Yet another korean drama that I'm currently following right now is The Heirs / The Inheritors. Why I'm watching this drama? Simply because at first Yonghwa was supposed to be in it. But due to some reasons his agency and the production company hadn't been able to arrive at an agreement on his character, so he withdraw from this drama. Still, I'm happy for it...Why?? Because he was not teaming up with Park Shin Hye again hahahaa. He has been acting with Shin Hye in You're Beautiful and Heartstrings..I think that more than enough and I want to see him pairing with another actresses. (It's not that I hate Shin Hye...she's cute, beautiful and talented). I'm glad that he decided to star in Marry Him If You Dare along with Yoon Eun Hye and Lee Dong Gun. So I'm watching Marry Him If You Dare on Mon-Tue night and The Heirs / The Inheritors on Wed-Thu night keke~ . I have watched up to episode 9 and tonight is episode 10 from 20 episodes.
Here goes the synopsis of this drama.
"The Heirs" depicts the friendships, rivalries and love lives of
young, rich heirs led by Kim Tan (Lee Min-Ho) and a girl named Cha Eun-Sang (Park Shin-Hye).
Unlike the others, Cha Eun-Sang is considered ordinary and comes from a poor
background.
18-year-old Cha Eun-Sang lives with her mother who is mute. Her mother works
as a housekeeper and Eun-Sang also works part-time jobs to help out. One day,
Eun-Sang's older sister (Yoon Jin-Seo) calls from the U.S. and informs them
that she will marry. Eun-Sang's mother then asks Eun-Sang to send her older
sister some money from her savings account. Eun-Sang isn't happy with her
situation and decides to go to the U.S. herself to see if she can start a
better life with her sister.
When Eun-Sang arrives in California she is in for a shock. Her older sister
lives in a filthy home with a deadbeat boyfriend who seems violent. Her sister
is also not getting married or going to school and works full-time as a
waitress. When Eun-Sang finally tracks down her sister working at a beach front
restaurant, she takes the money Eun-Sang brought for her wedding and leaves
without even saying goodbye. Eun-Sang's dreams of starting a better life in
America quickly vanishes and she crumbles to the ground in tears.
Meanwhile, Kim Tan is not your typical high school student, but a handsome
and wealthy Korean heir to a large conglomeration. He is sitting out on the
patio of the beach front restaurant, watching everything unfold between
Eun-Sang and her sister. Kim Tan's American friend then sees a ziplock bag with
a powdery substance fall out of Eun-Sang's suitcase and runs over to scoop it
up. Kim Tan knows immediately that the ziplock bag doesn't contain drugs, but
rather powder grain to make traditional Korean drinks. Soon, Eun-Sang runs off
after Kim Tan's friend and Kim Tan goes to help Eun-Sang. When the dust is
settled, Eun-Sang walks out of a police station and her passport is temporarily
confiscated. With nowhere to go for Eun-Sang, Kim Tan offers to let her stay at
his home. Although they seem to come from different worlds, they quickly
develop a rapport for each other. But, when Kim Tan is at school, Eun-Sang
meets a girl named Rachel (Kim Ji-Won). Rachel informs Eun-Sang that she is
Kim Tan's fiance and she demands that Eun-Sang leaves his home immediately.
Eventually, Eun-Sang returns to South Korea.
Kim Tan now feels nothing but emptiness after Eun-Sang's departure. He
decides to go back to Korea even though his older stepbrother Won (Choi Jin-Hyuk)
strongly opposes his return. When Kim Tan gets back to his luxurious mansion
like home, he sees someone briefly that resembles Eun-Sang. Kim Tan goes to his
mother Ki-Ae (Kim Sung-Ryoung) and asks about the unfamiliar, but
familiar girl that he briefly saw. His mother tells him that the girl is their
housekeeper's daughter and her name is Cha Eun-Sang. She's also staying in
their home.
Here are some of the casts of this drama.
Lee Minho as Kim Tan
Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun-Sang
Kim Woo Bin as Choi Young Do
Choi Jin Hyuk as Kim Won
Kang Min Hyuk as Yoon Chan-Young
Krystal as Lee Bo-Na
Although Yonghwa was not in this drama. I'm still watching it because...I like Lee Minho too and of course there's Kang Min Hyuk, the drummer of CN Blue haha... I think this drama has a few similarities with Boys Over Flowers where it's all about a bunch of high school rich kids, the hero fall in love with the heroin which comes from a poor family, poor girl gets scholarship to prestigious high school and dealing with the ruling boys..and others. But, no matter what...I've started to enjoy this drama a bit more after letting go the coincidences and of course because of the casts too~ I do think that this drama already has a big happy fanbase because it's a star studded drama, despite not having very high rating...I still enjoying it! I don't know why I'm rooting for Bo Na and Chan Young's couple more...maybe because they are just so damn cute, but they have so little parts T_T
Anyway, let's just enjoy this drama peeps...although the ending is kinda predictable hoho! Now, you can watching this drama on ASTRO ONE HD too keke >__<
