Even as my enjoyment of Heirs/The Inheritors has been steadily increasing, I still think it’s much ado about nothing. But at least I’m having fun, which is inversely proportional to that other K-drama I am recapping which shall not be named. I said before that putting the leads into a high school setting renders everything relatively insignificant. That’s part of the fun of high school dramas, to soak in the amusing but ultimately insignificant things that happen to kids while knowing it’ll pass and there is a greater world and life ahead of them. I could see this drama as positing that Eun Sang and Tan are each other’s first loves, meaningful in a time of their life filled with great loneliness, but life reared its ugly head and they couldn’t be together. But perhaps that’s the set up for another drama, or likely a set up we’ve encountered in plenty of dramas already. Eun Sang fits the profile of a first love, while Tan could easily turn bitter and angry after losing her and he becomes Won v.2 until ten years later when he meets another girl to heal his scarred heart. But if Kim Eun Sook wants to make these two work in the present, she’s going to have to give them more to work with other than ineffectual sword stabs at Chairman Daddy. The big question at the end of episode 16 is whether Eun Sang left the country or is squirreled away somewhere in Korea but hiding from Tan. I personally would prefer her to have left and make something of herself in Buenos Aires as if sticking it to the old man that she can make lemonade out of lemons. If Tan can hold it together in the years while she is away and also become strong enough to battle his dad, then the drama can leap forward and show us the Heirs becoming the Rulers years own the road while all finding their measure of happiness. But Tan strikes me as very needy, and I doubt he’ll last long without Eun Sang. Between the two of them, she seems much more self-sufficient while he reminds me of a puppy that wouldn’t know which way to go without his beloved owner around. Wherever Eun Sang is, I’m hoping the drama also gives us more scenes of her being friends with Young Do. I find myself really enjoying those scenes a lot in the last two episodes. Check out the spoilers for episode 17 below, which are all we got this weekend since SBS didn’t show a preview for the episode after this weekend’s re-run episodes of Heirs.
Major spoilers for episode 17:
Eun Sang and her mom doesn’t go overseas, Chan Young’s dad helps them to go hide in Kangwondo which is her mom’s hometown little island. Tan searches everywhere for Eun Sang and his mom is sad for him so asks Won for help in finding Eun Sang. She learns where Eun Sang is and tells Tan, who goes off to Kangwondo to find her. I’m not sure if he brought along Young Do as his sidekick or Young Do also found Eun Sang on his own.

Heirs heirs Heirs heirs! KT & CES FIGHTING!!!
Thank you for the spoiler....
Is this boys over flowers? too much similarity, but even this is more entertaining that mirae's choice .Only if park shin hye learned to kiss.....
That spoiler does look like a plot point from BOF... wasn't there one point when Jan Di was going far away (sent away by Evil Mom, of course), and both Jun Pyo & Ji Hoo went to look for her, only Jun Pyo arrives first? Wait that was My Girl... but I'm sure it's a plausible possibility for BOF too!
It was from BOF
#spoiler
My Girl - the separation between the OTP was where she went overseas while he turn into a zombie (ngehhhh). She returned later to SK and works (be a partner? somehow i never pay attention at this part cos i was rushing fr their reunion) at the travel agency which he discovered while on his way to China for good.
I was hoping for a significant time jump cos i think it makes more sense, like the Kim Bros alr learn to hug & whatnot - and from the look of it, this is kinda brief (almost like BOF) but i guess it will do - as long as everybody sticks to the shoreline and avoid any moving vehicle from any direction - i doubt KES will throw in AMNESIA at this hour. but then again why not? hehhh
She wasn't too bad in Episode 16. It was a vast improvement over anything I've seen her in. Perhaps it's LMH's hot lips. Ha ha!
totally agree on that one!
This drama is boring
a little but . there are worst dramas this season .
Much better than Future's Choice by miles. We can root on Eun Sang easily than Na Mirae. Eun Sang knows what she wants and independent. I bet she can live without Tan and she won't trade Tan for Young Do just because she's lonely or no hope with Tan.
@zoyla
Heirs is good drama. Xcited for last 4 episodes.
worse dramas this season with low ratings = marry him if yu dare, medical top team, pretty man, godess of fire
The Heirs is not boring -_-
It's either you don't like K-Dramas
Or you don't like The Heirs itself.
Boring? haha. :3
Much better than Future's Choice by miles. We can root on Eun Sang easily than Na Mirae. Eun Sang knows what she wants and independent. I bet she can live without Tan and she won't trade Tan for Young Do just because she's lonely or no hope with Tan. I respect her as female lead.
If you want to make Tan wear ugly clothes as in this plaid overcoat, at least give him a better looking plaid... (^^) Young Do seems to have more an impeccable taste in clothing... ;))
me momma sez that if a person is strikingly good looking like LMH, no matter how hideously dressed,he will STILL look good!! LOL :D
i know right !!
he isn't the one who chooses !!!
I was hoping someone had squirreled her away in Korea; surprised it wasn't Young Do, but glad it's beastie Chan Young's dad. With that most welcome spoiler, I can look forward to ep 17. Thanks, Koala!
thanks a lot koala...we love u...nice
I would prefer a time jump wherein CES comes to Korea as big shot of a company wherein Jeguk Corp is trying so hard to get a business deal.
That what I was hoping as well. :(
I guess that not gonna happen, I really wanted the brothers to team up and than stab their dad- where he gets nothing at all.
Though there was no preview, the spoiler was better than nothing.
The spoiler somewhat eases my annoyance with Eun Sang. What is her deal, besides a tendency to cave against bullies at inopportune moments? She knows Kim Tan has trust issues, he's already fought with her about keeping things to herself, how he needs to be in the loop and he needs to know where she is to feel secure, and the first time his back is turned she takes off without any indication. Sorry, but when he was sobbing on the floor of the empty apartment I just wanted to give her a swift kick. Once again, she showed she is not on Kim Tan's side, she is on her side.
Sorry, end of lecture.
Actually, she wasn't really given a choise by Daddy Chairman. I'm guessing it was either her and her mom run away, or he sends them to some other country.
Anyways, Eun Sang, in her way, is doing that mostly for Tan. As the flash-back voice of the chairman said 'How much more will you ruin him?', she probably had to think alot about her decision.
Btw, it was kinda obvious she was gonna stay in Korean: 1) Cause Kim Tan has her passport (remember at night when he took it from her) 2) Kim Tan ripped her ticket to another contry. For me, those were obvious clues she was gonna stay in Korea ^-^
Jessica, this issue is not her choice or lack thereof, the issue is that she did not share any of this with Tan. She had at least two conversations with Bad Daddy, and he would have known nothing if he hadn't discovered the ticket. She obviously told him nothing about the conversation/decision making behind her latest stunt. Why? He already told her many times, and showed that nothing his miserable dad can do will surprise him. And unless he knows, he cannot counter-attack. She totally leaves him out of the loop, as if he is a child or cannot be trusted.
Eun Sang really should have told Kim Tan why she was going. They need a separation because Old Daddy was not going to leave them alone in that apartment. I would want Eun Sang and Kim Tan to finish high School because they are both juniors only. If their love were meant to last, seeing each other during breaks and holidays would have suffice. Most peoples' relationships do not survive long distance, especially one at this young age. I know Kim Tan is headstrong, but she really should not have done that if she does not want to hurt him. However, I do see her as being cornered, being the noble idiot, and being wounded by those hurtful words that Old Daddy has thrown in her face. Those words should be the catalyst for Eun Sang to make something of herself. She really needs to prove him wrong by becoming a person who would rise above all that to succeed in life.
The only captivating character thing in heirs is young do. I'm glad yong hwa didn't pick the role, there is no fun if it's him.
SPOT ON!!
if yonghwa picked the role, Young Do might get the girl?.?.?.?.... hahaha snark snark snark.... Nehhhhh...
