It’s sunny California, and Kim Tan (and his obvious body double) is having fun surfing. Jung Ji Sook- Kim Nam Yoon’s second wife, birth mom to neither Tan or Won.Įsther Lee- Yoo Ra Hael’s mom, RS International CEOĬhoi Dong Wook- Choi Young Do’s dad, Zeus Hotel CEO Yoon Jae Ho- Yoon Chan Young’s dad, Chief Secretary in Jeguk Group Kim Nam Yoon- Kim Tan and Kim Won’s father, Jeguk Group CEO Kim Won, Kim Tan’s half-brother, President of Jeguk Group As much as I am looking forward to the romance, I am anticipating the bromance more.īecause there is clown car of characters in this drama…. But as I continued reading, Kim Tan is definitely a different character, which I hope Lee Min Ho portrays, due to his relationship with his half-brother Kim Won which is mixture of respect, competition, love, and loneliness. I was reading the character description of Kim Tan’s character on the official website, which initially made him sound like a Gu Jun Pyo rehash. Not that I have experienced that kind of moment myself, but because so many Korean dramas seem predicated on those few seconds, especially melodramas and rom-coms. Regardless, it was a quote that immediately struck a chord in me. This is a quote I found somewhere very long ago which told me it was from Charles Dicken’s Nicholas Nickleby, but I actually can’t verify that. Have you ever had the sensation of looking at someone for the first time and ever so quickly the past and future seem to fuse ? Does that not mean something ? That we felt so much, so deeply, before even speaking? I’ve already written a fake scene recap of that previously, and while the latest previews are telling me that I’ve gotten the details wrong, I still understood the spirit. There is one scene I am anticipating already, and it is the scene in the almond orchard between Tan and Eun Sang.

When the full episode is available, I will fill in more blanks and screencaps, and continue to update. If you can leave a link here, that would be great.
THE HEIRS KDRAMA EPISODE 1 UPDATE
When the episode is over, I will go back to my notes, fix them up a bit and update part by part on each recap post while waiting for the torrents. I will be trying to capture as much as possible while I am watching the episode. I am no Softy so I can’t post updates while the drama is airing. The order will go like this (cough, anyone recognize this line?). So with fingers-crossed, I am looking forward to this drama and recapping it, and being part of a community of fans. I’ve giggled and whined, complained and squealed every time there was new information about this drama because while I like pretty, it doesn’t feed my brain nor make up for the lack of sleep I so dearly love.


Filled with some of the hottest names in the industry, pretty boys and girls, and sounding like the quintessential Cinderella story. The Heirs will be my first “normal”drama, and what a one at that. As a matter of fact, what I like most about fantasy-sageuks is the exploration of everyday human emotions in the midst of a fantastical world. They make up the bulk of my favorites I just don’t write about them as much. That doesn’t mean I don’t like regular everyday dramas. This isn’t a conscious decision I just like my dramas epic and/or with lives at stake. In addition, the drama I was crazy about before this blog was Secret Garden. I haven’t recapped long at all, but looking at the past three dramas I completed (cough, or didn’t), I have only covered fantasy-sageuk dramas. This drama might be the biggest sensation this year (for all the right or wrong reasons), or it might be the biggest flop, but it is definitely the prettiest drama. I am sitting here filled with trepidation and excitement.

It seemed like it would never come, but here we are. He sits back, drinks coffee, stares into the sunset, and writes.
