Its fate to not be able to present the proper character developments for its huge young cast is inescapable. So, ending with a closure without forcing “years after ending” and just focusing on the main characters’ yearnings and pains being answered and emancipated has made this youth tale a sweet watch. There’s really not much room for the story to develop and for the characters to be loved fully. It was even a tough tale to begin with, considering the rich boy-poor girl love milieu. It started slow, got addictive in the middling part and closed safely in the ending.

Ultimately, making their young romance special.Ĭhallenging the fluid story with big castīearing the weight of the most highly anticipated drama in 2013, the big cast of The Heirs barely managed to get the stories and interactions among the rest of the characters in full swing, whilst trying to support the romance plot brewed the moment the show kicked in. But showing their tenacity beyond their years, they defied what needed to be overcome for their love to carry on. I saw Kim Tan battled the odds and Eun-sang responding most of the time in her half-hearted i-love-you-too. That one party can’t bear the love for both of them to work as love requires compromise and mutual decision to be with one another. Kim Tan’s angsty this-is-a-cruel-rich-life sessions wallowing in tears and pain because his money can’t make him be with his indecisive first love was a reminder of how love is meant for both parties to work on to be together. The Heirs Peak Points Kim Tan’s One Great Love In the end, they survive the pressure and sustain their love after defying the rich father, the rich third parties as well as the hesitations and fears. But the final test of their love emerged when Tan’s father imposed to stop the relationship they can’t afford to be have. They constantly engage in brawls and bickering because of her.Įventually, Eun-sang opens her heart to Kim Tan’s genuine love throwing away the insecurities and apprehensions bugging her. To complicate the already you-and-me-against-your-rich-family’s-love-story, Kim Tan’s former best friend turned frenemy Choi Young-do (Kim Woo Bin) also fell in love with Eun-sang. Just as he was settling in, fate gifts him a reunion with Eun-sang who was living in their house as their servant’s daughter. Their quick summer interlude slowly build to a blossoming fondness that made Kim Tan chose to confront his brother and halt his banishment by returning to South Korea. Meekly living abroad and following his brother’s desire, he finds a turning point in his life when he met poor girl Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin Hye), who was visiting her sister abroad. He also has a bride-to-be that was arranged for him to help their company grow even bigger and a brother who exiled him in fear of his own position as the first heir. He has a biological mom he can’t be open to the public because it would sacrifice his position as an heir/major stockholder in his father’s company. Heir to a huge business conglomerate, Kim Tan ( Lee Min Ho) has lived a luxurious and lonely life.

The extent of how affecting Lee Min Ho‘s melting gazes and suave moves is something that us girls can’t explain and would rather not complain about. Re-writing my thoughts seven years after about The Heirs, has had me a taste of different perspective in this youth series.
