Netflix just dropped its official trailer for the newest kdrama entitled Little Women starring Kim Go Eun, Nam Ji Hyun, and Park Ji Hu. The drama is loosely based on the classic novel by Louisa May Alcott. This Korean adaptation will feature three sisters instead of Alcott’s four. Also, the upcoming drama will have suspense and thriller aspects to its story rather than focusing on drama and romance.
Local network TVN released the teaser poster last week in its official Instagram account. The three sisters are illustrated walking their path to a predetermined destination. The caption translates:
“Where are Kim Go-eun, Nam Ji-hyun, and Park Ji-hoo heading to?”
The uploaded trailer features mostly lines and point of view of Oh In Joo, Kim Go Eun’s character. She appears as the eldest sister to comes across a huge sum of money. Of which, Nam Ji Hyun’s character, Oh In Kyung, calls stolen money. Park Ji Hu is Oh In Hye, the youngest of the three sisters who is innately talented in art. The three sisters have a strong bond as they face hardships of poverty together. Eventually, they are thrown in the middle of a situation involving the richest family of the country.
