The Heirs

As a person who is ethnically Korean, I was exposed to kdramas at from a very young age. I thought that was dumb (still do) but I can't help but laugh all the way through this drama. This drama is obviously one of the best unintentionally hilarious pieces of media in history. I had a blast. This drama has some of the most unenthusiastic line deliveries I've ever seen; you can obviously tell that everyone just wants to go home. The script is one of the most uninspired hunk of cliche I've ever seen. I would keep going on and on but i 'm too lazy to write the whole thing. Definitely on the top of my comedy list along with Trapped in the Closet and the Fanatic.

I rewatched the beginning episodes a few times. At the theatre when they were resting from chasers, Kim Tan turns his head toward Cha Eun Sang , then 'kills' with the line, " Do I like you? ", with a look that dares you not to like him. Can't get enough of that look. I think Lee Min Ho is at his best when he is a bit dangerous, unpredictable, as in City Hunter. In Heirs, the actors were more college age than high-school. Not sure why they the plot called for high-schoolers, but then, I'm not sure if in Korea, it is likely for a maid's daughter to be able work her way through college, But it didn't bother me with the story line. In all, this was an enjoyable movie to get to know Korean drama and Lee Min Ho. I am a new fan from New York.

The story is pretty predictable and non realistic. This evolves with a family melodrama having two mother, of course, the one and only son from mistress along with school bullying later falling both of the guy falling with love with female lead. Pretty absurd! Then two guys trying their best to get the female lead, kind of competing against each other with unnecessary dragging.

I really hate why in every K-Drama a girl has be a poor girl living from hands to mouth and a boy has to be super rich with lots of family problems.

So if you are watching a KDrama and expect it to be mind bending, without cliche's and tropes, you shouldn't be watching this. If you do like your KDramas, you should be used to tropes and clichés and enjoy the sheer beauty of watching old fashioned, sweet melodrama with familiar characters. Heirs is no different. Beautifully shot, with fantastic actors, a detailed story and characters, it is a satisfying drama that made me really enjoy my time getting to know their story. And yes, would love to see Choi Young Du get his own story!

It has nothing special to watch actually. I only watched it because Lee min ho.
