Synopsis from AsianWiki.com
I already heard a lot of rumors before this drama been officially aired. As far as I know, the initial rumor is that this will be starred by Kim Hyun Joong, Jae Joong and Yonghwa
"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.I already heard a lot of rumors before this drama been officially aired.

This drama is something that's been anticipated by a lot of people because of its all studded cast. I myself is one of them, but when I saw the trailer my first thought is that it is a Boys over Flowers (BOF) replica. With the story line same as BOF, I can't help but be a little bit disappointed. The story line of a young super rich boy falls madly deeply in love with a poor tough girl. So I thought what should I expect more from this drama, but I still gave it a chance and see what and how will it be different to BOF.
This drama is under SBS network and has 20 episode in total. It is currently on their 14th episode. This drama is about money, chebols, love, social status and more money.
When I first watched the episode 1 and 2 my first impression is that there are too many characters and that it confused me to remember all of them and at the same time remember their relationships and how are they related to one another, but as the story progress I can say that I'm getting used to it though other relationships are still unclear for me, I just let it be and maybe as the story progress, it will be revealed. Since it is a star studded drama, I can't help but be a little bit sad that other actors like Minhyuk of CN BLUE and Krystal of f(x) are being overshadowed by other members. I do get that they are just supporting cast and Lee Minho (Kim Tan), Park Shinhye (Eun Sang) and Kim Woobin (Young Do) are the main, but Minhyuk (Chan Young) and Krystal (Bo Na) couple are just soooo cute that I hope they have more story and screentime! I love how cute and sometime overacting Chan Young and Bo Na's relationship is! It balances the heavy and problematic relationship Kim Tan, Eun Sang and Young Do have.
Aside from the young couples, this drama also have adult couples like Rachel's mom and Chan Young's dad that represents that this issue is not only applicable to young teens. This drama shows how the rich people live very differently to normal people since they have money, fame, reputation and corporation to protect. This drama also shows the reality of what Cinderella and Prince Charming have to go through before they get they're "Happily Ever After" and IF they can really get one.
My Thoughts:
To be honest, I wasn't really that thrilled after watching the first 2 episodes of this drama, but as the drama progress, I am starting to like this drama, maybe not as much as "Marry Him If You Dare", but this drama has its own charm. Expect a lot of drama (money and chebol dramas) and cute romantic scenes. Right now, my favorite couple is Chan Young-Bo Na and I ship Young Do for Eun Sang! There is just something when a bad guy became soft and sweet in front of the girl they like/love! Thumbs up for his drama and hoping for more twists and romantic scenes in the upcoming episodes! :)
What do you guys think? Who are your favorite couple?
