Good gracious who picks Lee Min Ho‘s outfits in Heirs/The Inheritors? It’s been mostly a non-stop fail party since episode 1 with the only decent one being his school uniform. He gets the most screen time as the male lead, and so does his consistently headscratching outfits that range from down right fugly to perplexing. This one for the upcoming poignant … Continue reading →
LOL forever, what new fanservice weed is Kim Eun Sook smoking this week? Did she mistake Kim Woo Bin for his character in Friends 2 and decided to merge his currently top grossing movie with his currently highest rated Wed-Thurs drama? The new stills are out for tomorrow’s episode of Heirs/The Inheritors and looks like Young Do has magically turned … Continue reading →
I love how predictable yet increasingly satisfying Heirs/The Inheritors has been. This includes SBS releasing the preview for next week’s episodes on the Saturday re-runs of the previous week’s episodes. Thanks for breaking up the monotony of the weight and adding little nuggets to chew over. Next week is right on cue for a Kim Eun Sook drama, which is … Continue reading →
Heirs/The Inheritors is on a ratings tear this week. While episode 13 did a monster ratings leap past 20% on AGB, episode 14 continued the climb by breaking 22% while leaving its competitors Pretty Boy (6.1%) and Medical Top Team (6.0%) to battle it out for second place. It might even break 25% next week, apparently the ratings surged past … Continue reading →
I breathed a sigh of relief that the fantastic episode 13 of Heirs/The Inheritors did not result in one step forward and two steps back in episode 14. It wasn’t nearly as light and funny as episode 13 felt like a reprieve and time to savor the moment a bit, but all the characters took giant definitive steps forward and … Continue reading →
Oh Kim Eun Sook. Why you be taking my praise for episode 13 of Heirs/The Inheritors and immediately photo-bombing me with evidence that you’re about to lift a major OTP scene from Secret Garden and plop it right into this drama? Even worse is that I think I’ll end up liking it. Sigh, so torn between my brain that tells … Continue reading →
Wowsers, what a difference a week and a drama can make. This development definitely deserves a post of its own. With Secret ending last week and the arrival of Pretty Boy (Bel Ami), the ratings was up for grabs today and Heirs/The Inheritors made out like a bandit. The drama started off around 10% in ratings and was increasingly little … Continue reading →
Best episode of Heirs/The Inheritors EVER! I can’t believe I stuck to this drama for 13-episodes, itself quite a feat of endurance, and am finally rewarded with an action-packed episode that was funny and fast-paced. I’m not kidding, this episode had me laughing out loud so many times I lost count. Stuff happens all over the place in each of … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
I’m happy to be enjoying Heirs/The Inheritors with no expectations of quality or consistency. After a rather unexpected solid episode 12, I didn’t dare to hope episode 13 would take the narrative further. If Tan outed his own bastard status, he’s clearly trying to upend the entire chess game of his life, but would the drama tell us that the … Continue reading →
This was the most substantive episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. It also helped immensely that the protracted staring was kept to a minimum, though sadly there was no commensurate improvement on the kissing front. This was the first time that I saw a smidge of character development on all major fronts, and even if it took 12 episodes that’s … Continue reading →
Looks like there is more kissy kissy time ahead for the OTP in Heirs/The Inheritors. I wished I cared more but it’s hard to care when Tan pretty much forces his will on Eun Sang. Even if she maybe likes it, I’m not a fan of the method of taking under the assumption that the other person is willing to … Continue reading →
I feel like watching Heirs is like playing a game of musical chairs or duck-duck-goose, the entire narrative keeps going in circles and chases that have no exit. One thing teen dramas is supposed to have is a surfeit of fun. Because they are young and aren’t tied to adult and real world problems and consequences yet, the narrative allows … Continue reading →
