It was a movie that created a craze for the Nth time. At that time, it was not easy to get out of the lingering image after watching the movie. It felt like I was walking in fog throughout the movie, and I felt like I was in thick smoke even after the movie was over. And in my head, the song ,Jeong Hoon-hee's fog, flows down. There is no dramatic scene, but it is a movie that calmly creates a storm in my heart.

 

 

If you enjoyed watching this movie, I recommend you to watch the little women written by Jeong seo-kyung. It is available on Netflix.

Main story is Three sisters, who only have each other and never enough money, get entangled in a conspiracy involving the rich and powerful.

 

Little women

 

The drama's planning intentions are like this.

 

What are little ladies?

I wanted to write a story in which young people are the main characters.
What do they want to hear?
It's not love, it's not revenge, it's not adventure...
Isn't it about money?
There is a flood of money talk in our society.

What does the soul of such a society look like?
Where did our desire for money come from?
What did we say and dream about money again today?
I was going to write things like that.

[Little Women] is a book of souls for girls.
All girls think that they're the ones who are
I grow up thinking about which of the four sisters I am.
The sisters in the book are constantly talking about money and poverty

I wanted to bring these sisters to modern Korea.
Meg's sense of reality and vanity, Joe's sense of justice and resonance,
Amy's sense of art, her ambition
How do we get through poverty and grow?

[Little ladies] That's what I said
I didn't want to make it a small, simple story.
Underneath the little, specific stories of the sisters' lives
It's a huge dark story in our society
I wanted to let it flow at the same time.

During the course of the story,
Sisters advance and grow without stopping for a moment.
So when we're done talking, we're up high,
You will meet [little women] who have grown up.

So this story is small, but it's big,
It's a story that's both low and high.
