It’s the 30th anniversary next month in November 2022 for Elle Korea and it feels like a later entry for the magazine into South Korea than expected. It started sharing and influencing fashion in the early 90’s but missed the fast growth transition years of the 80’s.

I wish this drama didn’t call itself Little Women but then again quite a few Korean dramas have used famous Western work titles and it didn’t create confusion, thinking of Pinocchio and While You Were Sleeping among others. Perhaps this is using that classic novel set up of four sisters as an inspiration, but this time its just three sisters … Continue reading →
