Little Women

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 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.

This show is amazingly good when it comes to plot-line, suspense, actors, cinematography - pretty much everything you would want in a good show! I know the new episodes air only on Saturdays and Sundays but it's worth waiting for to watch what happens next. Each character is inter-connected in a mystery, and the story line is very unique. I specifically like Kim Go-eun's role (Oh In-ju in the show) and acting. She plays her role really well!

The suspense and mystery keeps you glued to the show. You get hooked starting the first episode and crave to find out what happens next. Hats off to the writers and everyone who created this masterpiece!

I really liked the first episode I thought it would portray hardships, fundamentals of poverty, broken family dynamics etc. The concept of doing better than what your circumstances allow. But this turned quickly into a murder mystery. I hate in general this genre, it doesn't feel suspenseful to me and often there are unrealistic aspects that make it unrelatable and not rewarding to watch. I tried to look past that and the made-up drug flower that is constantly in the main story. After the first episodes, I at least wanted to give it a fair shot. I even thought that Kim Go-eun who I was underwhelmed with in the past was decent. But I just watched the sixth episode and just had it. The secret society, military power dynamics is so fake. The best unrealistic stories are when they feel authentic to their universe. But this show played out in "real life" and everything felt so fabricated, I felt done. But I forced myself to continue and I will grant this that it was watchable. The last episodes was decent and the complex story made me almost like it. I didn't mind how it all wrapped up, but damn what a drag this was, it didn't do it for me.

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.
