Whether it is in Korean dramas, Korean movies, or news about South Korea, there is a word we must be familiar with - "Korean chaebol".
In the 1960s, the United States provided a large amount of material assistance to South Korea.
Some South Korean businessmen who have close ties to officials took out the materials provided by the United States to sell them. After winning profits, they also invested heavily in domestic industry and commerce.
has received two waves of dividends from the US aid and domestic support. South Korea's "valve generation" was formed and deeply rooted in South Korea.
Nowadays, these chaebol families control more than 70% of GDP in South Korea.
The history of the chaebol's fortune is also the bloody and tears of the Korean people. According to media surveys, 13 of the 30 large chaebols in South Korea have crimes such as bribery, fraud, and other crimes.
Some Korean female celebrities who committed suicide, such as Zhang Ziyan , also exposed the horrific sex scandal of the Korean chaebol in their suicide note.
In Korean film and television works, the chaebol forces often make their debut as big villains.
For example, " Top Floor ", " Heirs ", " Prisoner Doctor ", " Veteran ", "The Man in the Game", etc. Korean dramas and Korean movies, once it involves revealing social reality, the Korean chaebol will inevitably be pulled out and whipped.
But as a historical problem, Koreans know what the problem is, but they are unable to change it.
In the past two days, Pi Ge has another cool drama in which the heroine declared war on the chaebols to revenge . It doesn’t keep it a secret. It’s this " Little Ladies ".
lineup is so strong that people can lick the screen: Kim Go-eun , Nam Ji-hyun , Park Ji-hoo .

Douban scored 9 points, and was even rated as 022 "The Yearly Drama".
was urged to update the entire network because it was too slow to update.
Today, Pi Ge will show you how this drama stands out among a number of high-quality Korean dramas.
1,
Dad is in debt, my mother runs away with money, three sisters who lack money and love, have experienced the hardships of the world
The entry point of "Little Ladies" is very unique , has only one word: money .
The whole drama is based on "money", and the character and formation of the three sisters in the protagonist of are also related to money.
The eldest sister Wu In-joo (played by Kim Go-eun), the second sister Wu In-kyung (played by Nam Ji-hyun), and the younger sister Wu In-hye (played by Park Ji-hoo), the three have lived in a very poor family since childhood.
It’s not that my parents have worked hard, but efforts seem to be futile.
In the early years, my father was cheated of for pyramid schemes and huge assets , and then owed a lot of debts for gambling .
I wanted to invest and start a business and make a comeback, but I didn't expect to lose money and finally wanted to make a fortune in the stock market. The result is conceivable.
All these debts were left to the two working daughters , who had paid them back for four years.
It’s fine to be poor, but the three sisters hardly enjoyed the love of their parents.
Father will not talk about it, my mother only has money in her eyes .
The younger sister Wu Renhui had excellent academic performance and received a scholarship with her excellent painting ability. She was admitted to the first-class art school in Korea. However, her mother always thought that her daughter was admitted to the 6 quota for special hardship students 1.
Two sisters see that their sister is pitiful, saved 2.5 million won, wants her sister to complete her dream European study trip .
As a result, the money was taken out, and the mother intercepted it.
In order to prevent the daughter from discovering, the mother got up in the middle of the night, dressed up, and then quietly ran away from home with the money , leaving only a text message to her three daughters.
Even my daughter’s money is greedy, which shows the selfishness of my mother.
even more unexpectedly, after .5 million won was ruthlessly robbed by his mother, the three of them had a nightmare about "money", and had just begun.
First look at the eldest sister Wu Renzhu . She is an accountant in a big company, but in the company, she is a real marginal person in .
She was born in a poor family, has no background in a prestigious school, no social relationships , and she can't find a brand of goods on her body.
The purpose has been planned before the monthly salary is paid.
Rental expenses, property water and electricity, younger sister goes to school, household subsidies ... The elder sister is like a mother, Wu Renzhu lives a very hard life.
In order to help the little sister fulfill her dream of studying, she could only find a supervisor who was not in opposition to her and go to to advance the salary of next month.
As a result, the salary was not received, and he was mocked and humiliated by in public.
The fact that she lacks money has become a joke and topic for her colleagues after dinner.
The only thing she has a good relationship with is Ha Ying (played by Qiu Xia Hyun) .
Hua Yingren is beautiful . She likes orchids. Although she is engaged in accounting, she also understands computer technology and English. She usually has a good relationship with her elder sister. She is a good friend of who talks about .
In the end, Hua Ying lent her the 1.25 million won.
Second sister Wu Renjing is not doing well.
She is a reporter , but she can't control her emotions well. In the news broadcast, it is very easy to empathize with the parties involved , so she is often taught by the editor-in-chief "no professional qualities" .
Because of the stress, my second sister got into a bad habit of her father and she began to drink heavily.
There is a bottle of mouthwash in her bag. When she is free, she will take it out as wine. Take two sips of to relieve stress and relieve emotions.
What's so bad is that in an interview with Seoul politician , she was targeted by politicians because of her sharp problems.
When communicating after the meeting, in front of the camera, the politician directly pointed out her alcoholism problem .
This matter was seen by Green tea colleague . When she returned to the unit, she directly brought alcohol detector and stuffed it into her second sister's mouth.
Also found in her drawer A lot of Agave .
In front of my colleague, my second sister was suspended for one month and wanted to raise money for her sister, which was even more fantasy.
Little sister Wu Renhui lives more depressingly.
Wu Renhui originally had excellent painting talent, but because of her family, she could only accompany the rich second-generation classmate to draw in exchange for a meager "car fee".
Children from poor families are sensible early, The little sister couldn't bear to see the two sisters working hard to realize their wishes.
so she took the initiative to draw for Rich second generation , and asked her to participate in the competition and get an international award in exchange for her parents' bargaining chips to support her study abroad.
Now, after the mother ran away with money, the lives of the three sisters have fallen into a deeper quagmire.
No matter how hard you struggle, is futile that cannot break through class barriers, and also reflects the hardships of life and the dilemma of survival for the people at the bottom.

Best friend died unexpectedly. The three sisters made 70 billion overnight. Can they change their fate against the will of heaven? Who is behind the "Death Orchid"?
Regarding poverty, the two colleagues of the eldest sister and the second sister seem to reveal the secret in one sentence .
always excluded the group leader of the eldest sister and told her without hesitation:
"We are not excluding her, we are just in a different world."
Yes, her colleagues are either graduated from a prestigious school or prominent family . It is better to say that they are coming to find a job instead of coming to work.
For them, work is just a pastime, but for the elder sister, this job is the only life-saving straw for .
Second sister's green tea colleague , after the second sister messed up the news, she said angrily:
"Do you have a poor family? Because you are too stubborn."
Yes, Rich people can be above the ground, accusing anyone who is not rich, , tell them the reason why they are so poor.
And this kind of contempt and arrogance towards the underlying layer is the little thing that all poor people most dislike the rich people .
Sometimes, becomes rich, isn’t it just luck?
You can’t say that the first three sisters are, and the later they are as happy as they get rich, because this dream is realized in one day.
When my elder sister was having dinner with her friend Hua Ying, she found something wrong with Hua Ying .
Although she told herself that this was the first time she went to a high-end restaurant , she seemed to be very familiar with the waiter here.
Her Her Her , but in front of her elder sister, she just said lightly that they are all High imitation .
One day, Huaying suddenly disappeared .
An anxious elder sister went to her rental house to look for it. As soon as she entered the door, she saw piled up into mountains of , and luxury goods that had not been unpacked.
In the dim hut, the elder sister fed the fish for Huaying, and suddenly found that something was wrong with the wardrobe .
went up to check, and the eldest sister's courage was almost scared: Hua Ying hanged herself in the closet and committed suicide .
s her naked , wearing only a precious fur, wearing stockings , and wearing with her feet A pair of bright red high heels , in the dark wardrobe, it looks particularly eye-catching. After
reported the alarm, my elder sister learned that Hua Ying had been secretly transferring the company's assets in , and had embezzled as much as 70 billion won.
This is Astronomical , but she never dreamed that such money will be related to herself one day .
After Hua Ying passed away, she transferred the VIP card of her own gym to her elder sister .
One day after get off work, the eldest sister was idle and was ready to go to the gym to practice yoga. The moment she opened the locker , she was stunned again: there was a pack of cash in the cabinet, and has 2 billion won (about 10 million yuan) .
And this is the "Death Gift" left to her best friend.
My sister has never seen so much money. The first time she got the money, she didn't know how to spend .
I am used to poor life. My elder sister who has huge wealth can think of the most luxurious thing about . She is to go to the supermarket to buy a pack of the most expensive ice cream.
Then go to the cosmetics store and put all colors of lip gloss round .
money is not my own after all, and my elder sister is also a little guilty when spending it. At the same time, company also launched an investigation into Huaying .
The boss swears that he must to find the 70 billion won .
Because my elder sister has a good relationship with Hua Ying, under the persuasion of the boss, my elder sister also joined the investigation team.
As the investigation deepened, the eldest sister found that the boss of Director Shen seemed to be the biggest mastermind behind the scenes.
Because she found out, Hua Ying had written a letter to before she died, and reported to Director Shen .
Before Hua Ying, an accountant named Liang from , and also cooperated with Director Shen.
What's strange is that she also committed suicide in her wardrobe . Even her way of death and dressing are exactly the same as Hua Ying.
The eldest sister reacted Hua Ying might not have "successfully" , so she hurriedly confronted Director Shen, but before she finished speaking, Director Shen drove the car, fell from the building and died . The clue of
has since been cut off. The elder sister, who holds 2 billion won and has a 70 billion won account, has never known that what she is fighting against is actually a large consortium , which is extremely terrible. Although the true face of the consortium has not appeared yet, its logo, , is metaphorized as a blue orchid, .
This flower has appeared in various murderous occasions. When Hua Ying hangs, she , and had such an orchid tattooed on her ankle.
Huaying also has such an orchid in her room.
Director Shen was so scared that he retreated repeatedly when he saw this orchid.
When he died, the same orchids floated on the front of the car.
, and , who is running for the mayor of Seoul, Park Jae-sang , also has the logo of an orchid on his chest.
What's even more outrageous is that this orchid has also appeared in the lives of the second sister and the younger sister.
The story line of the three sisters will be reunited because of this orchid.
When I was the eldest sister, I received the pair of red high heels representing death . The war between the three sisters and the chaebol has just begun.
3,
3, three sisters represent the ugly side of the three kinds of women in reality, the Korean chaebol control.
Some viewers say that Korean dramas are Korean dramas, but in the end they fell into the cliché of "get rich overnight".
In fact, if you watch a few more episodes, you may not think so again.
Although it is a war between , the sister group and the chaebols, "Little Ladies" provides a valuable female perspective.
Have you noticed that The three sisters of the Wu family actually represent the "three attitudes" of three women in reality, towards money and desire.
The eldest sister Wu Renzhu is a "nova" type.
She likes money, and of course she also likes the pleasure brought by consumption.
But she suddenly got huge wealth and did not take away the human characteristics accumulated by "poverty".
A poor man, no matter how much wealth he suddenly gets, will still show his fear .
Follow your best friend to have a Western meal, for fear that others will find that they are not the "coming often" .
wore a national limited edition three pairs of diamond-inlaid high heels, for fear of being broken.
Carrying a big bag of money, knowing to buy a new piece of clothing, or even buying a suitcase.
is so incompatible with the crowd. It is both the reality of poverty and the reality of poverty.
The younger sister Wu Renhui is a "tempered to the scent of the body".
The little sister is the most talented and loved among the three sisters. Although she has no money, she has talent and artistic cells, and is very good at painting.
The little girl knew that used her own "crafts" to make money . At first, she made money, but later directly drew on her strokes and , making herself an indispensable part of the politician .
When she was having dinner with her family, she was so out of place and temperament, but she knew that As long as she hugs this thigh tightly, She can study abroad, make money, and reach the peak of her life.
My little sister has a completely result-oriented attitude towards money. As for the process, she doesn't care.
Poverty has changed her personality. Compared to her noble character, she cares more about how to live richly.
The worst among the three sisters is the second sister Wu Renjing, who is also the most like us ordinary people.
She doesn’t have the luck of her elder sister and the ability of her younger sister, so she can only rely on herself to climb up step by step.
Green Tea colleagues blocked the way, and then a ruthless boss broke up . There was also a disobedient young girl in the middle to take care of. The second sister's life seemed to have entered too early and was in a stormy middle-aged .
But in terms of money, Second sister is the most positive .
I learned that my elder sister’s money was unknown, so she refused and even wanted to report it.
learned that her younger sister was in the rich man's house, and she was drunk and climbed up the street lights and wanted to bring her younger sister back.
A family of three, three different perspectives.
Pige is very curious about what kind of sparks will be created when these three perspectives meet at the same time.
Looking deeper, whether it is orchids, death or questioning, the deep kernel of "Little Ladies" and are still the dark side of society controlled by Korean chaebols.
Social power, resources and wealth are in the hands of a few people. The accumulation of individual difficulties one by one, the upward channel of struggle and the hardships of life have gradually become common social problems.
When these problems appear one by one, the energy that bursts out is unimaginable.
Behind almost every Korean drama, social problems are reflected.
"Juvenile Court" or " Squid Game " or , the thrilling and suspense cloak are removed, and the final point of these problems are also the ones.
Korean dramas are worth learning from in terms of kernel depth.
However, the social problems in South Korea are chronic diseases, and the disease lies in the bone marrow, where the life belongs, and there is nothing to do.
The drama has been updated for 6 episodes. We will wait and see where the young ladies and the chaebols behind the scenes will go.
