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.

olay etrafında dönüp duran karakterler?
Ara verdiğim için izleyemediğim bir diziydi, bende yazın son günlerinde bu diziye başladım. Bu dizi aynı zamanda hem büyüleyici hem de kafa karıştırıcıydı. Gizem atmosferi her bölümde kendini hissettiriyor, ama karışık olay örgüleri ve mantıksız karakterlerle birazcıkk kötü bir durumda.Benim için bazı olumlu şeylerle başlayalım:
İlk olarak kadro çok güzeldi sevdiğim oyuncuları toplanmış bir şekilde görmek beni mutlu etti. Bu seriden keyif aldığım şeyler, iyi kurulmuş bir ruh hali, harika aksesuarlar (o orkide çiçeği çok gerçekçi görünüyor) ve ayrıntılı sanat eserleriydi. Bir olay örgüsü olarak bu çiçek büyüleyici bir şekilde gerçekçi (tabii ki asla solamayacağına dair inançsızlığı bir kenarıya bırakalım).
Yukarıdaki unsurlara rağmen, bu seri çok düzgün olamıyor.
Tüm karakterler mantıksız olay örgüsünün etrafından geçiyor gibi görünüyor ve karakterler arasında sıfır gelişme var. (yani neden In-hye ve Hyo-rin bu kadar iyi arkadaşlar? neden Do-il In-Ju'yu korumak istiyor?) Bazı karakterler, sadece çalışma süresini doldurmak için önceki bölümlerden çok farklı davranma eğilimindeler. Ana karakterimize neden önemli olduğu konusunda pek bir açıklama yapılmadı, sorulduğunda herkes bu soru etrafında dans ediyor gibiydi. Karakterler arasında etkileşim olsaydı bu seri kesinlikle daha çabuk biterdi.
Olay örgüsü, birçok unsurun aynı anda gerçekleşmesi nedeniyle karmaşıktı, olayları düzgün bir şekilde birbirine bağlamadı. Hikayeyi devam ettirmek için karakterlerin uzun açıklamalarının ardından bize birçok güzel görüntü gösteriliyor. Bana bu seriden ne hatırlıyorsun deselerdi eminim sadece mavi orkide derdim.
Tarihsel olayların sadece olay örgüsü için kötü kullanımından bahsetmiyorum bile. Bunun için zaten eleştiri almış bir seri.
Genel olarak bu dizi, birçok insanın bir hikaye üzerinde işbirliği yapmak için bir araya geldiğini ve hikayenin tam olarak nereye gitmesini istediklerin karar veremedikleri hissi veriyor. Çoğu kişi için etkili bir dizi olsada mantıksal açıdan eksiği olan bir diziydi.
Sanat, sahne ve dekor açısından gayet güzel.
Ne kadar karmaşık şeyler olsada izlerken keyif aldığımı söylemeden edemem. Finale az kalmışken hızlandığı için çok heyecanla izledim son bölümleri. Kısaca konuyu başta uzatıp sonda patlatıyorlar. Güzeldi güzel

Another Vincenzo but not as good.
I had this drama in my list for a while now, but it wasn't a priority because I had a long list to finish before this.That being said, I dived into this show without seeing and details like synopsis, cast or production team. I was aware of the main cast tho(Who isn't?).
However, it took me just 30 minutes in the first episode to realise that it's a drama directed by Director Kim Hee Won(the brilliant mind behind Vincenzo).
Despite the fact that Vincenzo was a masterpiece, I wasn't expecting a show that was produced exactly the same. Identical meaning - the same dynamics between the leads(less chemistry here tho), the same music vibes(not as catchy as Vincenzo), the same deaths and drama sequences and most of all, an unexpected villian (but I could predict that early on in the show, so that didn't come as a surprise to me). My suspicion of Kim Hee Won was solidified when the end credits rolled after each episode - the dramatic music with name of the drama banging on the screen(ALL VINCENZO FGS).
In my opinion, the show was pretty good, it was entertaining and had a well defined story. The cast did a good job with their characters as well. Not much re-watch value but it's a pretty good watch one time for sure.
I know I keep saying this but - IT FELT LIKE WATCHING VINCENZO WITH A DIFFERENT STORYLINE. Because of that, I kept making comparisons at each step and that took away ALOT from my watching experience.

Moral and Money
It is very good show and very good plot. Very dynamic and interesting story. Wherever, it is true that it is hard to follow all characters, because it happens so much just in 12 episodes. I highly recommend to watch it with your native language audio, because it will be easy to concentrate on the story line. The three sisters personify the clash between morality and conscience and the pursuit of happiness and the good life through money.Wi Haa Joon as Choi Do II is great actor and I really missed at least 1-2 romantic scenes with him and Kim Go Eun as Oh In Joo. If there were just a little bit touch of romantic, the show will be a masterpiece. Great cinematography. 8/10

Worth watching!
I was a little hesitant to start the show, but one I did I literally had to binge watch the whole show. Loved that the show was intriguing and unpredictable, always wondering what was going to happen next. Story is very much mystery based and the story line was very refreshing. Another thing is that it is not focused on romance, which other shows similar to Little Women is, so if you like seeing romance between main characters this is probably not the show for you. Overall, highly recommend watching the show if you are a sucker for mysteries and love nerve wrecking stories.Was this review helpful to you?

ALL YOU WANTED TO KNOW BEFORE WATCHING!!
Using only the vaguest starting points from Louisa May Alcott’s novel of the same name on which it is based, writer Chung Seo-Kyung forged a bold path with her tale of dizzying adventure and hair-raising suspense.Given the series’ huge reception, one hopes that it will serve as a wake-up call for a conservative industry that still sticks to outdated gender norms.
Adventure and suspense are words that are typically reserved for male-led stories in the Korean market, but Little Women gave us a story dominated by strong, inspiring, and richly characterized women, the likes of which have seldom been seen before.
Following the tribulations of the poor Oh sisters, In-Joo (Kim Go-Eun), In-Kyung (Nam Ji-Hyun), and In-hye (Park Ji-hu), the series ultimately gave viewers exactly what they wanted, but the journey to get there was never predictable and often rousing.
Writer Chung took advantage of the structure of Korean soap opera dramas (also known as makjang), which move at breakneck speed and are peppered with shocking reveals, to give us a story stacked with emotional highlights.
Knowing what we want and how to subvert our expectations, Chung plays us like a fiddle.
