Even Lee Min-ho couldn't carry this show on his incredibly talented, exhausted, typecast backside.

The breeding pair's meet cute in Hollywood was alright, but the show fell apart the minute they returned to Korea. The only time the FL worked proactively toward a concrete goal was during that first story arc. After that she was only capable of reacting to things that happened to her. Through crying.

In stark contrast to shows like Boys Over Flowers and Cinderella and the Four Princes, Heirs' poor female lead doesn't make the gradual switch from an excitable ball of infinite optimism to a damp rag. Cha Eun-Sang starts off as a damp rag and only gets sadder and damper as the show progresses. It just gets tiring over time.

Sometimes a show with weak leads are carried by funny or charming side characters. That is not the case here. The schoolkids are the usual group of identical pop idols, released from the same vat of Retinol they were brewed from and given the order to "act cute." The older actors are obviously only there to get a paycheck.

Like a lot of shows of its kind, Heirs spends a lot of time with the characters' gaudy and obnoxious family members. These meandering plotlines completely bogged down the show's very thin plot.

Don't bother.
