L'héritier Interdit (2024)

It's difficult but it's worth

The expectations of this drama were very high and among many audiences. Unfortunately it's not a drama for everyone. It's not a simple drama.
The editing is perhaps the biggest problem: there are too many time jumps and flashbacks to make it easy to understand.
At first you're drawn into the fake bromance between the two MLs.
Tae Oh seems cold and calculating, In Ha is nice but problematic and Hye Won look as though butter wouldn’t melt in one’s moutht.
Gradually we discover various aspects of Tae Oh, who turns out to be tender towards HW who reminds him of his childhood and his abused mother, naive and grateful for IH's friendship.
The development of the relationship between the president and TO is very beautiful: Tae Oh begins to be noticed as an instrument and insinuating into the president the idea of ​​better management of KangOh (he clearly indicates this in the first speech he writes at the presentation of the center). The president's attraction/need continues and develops to the detriment of the relationship with his three sons, who all suffer from an inferiority complex and are (rightly) afraid of the president's growing interest in TO.
They (chairman and TO) are among the few characters (with the Hacker, the Boss, Seong Ju and Hee Joo) who have positive development.
The main actors (and I'm sorry, but HW doesn't fall into this category, because she has only 5 minutes of footage per episode) are a spectacle!
Lee Jae Wook dressed in a business outfit with rolled up sleeves is a sight that alone is worth the effort of following the drama.
He is very good at managing his facial expressions: a complete change of direction compared to the Jang Uk of alchemy of Souls. The moment he lets some feelings shine through, it's easy to become attached to his character.
There are a lot of cuts where he holds the scene alone, with the support of his voice.
Jun Young is also very captivating, especially when he plays the positive parts, in my opinion he is too excessive in showing his psycho side.
The conclusion is fair and positive: Tae Oh wins, maintaining legality (unlike In Ha) and establishes an excellent relationship with Seong Ju.
The last scene with Hye Won suggests that the fleeting relationship is now over for both of them, while the relationship with Hee Joo is open: she can be a little sister or something more with the approval of the president and her brother!

I advise? Absolutely yes!

Impossible Debt

If there's anything worse than this show, it's the entirety of what's going on. I thought I was watching some Tarantino's concept for the movie. The only main person that is worth the watch is the SFL. This whole show is hilariously bad. The fact that this is supposed to be a top tier show and it turns to doodoo over romance. Like why? We don't need this terrible romance. Just skip that part and just go to the revenge since it would have been more worth it. They literally had everything going until they made FL start a triangle. At this point, if it's going to be this bad, just go full bad and at least it'll worth to watch. Like if they went penthouse mode or world of the married mode, I'll be down.

Trolled by a Drama

*****SPOILER ALERT WITHIN****** DO NOT READ IF YOU GET UPSET BY SPOILERS*******

We all literally got trolled. What could have been one of the best series of 2024 is one of the absolute worst KDramas EVER!.

*Mostly Excellent Cast - Check; *Excellent Story Idea - Check; *Excellent Setting - Check

So what the hell went wrong? EVERYTHING!! Script, editing, directing, casting of FL.

This series is not even so bad it's good it's just bad. The FL being a newbie and terrible actress is not the reason the series fails either despite comments to the contrary. The series fails b/c the writing and directing is terrible. The motivations of the ML make no sense. There is a big WHY as to all of it. The 2ML we at least get that b/c he's the illegitimate son of the Chairman he just wanted to be acknowledged by him and the family. His motivations make a lot of sense. Then the show ends with *******SPOILER ALERT*******everyone getting everything they want except In ha. RIDICULOUS!!!

They wanted us to believe that Taeoh, In Ha and Hye Won were these great friends when we never really saw that. The show went from 10 years later to 5 years later with no supposition in between. No way for the audience to remotely believe they even liked each other besides the fact they were in scenes together that told us. No character development at all. No one to really root for b/c it was all disjointed.

Impossible de assistir

O principal problema desse dorama é que não nos importamos com nenhum personagem, no máximo com a pessoa do ator que seria aqui o Lee Jae Wook, que aparentemente é o mais conhecido devido ao megahit alquimia das almas, e o Lee Jun Young, que eu particularmente não conhecia mas é evidente que o escolheram para um pseudo bromance com o Jae wook, na minha opinião essas histórias são tudo queerbating, sabem que quem assiste são essencialmente mulheres que querem ver dois homens juntos, qualquer página que se entra ta lá o machista/misógeno criticando a protagonista feminina.

Nesse ponto nesse dorama específico vou ter que concordar com essas pessoas, a atriz é muito fraca carece de uma aulas de atuação e também não tem carisma, voltamos ao ponto inicial colocaram uma mulher insossa para as desavisadas ficarem shipando os dois homens, sabemos que devido a homofobia da sociedade não teremos atores desse cabarito fazendo Bls tão cedo, isso é o caso da Coréia porque sabemos que em Holiwood qualquer ator faria exceto os epúblicanos fãs de Trump e cia.

Mas agora voltando a essa questão inicial, NÃO NÃO ACHO QUE SEMPRE DEVA TER ROMANCE, sim essa é uma questão de biting nessas obras o roteirista sabe que ás pessoas vão perder tempo shipando e esquecer os buracos do roteiro, essa obra em vários momentos nos perguntamos mas porque esse fulano está agindo assim qual a sua motivação? e fomos respondidos óbvio que não. Trama coorporativas em sua regra já são chatas, se não tiver uma pitada de bons personagens para nos importarmos pior ainda. O Personagem de Jun Young meio perdido ali na salada do roteiro teve um fim tráfico, péssimo para os números altíssimos de suicídio na Coreia ainda tivemos esse péssimo exemplo e uma crítica a sua atuação, amigo você não está interpretando o coringa(joker) o que foi essas caretas cartunescas só porque você é o vilão? está precisando dosar um pouco melhor.

MOST 'TOXIC' KDRAMA

i just finished watching the latest released episode and there is only one word that is on my mind the entire time when i was watching this drama i.e "toxic" . Never ever have i ever encountered a drama that gave me a reality check. This drama is so good ngl it portrays real life incidents and situations hence the toxicity (in a good way) i recommend you all to watch it.

below are just some random words used in this review for me to be able to post it (i have to reach 500 word count)

THE REAL REASON WHY THIS FAILED

I know a lot of people blame the love triangle as to why this drama failed. However, I would argue that it actually loses its viewers through the storytelling rather than anything else.

The drama makes rookie mistakes when it comes to storytelling. The most vital one comes only a few minutes into the first episode, and happens twice. The 5 year skip. This was a terrible idea because it means we don’t get to see precious memories which make us care about the relationship between the leads. Had the drama actually showed us a wholesome friendship between the leads that lasted more than 1 episode, I would connect more to the events that came later. But problems between Inha and Taeho came about too early on. So when the twist that Inha was a bad guy came, I didn’t really care as much. The only thing that made me believe in this friendship, was Lee Jae Wook’s acting. LJW really stands out as an incredibly strong actor in this series. Contrasting with the female lead who made unclear choices with her acting. And this I would also blame the director for, as it is their job to guide the actors to make a clearer story.

The other thing that was a vital mistake in the storytelling, was the fact that it wasn’t specific enough. What exactly was the reason as to why Taeho and Hyewon were putting themselves through all of this. Was it power? Money? Ok, why? To do what exactly? Did he want power so he could protect his mum from his dad’s thugs? Did he want to send someone to kill his dad in prison? These things needed to be more specific so that the viewer can empathise more with the motive behind the actions that follow.

Overall, the main thing is that this drama felt too vague. The lack of specificity in relationship dynamics and character building meant that the drama couldn’t hit the beats it needed to in order to make us care. Had the relationship between Hyewon and Taeho been built more so we could have rooted for them, then when he takes drugs and allows himself to be bullied by Inju, we would be feeling more for him.

Honestly, the idea was good but executed terribly. Inha becoming a baddie could have hit so hard but instead fell flat. The only thing that saved this drama was Lee Jae Wook’s incredible acting. He made me feel for him despite not believing in the story, which is a really hard job. I have to also give props to the supporting actors, as I found their performances pretty good as well, namely Kangmoo’s.

This drama could have been great, instead it was below average.

Impossible Mix to Madness

This story had great promise once you realize early that the whole scope of the series is a game, and it is a high-level game of chess. The interesting revelation is trying to understand who the real players are verses the pawns. Revenge and takeover are the arcs of the pace of this drama which is palpable. Yet, the FL is a factor within the series that could have been left out completely and the storyline might have landed better. This would have been a better series if it concentrated more on the hunter and the hunted between the two MLs. Towards the end of the series, the episodes became a mess of 'just make it make sense' which missed entirely. So much build up in the beginning to end with such a sloppy 'resolution' was quite disappointing.
