K-drama classic
The description is one thing, but what happens after Tan comes to his family home and re-enters high school's walls is a total social avalanche & disruption. There was planty of secondary characters and my favourite are Lee Bo-Na and Choi Young-Do. I like how she evolved from spoiled CEO daughter to Eun Sang almost friend. While Choi Young-Do got me with his character change when he is with Eun Sang. The combination of his frustration and short-temper took a big role in harassing others but with her he is a teddy bear. His father, Choi Dong-wook is mercilessly strict and physically abusive towards him. Choi Young-Dois a complicated character who fights with whole world throughout the drama. It is interesting to watch him change.I went into this drama without big expectations and what I imagined - I got. It is a good drama with good actors that are on screens till now. I give it 6/10.... or maybe I could strech it to 6,5/10 because plot wasn't too complicated and I liked how the characters were diversed.

Definitely worth a watch.
It took me a second try to watch this as with the first attempt I stopped halfway through the first episode. Lee Min Ho's character Kim Tan has a friend in America which was acted just waaaaay too over the top but he's only in it for the first 4 episodes thank the gods. Besides that I did like everything else so I retried it and I definitely do not regret it.It was well paced, the ending was nice and long (I hate endings where the couple gets together within the last 10 minutes and then we only have a little time to wrap everything up) and definitely a very fluffy ending. Lee Min Ho did amazing as Kim Tan, Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun Sang was gorgeous, Kim Woo Bin as Choi Yeong Do was the perfect bully turned good guy I have ever seen (and was perfect with second lead syndrome) and Park Hyung Shik was adorable as always. The rest of the cast was amazing as well. They all had amazing chemistry together and you could tell that they definitely had fun while filming. I will most definitely be rewatching this in the future.

The Heirs Review
Korean Cinderella.It's like Boys Over Flowers 2.0-you got that 1 poor girl surrounded by many, many rich people in a school exclusive for the rich. (And Lee Min Ho)
Has a notable cast. When I watch a drama, I usually only find 2-4 people interesting but here I even found the main casts' parents interesting. Woo Bin was a fresh second lead.
"Love Is The Moment" and Lee Hong Ki's "I'm Saying" were nice OSTs.
『 Why I liked it: Park Shin Hye / second lead syndrome / strong cast 』

one gems of Korean drama regretted not to watch earlier but late is better than never. love the whole concept all character have problem to not come out from their shell and pretend something they don't want or not they are. i like the every those moments where people say "i hate you" which is meaning for them " i love you or i hate to love you " because they want to satisfy their ego than their feelings CHARACTERS
Choi Yeong Do always know that its his fault but don't want to admit it and broke with kim tan his best friend
kim won always love kim tan as little brother but can't swallow the fact that he is his half brother he always avoid him in fear of not fall in with innocent kim tan to satisfy his anger/ego
kim tan always try to knock his brother heart and even ready get anger in return . kim tan behave like innocent child in front of his brother but for other he matured man enough
jung ji hook may be for other he is villain in my point of view he is only father who want to protect his both son from world in his way he don't wants mess life their sons like him. when he says hard word to kim tan mom he is hurting his woman as well as he is hurting itself that expression said
kim tan mom to near of someone whom she love accept the position as mistress , for future of her son locked in mansion
yoon chan yeong a man with clear conscious who know how uphold love and friendship
lee bo na innocent heart and fake attitude
*** its full package of youth and family drama
***in this drama parents done mistakes and complicated things which affect their child and their upbringing and their life . child are broken inside somehow but cant show it so it get out in another way
***its easy to say in modern world parents have their own life children should not interfere but how come they not children are part of their life . its great if parents children have understanding and they give each other space but they are equally part of each other which affect ones decision to others so basically its communication problem
***my view in whole drama i like all the characters except cha eun sang her character/acting is dull for me so i want to give this drama 9/10 minus one for cha eun sang but then i thought for only one character neglect the whole cast/team work is unfair so i reach 10/10 each character have their own stories, dark sides and positive sides .
***many people hated this drama but i don't want to judge them because every individual have their own taste. which is depend on your culture , upbringing and surrounding from where you belong thats how your like dislike count.

A Kdrama Classic!
This is a classic kdrama that I think everyone should watch.However, being a classic, and despite me giving it a high rating I wouldn't consider it a great drama. It's very cliche: rich boy, poor girl. There's the typical love triangle, there's a bad boy who only has a soft spot for the female lead. There is also the "evil" family that wants to keep the main leads apart. It's all very predictable.
However, the acting is what makes this such a great drama. Every character is great and portrayed so well. The casting was perfect in my opinion.

Hm. I had read so many reviews about the plot of this being horrible...but I surprisingly enjoyed it. It was definitely a little all over the place, but at the same time it was quite cliche which made it easy to follow. The plot point of Eun Sang hiding her real economic class was honestly just frustrating because obviously there was going to be a dramatic reveal sceneCHOI YOUNG DO BROKE MY HEART. To be honest, he was a much more interesting character than Kim Tan, and it kills me that he didn't get THE happy ending.
Other two characters that were so good were Chan Yeong and Bo Na, who were one of the cutest, purest, drama-free ships ever. I loved them. And I want Krystal's English "Oh my god" to be my alarm tone. Honestly, her English was perfect, and it was the only one I could bear to listen to. The American actors, especially at the beginning (when the scene was set in LA) were so bad, and every conversation sounded unnatural.
One thing I didn't really like were just that there were SO MANY CHARACTERS. I totally thought Hyo Shin and Kim Won were the same person at the beginning. I didn't care about any of the adult ships at all.
I know a lot of people were annoyed by the OST, but I actually really loved the songs so much that I was down to hear them over and over again.

The story line covers every single K-drama trope that exists and brings nothing new to the table. Acting is alright( as you would expect from this cast) however PSH is an absolute vegetable as K-drama law demands and gets tossed around by the two main male leads. Soundtrack is pretty bad also, whenever an emotional moment is occurring, the soundtrack blasts "Love is the moment" into your ears and kills the entire mood, just a poor choice of song. The beginning of the drama is also pretty cringey, starting the in California(LMH's english is painfully bad and dialogue is awkward).
Overall, i would not recommend.

I love Lee Min-ho(•ө•)♡
I saw this one for Min-ho! ♡ I really like it, Park Shin-hye is very cute and i like the chemistry with her co-star.It's one of the first k-dramas I watched as a teenager!
I'm definitely going to watch it again at some point and I'll tell my boyfriend to watch it with me.
Miré este por Min-ho! ♡ Realmente me gustó, Park Shin-hye es muy cute y me gusta la química que tiene con su co-estrella.
Es uno de los primeros k-dramas que ví cuando era adolescente! ♡
Definitivamente lo voy a volver a ver en algún momento y le voy a decir a mi novio que lo mire conmigo jiji

A Must Watch Show
I recently watched "THE HEIRS", and I am glad that I've seen it. Although after reading some negative reviews about this here, I was not sure of watching this, still I thought to give it a try. And I think, I took the right decision. This drama is all that you want: Friendship, Family, and Love. In the end, this is what everyone valued. Though I am not happy for Kim Won, he deserved to be with his love. But the crown was all he wanted from the very beginning. He gets that, but with the price of his love. I am really hoping for another season for this because a happy ending is what I always wanted in every show. And I think, Kim Won also deserves that, also Young do and Tan haven't become friends like before, and the chairman neither approved Tan nor he apologied to Tan's mother. So, I think they should at least make things clear for all.Though It was aired in 2013, still it connects you with today's world. I think it was a worth watch for me, those who have doubts please watch this.

High school fever!!!
My addiction to high school drama started with this. Park shin hye and lee min ho with woo bin and min hyuk' charming character made this drama amazing!!Park shin hye definitely suited her role or she made the role suit her. Her ability to make the character sync with her is an amazing ability as actress.
Lee min ho, well, age really doesn't matter and he proved it when he nailed it at acting like an underaged teenager.
Kim woo bin, well, his antagonistic but protective, misunderstood knight really suited him well. He's like a puppy that wanted to be pat but bites cause he's afraid to get hurt.
Min hyuk's presence just made the whole drama lighter. His smile is contangious.
Over all, its an amazing drama that hooked me long time ago. I remember rewatching this for more than 10 times!! 🥰🥰🥰

Drama and Romance
I love Lee Min-Ho; so I was down with watching this.What I liked the most is that even though there was a lot of the back and forth BS that I don't like, Cha Eun-sang didn't try to act like she wasn't in love with him. I'd watch again for certain scenes and skip all the USA scenes LOL!!! I also loved the fact that Cha Eun-sang and Yoon Chan Young continued to be best friends even though Yoon Chan's girlfriend was sometimes jealous. Also glad that they didn't hook up. Had this been an American show that most certainly would have happened!!!
I also liked the character of Choi Young-do. You really get to see his breakthrough from villain to good guy. he initially got on my nerves but I started to root for him! Not for him to be with Cha Eun-Sang but for him to continue to be a good person.
My favorite character hands down though was Park Hui Nam; Cha Eun-sang's mother. She was so awesome.

You should watch this one.
You would recommend this to others.
You could watch this again........but in parts.
I have never watched a drama where the negative character has impressed me more than the lead actor. Kim Woo Bin is a good actor. PERIOD. What a performance! I almost wished for the lead actress to end up with Woo Bin at the end (crazy huh?) While the drama is full of clichés, I didn’t mind it at all. Sometimes when you watch a drama without any expectations, it supersedes that feeling and you end up actually liking it. And that’s what happened to me with The Heirs. I had read the reviews earlier, and most of them seemed disappointing but I went ahead and watched it still and don’t regret it.
Go ahead and watch it, you won't be disappointed.
