While in the States, Kim Tan bumps into Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye), who’s arrived from Korea in search of her older sister. He feels himself falling for her, never realizing that she’s the daughter of his family’s housekeeper. When his fiancée Rachel Yoo (Kim Ji Won) arrives to bring him back to Korea, his heart is torn between love and duty. Meanwhile, Rachel’s half-brother Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) develops his own crush on Eun Sung. Who said being a rich, beautiful high school student was easy? (Source)

Park Shin Hye’s drama will be aired next month; Lee Min Ho’s movie is coming soon and Krystal’s drama is played every weds and thurs. Hope to see the rests of the casts in their own field.

Can only say this is the most boring kdrama ever. I seriously think people who like this drama and the only reason this drama ever get any award is due to Lee Min Ho (LMH). Seriously, i don’t think that LMH got any serious acting chop on his sleeves. In most of his drama i’ve watch, he is a pretty accessories to the whole drama, that’s all. Probably he still young so need to gain more experience before his acting skills can get notice…i guess this is the benefit of been handsome and tall but when i watch a drama, i want to see acting skills beside good looks, which other not so well known actor and actresses have it all, even if some of them doesn’t look quite that good, i guess their time to shine have not come for them unlike LMH. Even my mum who like LMH’s look say that this is a boring show and tell me to switch channel. I give up like after 3 times, trying to see this drama, i nearly fall asleep each time..got to agree with comment that say Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye doesn’t spark off any chemistry unlike in City Hunter with Park Min-young, the spark is there and the only LMH drama i ever like and enjoy is still City Hunter. Boys over flower is still alright, prefer taiwan version. Sometimes i do believe in not following the hype. Just because it’s well known and famous doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. Just watch the drama and judge for yourself as one man’s meat is another man’s poison.

I LIKE LEE MIN HO IM HIS FAN
November 20th, 2014 at 6:40 pm
LMH as a high school student???? Definitely overaged..
November 26th, 2014 at 8:28 pm
I have watched the drama and stop watching after a few episodes bc it’s getting boring I dunno how dis drama got high rating..I think people mostly females watched it is bc of the young n handsome casters like LMH, KWB, KMH etc. I preferred master’s sun drama.

2015, and just watching this drama, but I must be honest, I am a Little disappointed cuz some scenes are very ridiculous and childish, only keep watching because of the cast, but what a waste!. The best part of all are the scenes between CES and KT mothers, very funny. Also Woo bin did a good job, such a good actor with a strong presence on screen.

I heard this is a good one.

i’ve been coming to this site again and again more than hundreds of time…
but still i cannot bring myself to watch the drama….
The plot is typical but for me it is nice…However, I’ve watch LMH too many times having this kind of similar role which make me hesitate to watch it again…
i hope he will give the chance to someone else to act this character and chose a different things himself….
it’s dull watching your favourite actor actting the same role again and again…
Hope he will come back with something new this year…

I’m not sure if anyone will reply to this or even see it. But I’ve been trying to find like a rhythm that was on this drama for two years, it is quite impossible. If someone knows it or was capable of finding it, I’d really appreciate it if you could tell me.
First time I heard it was in eps 2, starting from 50:47 until 52:00. Here’s a link to the eps https://www.dramafever.com/drama/4274/2/Heirs/?ap=1
Thanks in advance!!

first time i watched LMH was in BBF but in this drama he impressed me more than his role from there; i like how he protects his mother and his g/f and he’s not greedy n willing to let go of wealth n be with the love of his life! he’s unselfish, kind, loving and very unassuming — his acting here was over the top no wonder he won an award! first time to watch this but hv been glued already altho i hvnt finished the series! LMH rocks as well as PSH
June 7th, 2017 at 8:26 am
This drama “The Heirs” was so good that I saw it twice (so far). I especially loved the ending.
February 5th, 2018 at 5:28 pm
Seriously, I don’t know what people saw in this drama! I could not even finish it. So silly storyline and plot, bad acting, so many wrong things in this one!
April 7th, 2018 at 12:50 pm
@Sara
That’s because you don’t like any of the cast in the drama. If you do then who cares if they’re picking their noses or pointing fingers in the entire drama you still enjoyed it. It comes down to how much you liked them.
April 30th, 2018 at 11:00 pm
It’s thé Best drama korea i love her very matche and i love park chin hye , Lee min he 💞
