The commentary on Heirs or The Inheritors in this post has been scrubbed to avoid knee-jerk reactions and how-dare-you-prejudge-a-drama-based-on-stills outrage. Of course I didn’t scrub it to avoid debate, but more like these latest stills swing the pendulum back to hhhhmmmm-not-bad side of things. Lee Min Ho is not in any of these, whether that has any correlation I would not hazard a guess. I genuinely don’t know, and those who think the two sets of OTP stills released thus far lack chemistry but point the finger to Park Shin Hye isn’t how I saw it. I thought there was a noticeable distance not in proximity but in body language from both of them, the imperceptible way people’s body will angle where it’s engaged in an interaction. Fast forward one day and SBS dropped adorable new stills of a secondary OTP of Kang Min Hyuk and Krystal‘s characters, poor scholarship boy Yoon Chan Young and the ex-girlfriend of Lee MIn Ho’s character and spoiled rich girl with an attitude. Kang Min Hyuk is adorable personified and I’ve gotten confirmation now that he’s definitely added some manly aura to his repertoire since he did Heartstrings. His first solo stills hinted at it but seeing him in acting opposite Krystal confirmed it. I’m pretty much going to have tolerate her in this drama, none of her stills convince me she can act at all, what with the exact same pinchy faced look. We also see an alterna-ship interaction of Kim Woo Bin‘s character with Park Shin Hye, though I hesitate to use interaction since she’s sleeping on a table top for most of the stills. But he’s shooting chemistry at the camera and at her out the wazoo. If she ends up with more chemistry with him, I won’t hesitate to jump ship because Kim Woo Bin is just that awesome. And funky looking. I have grown to appreciate that. Lastly come the stills for big brother Choi Jin Hyuk, who looks like Hyun Bin in Secret Garden mashed up with Jang Dong Gun in A Gentleman’s Dignity. His look is a little too overly packaged for me but who can deny he doesn’t look damn fine here. With all this talk of chemistry and whatnot, chances are his romance with Im Joo Eun might steal the show from all the high school characters, and I would be fine with that.
This drama was apparently in talks with C-actor Ding Yu Xi before his just aired…
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…

Watch the new trailer Koala ......!
where??
Where, dear Nilechoclat, where?!
Second trailer! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfJ6_jGlS-M Quick, before it gets taken down. Hehe. :)
Thanks! That trailer is MUCH better than the first. And It looks like they are taking full advantage of the Southern Cal scenery.
Yeah, I think I might end up shipping every couple apart from the main one.
OMAGA.. Choi Jin Hyuk.. why are you so asdfghjkl.... zzzz.. gezz.. he looks awesome in his suits..
so many OTPs in Heirs.. kkk.. can't wait to watch this drama soon
Koala you have became famous in some forum. It's so funny how people r taking others opinion so seriously. Anyway, im going to watch heir and im not fan of any of the casts. I'm watching it because all of the hooplas. But, so far i'm not impressed with the stills and trailers. Somehow i've got a feeling that people r going to yell at me "why are you even bother to comment or watch or bla bla bla" . Well the truth is i don't know why. It's fun to do so.
Love your attitude. In fact, I agree with you, I'm probably going to watch a couple of episodes out of curiosity. I haven't liked any of KES's works until now, so chances of me loving this are below zero.
However, given that this drama is the talk of the town, it's quite funny to talk about it even if one has nothing to say lol
Lol koala, you have a knack of writing exactly what will start fanwars.
But i enjoy your snark, so keep doing it :-)
Yes please. But then, I am probably considered one of the haters, so I doubt my opinion counts. If your writing isn't filled with rainboes, unicorns, and basketsful of kittens, then you shouldn't write...
It's really funny, how koala is considered so critical and a hater and whatnot...did these people read ANYTHING she had to say about Chris Wen? LOL
Koala,I support you, and your site is fabulous. Hang in there!
Yeah totally agree.
You know people on other
sites are hating her just
because she said
something critical of
chemistry between actors
and they feel its harsh to
their idol.
I also love Lee Min-ho like
other fans but for me it is
refreshing to see someone
who is critical of him
The new trailer actually looks good. I can start to see the chemistry there.
still don't see it... and PSH and LMH look boring to me. More like siblings than future lovers...
Exactly! But then it can only go up, right? At least I like that they hit it off on good friendly term. I am tired of the "bickering into love" trope, so if they turn friends into lovers later, I am all for it. Just hope then if the romance will enter, they will sell it. But they have time to build on it. Finger-crossed.
yup.. they have ZERO chemistry :(
LOL :D
one thing I learned while reading your site is that now I appreciate the opposite views of people wholeheartedly...
everyone can have a different opinion about anything in general and one should just enjoy what one wants and be cool with it....I just laughed out loud at all the comment wars going on....
I just LOVE your writing and that makes me check this site every time even when my view differs from yours most of the time....that's the whole fun of it I guess!!

New Trailer
@Elina
@boob
Thank you Nilechoclat for posting the link! Yes!!! to the new trailer (*fist pump) Now, that's more like it! First time I see LMH and PSH actually smiling and interacting. I'm loving it! Officially excited!! (must dial it down..must...) Oh, what the heck, bring it on!
Lots of cracktastic dramas in October. My crack choices - MMIYD and Heirs. We will all end up totally stoned or walking zombies!
YAW @Wits :)
October the month of surprises :D
Can't say about chemistry till I watch it but I have to say I'm also looking forward to Choi Jin Hyuk and Im Soo Eun's loveline.
And the banner of AHa OTP from TK2H sure is reminding me what real combustible chemistry is!
Lol at the random white people standing like mannequins in the background.
