Little Women is getting a Korean adaptation. This news was enough to make us excited. Korean show makers do a good job at women-centric shows, eg. Thirty Nine, et al. Little Women, a novel written by Louisa May Alcott and published in 1968, has all the ingredients of being a great series experience. We recently got a new adaptation in 2019, directed by Greta Gerwig and is streaming on Netflix. But trust Korean show makers to add their own spin to it.

But it gets sinister when the eldest of the three played by Park Go-Eun comes across a bag of 70 billion won. The sisters will be shown fighting a rich conglomerate. Little Women Movie Review: Greta Gerwig's Adaptation is Emotional and Cleverly Crafted for Our Times With Stellar Performances by Saoirse Ronan and Florence Pugh.
Little Women written by Alcott talks about the Merchs who lose their wealth and are living in penury. Jo and Meg are the elder daughters who try to support their family. Their struggle in the novel has been to make a better living so that they aren't poor anymore. But the Korean adaptation gives it a thriller spin making even more exciting. We hope it lives upto the humongous expectation it is setting with the trailer.
