publicly, and putting each other in danger. Are they really sisters? Oh In Hye and Park Hyo Rin looked like they could be sisters, but were not.

Even though Won Sang A is overall not believable as a character, I did enjoy her skilled execution of 'delightful perversion'. She deserved a better ending scene; it was lame. Kim Go Eun, who I've generally enjoyed in other shows, was regrettably dull as Oh In Joo. I even got a bad acting vibe from her in this show. Oh In Hye's character was worthy of hate, but I was still impressed at how the actress put out a convincing arrogance, immaturity; she almost felt like a good character that was placed incorrectly on the board. Oh In Kyung, on the other hand, was too narrow and stubborn to enjoy, I feel the acting/directing could have been interpreted in a less narrow way; she had the right look for the part, but the delivery was simply overcooked.

Music was fairly good. The opening track, Power Scandal, was the right vibe for the show. I picture weird lizards crawling around peoples face when I listened to this. It definitely enhanced the 'twisted' feeling of the plot and villain characters. The OST tracks were mostly dark in tone and served well to enhance the thriller tension and action. Listening to the OST tracks alone, they feel appropriate for nighttime city suspense.

I'd actually like to rate this show lower, but I can feel the strong effort of production, the effort to try to do something different, great, and compelling. The show always felt like it had that potential to be great and it wasn't so far from accomplishing that with some modifications. Although the cast and crew fell short of my expectations, I applaud them for trying to give us something fresh.

seru tapi apa sih?

Story
Dari 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

Good show, interesting story, but hopes too much you like its characters

First off, Oh In-Hye is insufferable. I hated each second I had to watch her.
Second, while Oh In-Ju wasn't nearly as bad, in the last few episodes her character became, honestly, very dumb.
While I can understand why the characters acted the way they did, I don't agree that it was well executed.
And the OST kinda sucked.
Otherwise, Oh In-Kyung was a delight and her partner in crime had really nice chemistry with her so their segments were very fun.
I had a bit more hope about the last twists but they were still nice and I liked most character endings (except In-Hye but it might be personal lol).

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?

Little women

Me gustó mucho, pero definitivamente no era lo que esperaba.

Las actuaciones son buenísimas, me gustó mucho el papel de cada perdonajes y todo lo que te transmiten.

Pero es un drama que me pareció muuuuy lento, esperaba que tuviera mucha acción y la única acción que hubo ocurre en los capítulos finales. De ahí en más, es un drama tranquilo que va construyendo la historia capítulo a capítulo de forma muy lenta y eso llegó a hacerlo un poco denso a pesar de tener pocos episodios.

Sin embargo la historia es muy buena, es muy intrigante y cada capítulo te deja queriendo saber más y más.

Me esperaba algo más del final, pero en general el drama no estuvo mal, fue muy bueno.
