Little Women (2022)

Orquídea Azul

Uma história envolvente, cheia de reviravoltas e nem um pouco previsível. Ansiava todo semana pelo próximo episódio, pois cada mistério me intrigava. Sobre as irmãs, a personagem Oh In Joo ganhou meu coração, ela sempre vê o melhor nas pessoas, de coração mole mas corajosa. A Oh In Kyung é simplesmente maravilhosa, sempre com os melhores planos e nada a fazia desistir! A Oh In Hye foi difícil gostar dela, só no último episódio mesmo. O Choi Do Il foi perfeito, duvidei dele no inicio ao fim, mas não tinha como ela já havia conquistado meu coração. A vilã da história muito bem desenvolvida, psicopata total, amei!
Sem dizer da atuação impecável de todos os atores, principalmente da Kim Go Eun, nesse drama ela se superou!

Destitute Didn’t Have to Mean Dumb

The first episode kicked things off well, but the story failed to keep that strong premise. I was expecting to see three sisters who were ride or die, bringing down those corrupt killers and manipulators whom they found themselves entangled with, while managing to elevate themselves, even if just enough to do better than they were, out of extreme poverty.

Instead, we got three sisters who were as about as bonded as three siblings living oceans apart. The oldest sister was the dumbest out if the three. She spent almost every episode in tears. Sometimes warranted. Sometimes not. She signed her name to a legal document that was in a language she couldn’t read. Repeatedly confronted potentially dangerous people and threatened to expose their crimes. Handed a stack of stolen money to a woman who knew she was dirt poor, while knowing people were looking for said money. Trusted everything a man said whom she didn’t know from Adam. And continued to be a crusader of justice for her BFF who set her up in a serious mess of financial fraud. The stupidness went on and on with this one.

The middle sister had a few more brain cells to rub together. For she could see the forest for the trees. However, she wasn’t smart enough to be meticulous and strategic in her efforts which resulted in her ongoing failures.

The youngest sister was gullible and dumb. I guess she can get a pass as she was a teen and having to deal with being dirt poor and abandoned by her parents. However, her complete disregard for her sisters and total belief in her rich BFF and family was ridiculous. Also, she looked high throughout the series but perhaps that was in effort to convey her depression with her situation. Still it did the character no favors.

The plot actually could’ve been good if those at the center of it wasn’t so dumb. I gave this 7 episodes because I like Kim Go Eun. However, I finally gave up on the series because the plot continued to drag and I became over these characters lack of intellect. Moreover, what also annoyed me was all the educated and/or rich characters in this came off smart while the poor characters came off dumb.

The cast is expensive

Only 2 ep are left. EP 9 and 10 was Roller coster. If your thriller movie fan u can watch it. Wath it drama without spoiler is very good idea.You Won't regret after watching it. The story of three sister is so good. First sister want money for living,second one wants dignity and third one is strict about her dream. Tbh,I Don't like the third sister,she is kinda disturbing, I thought there will be character development of sister three, But It doesn’t. And last ep 2 can't bring any character development. Okay, now It's about sister two, she is kinda messy but she is kind towards her 2 sister not like the third one. And she has dream of becoming a great Reporter though there is lot of hardship for her, bcz she is poor.THIS poverty problem same goes to 1 st sister, she is really a nice and her mind is clear. But in her office nobody likes her.Although there parents dont live with them. They always have problem.And what will happen when 1st sister find 70 billion won and 2nd one stand up against a Mayor candidate by writing article and 3 rd one becomes frnd with that mayor's daughter, and Mayor 's wife financially help 3rd sister. And what will happen when 1st sister only one frnd died by suicide, but she believes it a murder.

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
