You know that existential crisis moment when you’re reading a book and land on a sentence and find yourself reading it over and over again because suddenly words don’t compute? That is usually a signal to put that book down and take a break because the synapses are momentarily overloaded. I worried that moment was barreling towards me with respect … Continue reading →
Oh heck yeah! Just as I was ready to put all the Heirs or The Inheritors promotional materials behind me as generally a big ole disappointment (with only 1 or 2 standout stills and teaser), the drama upped and surprised me today. I don’t know if the brain trust at SBS was saving the best for last or finally got their act … Continue reading →
It’s so close I can actually smell it now. The scent of various fangirl groups converging on one drama that brings all their favorites together under one roof. One ring to rule them all? I say one K-drama to rule them all, until of course the drama turns out to be sorely lacking and then watch the finger-pointing histrionics start. … Continue reading →
It’s pretty easy to figure out which K-dramas I’m interested in or excited about but there are lots more K-drama fishes in the pond then the ones I care to cover. For companies worldwide the fourth and final quarter of the year has started and it’s time to put the pedal to the metal and bring home the win. For … Continue reading →
The countdown to the premiere of Heirs or The Inheritors has gone from months to weeks and now to mere days. Despite the even-larger-than-usual sprawling cast, this drama is still anchored by the two leads Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye if I look at the overwhelming number of official stills released of both of them individually or together. … Continue reading →
The release of the third preview teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors helps us take a break from the overload of character stills from the drama. This is the most substantive teaser to date and really showcases what to expect. The possibility that Heirs would be a hot mess was bandied about mostly because of how derivative the set up … Continue reading →
Wouldn’t Kang Min Hyuk look adorable in a Superman costume? I only suggest this because from the look of things in Heirs, he might have just come to the rescue of a highly anticipated K-drama that has been releasing a succession of pretty on picture but dead with emotion stills. The first pictures are out of Kang Min Hyuk and … Continue reading →
We’re T-minus 7 full days before the premiere of the highly anticipated Heirs or The Inheritors, and I am finally reaching saturation point. I know plenty of folks have long been tired from the endless casting, preparation, production, and now promotion of this drama, but strangely I hadn’t been until now. Who knows why the switched flipped but I kinda … Continue reading →
Here’s come more Lee Min Ho in Heirs! Honestly, the promotional deluge from The Inheritors has been nothing short of exhausting, though I’m hardly blaming anyone since I choose to follow along gamely. I suppose one can look at it from another angle and argue that the promotion has been on point so far considering that Heirs has got double … Continue reading →
Taking each release of stills from Heirs or The Inheritors one at a time, this is far and away the best pictures of Lee Min Ho as Kim Tan that I’ve seen. He looks relaxed, comfortable, engaged and alert, and most importantly, he’s connecting with his surfboard. It would be hilarious if Lee Min Ho has more chemistry with his … Continue reading →
In the spectrum of good, better, best, the second teaser for Heirs or The Inheritors lands squarely in good. It’s better than the first one, but that one didn’t even make it to a decent and interesting level. This one has talking and every one of the leads makes a twirl (except for Im Joo Eun, who I decree simply … Continue reading →
The commentary on Heirs or The Inheritors in this post has been scrubbed to avoid knee-jerk reactions and how-dare-you-prejudge-a-drama-based-on-stills outrage. Of course I didn’t scrub it to avoid debate, but more like these latest stills swing the pendulum back to hhhhmmmm-not-bad side of things. Lee Min Ho is not in any of these, whether that has any correlation I would not … Continue reading →
I hope my opinion doesn’t ignite a firestorm but if it does then at least good old-fashioned debate still exists even for something as inane and inconsequential as Korean dramas. Heirs or The Inheritors has already released first stills of Park Shin Hye‘s Cha Eun Sang and Lee Min Ho‘s Kim Tan first meeting. Apparently it takes place in Los … Continue reading →
