Wi Ha Jun is also in talks for the male lead role.

I'm sooooooo excited and yet extremely worried lol since this is one of my favorite stories ever! How will it be when transformed into a K-drama...?

I love the writer, PD, and all the girls. Park Ji-hoo was fantastic in "House of Hummingbird."

It's hard not to get all excited, but none lived up to the expectation this year, so I'll take it one episode at a time.

So Nam Ji Hyun is Jo, Kim Go Eun's Meg and Park Ji Hoo is Amy. So biggest question, who is our Laurie?

I'm here for this.

Just please stream on a platform I am subscribed too.

This is the strongest director + writer + cast assembly I've seen in a while, but given what happened with Jirisan, I'm going to temper my expectations.

I love the casting for this one but question the direction the writer seems to want to take the story. It has been about 55 years since I read LITTLE WOMEN but as I recall it was very much a coming of age story which did not involve some sort of rich versus poor conflict as a major theme. As described these three remaining sisters (one of the four sisters dies in the novel) appear to be much further along in life and two have even embarked on careers.

But maybe this could be a lesson for us who are Americans about the way in which a story which is dear to the hearts of a people can be misunderstood and even distorted by those from elsewhere. Make no mistake about this: LITTLE WOMEN is a fundamental part of our cultural heritage as Americans.

Or, more likely, the actual k-drama story will be completely different from the novel, with only a few passing or coincidental references to the original story a la JEJU ISLAND GATSBY.

In any case I will certainly give this drama a chance. At the very least it has certainly piqued my curiosity.

I'm soooo going to watch this, I'm really excited. ^^

I really like the casting and the PD!

It looks like the story is more inspired by Little Women than being an adaptation of the book.

Billing says Jo X Laurie will be endgame. And if it's so, then I will burn cities with fire!🙄

It is going to be very different from the original novel, I am sure about it. Now why, why do they have to be "facing-off against an affluent family in South Korea" (I.e. chaebols)...?
I always criticize dramas where chaebols or even just one of them spends almost the 16 episodes of a show trying to destroy the upright poor male lead or the candy female lead.... 😱
I mean, I am sure chaebols are not like that, they don't care about poor people, let alone envy them secretly or feel threatened as to spend time and money trying to destroy this person.
Most of the time poor people don't interact, won't cross paths with chaebols, because those are very different social spheres where they move.
I am always amazed by how easily you have rich and poor people interacting in dramas, which include the typical trope of a rich guy falling for a poor girl.

Anyway, too much of a comment for a show that is not there yet.
I will watch it anyways.
Let's live the fantasy.

Woah this is real?! Like everyone here, I'm apprehensive about the direction the storyline is taking here. The cast and makers are worth rooting for it though.

No. Just no. It sounds like it could make a sweet drama but why say inspired by Little Women. I loved both the novel and Greta Gerwig's adaptation. Saorise Ronaon, Florence Pugh, Timothee Chalamet were so iconic in those roles. If you're not going to make a plot even close to the storyline why invite comparison? Fighting a rich family? Ugh.

It'll probably be as loosely based on Little Women as Inspector Koo was on Killing Eve.
