Little Women

"Intriguing Korean series revolving around 3 sisters. Subtitled. "

"A series about three sisters who are pulled into a murder mystery and conspiracy from their lives of poverty into the orbit of those who are relics and powerful, worth watching as one sister uses her reporting skills to uncover the truth while her sister bring clues to the mystery!"

"Now with all the episodes out, I will say they had me on the edge of my seat the entire way, I love the acting and directing and storytelling in this show! So well done, one of my favorite k-dramas so far!!"

"An interesting adaptation that isn't really anything like Louisa May Alcott's semi-autobiographical novel other than having characters somewhat like the March sisters - with similar interests and characteristics - and a couple other key characters from the book. We have In-ju (Meg, the eldest), In-kyeong (Jo, the second eldest), In-hye (Amy, the youngest), Jong-ho (Laurie), and Hye-seok (great-aunt Josephine). If you're wondering about the second youngest, Beth, you'll have to watch to find out, but she is a character in this show. Like Meg, In-ju is considered beautiful, and she takes care of her sisters. Like Jo, In-kyeong is a stubborn, willful tomboy who assists her great aunt. Like Amy, In-hye is an artist and the coddled baby sister. Like Laurie, Jong-ho was childhood friends with In-kyeong (Jo). And like great-aunt Josephine, Hye-seok is a wealthy single woman who lives in a mansion and tends to be judgemental and cold but is soft-hearted. Other than a few small things, that's pretty much all this show has in common with the novel. While the novel is a year in the lives of the little family, this show is a mystery thriller that includes embezzlement, a dirty politician, a murderous, psychotic wife, and a secret society that begins during the Vietnam war and centers around a hallucinogenic and beautiful rare orchid. Like I said, nothing like the book. After watching the first episode, I wasn't sure that I wanted to continue watching because it looked too political and was a little hard to follow because of trying to read the subtitles, watch the show, and remember who was who, which can be hard given the hard-to-grasp Korean names of people, political agendas, and organizations. (That was a very long sentence. Too long?) But I looked to see if there were spoilers for the show to help me understand some things I wasn't clear on.

"Prepare to be captivated by this mesmerizing Korean series! Delve into a world woven with mystery, action, and the intricate bonds of sisterhood. Witness a tale where love, loyalty, and the fight against power and wealth intertwine. With each episode, the storyline unfolds to reveal not just a fight against an influential family, but a narrative of unyielding strength and the indomitable human spirit. A viewing experience that will seize your heart from the very first moment and leave you yearning for more."

"This was amazing, and the mystery was very weaved together-small amount of romance but that is just perfect for this show. 5/5"

"Had me at the edge of my seat!"

"Main character was a little dumb and made me mad here and there, but was an amazing show."

"This is an incredible series! It's been dubbed in English, so you don't have to watch subtitles. There is so much going on, it's wonderful written! Highly recommend!"

"Oh the drama - murder, scandal, secret society, 'eat the rich', will they/ won't they?!, this show has it all. I loved it. "
