Review:// The Heirs

It seemed as though The Heirs was going to be the Hit of the Year with a cast including Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin, and Choi Jin Hyuk.

Not only that, but the screenplay was penned by none other than Kim Eun Sook who has a history of hits such as Lovers in Prague, On Air, City Hall, Secret Garden and A Gentleman's Dignity.

Not that the ratings for The Heirs were bad; the drama pulled in a decent nationwide average of 16.7% (AGB Nielsen). But as delicious as it was, it left an unsatisfying emptiness as if it were some sort of Kdrama fast food.

First Impressions:// The Heirs

It's the rich chaebol and poor girl scenario again, and why not? It's a winning plot. I'm sure many fans, including myself, went into this with certain expectations and were thrown off by the fact that it didn't follow the standard routine.  I found the first four episodes of The Heirs refreshing and it whet my appetite for more.

Melting Moments:// The Heirs

If you haven't seen episodes 1-3 yet, then I'd suggest you not click the "read more" link to see the images. They are a little spoilerish, but nothing you wouldn't expect to happen.  They won't have the same impact when you do watch the drama if you see them now, though. And besides, you won't relate to the melting-ness of the moment unless you have watched the drama. Still, Lee Min Ho is worth seeing in all his gorgeousness!
