Kim Tan’s arch rival Choi Young Do’s gradual growth with each episode in the show was also very interesting. Bo Na was the show stealer and her easy chemistry with Chan Young was really enjoyable. I simply loved Bo Na and Chan Young’s love story. Together they made a very interesting couple.Ĭompetent Supporting Cast – The subplots of the show were reasonably interesting and the supporting actors did a marvelous job with the limited screentime they had. The female lead, Park Shin Hye (Eun Sang) is one of the most successful Korean actresses and has a loyal fan base of her own. Fans kept a tab on minutest of development in the show. It is said that The Heirs was in the news after Lee Min Ho was finalized as its lead. Lee Min Ho (Kim Tan) is an Asian heart throb and has a huge fan following across Asia.

The Heirs does indeed score high on a cast full of eye candies. If not the cast then, at least, the male protagonist has to be extremely handsome to appeal to its target audience i.e. A good-looking cast is the USP for most Korean dramas. Good-looking Cast – I think I should stop mentioning this point because this is common for almost all Korean shows. Let’s weigh The Heirs on our show beam balance and see if it is worth the hype or no. She is bullied by Kim Tan’s frenemy Choi Young-Do who eventually falls in love with her and competes with Kim Tan for her affection. At school, Eun Sang is faced with new challenges.

Eun Sang feels highly embarrassed after she discovers the fact that Kim Tan is aware of her family status and her mother’s job. But that does not deter him from chasing after her.

The heirs kdrama cast series#
The Heirs (also translated as The Inheritors) is a 20 episode long Korean drama series about a young boy named Kim Tan who is an heir to a massive Korean business empire. It definitely wasn’t the Original Sound Track (OST). But in the end, I am still left wondering what made me stick till the very end. Since I watched all 20 episodes, it means that it did manage to hold my attention. I still haven’t understood if I liked the show or no. As for me, The Heirs was one drama that left me bewildered. Considering the categories the show won awards for, I guess I understand what exactly worked for it. Additionally, the lead couple Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye won most of the Best Couple Award that year. The main lead Lee Min Ho bagged several awards for his performance and also won the Baidu Feidian Best Asian Actor Award that year. The Heirs was one of the most popular shows in the year 2013.
