REVIEW: ⤵
This drama did take me a while to complete.
When I first began to watch it, I was not impressed with the dynamic between the two leads, Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye. I did not think that they had chemistry in the least.
I must have re-watched the first three episodes twice attempting to decide whether or not I liked it.
I must have re-watched the first three episodes twice attempting to decide whether or not I liked it.
I am unsure whether it was the acting with KT friends from California or whether or not I just was not feeling the vibe between CES and KT.
Honestly, the producers could have done a better job with getting better actors to play KT friends.
For some time, this drama sat at the bottom of my Watchlist as new dramas emerged, it went further and further down.
Something told me to stick it out and I am glad that I did. The dynamic between Lee Min Ho and his brother Choi Jin Hyuk is a heartbreaking element. The dynamic between once best friends Kim Woo Bin and Lee Min Ho is interesting to watch until the end. The gang of rich girls played by Krystal Jung and Kim Ji Won is also an exciting element in this story.
We can not forget the adults and their intensity in this drama!
All in all a very good romantic drama!
4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐
I would recommend this drama! It has all of the elements of a great School Drama! It is a bit reminiscent of the US show, 90210 but I liked it. I do have to admit that it took me a couple of years to get through this drama, but I am glad that I got through it.Be warned that it is in this drama that PSH received a lot of harsh criticism for her kiss scenes with LMH.
Other than that, The Heirs is a great throwback drama.
