The Impossible Heir

I really wanted to like this, but it's so dull and I'm finding it really difficult to like or relate to any of the main characters as none of them have any redeeming features whatsoever. Could and should have been much better. I wish I hadn't started watching but I'm half way through now and feel like I need to see it through.

The main lead in particular I'm struggling to understand what his motivations are for what he is doing. The second male lead I get his motivations. As for the female lead, no chemistry with either of the male characters and is not interesting at all. The second female lead is far more watchable and a much better actress, but doesn't get nearly enough screen time.

Overall, very disappointing.

**Update**: ok, so since I originally posted this review, this show has gone up an entire different level, several levels in fact! From episode 6 onwards, my jaw almost hit the floor several times with the various twists and turns. I'm now intrigued as to how this will all play out. Glad I stuck with it!

Started this drama because of Jae wook ( he is so handsome) but the thing is this drama is kinda boring and irritating. I have tried so many times to sit through the episodes but still not finding it interesting at all. The Instagram edits of this drama are great, maybe all the good scenes are available as spoilers that's why I don't find the episodes worth watching.

The second Male lead ( In ha) is good too. But his character is so complicated ( don't know if he is loyal to his friend or not).

The female lead is so irritating ( we don't like her at all, maybe it's her character which makes her look cunning and selfish). I see no chemistry with her and the male leads ( it all seems quite forced).

The second female lead is so sassy and cool ( i actually liked her a lot ). Most of the fans wish her to be with Tae Ho ( but it's one sided love).

The storyline is complicated ( revenge --- after 5 years --- after 5 years ), so it's not fun. Actually it is a decent drama but not my cup of tea.

Who is the casting director? Why are you casting a female lead who can't act? She only has one expression on her face and that is just so annoying. Her character is a big hindrance to this show. I like the male lead. I wanted to watch this but I am dropping it because of the cliches, the boring narrative, and most especially, the poor acting from the female lead. How did she get that role? Such poor casting for the female lead. The second lead should've gotten the lead role, she is very expressive and such a good actress. I am only watching this again if the female lead gets killed in this story. Save the show please get a good actress!

Ah i am so disappointed. Both the lead actors are so great but the script is bad. The side characters are very badly written. Entire script feels disconnected. The rich chaebols look and act like they just got rich yesterday. The background score isn't going well with the storyline. The actress shouldn't even be here. She isn't needed. Humor is there only in a few scenes. That's what got me watching. But I'm disappointed beyond measure.

I really really tried to like this series because of Lee Jae Wook. But even my love has its limits.

600 words are difficult to write for this series. I wish they had a better editor and script writer. 😭

Lee wook acting is top notch....

Great to see his come back i think he is gonna slay the role. Though female actress is bit dull at her acting but i think more episode to come and performance will be better.....

Lets thrill up for what coming next... I think this is goong to be a great show to watch. I wish it goes totally insane.

We might see some friendship commitment and love life dilemma and intertwined story Portrayal. Totally up for the series and thrilled to watch the next upcoming episodde in next week.

I think this is going to be a heart shivering journey for all of us.

Let's hope for better.
