I love fanfics!
Ah Heirs is such a dilemma for me... I'm glad I went into this drama with absolutely no expectations, I didn't care for the promo's or anything and surprisingly, it's been able to hold my interest so far...yes, its has no decent plot and LMH and PSH just seem too old for highschool for me...but you know, i like the layers that each character has...if you check out dramabeans, they're doing reviews of each episode and do a good job of breaking down the characters which makes the drama much more interesting!
I have to say, Won's (Tan's older brother) is my fav character...he's so cold and ruthless towards Tan but at the same time, his underlying fear and insecurities make him such a vulnerable character...and then you have Tan (Lee Min Ho) who is the polar opposite - second son, doesn't care to be secure but to have what he's always wanted, a relationship with his brother. It's safe to say, I think I'm more intrigued when and how the relationship between the brother's gets better than the leads themselves.
I will say, I'm so glad that Lee Min Ho's character is not what is was in BOF - yes the whole drama is reminicent of a more "mature" BOF but I hated his character in it - in this one...we don't have a rude, arrogant chaebol who falls for the plucky happy go lucky female lead, instead we have two lead with flaws, insecurities and real problems - money is just one of them. The drama contrasts such two poigant views in life...someone who has seen everything with money but absolutely little love and then someone who lives for her mother and has never ever had "just enough" money to take a break and breathe...two worlds literally under one roof. The California sequence was actually my fav (minus the horrible english speaking) because it showed that if you striped away the money (or lack of) and reputation, these two people could actually be together - almost like a dream - which is why the dream catcher, PSH's consistent lack of dream are a constant theme...
Kim Won Bin's character has the most layers for me - his character has gone through child abuse for sure and like most bully's, he takes out his anger on his father in the form of picking on kids weaker than him. It's gives him that sense of power that his father has over him. I think his character will go through the biggest transformation in this drama.
Well I'm blabbing on, but i could go on and on about this drama haha It's def not my fav, but I am going to keep watching it to see if the director can surpass my expectations and actually make this drama
more than just a "typical" kdrama!
