The financial aspects of the show were fascinating. It's crazy how much money can influence people's lives. The characters' decisions were often driven by financial desperation. It's a reminder of how important financial literacy is.

I wonder how accurate the portrayal of the financial world was. It would be interesting to see a deeper dive into the financial schemes.

I was intrigued by the comparison to the original Little Women. While they share the sisterhood theme, this K-drama took a darker, more suspenseful route. The characters were complex and relatable, even with the extreme circumstances. The show did a good job exploring issues of poverty, family, and ambition. Its weird that the setting is modern

Little Women was such a vibe! The outfits were on point, and the Seoul scenery was goals. The sisterhood was everything, and I'm still thinking about that epic finale. Definitely recommend adding this to your watchlist!

Has anyone else noticed how much the youngest sister's style inspired this season's fashion trends?

Little Women was stressful to watch. The sisters went through so much. I’m glad it ended well. The story was interesting, but it was too dark for my taste.

Little Women was a total surprise. I wasn't expecting the story to take such a dark turn. The sisters were really relatable, and I found myself rooting for them. The mystery kept me hooked. I'm a big fan of shows with strong female leads, and Little Women definitely delivered. The story was gripping, with plenty of twists and turns. The sisters' bond was heartwarming, but the challenges they faced were heartbreaking.

This is why I said the Korean version was nothing like the American. In my mind, I did not equate any of Oh sisters with the March sisters.

I also look for series with strong female leads. I was very pleased to see that there was not one strong female lead, but 3 of them! They all had my support, but I really rooted for the baby sister since she also had to overcome an ailment.
