What a disappointment!
“The Heirs” is the most disappointing series I have ever watched. There are only a few series as bad as this one. Not only is the plot bland, but it is sexist, rude, and offensive.
“The Heirs” is one of the most popular kramas. Along with “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?”, “Descendants of the Sun,” and “I am not a Robot,” “The Heirs” can be found in most of the highest-ranking Korean series on any website. Therefore, I was eager to watch it. Besides, the protagonists were Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye (both amazing actors), so the expectations were even higher. You can’t imagine my disillusion.
The series is about the relationship between a rich high school boy and the daughter of his domestic worker. The plot doesn’t look that bad so far, even though I’m not the biggest fan of this story. However, it reminded me of “Well Intended Love” (the worst series I have watched by far, even ).
Overall, I don’t understand the hype. I know that the cast is impressive. I’ll acknowledge that. However, apart from the cast, there’s nothing saveable on “The Heirs.” Its popularity makes not watching “The Heirs” nearly impossible. I know that. Nevertheless, I can assure you that you aren’t missing anything. 100% not recommendable.
Synopsis
The series follows a group of wealthy, privileged high school students as they are about to take over their families’ business empires, overcoming difficulties and growing every step of the way.
Kim Tan is a wealthy heir to a large Korean conglomerate called Jeguk Group. He was exiled to the U.S. by his half-brother Kim Won, who tries to take control of the family business. While in the States, he meets Cha Eun-sang, who went there to look for her sister. Despite being engaged to Yoo Rachel, a fellow heiress, Kim Tan soon falls in love with Eun-sang. When Kim Tan returns to Korea, his former best friend turned enemy Choi Young-do begins picking on Eun-sang to irritate Tan. Tension ensues when Young-do also falls in love with Eun-sang, and Kim Tan is forced to choose between his responsibility of pursuing the family business or love. ~ Wikipedia
