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!

I am not sure if it really deserves 10 stars or if it is only my enthusiasm, but I didn't have in a long time a TV show that would keep me dreaming about it at night and not being ale to stop it. I did not have the patience to read all the reviews but i have so many comments that I don't even know where to start. First, I consider this being such a powerful and emotional lesson for all of us, no matter the age. People should really try hard on learning how to grow up, how to express their feelings, how to laugh even though you are in a bad situation and how to get over that bad situation with dignity and more knowledge about you and about others. From my point of view, this is not only a teenage drama since a lot of people in the world are still not able to do all the mentioned above things. The TV show also shows you the power of extreme friendship, not only love power to forgive and to care, power to accept who you are and to accept others. I've seen in a comment that it is sexist because it is the well known subject of strong male character and weak female character, but guess what ? That's the reality in Korea and in other Asian countries, guys. Women have very not even half of the power and benefits of the men. Yeah, if you want to watch a SF drama with a superhero girl, just move over this title. It is not time for K dramas to adapt to the 21st century as some said below, but it's time for Asian cultures to respect women more strongly and to recognize them. Also, people said that the actors to not look like 18 year old students. Guys, really? If you watch an American TV show with teenagers you will be surprised how the 16 year old girl look like and behave in these days. Korean actors from my point of view, all look like teenagers and they are very beautiful at the same time. To conclude, even though I have a lot more to say but I think it's better to stop here, don't hesitate to watch this movie, especially if you like romantism.

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

This romantic and emotionally dramatic series is centered around a privileged private school where the hierarchy is determined by how successful and rich your father is and what you have to gain as an inheritance. The lowest students in the hierarchy are those that are there as a student in need. The students are 18 and are all struggling with first loves, friendships, career paths and family issues and "arranged fiancés". Because of the different hierarchies one school punk takes on the role bullying the less fortunate.

A welcome change for me is that the story opens in LA in the US where one famous inheritor, Tan, has been living the life of luxury in a mansion alone for 3 years already. He was thrown out of his home and banished from Korea by his family due to a harsh father and rivalry with his older brother. The brothers have always been rivalries due to Tan's mother was a mistress. Tan is handsome with an edgy bad boy look that all the California girls love, but Tan is still lonely in his heart. The love story starts here in LA when he accidentally meets a Korean girl, Cha Eun Sang, who just arrived in the US searching for her sister to surprise her for her wedding. It turns out things weren't as her sister portrayed and things went from bad to worse. Eun Sang found herself sobbing all alone on the sidewalk with no where to go, all her money stolen, no passport with Tan watching from a distance. Even though Tan is an edgy, somewhat mysterious bad boy vibe, he has a good heart and helps her by inviting her to his mansion for a place to stay and to help get her passport back. Cha Eun Sang is scared of being murdered like in a horror film but with no other choice goes with him.

Cha Eun Sang does not know who he is in Korea and does what she needs to do to get her passport back and figure out a way to get money for a ticket to get back home. Do they fall in love? Let's just say that Cha Eun Sang calls it her Midnight Dream as she needs to get home to her disabled mother who she loves and helps. Her mother is waiting for her, and as much as it hurts her, she leaves Tan for her family wondering if it was really all a dream. Tan tries everything to stop her - he doesn't really know much about her - who she is or where she lives.

The next part is when Tan returns to Korea to try and resolve his issues with his family as his loneliness had been too much too bear. Tan is still obsessed with his memories he had in the US with Cha Eun Sang and is haunted at night in his home by the back of a woman with long hair that looks just like Cha Eun Sang and he can't sleep. He asks his mother if the place is haunted. Will Tan ever see Cha Eun Sang again? Perhaps she is closer than he ever imagined.

I loved the series being exposed to this type of atmosphere in the US - I think it is very realistic - corporate structures and wars, private schools, parents "fixing" children up on dates, wearing school uniforms so all kids look the same (poor kids sans jewelry), driving nice cars. Ups and downs with friends for money or love. So what can we ALL learn from this movie? Tan reminisces about a school lesson he had in the US where he wrote his feelings on a paper and turned it in before going back to Korea. The answer to what we can learn from this movie is in the ending and it is all worth watching and makes you think what's important in life.

This one left an indelible mark on the genre. This captivating series effortlessly combines romance, drama, and a touch of melodrama to create an unforgettable viewing experience.

The stellar ensemble cast, including Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye, brings their characters to life with depth and charisma. The chemistry between the leads is palpable, drawing viewers into their emotional journey and making them invest in the unfolding relationships.

Set against a backdrop of opulence and privilege, it offers a window into the lives of the wealthy elite, complete with all the glamour and intrigue that entails. The lavish settings and fashion choices add to the allure, creating a visual feast for the audience.

While the drama incorporates some familiar tropes, it does so with a fresh and engaging approach. The narrative weaves together themes of love, friendship, and personal growth, making it a compelling watch for fans of both romance and character-driven stories.

It has earned its place in the pantheon of classic kdramas, leaving an enduring legacy due to its memorable characters, evocative storytelling, and unforgettable romantic moments. If you're in search of a series that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate audiences, this drama is a must-watch that will whisk you away into a world of romance and intrigue.
