"Welcome to Won Sangah's Doll House Play"
Happy 1st anniversary to (ep 8) of Little Women 👠
The twist and the way various female relationships become plot root of the drama succesfully blew my mind last year
Trinity on Little Women
On portuguese, Little Women has title "Three Sisters". On japanese/chinese/spanish: "Sisters"
Little Women is story about "sisterhood" trinity. What called as "sisterhood" and can be various in trinity form
3 Sisters: injoo, inkyung, inhye
3 Sisters' (money) helpers: hwayoung, great aunt, sangah
3 Sisters' friends: hwayoung, mari, hyorin
3 shoes: bruno zumino, red shoes, sneakers
3 last female villains: sangah, mari, go
And it create various female relationship that become basic plot and conflict:
Family: oh sisters-great aunt, sangah-hyorin
Friendship/love: hwayoung-injoo, inhye-hyorin
Rivalry/enemy: inkyung-mari, sangah-hwayoung, sangah-oh sisters
(Those concept are base inspiration of the illustration
The one that missing from the artwork is 3 villains, simply bcs i don't know how to put them in composition 😂 and 3 shoes too
So i replace it all with flowers, which is main symbolism on series and feminism symbol)
Flower Symbolism on Little Women
Blue ghost orchid: sangah & jeongran
Princess of thieves: injoo & hwayoung
Cattleya: inkyung
Oncidium: inhye

"Because the only mirror that I will look just you - when you visit me"
A special conceptual artwork of Jin Hwayoung's alter ego, to celebrate her birthday

Happy Birthday Hwayoung-unnie 🥳
***
Metaphorically, on Little Women drama story lore, Injoo & Hwayoung are mirroring each other
But Hwayoung's mirror was broken; she splits into several alter ego
Later, the broken mirror (alter ego) is gone, and the only mirror that Hwayoung will see is just Injoo
***

2. Jin Migyeong, the bookkeeper from future
3. "Oh Injoo who live at Singapore"
4. The real Jin Hwayoung after she "killed" all of her alter egos

The Color Concept on Little Women (2022)
Part 2: Earthenspoon and Nospoon
Earthenspoon and Nospoon is refer to Injoo and Hwayoung's conversation (in Korean dialogue; in Eng sub it was changed) at 1st ep
Injoo call her social status as "Earthenspoon"
Hwayoung call herself as "No Spoon"
This Earthenspoon and Nospoon conversation even become the title of one of Little Women OST
At South Korea, there's "spoon" term to differentiate each socioeconomic classes (highest class is diamond spoon; lowest class is dirt/earthen spoon)
Those social status were shown in series through color pallete of clothes
***
Earthenspoon = Earth Colors: Injoo's main color pallete
Of course it will be hard if i am collecting all Injoo's clothes from 12 episodes, so i will give some sample only from some episodes lol
As you can see, most color of Injoo's clothes (mostly at her home country South Korea) are Earth colors:
Various shades of Brown (and little bit greenish)
Those earth colors symbolising Injoo's social status: the earthen/dirt spoon
In some special occassion, mostly if relate to Hwayoung, Injoo wears Green color more dominant:
When Injoo investigate Hwayoung's apartment
When Injoo went to auction at Singapore (and in hope could met Hwayoung)
When Injoo save Hwayoung from Sangah
The Green color probably refer to unbloomed color of Princess of Thieves: which is dominated with green color
Green also color of Robinhood, the most known legendary thief
Meanwhile at Singapore (on climax scene) and when Injoo "playing" rich, Injoo's color pallete changed from earth color into pink; which is part of color of the bloomed Princess of Thieves
It's like symbolising how the earthenspoon and unbloomed Injoo is bloomed into pink part of Princess of Thieves
***
Nospoon = Colorless: Hwayoung's main color pallete
Hwayoung's color pallete (mostly when she's at South Korea) is colorless/no color, such as: Black, White, Grey
It's symbolized how Hwayoung is not belong to everything; she is excluded from any social class (no spoon)
The color also symbolized how Hwayoung is neither good or bad (no color/colorless)
At Singapore, Hwayoung's dress color is Purple, the part of color of Princess of Thieves. On 1st episode, there's a little glimpse of purple color on Hwayoung's clothes, like indicated she's secret part of Princess of Thieves
One of Hwayoung's name meaning is Shadow of Flower. The colorless pallete probably also refer to how Hwayoung is the shadow part of the flowers:
Princess of Thieves: to Injoo
Blue Ghost Orchid: to Sangah
(See more explaination in Part 1: Princess of Thieves)
***
The Color Swapped Between Earthenspoon and Nospoon
Interestingly, there's color pallete swap between Earthenspoon's Injoo and Nospoon's Hwayoung, during great aunt's house scene
Hwayoung's color pallete become earth color (earthenspoon), while Injoo is black (nospoon)
If try to look back at some scenes on previous episodes, actually it's not first time their color pallete were swapped, and it happen on certain scenes:
Injoo's earthenspoon color pallete become nospoon color pallete, when she's with her sisters, with Hwayoung, or when she's alone
Hwayoung's nospoon color pallete changed into earthenspoon, when she's talk to public and when she's opening up to Injoo
Injoo daily life color is earth, but when she want to act though, Injoo become colorless
Hwayoung daily life color mostly colorless, but when she opened herself, Hwayoung become earth color
***
The Earthenspoon and Nospoon on Shoes Exchange
The color swapped meaning also visible on the shoes that Hwayoung and Injoo exchanged on Singapore climax scene on ep 8
On this series, shoes have meanings:
Heels = rich life, but there's danger and risk
Sneakers = simple, but comfortable life
(See more explaination on Shoes Exchange lore)
But the sneakers, that symbolized comfortable and simple life (injoo's earthenspoon), have no spoon color: black, instead of earthenspoon color
Meanwhile the heels, that symbolized rich but there's risk (hwayoung's nospoon), have earthenspoon color: earth, instead of no spoon color
It's like symbolising on how Injoo's earthenspoon and Hwayoung's nospoon, how their fate got swapped, through their ritual of shoes exchange
