The successor to Boys Over Flowers, almost equally awful
The rich boy/poor girl cliche can be made enjoyable. The jerk that becomes a nice guy can be made compelling. The quiet, stubborn, kind female lead can be interesting. But not here. Not for The Heirs. This drama, has an over the top cast, bad acting, poor chemistry between the leads and outdated plot. It was bad when it came out and it is bad now. Lee Min Ho has never been in a good drama, and this is no exception. But even a better actor could not have saved this trash fire.
I think it is better than Boys Over Flowers in that scenes are watchable on some level, the female lead doesn't make me want to chuck my laptop across the room, and the second male lead is at least somewhat compelling (by far the best part of the whole drama, honestly). But that is a very low bar. Overall, nothing here is working.
Skip this. Except maybe for that one scene where the second lead is being fed by the female lead's mom? That's cute.
