I think Kim Eun Seok casted well in pairing up Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin as frenemies in Heirs/The Inheritors. They are both equally as tall and honestly their mano-a-mano staredowns wouldn’t work if they weren’t equally as imposing. Tan is quiet but I like that he acts out first whenever Young Do pushes the wrong Eun Sang related buttons around him. In the preview … Continue reading →
I think Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye have better chemistry in BTS of Heirs/The Inheritors than in the drama proper. Sorry guys, but Tan and Eun Sang are just too dour when together for any chemistry to manifest itself. Tan can stare at Eun Sang all day long and grab her whenever he feels like it, but all … Continue reading →
I can say one thing about Heirs/The Inheritors, which is that it hasn’t gotten worse which is a problem that plagues most dramas as the live-shoot catches up and the writer can’t find a way to end what was a promising story. So far Heirs rather putters around in its own mediocrity still, but a few elements have livened up … Continue reading →
There is actually a very intriguing spoiler about the upcoming episode of Heirs/The Inheritors that got me excited all of a sudden. I always wanted to give Kim Eun Seok the benefit of the doubt that she mapped out her entire story far in advance and knew what she was doing. She wasn’t biting off more than she can chew, … Continue reading →
So I complimented Heirs/The Inheritors for actually having some compelling forward momentum in yesterday’s episode 9, and then episode 10 promptly returned to form and was lackluster all around again. What gives? I am so confused and not in a good way where there is too much to sort there. Everything is so linear in this drama, where people talk … Continue reading →
I don’t know if Heirs/The Inheritors needed a literal fist fight to jump start the energy levels, but it sure went a long way in doing that. There is no more intensity to milk in all the stare down your enemy if there are no further stakes? Tan is right when he says Young Do will never reveal his trump … Continue reading →
This was easily the best episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date. That’s not saying much since the first third have been so underwhelming, and truthfully getting good at episode 9 is much too late. I’m relieved since I’ve decided to stick with it, and it’s getting good in ways that I can finally connect with and get behind. This episode … Continue reading →
I haven’t talked specifically about Kang Min Hyuk of CNBlue in the currently airing drama Heirs/The Inheritors in awhile. Blame it on a combination of getting lost in the overrun cast as well as being so sane and awesome of a character there is nothing to discuss in the thoughts section of a recap. Let’s rectify it with a Min … Continue reading →
That’s it, I’m over the sliver of hope that Heirs/The Inheritors will get better. Or even having a semblance of a drama with a beating heart, all tension and material events happening and a steady forward momentum. This is what we’ve been given, and I’ve decided to stick with it but won’t hesitate to have a little more fun recapping … Continue reading →
I watch Heirs/The Inheritors and I still have no clue what it is I am supposed to be seeing. A teenage love story between a chaebol heir and a really poor girl? A high school after school special against bullying? A dysfunctional family squabble? I haven’t felt so utterly clueless watching a drama in a long time. Things happen but … Continue reading →
Wow, there sure is a lot of characters I don’t care about in Heirs in this post. Funnily enough, it’s all actors I like ranging from Choi Jin Hyuk to Im Joo Eun to Kang Ha Neul. At a certain point the drama narrative kicks in and like or not like an actor, the character is what reigns supreme at … Continue reading →
Heirs is pulling out the big guns. And by big guns, I mean the long awaited OTP kiss, which no matter how awkward or slightly inopportune narratively is always an audience lure. While the big kiss between Tan and Eun Sang won’t happen until episode 8 on Thursday, SBS is striking while the slight ratings uptick for last week’s episode … Continue reading →
There are too many characters in this drama and not enough time for all of them, so in episode 5 of Heirs/The Inheritors all of that filler material involving less important (and meaningful) story lines really begins to bog down the narrative. As previews indicated and everyone wished for, the main cast finally got back to being high school students … Continue reading →
