It’s a wrap for Heirs/The Inheritors a mere hours before the broadcast of its final episode 20. The cast and crew assembled at the set used for the interior of the Kim mansion for a group picture and it’s going to require some squinting to see everyone. I spot Bo Na, Rachel, and Young Do in the front row. Second row has Hyo Shin (hopefully a sign that he doesn’t die by the end), Secretary Yoon, Eun Sang’s mom, Ki Ae next to Ji Sook, Eun Sang and Tan flanking Chairman Daddy, Won followed by Yi Seul and Chan Young. It’s a lovely picture commemorating months of hard work which ultimately paid off – this drama is the highest priced K-drama sold this year and garnered high ratings and lots of buzz. It’s a success any way you look at it. I think the writing was half good/half bad, and the casting was also a mixed bag. Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye was the oddest coupling I’ve seen in ages. It’s not like they don’t have chemistry because they do, but it’s more like friends, or colleagues, and sometimes veering to respect, but never fully believable as two young adults attracted to each other. My gut tells me that it’s not the fault of either of them, but if one was cast then the other shouldn’t. Does that make sense?
I thought Park Shin Hye had much better chemistry with Kim Woo Bin, which was apparent from their first scene together though he was playing a turd. By the end it was something I wanted to see more of but knew it didn’t make any sense in the story. Before the drama aired, insiders were saying that Kim Tan was the best male lead ever written by Kim Eun Sook and today I stand here scratching my head going “whut” because surely those who saw the early scripts must’ve been smoking something. Tan is at most entertaining to watch when he’s being immature, otherwise he broods too much. The cast all signed personal notes to the drama which have all been collected in one picture below, so go check out if your faves wrote something interesting or have pretty neat penmanship. The final scenes of episode 20 will clearly be Eun Sang and Tan, judging from Kim Eun Sook‘s preferred ending style as well as from the fan-snapped pictures of the two of them filming today in the cold wet snow. Those two definitely deserve a vacation since they carried the bulk of the scenes. I won’t miss anything about Heirs other the routine of following along with this drama for over six months since it was announced, cast, filmed, and broadcast.
So there is a popularity award in both the film and the television sections of…

LOL@ the difference of opinions we have :)
I loved Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye's chemistry.... ;) So sweet and cute....they were the main factor for my love for Heirs...
Me too i thought their chemistry was awesome. It was one of the main things that carries the drama since the storyline is not particularly exciting. I loved heirs nonethless and am sad at its end
Hahah me tooo the drama was amazing andI loved every second of it ! I dont know what secret garden had that was better than heirs except that it was a fiction ! So when its real its not enough ! I
Lee min ho and park shin hye were great I loved everything about them especially the staring which some hated !
I really hate to say good bye cuz it means oppa will not be around for some time or he will go to the army !
Oh heirs why love me then leave me ????
We will miss Heirs, LMH and PSH... They were simply the coolest, best and adorable pairing... Thank goodness we still have Empress Ki (just loving this) and Prime Minister and I (cute)...
Their cheeks and smiling cheeks look similar. I just found out when I read this article.

Yes they are the best..lov them both..
My vote for Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang forever. I just love them and LMH & PSH are just so cute together.
Thank you for the update! I would like to share this link, about the cast and the school where most of the HS scenes were filmed. Please feel free to ask any questions you might have to the blogger.

Like that blogger said ..." I came for Lee Min Ho but I stayed for Kim Won Bin"!! :)
good point , kim won bin was the best of this drama
Totally agree Theprima, about KWB.
I only stayed for Woo Bin too.
I agreeeee, PSH has better chemistry with KWB, PSH and LMH only look good when they're being cute, not romantic, and especially not on sad scenes. Young do has it all, romantic chemistry with eunsang, oppa affection with Rachel, friendship with myungsoo and bona, hateful relationship with his father, and on-off bromance with Tan. I love Young do's hair in the photo, sleek and sharp, back to the former hairstyle, just please don't get nasty anymore
I agree with Koala. I can sense more chemistry between Lee Minho and Son Ye Jin than Park Shin Ye. Kim Woo Bin and PSY's scenes were more interesting. The story is mediocre for me.
Aww.. I think Park Shin Hye and Lee Min Ho are great together.
PSH and LMH had ZERO chemistry.I was expecting so much more in that department, but i feel nothing looking at them. Kim Woo Bin was the highlight of this drama together with Krystal and Minhyuks cuteness. Everything else should stay forgotten.
I guess they had some form of chemistry, it just wasn't the romantic/attracted-to-each-other kind, they were ok to watch when things were just cute. It's like Lee Seung-gi and Suzy in GFB all over again.
Agreed! Except Lee Seung-Gi and Suzy's was more like a oppa-dongsaeng kind of feeling. Like an older brother taking care of his younger sister.
LMH and PSH's is kind of like a we-are-friends-but-let's-just-go-out relationship.
Maybe it's the writer's fault... I never felt there was "falling in love" between them.
We are all entitled with our own opinion. But i'm obsessed with 'Heirs' and am rooting for LMH and PSH. I like the story. Even watched it 10x already. Since they won the vote for best couple of the year that means most people believed that they have chemistry. Though I also like KWB coz he's also a good actor but the rest of the cast also contributed to make this a successful kdrama. LMH and PSY deserved the award!
true..no chemistry at all.thats why they keep playing " love is the moment" everytime they togeher to make us believe they fall in love, but the real thing is nothing.
lmh did pair the best with goo hye sun. n now i really want lmh pair with yoon eun hye..n wait for the hoot kiss..i hope :))
I agree, PSH and KWB had much better chemistry, their interactions was worth enough to watching this show.
But to tell you the truth, my biggest sincere goes to the ahjummas(PSH&LMH's mothers), I just loved their acting to pieces.
Goodbye Heirs! I won't miss you!
Now I want a drama with Choi Jin Hyuk and Im Joo Eun as leads!
@Aly - yes, and also one with Kim Ji-won and Kim Woo-bin as leads.
The only good thing KES so called writer has done through this show is proving how hypocrites and somehow "brainless" viewers, namely korean ones can be. Theycan buy any garbage/rubbish as far as there is bunch of hype and "actors" they like. And sometimes the same persons say another drama is not "good". Sorry but this is the only good revelation I've got from this writer
Um no. No matter how dumb a drama may be you can not write its viewers off as 'brainless'. Please stop being so disrespectful. This drama has a fluffy plot line but it is an enjoyable watch, even ms koala herself has indicated. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, same with dramas. Just because you didn't like a drama don't go insult its fans
Yes.....you can't call others brainless just because you didn't find it good....we know Heirs has lots of flaws but we still liked it....due to various reasons....
Different folks with different strokes...simple...chill :-)
Sorry but this is not even a drama, I think the writer just made a survey just to test viewers and seriously she succeeded. Just throw a"baseless" kiss here and there just to see if the ratings will rise and bam she succeeds. Just build hype. With offensively manipulative promotion every damn second to seeif people will Buy it. And bam it works ! Don't care about the plot or write garbage storyline and use the "actors" fanbase just to see if they will check brains at the door before watching the drama or buy my storyline and dammit it works ! This appears insulting but frankly this what the writer wanted to prove. There is no other explaination. In this case I can say she perfectly succeeded.
I think you got the formula right on! Viewers are willing to watch anything with a "good looking" cast despite a bad story line.
I maybe in the minority here, but I think Heirs was an overall disappointment. There were just way to many characters, such a waste of talent. And the storyline was too redundant. I was hoping the writer would bring something new to the table. Thank goodness this will be over soon.
+1
agree
What about to the beaitiful you? Pretty man? Playful kiss?Big? All with very looking casts with popular idols/actors, i dont see them getting the high ratings and hype as heirs.
Actually, face it. Every kdrama is loaded with good looking people. I dont mind if you cant appreciate the heirs-everyone has their cup of tea, just dont go around insulting its fans
heirs became hype becoz its super huge giant promotion since 6 months before production..they said that the writer made a 'tailor made' role for LMH and other idols stuffs and so on month to month to make us waiting for them..at the end many dissapointed because its not as good as we thought before.:)
as if! ok fine MS KNOW IT ALL!
Not really, Korea loves its melos and Heirs is basically a melo in the form of a trendy. It's actually got decent side characters (completely wasted, of course), it's just that the central OTP love story and big fuss over Chairman Dad just aren't enough to carry 20 episodes no matter how many times they play Love Is The Moment.
Brainless?? Am not Korean but your comment is a bit harshed. If it's not your cup of tea, then don't watch it.
