Korean drama is a fake 'gimmick' again, it has just started broadcasting and hit a new high in ratings, and the new episode just updated has set a new low in ratings; like a roller coaster, it is about a new Korean drama starring Kim Go Eun " ladies ".
Kim Go-eun, currently the hottest actress in South Korea, not to mention the earliest role of "Ghost Bride", "Soft and Cellular" aired in the first half of this year is very popular and has received a lot of recognition for her acting skills.
So she almost kept film appointments, and it didn't take long before the new drama started airing.
The English name of this Korean drama named "Little Woman", although the screenwriter refers to the basic character design of the literary masterpiece "Little Woman", but according to the current updated plot, the similarity is almost negligible.
So, what about "Little Ladies", which was adapted from the prototype of a literary masterpiece but embedded in the inside story of South Korea's own 'chaebol'?

Three sisters
If you suddenly have 70 billion (although it is Korean won , but also a lot of money), how do you spend it?
"Little Ladies" is a Korean drama with suspenseful content. It tells the story of three sisters from poor families who are involved in a conspiracy of money and power. The story of Wu Renzhu, Wu Renjing, Wu Renhui and is the main line. At the beginning, the background of the story is very clearly explained: the three sisters do not seem to be rich, but they are all good at 'making money'.
In the play, the three sisters live with their mother. Since the two sisters left some regrets growing up, in order not to let their sister have these regrets, they not only prepared cakes for her sister's birthday, but also saved them for her The money to study in Europe; but I didn’t expect it, but my mother took the money away after my sister’s birthday, Yueheifenggao, and said: My daughter still has to struggle in her life, and as a mother, she has few opportunities.
The story begins, the direction and development begin to change, and the new life of the three sisters gradually begins.
In the setting of this show, the three sisters grew up in an environment with almost no difference, but their personalities are very different:
"The eldest sister Ren Zhu is a small accountant in a big company, and the second sister Ren Jing is a reporter from the social department of the TV station. The two sisters have to pay off their debts first with their monthly salaries, and the rest to pay rent, utilities, and household expenses. Even before their mother ran away from home, the three sisters took turns sleeping in a bunk. The younger sister, Renhui, has a talent for painting. , I was admitted to the famous Shilan Arts High School with good grades." Since the launch of
, I am more impressed by the eldest sister In Zhu played by Kim Go Eun, she plays the kind of office worker who is very real in life, and she is gentle and careful at work. Cautious, sensitive and inferior, but always know how to open up and laugh at himself; when faced with the kindness of some wealthy people's 'giving', he instinctively refuses and walks away with his head held high.
This also stems from the fact that she is the eldest in the family, and her desire to control is still very strong. After all, the eldest family in the family has a decisive momentum and a grumpy temper, and the younger sister who was born after her is more considerate and considerate. .
Because of this, Inju doesn't seem to know much about the world of work in the workplace: she really doesn't know why she's being pushed out of the entire floor.
may be the problem of "shallow eye sockets" in most workplaces, although sheI am only a two-year accounting major, but I have also been hired by the current company. My ability is not bad, but I have never had any in-depth planning for my career.
The second sister, Inkyo, was raised in a wealthy aunt's house since she was a child. This setting is similar to that in "Little Women". She was mean to even the mother of the three sisters. Although this mother could not be on the stage, she still held a big place in the child's heart. So Inkyung later fell out with his aunt and returned home.
The little sister Renhui is very artistic, but she is calmer than her sisters, and has a completely different sense of maturity from her appearance. She will reject the kindness of her sisters, it is in her eyes, their hard work and dedication It's all a burden, so it's better to rely on yourself.
is such a peaceful family that was involved in a huge sum of money. It seems that some people who are related to the three sisters are closely related to the money.

The Rise of Female Characters
This Korean drama is a 'chaebol drama' that has been badly filmed before: "Female screenwriter, female director, female starring, it is another lively female group drama, the plot is compact, no Garbage time, no procrastination, no procrastination, no stupidity, everyone has mouths and brains, full of suspense, and some of the black humor of "Parasite"."
The reason is because the shots, colors, and soundtracks in the play are of cinematic quality. The title is still as impressive as ever and releases a lot of information. The rhythm of the storytelling is also just right. The perspective of the female characters is really enjoyable. Among them, Choo Ja Hyun The performance is particularly charming.
Although Chen Huaying was offline after only half an episode, it also showed many female-level survival modes.
Suddenly one day, Chen Huaying disappeared for a long time. Wu Renzhu came to her house as a friend in the workplace and found her dead in the closet. A few days later, she received a huge sum of money left by Chen Huaying.
took her money and recalled all the things she had spent with her. Renzhu didn't believe that she committed suicide, so she slowly found out the truth of Chen Huaying's death.
in this half-episode of Chen Huaying, I realized the light of friendship between girls: she took the excluded Inju to a high-end restaurant for dinner, and when her shoes broke, she was replaced with a decent one, and she was given a gift after she left Give her only three pairs of high-heeled shoes in the whole country, comfort her with gentle encouragement, and tell her not to be discouraged, but to hold her head high.
She has divided herself into two personalities: she is extremely shabby in the company, and she is also excluded like Renzhu; after work, she is another elegant and noble Bai Fumei.
It is not difficult to see that the "smart, beautiful and rich" is the real Chen Huaying.
In the portrayal of female characters, in addition to Inju and Huaying, the second and younger sisters are also very personal: Inkyung is very talented in finance and investment, but with this strong sensitivity and insight, he turned around when he turned around. the reporter. Because of this talent, the impact of reporting the news will be doubled, and I can only control my emotions properly by drinking alcohol; my sister is so good at drawing, and she is not very famous, but she thought of painting for others to make money, not only that, but also helping employers won the jackpot.
It seems that the women in this show can obviously make money by their talents, but they want to take the sword and find the meaning of life in poverty.Life traps, their own 'tragic life' is more reasonable.

high and low ?
Going back to the beginning, the ratings for the latest episode updated two days ago were very dismal, and many commented that this is another Korean drama that goes high and low.
is actually not so pessimistic. After all, it is very small, with only 12 episodes. The first two episodes are as high-profile as the first two episodes. In order to tell the plot line clearly, it is normal to play a little bit dull.
Although there are three sisters and three lines in the plot, in the end, they are related to the chaebol family at different levels.
Some people say that there are two educations that children from poor families should receive most: one is to have a correct view of money, and the other is to find their own talents, what they are best at.
But what many people may not know is that children from poor families both crave and hate money, as if only hardship is right, and poor people with a lot of wealth are evil.
In many reports today, it is not difficult to find that once children from poor families are involved with wealth, it will have a particularly bad negative impact, because they should have a clean air; after all, "love flows to people who know love better." Money goes to those who know more about wealth; suffering goes to those who will endure hardship the most."
Now that the story is told, I'm starting to look forward to the next episodes, thinking about raising a few more episodes and watching them slowly. The hint in the play, that mysterious and life-threatening orchid, is also called the thief princess.
said: The orchid that has been excluded will become a real princess when it opens.
This paved the way for a lot of suspense. I think many viewers are thinking about what this means.
