Ahh, The Heirs. It's required watching to understand the memes and tropes of the kdrama world. You have to go into it knowing it's not particularly good. But wow, I can totally see how it's a guilty pleasure kind of watch. This is a Disney channel style show in kdrama form.
The story sucks if you take it too seriously. It really dragged in the middle, but the last two episodes were great. If we could've gotten more of that, less of California, and less of the unnecessary back-and-forth, this could've been a tight 16 episode show.
Our leads had no chemistry and had concerning power dynamics. The saving grace here was the huge cast of supporting characters. The highlights of course were Bo Na and Chan Young, but I also came to love the rest of them — Young Do, Myung Soo, even Rachel and Hyo Shin.
If I hear "Love is the Moment" 10 years from now, it'll still be too soon.
