The Heirs (2013)

1. STORY
School love thing, with a "Cinderella" and a gorgeous princess. And some more people around who want to have one of the two as their own lover. Romantic? Yes it is, definitely.
But there's some real thing in this unreal drama, business vs girlfriend, will one choose girlfriend instead? And if not, why does he have to choose so?
But it needs more, I don't know, but really, it needs more to reach "good".
2. ACTING/ CAST
Park Shin Hye, Lee Min Ho, Krystal, Kim Woo Bin... Too much for a girl like me.
3. MUSIC
Great! I love the OST
5. REWATCH VALUE
Maybe I'll rewatch it, for some romantic scenes only.
6. OVERALL (SPOILERS - SORRY FOR POSTING SPOILERS)
Why Kim Tan fell for Eun Sang that easy?
Why I feel like Young Do with Eun Sang more than Kim Tan with Eun Sang?
Why in the last episode they don't make it real but just imaginations?

Na força do ódio.

Terminei de ver na força do ódio pensando 'isso talvez fique bom até o final' e não, não ficou!

A história em si poderia ser "boa" se fosse reescrita de uma forma em que a gente não sentisse nojo da história, ou seja, joga no lixo e tenta de novo. Um elenco bom e forte mas que não foram bem aproveitados em nada, é bem raro eu não gostar de nenhum drama mas esse eu só terminei na força da raiva mesmo pra dizer que pelo menos posso falar que terminei já que comecei.

Ninguém cativou, a história foi lixo, soube que uma da cena de beijo nem a atriz sabia que ia ter e foi pega de surpresa pra reação dela ser 'surpresa' o que eu não gostei nem na trama e nem de saber isso na vida real.

Enfim, pra quem quiser assistir por sua própria conta e risco, boa sorte com as cenas machistas e mais opressoras que o normal, com um filhinho de família de rica que acha que até o final tudo gira em torno dele, aaaah não gostei e boa sorte se quiser ver hahahaha

Im just so in love with the heirs and all the charectors in it. i really dont get most of the negative comments. i khow the story may not be 10 but it wasnt that bad overall. i just didnt get the reason why exactly cho young doo hated kim tan for loosing his mother cause that was a little bit ridiculaus but the rest was ok.

i also learned many things from it like if you want to reach something, some times you need to let other things go( kim tan"s brother could reach the place he wanted but at the end instead he lost the one he loved )

and the actors also did well in the drama and ofcourse the music was just so perfect.
leeminho and kim woo bin became my favorite actors after the heirs <3
i dont khow about you guys but the heirs is my most favorite drama :)))

and for the ones who say why leeminho always plays the 18th year old boy in his dramas ,he isnt! havent you see city hunter and faith and gangnam blues and... yet?! so plz dont speak
and any ways why cant he?! there are too many other actors who play an 18th year old boy like lee jong suk and...
he has a baby face so he can act like a teenager .

I knew even before watching it that it was filled cliche but since I enjoyed Boys over Flowers I thought I’ll enjoy this too. How wrong I was about that! It honestly was a terrible execution of romance and melodrama. The leads seemed way out of place and mature to play high schoolers. There was too many characters and side plots which I didn’t care less about. It seemed like the director wanted to cater for every demographic by serving every dish on one plate. The scenes featuring the family seemed to cater for the older demographic whilst the high school scenes were for the young.

The play on coincidence did not look cute to me but it could’ve been because I sensed no chemistry between the leads. It was never clear why the male lead liked the female lead, it was somewhat like he was forced by the director and he was full on stalker mode in many different scenes. Their first kiss scene was far from romantic and could be classed as sexual abuse.

The show featured pretty much every Korean drama trope one can think off. A few examples; rich boy and poor girl, awkward kisses, boy has a big family secret, the mean rich girl has unrequited love for rich boy, the second lead falls in love with lead girl and changes but of course we know that doesn’t go well at all, both leads live in the same house, family against the relationship, elite school contained of arrogant rich kids, the female lead is the only poor girl, and I could go on but I think I’ve said too much already.

I don’t know why this drama had such high ratings. I can say for sure that I will never finish this drama. But let’s end on a positive note. The OST was good and it may have helped me to watched up to the point I stopped. I recommend this for research purposes only, to study a drama featuring every trope.

A wasted opportunity

I wasn't sure about watching this drama, I'm not really a big fan of Lee Minho acting after watching him in The King but I was curious about the rest.
It started kind of interesting, despite that atrocious depiction of U.S. people in LA but I have come to expect this in k-dramas, lol

The story was filled with cliches and I was about to quit but then is like someone said... It's like a drug and although you hate it you aren't able to stop.

The main leads were pretty plain, I confess I liked Lee Minho more than in The King and I got really emotional in some scenes but those two were pretty boring. I'm sure I'll forget about them very soon.

I was rooting for Yeong-do at the end, I think he had the best character development of them all. Won was great at the end too but maybe they could have done even better. The relationship between Kim Tan and Eun Sang mom was hilarious and heartwarming and the group of friends, although many interactions were pointless and the humor didn't work most times, Bo-na and Chan Yeong were the cutest.

Overall, I expected more of everything. I wish it hadn't been so cliche, that it could have been memorable. I expected more about the power dynamics, at the end, the story with the father got really boring and it sorts of gives a happily ever after vibe that seems unrealistic.

One final point about the OST, sadly, along with The King, this is another drama where the songs don't transmit me anything.

Muito bem construído!

A história foi muito bem construída. Embora na sinopse esteja escrito que o elenco tenha os maiores atores da atualidade, só conheço o trabalho do Lee Min-ho e da Park Shin-Hye. É o meu segundo Drama com o Min-ho, o primeiro foi Boys over flowers e não teve como não comparar já que os personagens tem a mesma vibe, achei que neste ele deu tudo de si estava bem mais maduro, ele ganhou meu coração neste drama. Já a Shin-Hye eu conheci através de Pinocchio e ela já tinha meu coração kkkkk mas voltando para o drama em questão não só eles, mas todo o elenco deram um show. A história não é arrastada, os 20 episódios são muito coerentes, apenas com uma ressalva. Não entendo porque, os dramas tem mania de colocar um problema no penúltimo episódio muitas das vezes do nada, como foi no caso dessa história, que em nenhum momento veio nos preparando/mostrando que a Sra. Ji-Suk pretendia dar algum tipo de golpe. Era óbvio que ela não sairia vitoriosa e também não gostei do Won não ficar com a amada dele, sofreu a vida toda e não pôde ser completamente feliz. A OST é maravilhosa, fica na cabeça até em momentos que estamos fazendo coisas do dia a dia. O drama é o clássico clichê que a gente ama e precisa pra sofrer e rir e se apaixonar ainda mais contado de forma tão cuidadosa. Com certeza entrou para a minha lista de dramas que irei rever futuramente.
