I started watching this drama just because it showed up as a suggestion. The actors were great and you will find that most people probably watched the show because of them. The issue I had was the storyline. It was your typical high school society drama with a whole lot of issues that just kept on repeating. Poor girl meets rich guy(s) and although she sometimes has the guts to stand up to them, she lets herself be easily influenced by others around her. The guys were friends and then they were enemies and the girl was their common interest. You have your supporting actors that played either enemies or friends, then they act like friends and then enemies again. It kind of got a bit confusing keeping track of who was friend or foe with the main actors and some of the supporting cast. Their issues just kept on being almost repetitive and the ending just leaves you more confused. If they had moved on instead of focusing on the same issues it could have been a better drama.

Ok look...
I actually liked this. Ever since the beginning, I was really enjoying the drama. I think maybe part of the reason why I liked this a lot more than I thought I would was because I had the lowest possible expectations when I was going into it. I was waiting for the sh**show that plagued BOF to begin but it never did. Of course there was the classic angsty 2010 type drama in The Heirs, but it wasn’t nearly as bad as all the other stuff I’ve watched, and I really appreciated the Heirs for providing an entertaining and actually not that messy of a storyline for me to enjoy. I think the only real problem I have with the drama is that it dragged immensely towards the end, and that I couldn’t for the life of me understand how the Jeguk group drama + Kim Won’s love life ever fit into the main storyline. The weird love triangle between the Jeguk High teacher, her student, and Kim Won was barely explored, and it just felt oddly out of place the whole time. I didn’t mind it and actually thought it was pretty entertaining, but I can’t help but be a little upset at the way it ended lmao. Now, onto the characters that stole the show, because I have 2 in mind. First, Choi Young Do. I thought I grew out of my middle school bad-boy phase but I guess I didn’t, because although I hated CYD with a passion in the beginning, he absolutely stole my heart towards the end and I rooted for him the most. I was partly hoping the writer would find him a second female lead to fall in love with, but alas. Needless to say I really felt bad for him in the end and had major SLS around episode 10 and on. Second, Kim Tan’s mom. I can’t remember her name but oh my goodness was she iconic. Her sadness at being discarded and hidden away combined with her cockiness and pride as well as her mild alcoholism made her very enjoyable onscreen for me. She was definitely a beloved character, and she was imperfect in the most perfect way and I loved her for it. She definitely deserved better. Overall, I think the Heirs was an incredibly enjoyable ride as long as you don’t take it too seriously. Surprisingly I liked it a lot more than BOF even though they get compared at around the same level. Besides a weirdly inconclusive ending (it got wrapped up but it just felt off.. Idk) the heirs was a great, mindless drama. I would definitely recommend if you’re like me and feel kind of entertained by the characters’ misery (so odd because i used to hate it but i crave it these days). Happy watching!Was this review helpful to you?
1. The leads chemistry
2.The events which led rich kids fall for ordinary girl and her being attractive which gives the feelings of the guy some justice
What else to like?
3. Girls are all pretty with interesting characters and guys were all handsome with cool personalities too
4. Setting and vibe
Cons
5.having several characters in the same love story concept
Overall serves what it supposed to. Inetersting and entertaining.

Awesome plot...I just love how the story improves in every episode and leads to meaningful ending. It keeps you excited after each episode. It will make you love, laugh & cry. Really so amazing cast... Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye & Kim Woo Bin.
This is the only drama where you'll fall in love with both male love interests. I really felt sad for Kim woo bin. his role, his acting, Awesome. Lead Couple is obviously awesome. I just loved lee min ho's character. PERFECT. Park Shin Hye is very talented and according her character's circumstances I like her role. Kang ha neul's character is nice. Chan yeong and Bo na was damn cute couple. And the whole cast is Amazing.????
Music is great...and the best OST, Love is the moment, Here for you.
This is a MUST WATCH show, with great cast, great acting and full of emotion. A Gem.❤️????

Great slice of life for socioeconomic strife and love outside of "class"
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2013 South Korean drama spanning 20 episodes (60 minutes/episode). The series follows a group of rich, privileged high school students as they are about to take over their families' business empires, overcoming difficulties and growing every step of the way.The male lead, Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho), was exiled to the U.S. by his brother, Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) in a power play for control of the family business. Kim Tan falls in love with Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) while in the united states. Difficulties ensue as he is already engaged to a fellow heiress, Yoo Rachel (Kim Ji-won). Choi Young-do (Kim Woo-bin) was formerly Kim Tan's best friend and begins paying attention to Cha Eun-sang to annoy Tan but also winds up in love with her. Kim Tan has to choose between love and his "destiny" as a heir.
Spoiler ? Elements of this reminded me of a popular American television drama called "Dallas." The interplay between the haves and have nots was interesting. The romance between the leads was Cinderella like. I liked seeing the situations for all the different characters. The extremes of wealth are not easy. Being too wealthy there are very rigid expectations and being too poor you are too busy surviving to enjoy freedom. It is exaggerated a bit but I see elements of it in the culture I am most familiar with. There are schools in the United States where the wealthy kids are an echelon above everyone else. It seems to be a way people have stratified themselves throughout the course of human history. I would have rated this even higher but there were some aspects of the ending that were not finished. I like things completely and nicely wrapped up. There is some sad throughout this drama so anyone that has issues with sad elements should be aware. It ends mostly happy though.

This has all the same tropes that every other k-drama from before 2008 had. Poor girl, rich guy, problems. It was 100% a total waste of time to watch this. I love all of the cast dearly so I really had high hopes for this but it just wasn't good.First, the characters are totally bland. I'm sure the cast did the best they could with the material that was given but none of the characters felt like they had any depth or real personality of any kind.
Second, the story is cliche and overdone. Rich guy falls for poor girl. Rich guy has rich girl after him that makes poor girl miserable. Cute bad guy who wants poor girl and also hates rich guy. Same old shit.
Lastly, the music is my only positive note. I really like the songs but it's not enough to keep an entire series afloat.
This is one of those shows that are great to have on as background noise but, unfortunately, that's the extent of it.

Plot was okay, and little weirdish since you just don't sleep at strangers house just like that.
I liked how her sister was a real b****, taking her money. Acting was great, just didn't like the main actress how she was just all chill, not able to express happiness to the fullest.

There are some heartwarming scenes with the lead couple and some amazing scenes with Eun Sang and her mother it will make you cry.
Eun Sang and Kim Tan are soooo cute.
the only thing i did not like is how the two main leads would go back and forth i love you but i cant be with you then noo i love you i dont care.
BUT OVERALL YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA ITS AMAZING

The actors are all great in their profession, but i think some of them were held back from showing what they are capable of doing. Really the star of the drama was Kim Woo Bin and Kim Sung Ryung. Also the lovers Bo Na and Chan Young were cutie and humors every moment. Therefore I recommend this drama for a simple remainder that each person should be grateful for everything they have, and not envy the rich. We live in a tough world.
