Many thanks to the drama gods who heard my cries for actual mutual romantic action in Heirs/The Inheritors instead of staring, hang grabs, wrist pulls, silencing forced kisses, road blockage, and whatever else the writer wants to pass for romance and instead comes off mildly icky to mostly disturbing. Park Shin Hye has been getting a lot of flack for being a frightened doe or a cold fish in all her romantic moments with Lee Min Ho. That’s true and all but the writing is more to blame for letting the OTP basically forgo spending actual fun times together. Their interactions are either longing, run away-and-pursue, or trying to stay away but still going back to each other. Since this is a teen drama, let them act like teens some of the time. Use their unchecked libido and impulse control to actually relax their worries and enjoy each other’s company, then worry about the future. For all they know, Tan and Eun Sang could get the entire world’s blessing to be together, only to break up in college because she finds him too stupid and he thinks she’s too mopey. With that said, I am loving the latest stills from the drama showing a genuine close hugging moment between Tan and Eun Sang.
This is way better than the kiss stills that were all about posing, these actually convey real emotional connection between the two characters. Looks like Eun Sang hugs Tan first, which is all the better. Even if the world is going to fall on her because she dares to love Kim Tan, at least love the boy back first while she’s at it. I want her to start acting along the lines of what she said it to Rachel “if I’m going to get slapped for something, let me at least do it first.” Occasionally when Eun Sang’s spit fire spirit bubbles forth, I absolutely adore her and her tart tongue. Too bad she’s being punted around by all the rich and powerful guys in this drama. Episode 13 will revolve around Tan getting kicked out of the house while Chairman Daddy makes plans to ship Eun Sang abroad. All the while Rachel stews over the knowledge that Tan is illegitimate but Young Do warns her to keep quiet about him. I don’t know what makes me tune into Heirs like clockwork every week, but if this was Kim Eun Seok‘s master plan all along to frustrate and entice me with dribs and drabs then she has succeeded in her quest to conquer the drama watching world using flashy bling and storytelling mediocrity.

Oops, why didn't my message post...?
I said me LIKE this very very much!
I find that sometimes hugs are more emotional than kissing, specially in Jdoramas and kdramas. Jdoramas kisses are mostly .. I don't know how to call it fake or sometimes forced? and kdramas like this one use kisses as a way of dominating someone or something. Hugs are more genuine I find.
especially if it's actresses like PSH that makes kissing looks like it hurts or its a painful surprise. just hug...hug like you mean it. :)
totally agree , park shin hye needs improve her kissing scenes a lot.
the only enjoyable kiss PSH has delivered so far was the lipstick AD kiss with Jang Geun Suk. I agree that all her drama kisses look painful... ha ha ha
Finally! Love is the moment!
Lol !!!!!! U got that rite!! Lol..,
I actually hope Eun Sang goes abroad! It's always been her dream and everything.. I wouldn't mind a time leap to the future just for that to happen XD
yea if she was real life person I'd tell her to go abraoood!!! I mean they're both young anyway and can have time to worry later might as well take advantage of it :P then again if she accepts it from them chairman it'll be like he bought .. so the question is: Is Tan worth letting go of her dream?
Who wants poor Tan to become like his sad brother ? The guy that treated his girl so bad that she didnt mind getting bought by his father.
Eun Sung should go abroad on her own terms to study and not by selling out Kim Tan and proving Daddy Chairman is right about regular poor girls are beneath him, his boys.
I wouldn't mind a time leap to the future either and hopefully not 10 minutes before the end of the last episode! I would really want to see how they will interact as adults in the future. Like to see the characters really mature and come to some serious realization about what really matters most to them.
Yes, ES goes abroad on Daddy Chairman's money. Then Tan follows her abroad on his own inheritance or Mama's clothing allowance money. happy ending :-)
My wish finally came true after EP 12 ending which I thought I felt like Eun Sang run to hug Tan. Yippyyyyy !
Awww.....this is so good :)
I agree, the hug is WAY better than the kiss they share.
BTW... He's too tall for her, she had to tip-toe. Lol... (Poor Eun Sang, she have to reach up) They could at least let her grab around his waist "very tight". Lol....lol!!!
isn't better that he's too tall. imagine if KT were shorter than ES, it would be LOL big time seeing ES bending down to kiss him.
I must be going crazy. I wanted to cry at the sight of these pictures. Lol.
I'm just so happy that we get something else, as you Koala mentioned, other than the staring and wrist-pulls. These pictures are so touching I love them -alot-. I guess you can say that I really wanted Eun Sang to embrace Tan since he was crying and displaying his weakness in front of her and my wish came true. Couldn't have been more satisfied :)
Wrist-pulling gets on my nerves as well.
Lol....
Finally. Was starting to go crazy.
And this is just how I wanted ES to react after ep 12 ended....wow...
