Best drama of 2009 period. Best actors i have ever seen. And the plot is beautiful. Unlike boys over flower which was a complete utter fail.

so addicted to Shining Inheritance! Though the airing time is quite late (10.30pm, PHils. time), i still managed to watch it coz im so hooked up with Han Hyo Joo’s & Lee Seung Ki’s love story! Just a week to go!
Han Hyo Joo is really pretty! Im just confused if “Sung Mi” is pretty or not!
