Little Women, episode 12

Thoughts

For Hwa-Young her friendship with In-Joo was genuine and she didn’t intend for In-Joo to be involved in her wish to avenge Sang-A. I understand In-Joo being angry and frustrated with her. She put her life on the line and for what? For Hwa-Young’s revenge. But one thing I don’t understand was Sang-A’s reasoning for playing with Hwa-Young’s life for 10 years. She did it because she didn’t understand why Hwa-Young was upset because of her mother’s death.

I must say I am pissed that Do-Il and In-Joo didn’t end up together or at least kissed or embraced each other lovingly. It makes sense to me that she’s not ready for a relationship but could we at least have had a kiss! And why is it that hard for him to confess his feelings for her? She confronted him about why he keeps helping her even though she doesn’t have the 70 billion won. He said it’s like a habit of sort with a smirk. He indirectly said he cared about her and not money. And am I the only one who noticed that Sang-A’s phone was on speaker when she called her “bodyguard” in front of In-Joo. Did In-Joo hear his “love confession”?   

But at least we got one happy ending. Jong-Ho and In-Kyung.

Little Women, Episode 11

Thoughts

Little Women is dragging In-Joo through the mud. I sympathy with her because she has gone through a lot. A complicated story that won’t be easy to tell in court. I was a bit nervous when I saw Do-Il step into court, but I had faith in him after he has continually saved her. Her losing her money was part of his plan. I also love how offended she is when he bluntly tells her flaws, but it is because he knows her well and wants to keep her safe. He did it again when he told the truth knowing he could be criminally charged by clearing In-Joo’s name.   

I actually thought Jong-Ho and In-Kyung would kiss when she hugged him. But I believe she’s slowly realizing that she has feelings for him too.

Little Women, episode 10

Thoughts

It felt like Little Women heard my prayers about Do-Il and In-Joo. I was fully convinced that he did what he was asked to do by Jae-Sang when he blackmailed Do-Il with his parents. But turns out it was all part of his plan. I also saw a bit of surprise when Jae-Sang bluntly said that they had betted on his feelings for In-Joo. I will be pissed if his storyline will not be he thought he only cared for money, but then he met In-Joo. I also laughed when I paused to read the contract. It said, Mrs. Oh will not be able to tell a lie, so it’d be best for her to not know this situation. He knows her so well and didn’t want to put her in danger, because of her habit not being able to keep a lie. What got me was when Do-Il’s father said that Do-Il had asked him stay awake at the hospital to make sure she wouldn’t be in danger. Don’t tell me he doesn’t like her, even his father can see it.     

We learned from this episode that Jae-Sang was one of Sang-A’s puppets. He killed and admitted to being a murderer, which I think went against her plan and when it was revealed he was a murderer to the public, she killed him off.  

And I’m glad Hyo-Rim escaped from her toxic family and went with In-Joo to Japan.

Little Women, episode 9

Thoughts

Do-Il coming to In-Joo’s rescue twice has to mean something. I refuse to believe it’s only because of money. He puts himself in danger by revealing to Sang-A and therefore Jae-Sang that he was helping her instead of getting rid of her as he was ordered to. It’s his small gestures that make my heart flutter every time. Patting her head, comforting her and being by her side while she’s being vulnerable. I hope if they reveal later on that he actually cared for her and that his feelings for her was genuine, that he stayed by her bed all night. One thing I paid attention to was when he said that he couldn’t come up with a plan but still decided to rescue her. From what I’ve seen I know Do-Il likes to have a plan for everything, which makes me sure that he truly cares for her.

Everything with Jong-Ho and In-Kyung makes me sad. I still find him suspicious, but I still feel sorry for him. He confessed his love for her, but she turned him down and legit told him she didn’t feel a rush of excitement and butterflies when she’s with him. I was glad she hugged him back when he rushed to embrace her.

Sang-A has created a replica of that doll-house and locked In-Hye in it. Why? And her mother was locked in it before.

Little Women, episode 8

Thoughts

This has to be the most shocking episode. In-Joo is the lead character in Hyo-Rim’s mother Sang-A’s play. But I still ask myself why and is everyone a character in her play? Do-Il was asked to get rid of In-Joo, but not by Sang-A, who wanted her to jump of a building disguised as a suicide. Jae-Sang wasn’t specific with how he wanted So-Il to get rid of her. And I’m not sure he will do it, because I genuinely think he likes her. He keeps finding her adorable. Admiring her when she’s not looking. Concerned when she’s fragile emotionally or physically. I don’t believe he’ll be a villain because it would be too obvious.     

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Little Women, episode 7

Thoughts

I somehow get more and more confused as I watch Little Women. Especially who to trust. In my eyes (or I just deeply wish for it to be true) Do-Il cares for In-Joo, but he just won’t accept it. He came to her Great Aunt’s house because he knew of the orchids effect and how dangerous it can be to possess one. It was clear he was worried for her when he wanted to reach her when she passed out. I felt without shame butterflies when he held her hand for a split second and I don’t believe he doesn’t care for her safety and that will show later on.     

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Little Women, episode 6

Thoughts

The blue orchid must have some effect on those who smells it. Because why would In-Joo kill her great aunt? She was caught red handed, but we still don’t know if she killed her or not. I still don’t understand why she smelled it knowing how dangerous it is. Both In-Kyung and Hyo-Rin told her of its effects. You could also see how worried Do-Il was when he saw her with it. He must know of its effects and what it can lead to and didn’t want her to be in danger.

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Little Women, episode 5

Thoughts

I don’t trust anyone besides our Oh-sisters. I’ve begun to question Jong-Ho, because I feel like he knows too much and why does he know who Do-Ill is? I’ll keep my eyes open, but I love seeing him every time and I do hope he has nothing to do with it all. He and In-Kyung would be perfect together and I feel like she deserves someone who genuinely loves her. Then we have Do-Il played by Wi Ha-Joon. I don’t know if it’s just because of his looks that I want to trust him and my heart beats every time he moves, talks or smirks. He keeps staring at In-Joo intensively, stands close to her, touches her caringly etc. When he said they had a fling and then smirked after. UGH! Like come on, when will we see their relationship develop into something more romantic or is that just my sucker for romance?

Little Women, episode 4

Thoughts:

Little Women is emotionally damaging. I admire how In-Joo and In-Kyung fight for each other and their little sister, but I have a hard time with In-Hye. I have sympathy for her because she’s terminally ill, but she still doesn’t seem grateful. I’m excited to learn the connection between In-Hye and their dead sister. We learn from this episode that they share same decease, but why does she dream about the same awful night.

I felt extremely anxious while watching In-Joo getting beaten up, because she was begging for 100 million won for her sick sister. Risking her life, but willingly, because otherwise her sister would die. I’m glad that Do-Il came to stop her beating. But did I see a hint of concern when she begged for that woman to continue? I think I did.

I was left with one question after this episode; Why has Hwa-Young been living in Singapore under In-Joo’s name?

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Little Women, episode 3

Thoughts:

There must be more to why In-Hye treats and speaks to her sisters that way. She keeps pushing them away even when they are doing everything in their power to make her life better and successful. I can see her point in not wanting her sisters to overwork themselves for her sake, but they are doing it because they want to. They want to give her the life they didn’t have.  

I still have a tough time trusting Do-Il. I’m crossing everything I have, because I want him to turn out to be good and sincere. But he seems suspicious. Why did he ask her if she was okay when she picked up Director Shin’s phone at the car crash? He knows she has the two billion won and now wants to team up. Why isn’t he ratting her out? It seems like he knows everything.

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Little Women, episode 2

Thoughts:

I liked that In-Joo stood up to Director Shin, because it didn’t sit well with me that he called Hwa-Young a thieving bitch. We don’t know the real story but calling someone who is deceased a thieving bitch. Woah! Director Shin is definitely a creep. He harassed In-Joo and took joy in it. It was sexual harassment and then he went out and bought her the same pair of heels he did to Hwa-Young. What a terror when she was the one to find her hanging.

Let us talk about that recurring blue orchid. Director Shin is definitely scared of it and it was in his car when it drove off the parking garage. Hwa-Young also had it on her ankle. It’s suspicious.

In-Joo and Do-Il. Ugh. The sexual tension between those two is too hot to handle. I still find him suspicious. I had high hopes for him when he helped her with the investigation of Director Shin, but then he said; “Nothing in this world is more sacred than money” and I hope with all my heart that the storyline will be that she changes his opinion and ethics to not everything is about money and he doesn’t turn out to be a jerk. I also adore Jong-Ho and In-Kyung’s relationship. He’s obviously in love with her and she’s oblivious to it. In-Kyung claims she’s easily affected by people’s emotions, but not his. She listed every other emotion, but not his feelings for her. I do hope she shares the same feelings, but are afraid, because they have been friends for so long.

Little Women, episode 1

Thoughts:

I was a bit sceptic when I saw there would be a Korean adaption of Little Women written by Louisa May Alcott. My only reference is the American adaption directed by Greta Gerwig, because I have sadly not read the book. This is set-in modern-day time, which I like.

I have some thoughts about their mother. What a clueless, self-centered, and selfless mom. One who doesn’t know what her youngest daughter likes or dislikes. That she earned a scholarship to a high prestigious school. Furthermore, she decides to steal her own daughter’s money because she wants to live for herself and not for her children. They earned that money to make their youngest sister smile and not feel like an outcast, because she is poor.   

It was nice to see In-Joo having a friend. But it broke my heart when she was the one to find her dead. Her only friend committed suicide and we don’t know exactly why. I don’t believe in what Do-Il and Director Shin said. There must be more to the story. And why do they keep focusing on that exact tattoo??

Link: Love Eat Kill, episode 16

First impression:

I am glad they went with a happy ending. I would have been disappointed if they did not. But there was also some sad moments. Gye-Hoon kept apologizing for being late. With his sister, father, mother, and Da-Hyun. Bok-Hee reminded him that he saved Da-Hyun. He always looks at the negative and keeps blaming himself. I also hope Gye-Hoon’s mother will get through her sorrow. She has been through a lot, but maybe knowing what happened to her daughter and husband will help her heal. She showed promise when she said she would seek help.   

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Link: Love Eat Kill, episode 15

First impression:

I do not believe I have cried this much since The Smile Has Left Your Eyes, but wow. My rollercoaster of emotions started off with their soft and heartfelt kiss and then their breakup. It hurt more than their first breakup, because it felt real. Like this was the end to their relationship. I knew it was not because as much as Gye-Hoon wanted to ignore their link. He could not. They care and love for each other. It must be horrifying to see someone who is ready to commit murder. Especially on someone you love. That whole scene was nerve-racking to watch. I genuinely thought Gye-Hoon had killed the culprit. It was heartbreaking to see him holding her in his arms while she bled and possibly dying. He did not want to loose another one he loved and it must have killed him to see her suffer.      

I an glad that Won-Tak finally confessed to still having feelings for Min-Jo. She needed to hear it and he needed to say it out loud. But it felt like a knife to my heart when she said she did not have feelings for him. It was good she said she would consider her feelings if he came back. But I know she still has feelings for him but was not ready to admit it yet. Probably because she had just learned about his past.

[everydaykdramasstuff]

Link: Love Eat Kill, episode 14

First impression:

We know who did this and I am glad that they address killers are dressed as ordinary people. You cannot tell if they disguise it well, which makes them more dangerous. Da-Hyun still does not recognize him but can feel there is something odd about him. I am afraid when she does recognize him that he will come after her.  

We too often say we er fine when that is not the case. I believe we always can tell when someone is not okay but does not address it and act like everything is fine. Gye-Hoon can feel it because of their link which makes it harder for him because he cannot push her to tell him her feelings when she does not want too. It must pain him when he can feel her sadness.

It was terrible to see Min-Joo realize why Won-Tak never talked about his past when they were in a relationship. She cannot understand why he did not tell her, because she loved him (and still does), but Won-Tak probably thought he protected her.
