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?

Not A Remake
I originally didn't watch this drama, because I thought it was a remake or the English Little Women. It is not!! From the beginning you are thrust into the poverty & the disillusionment of the 3 sisters. It also depicts very well how money is the root of all evil. It shows in stark contrast how individuals act when confronted with the option of good over bad. I liked the drama but I found it had way too many limbs on the tree. There was the family story - the grandmother story - the political corruption story - the money story - the murder & they threw in a fake romance between the main characters just I think for sustaining interest. It was an ok watch , only because the acting was grade A & on point. Too bad it had they waited until the last couple of episodes to try and tie in the multiple story linesWas this review helpful to you?
high value that we can take others
this is a really good story, guys... seriously... there are a lot of high values that we can take here. Here it is also told that money is that evil for humans. the best people we have also made mistakes. and we also learn to always work hard and fairly in completing what we start and do.It's a bit boring at the beginning of the episode, guys, but trust me, the more episodes, the more exciting it will be to follow.soon I will finish this drama hahahaha, I spent only about 2 days. Apart from that, I really like the Oh Family character

Well it was alright! This show definitiely had a strong start and it seemed like it was going somewhere but I remember being a bit disappointed by the ending. Especially by the couple (inju and doil) like what was the point of them having this divine tension and chemistry between each other if you arent even gonna do anything about it!?But I was really intrigued by that whole flower plot and the flower being like a serial killers autograph on every death.
I loved the sisters as well and their dynamic even though inju and inhye pissed me off sometimes..inkyeong remains the best sister in my opinion!!

No Romantic Beautiful Drama
A series about money.What risks would you take for money? Is this worth doing?
First of all, I loved the character of Kim Go Eun in the lead. It was very natural. She tended to be sometimes crazy and sometimes cautious. The middle sister was an ordinary person. And a journalist who can risk a lot for his goals. The younger sister, on the other hand, was annoying at times, but was actually the smartest character. The most crucial feature of the drama was the dialogues and character developments. Sometimes while watching this drama, I remembered the TV series My Mister. Both company issues and criminal ties have common ground between these two dramas.

if you’re looking for a show to keep you on your toes this is it.
I’m not one to write reviews, much less give 10/10 for everything …but this show exceeded my expectations and kept me wanting more. Anytime I thought I knew something, I found that I was wrong, which I loved! Usually I love the predictable and only shoot to watch shows like that, but deviating from that was the best decision I’ve made. The characters were amazing, they made you feel what they were feeling. The story line was genious and well thought out! The only thing I would have liked to see was a little more romance from 2 specific characters, but that is just the hopeless romantic in me! The ending was just as good as the rest of the story, because it unraveled more secrets and plots, connecting the rest of the dots! Simply amazing, chefs kiss!Was this review helpful to you?
Little Women- Drama, Action, Mystery, Thriller
This drama is one of the best dramas I have ever watched. Mysterious and thrilling, this drama had me on the edge of my seat the whole time I was watching it. The plot was amazing and the plot twists were epic. I felt so stressed watching this show though ?, because you'd never know what was going to happen next, (who betrayed who, who stole what, who was lying, who died next...). I loved the different relationships between characters and how each character developed throughout the show. The show had really good actors as well as an awesome OST. I really enjoyed watching this show and I HIGHLY recommend it.Was this review helpful to you?

bloody
WOW. A wonderful series with ups and downs, but excellent. The ending left me with a smile on my face, although I would have liked Choi Do-il and Oh In-joo to be together and have a happier ending for them. I would have liked In-joo to have more trust in Do-il, only that if I had put myself in her place, I would have done the same. I liked the way Do-il and Jong-ho looked at In-joo and In-kyung the most. HYPNOTISING.The ending of the other two sisters was one that I really liked. The series was very good, the story and the acting excellent. Series rated 10. The death of some of the characters seemed well-deserved. All in all, it was a really cool series. From now on, I will see red shoes and blue flowers differently.

Now this is what you call suspense
I am a sucker for dramas that center around women. A 9/10.I will start my review with the eldest child, Oh Injoo (Kim Goeun). The girl who will do anything and everything for her family to get out of poverty. She portrays the burden of being the eldest child really well. I am a little bit annoyed with her character since, out of them 3, she's not the brightest, so she does a lot of questionable things in this show, but you can understand why she does it. Goeun is one of my favorite actresses, and she did not disappoint here.
The second is Nam Jihyun (Oh Inkyung). At first, I thought that the actress's look was too soft for this kind of drama, but as the show goes on, you can see how she perfectly fits the character. The smartest and fearless one, but has a heart of marshmallow. I personally believe that she is one of the strongest characters, but this drama failed to show that side of hers. Nevertheless, you can see her dedication to being a reporter and fighting for justice. The flow of romance with Jihyun and Kang Hoon (Ha Jong Ho) is so adorable and just perfect—not too fast and not forced.
And the last sibling, Oh In Hye (Park Jihu), She had the least screen time, but she left me with the most impact. I saw other reviews that said they hated her character since she doesn't listen to her older sisters, but I understand her. In a poor family, she receives the most of everything, and she can see how her sisters do their best to get what she wants, and she feels burdened by it, so to not feel bad, she does her best to not depend on them, which results in her looking like a rebel. She might look like a brat for not listening to her sisters, but you can see how mature and smart she is when handling situations that involve the future of her and Hyorin (Jeon Chaeun).
I agree with everybody that some of them find it boring, since I find it also boring from the start due to lengthy episodes, but it gets better as the episodes go on. A lot of plot twists and big events happen in each episode, and I can't even imagine how this drama will end. Not only the main leads are interesting, but also the other women, like Kanghoon, their aunt Hyeseok, and one of the most evil characters I've seen, Jiwon.
Out of all the scenes, the one that I like the most is when Injoo gets her dream house, but the first thing she does is stay there and cry. That scene makes me shed a tear. You can see how happy she is, but she also feels empty.
If you have time and want a show that will stress you out and doesn't have a predictable ending, then I recommend this drama.

Very simple review cause i don't have time to write a longer one
My friend asked me for a kdrama recommendation, and the first one that popped into my mind was little women, and that reminded me that i didn’t watch the last two episodes, so i watched them and i’m glad i did. I remember being confused and losing patience as a lot of things that happened didn’t have answers yet, and everything was tragic not a single good thing happened, that’s why i felt discouraged and stopped watching it, but it seems like the last two eps had all the answers. I loved the action and the new story, the acting is amazing and the way everything happened in a steady pace is good, they didn’t leave a single thing unanswered thank god, i wouldn’t rewatch it though, one time is enough.Overall 9/10

An interesting if marginally frustrating show. Let down by parts of the last few episodes
This is not for you if :1. You're looking for traditional thriller/mystery
2. Traditional heart warming sibling behaviour
Do watch if :
1. Looking for some unusual plot , and dont mind dialogue heavy drama
The drama has some incredible dialogue that feels like direct shots fired at society we are in today. The show felt less about a plot , and more about the journey each of the characters undergoes . The ways in which various situations change them for better/worse , the complexities of reltionships and imperfect family dynamics .
In different ways , each of the Oh siblings move from being in the sidelines to learning to own the space they occupy.
Given the unusual plot base , i actually enjoyed the blunders and struggles of the leads . The chaos felt very similar to have ordinary ,everyday people would react when faced with extraordinary/bizzare events.
The osts werent particularly memorable , then again it requires most of your focus to be able to follow the plot , so ill have to give them a zeperate listen.
Costumes and set design were actually really well done in setting the tone for the scenes we were dealing in. Actors did a decent job, and had you immersed in the story, which is q win for me.
Real gold goes to the writers who wrote some heart hurting zingers with the dialogue.

Good Enough
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.
