Get ready to laugh until your belly aches. The first official character stills from the upcoming C-drama Billion Dollar Inheritors (亿万继承人) has just been released. This was the drama that made the news in the beginning of the year for being the C-remake of last year’s hit K-drama Heirs. Turns out it’s not a remake of Heirs as this particular C-drama had been in the works even before Heirs premiered last October. Billion Dollar Heirs submitted its synopsis to SARFT for approval last June so that rather answers the remake question. That doesn’t mean C-Heirs isn’t now riding on the coattails of the success of K-Heirs, plot remake or not. It’s enough of the same pool of rich kids and their love and inheritance woes that I think it’s disingenuous not to acknowledge the inevitable K-Heirs comparison. C-Heirs isn’t doing itself any favors by literally copying the character stills from K-Heirs and doing so in a way that just looks cheap and lazy. And don’t get me started on the cast of C-Heirs consisting of comparatively unknowns young actors and actresses plus Choi Si Won. Producer Li Shao Hong acknowledges that she’s trying to incorporate the Korean directorial flair that makes its idol dramas so addicting and intends for C-Heirs to be beautiful to watch along with a story that is entertaining. It doesn’t have a high barrier to step over since K-Heirs is famous for not having any real story and still selling the heck out of it.
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,…

I dont know the other main actors apart from Siwon. I wonder if this drama will deliver?
Double wrist grab! I see the female lead is still a rag doll caught between two douchebags.
I lol so hard at that comment. Yes she is in a douchebag sandwich of wrist grab lettuce.
And also the punch scene. K-heirs is the one I watched for its ridiculousness.
Yup, that's how you know it's loyal to the source material (i.e. rife with misogyny and abusive relationships).
Yes I don't like the leads!! EXCEPT FOR CHOI SIWON <3
All I notice is Siwon in a tacky tux.
Whoa! Can we talk about those cornrows?
Siwon needs to do a K-drama and stop with all these Chinese and Taiwanese dramas.
He was amazing in King of Dramas.
Yes, he was!
Not to be racist, but is the guy in the first column third row mixed?
LOL i know, that's what I thought when I saw him! I think he is.....
I. can't. even. HAHAHAHA. Can we talk about have cringey this is?? Man, Siwon...how did you get dragged into this? I mean...this has to be for the money right?? or Increasing your Chinese fanbase? I want an SJ comeback though.
How did they make everyone so campy looking?
Ahhahha, must see!
Uhmm.. I forgot. Are they in college or high school? It's a little bit make sense if they are in college. With the business suit and all.. but if they are just highschooler.. err...
