I was looking forward to writing this review for well... actually, I don't quite understand myself. I can definitely state that this drama was one of those that weren't worth my time, but I felt obligated to finish it no matter what. Probably because I was told that it's one of the best Lee Min Ho and Kim Woo Bin performances of all time.
The Heirs is a perfect equivalent to the famous American TV series "Gossip Girl" if I were to describe it. It shows the ugly side of the wealthy and how, pretty much, every rich person is arrogant and evil. There were so many cheesy, cliche, cringe-worthy scenes that were absolutely absurd. Especially the very talked about American scenes and how americans are portrayed by the ridiculous stereotypes. I have to admit that the American accent in the USA + the surfer boy doing drugs scene left me speechless. I'd re-watch this drama again for a good laugh, seriously. Regarding the business and family matters, I couldn't comprehend who's screwing up who and there are still many unanswered questions in my head that left me confused. I just can't see this drama as realistic, it reminds me more of a shojo anime than a serious drama.
If you're a big fan of shows that focus on school and family relationships, you might like this one. But I feel as though this story just doesn't belong in the Korean drama world. Honestly, Americans do this genre of drama better.
