First Impression: The Heirs

Watch Online!

Expectation: I didn't expect a lot to make space for disappointment if there would be any. However, I had high hopes that it will deliver just enough to keep me looking forward. Since I took a peek at some of the filmed scenes in LA and I would have to thank those who took fancams of them, I already had an idea of what were going to take place right in their location but of course the sequence of events and the script are the things that I would have to watch. As I observed the atmosphere, I wasn't impressed of the casual outfits of our leads during the film, hence I found myself a bit unconvinced with the style that they were sporting in California. BUT I understood in the end, really because they focused on filming the scenes that comprises surfing, Park Shin Hye crying and Lee Min Ho being topless while taking a shower by the beach. So if we were to call them spoilers, I have known them beforehand. Adding to that, I've seen a 14 minute long preview of it and unfortunately, it didn't make a good impression on me and it made me build my doubts in the series. Regardless of all these things, I was excited because finally, this much awaited series is now available so let's take a look at what they got.

Episode 1: The sequence was a bit here and there but the biggest problem that this drama would have to face is that on how to give everybody (the actors and idols) who were part in the snapshot of character, that much deserved airtime without compromising the story. I'm almost familiar with half of that faces that appeared so far but it took me a while to tell myself that it is too much to handle. Seriously. It might even cause complaints from each and everyone's fanbases if in case that one character would be left unleashed fully. Though, I am still awestruck at the thought of how they were able to convince these people to join in the club. I mean, I myself didn't even had enough of Lee Min Ho but then I wanted more of Woo Bin, Choi Jin Hyuk, Park Hyung Shik and Min Hyuk as well. So woah, how do we squeeze in everyone in a composite screen so that there would be less headache of their exposure? I was even complaining already because Hyuk Shik didn't make an appearance for this episode and that means, I would have to ready myself to a higher probability of not having enough of him in this drama. Well, I came prepared but I'm a hopeful individual by nature so join me in crossing my fingers and in sending my well wishes to the writer and in the production team to make our impossible dream possible. Let everybody be satisfied and happy, I beg you.

I also foresee this drama to suffice for at least 24 episodes than 20. Or is it too much to ask? Because I can't barely accept this to end in a snap or something. It needs to be longer than that, episode one went so fast like that already. Plus, the drama and the plot where we'd have to find out how to solve would take away the screen time of what we are all wanting to see. Just, please drama give me enough of Choi Jin Hyuk because if you were to deprive me of him, I will never forgive you. Same thought goes with every male in the cast. Don't you think I'm a bit bias? Heh. Park Shin Hye is all I care for from the young girls. But then, we'd even have to witness the ladies catching the interest of our boys as well. Hope I'm wrong but I can't take too much of that because I want to witness bromance in this series, as they looked beautiful together emphasizing either Lee Min Ho x Choi Jin Hyuk or Lee Min Ho x Kim Woo Bin. But it's not everything that I would have to ask. The same thing applies to everyone because of their potential to create an otp most especially to our boys. Is that a love call? Maybe. More importantly, we need that charcater who would steal the spotlight in a good way. Please let there be one who would shine as the dark horse instead of just making way for the obvious and predictable.

This is quite funny to myself, I'm so surprised with what I have said so far because I don't usually act like this and I'm strangely asking for superficial things. Maybe, I need to get back my composure like what I had before watching to be more objective in my judgment. Then, I should relax a bit and let the drama flow naturally in chances of not putting too much pressure on it. I still feel a bit ambivalent about what to expect and what to love though. Don't misunderstand, I like this series already but I need this to push itself more, if not to exhaust all the effort to make itself an unforgettable one. Not for the general viewing but to me, a moody kdrama fangirl. Please entertain me more in the upcoming episodes. Let's get along well, shall we?

Verdict: I don't want to assume that I'm happy, just yet.

My advice: Stick to your grain. Forget everyone, be yourself, carry on, and make me proud.
