    This is one of my favourite dramas ever and believe me when I say I have seen quite a few..it was also my first, so slightly biased. In all fairness it is a slow start, but once you get into the thick of things it is one of those compeling, addictive dramas.I lost alot of sleep over this one..just couldn't stop watching. It is funny , dramatic(duh), has a bit of suspense and romatic. Not just romantic for romance sake, but that sweet organic, naturally occuring, out of nowhere, this is amazing kind of romance, with some heartwarming swoon worthy moments.

    The characters, at first may seem a bit tiresome, but they have this uncanny knack of growing on you, until you genuinely care for

    Recently I finally learned the meaning of the word "makjang". For those of you who are in the dark as I was, a makjang drama is one where the twists and turns are so over the top, with the hero/ine having to face so much misfortunes and betrayal, the next step is either sanctification or Dante's Inferno. I dare give the word my very personal definition: a drama is makjang, when you wish you could enter the screen and murder half of the characters with your bare hands, then ease on your couch with a sigh of intense satisfaction (drink some soju and you'll have become a makjang character yourself).

    Shining Inheritance fits both definitions. There's envy, greed, a dead man walking, 10 trillions lies, missed

  • Obviously, both dramas are about inheritances. However, what binds these two dramas together are the women who shape and mold these rich boys into men who can truly grasp the importance of the inheritance they have been given.

  • Both are dramas about people who are honest and kind, who have to cope with hardships, that they don't deserve...and do it not changing, being always the same kind and friendly people, who care about their families and friends more then about themselves...

    how did i watch both innocent man n this without noticing seung mi is chae won who plays the main role in innocent man..??
  • Mivaaa Apr 4, 2013
    This is really good and I do enjoy watching it. The main male character is so cute :D The story is cool too, but it feels like I have seen something alike (That is, Why did you come to my house, drama) the whole handicapped brother, live at someone others house, want to jump from a high place and the strained relationship in the beginning that changes for the better etc.
    But I don't complain, i did like that drama too.
    The problem in this is that it stresses you out a bit, with every problem showing up. And the stepmother and sister is driving me crazy, just want to throw something at their face. Hwans mother and sister is better closer to the end then in the beginning, so I don't mind them as much. The other male is just not good, a bit naive if you please. He know that she never liked him like that, and that they weren't in that kind of a relationship so... But he is very nice too :D

    • allyson Feb 18, 2013
      LMAO!!! My thoughts exactly :) I'm only 5 eps in, but I keep thinking how on earth am I supposed to ever want her to be with LSG and not Jun Ee!! Seems impossible.

    • genger Feb 19, 2013
      that's how I feel, because no matter how wonderful LSG is he can never be that perfect so for her to choose him she must be either stupid or blind xD coz If I ever meet a guy like JS I won't mind proposing to him myself...right away...on my knees xD but he's just so good to be true xD
    • StephStephieTeff Mar 16, 2013
      Haha when I watched this drama I straight away wanted her to be with LSG and not the other guy. It wasn't cause I was being biased either since I was new to all these actors xD

    Love the drama!
  • sunflower63 Jan 28, 2013
    I just finished watching this drama and I have to say that overall I enjoyed it although there were a little too many twists and turns in the plot. Some situations were quite unbelievable for the unlucky coincidences that happened always for the benefit of the villains in the story until the very end. I have noticed that in many Korean dramas the second leads are outstanding characters and I feel that in this instance the second lead was the best I have seen so far and definitely deserved a happy ending. The grandmother was definitely the character that particularly shined in this story.

    Aww this drama is amazing!!! Lee Seung Gi's characters always leave me speechless!! He's cute, awesome and funny and he fits in with any girl!! Examples are Shin Min Ah in 'My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho' and Han Hyo Joo in 'Shining Inheritance' This drama has stuck to me exactly like 'My Girlfriend Is A Gumiho' has!!! Seung Gi Oppa Fighting!!!

    Despite its obvious flaws, this show has stuck with me in a way that no other has. Han Hyo Joo remains my favorite actress. The soundtrack occasionally will ring in my head despite the months that've passed. This drama has a very memorable quality that I haven't found in another yet, however it's up to you to agree or disagree. This one was great.
