Little Women

Korean Drama " Little Women " is the story of three sisters, completely different from each other, being drawn into the world of the rich and priviliged.

The drama is more aesthetics and deep dialogues at times, sucrificing its plot for it, but the overall result is intense. The story is complicated, slowly being built up, revealing each characters' real self and motives. The mystery with the rooms and the suicide case were dark and unpredictable and kept things interesting. The romance, on the other hand, was moody and more of an outline in the end.

The performances, in addition, were all great by everyone in the cast.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

This show does not make any sense. It felt like I was losing IQ with every minute I watched. There is a weird double plot that basically is the same and the reactions of characters in certain situations are just odd and would never happen like this in real life. With Korean movies and TV shows I sometimes get the feeling that the producers/directors have a checklist that there must be hate, love, anger, sadness and happiness covered for every character in every episode and this is done so blatantly that it makes me want to stop watching. The plot of this show is ridiculous and the drama feels artificial and forced.

6/10 would not recommend.

A stellar edge-of-the-seat thriller with twists that make you gasp and sit up! The show has a dark theme yet enables viewers to admire the writing, cinematography, direction and music. Every episode was eventful, making the viewer increasingly curious about the premise. Kim Go-eun is a familiar face, at least for me, who is the thread that holds this story together, whilst Nam Ji-hyun plays her sister. The latter ends up being the dark horse that manages to bring the story together and is a significant part of revealing the storyline to the viewers. A noteworthy mention for Uhm Ji-won, who portrays her character with utmost sincerity and dedication, leaving you in awe of her performance. The unique storyline with a noir-esque vibe makes you reminisce about the old-school writing style. Watch it to be amazed at how the story unfolds. Please do not read any spoilers. I promise you it will be worth it!!

The story of three poor sisters, one is a reporter, one works in accounts and one is a student artist. All three become embroiled with a chaebol family after seventy billion won goes missing from a slush fund. The story moves at a swift pace and murder and mayhem follow when a sinister organisation seems to be involved. The first notable thing about the series is the outstanding performances by the entire cast which makes some of the insane plot believable. The series is not afraid to face the dark side of individual characters and even though a person can be inherently good they can also make mistakes. A well written series with a fast twisty pace which is definitely worth a watch.

The use of color and symbols in this show was absolutely stunning. The bright blue flowers, the red shoes, the red blood, the beige clothing.. it is all so incredibly memorable for me.

The entire show felt like a piece of art.

The plot was actually a little less memorable than the visuals, but it was very suspenseful and exciting. Throughout the entire show you never really know who to trust.

The characters were great, the acting was phenomenal.

Despite all the great things about the show, it does get 8/10 becuase the plot seemed a bit rushed at the end and not all of the plot lines got tied together.

But it's worth the watch.
