Herdeiros (2013)

A wasted opportunity

I wasn't sure about watching this drama, I'm not really a big fan of Lee Minho acting after watching him in The King but I was curious about the rest.
It started kind of interesting, despite that atrocious depiction of U.S. people in LA but I have come to expect this in k-dramas, lol

The story was filled with cliches and I was about to quit but then is like someone said... It's like a drug and although you hate it you aren't able to stop.

The main leads were pretty plain, I confess I liked Lee Minho more than in The King and I got really emotional in some scenes but those two were pretty boring. I'm sure I'll forget about them very soon.

I was rooting for Yeong-do at the end, I think he had the best character development of them all. Won was great at the end too but maybe they could have done even better. The relationship between Kim Tan and Eun Sang mom was hilarious and heartwarming and the group of friends, although many interactions were pointless and the humor didn't work most times, Bo-na and Chan Yeong were the cutest.

Overall, I expected more of everything. I wish it hadn't been so cliche, that it could have been memorable. I expected more about the power dynamics, at the end, the story with the father got really boring and it sorts of gives a happily ever after vibe that seems unrealistic.

One final point about the OST, sadly, along with The King, this is another drama where the songs don't transmit me anything.

...

the production was good, I can't complain .
I also say that the performance was incredible, it would be a sin if I complained.

I love the actors, I loved the characters.

Of course, not everything is perfect, I can't lie, but what a drama that doesn't have a single flaw.

So in conclusion, I recommend...

I say it's worth watching, maybe it's bad for some, but for me it was good.

This is just my opinion, you better watch it and have your own opinion.

I don't know what to say, because I think everyone has their own opinion.

Drama vecchiotto ma bello da vedere.

Questo drama visto ora dopo quasi 10 anni da quando è andato in onda secondo me è ancora un bel drama.Forse oggi siamo più abituati a storie più passionali e meno soap opera come invece è questo ma comunque merita visto.La storia é un classico,lui ricco,bello e famoso lei figlia di cameriera nella casa di lui.Si incontrano casualmente e poi si ritroveranno sempre più vicini.La scintilla scatta da subito ma ovviamente non sarà facile.C'è il triangolo amoroso e in questo caso ci sono stati momenti che ho tifato per il rivale ,un duro che fa tenerezza.Molto simpatici gli amici e odiosi i genitori.Loro due belli insieme,una bella chimica anche se mi sono mancati i momenti passionali che si vedono nei drama oggigiorno.
Nel complesso drama che raccomando soprattutto se amato lo stile soap con amore che vince su tutto,intrighi e complotti.

Poor story line

Poor story line, a lot of break ups which don't make sense. In the end, getting approval of the realation ship was so easy that I don't understand why they did such a mess with hiding, escaping, leaving the home etc.


I would say The same about the story of bothers, Won hates Tan since many years and in the end they stop disputing just like that, without any reason.

Music was also very average, it could be much better. The Best in this drama is Choi Young Do character. His acting skills were very good and the story "from hate to love" is much more interesting than casual romance.

I had a high expectation on this drama since it was popular before in our country. But sad to say, I'm disappointed.

As usual, Lee Min Ho is a rich man in this drama. There is really nothing good in this story, other than the good looking actors, that's it. I don't know why this was a hit in our country. And I also hate Cha Eun Sang here. Why does she let 2 men handle and just drag her anywhere? The bullying and the cringey love triangle here is too much for me to handle.

But even though the story is a meh for me, I still find myself asking what will happen on the next episodes. Maybe because some characters are interesting. Like the mothers of the main leads, krystal, and what will happen on the stupid love triangle that the main characters has.

Anyway, this is the first acting and character of Krystal that I like. I'll give it a 4/10. If you like this drama, I'm assuming that you only like the actors/actresses, not the story itself. And if you really do like it, level up your taste hun.

I wasted my time

I mean just why? why was this drama made and for what purpose?

I mean the most boring part of the series was the ML and FL and ML’s father. They irittated me so much I almost skipped everything about it.
The most interesting part of the story was… let me remember what was…. nothing.
It has no story and no base they wanted to create a love story but the coward FL just annoyed me. The stupidity of the ML left me dumbfounded. And I would’ve dropped it. If it was not for the character redemption and Jeong do and Rachel and Won. Also the back story of the first love kid.
I think the first couple episodes were great but perhaps because it is an old drama or what but it was annoying.

Tuve que leer varias reseñar para organizar mis ideas sobre este serie, ya que tenia muchos sentimientos encontrados. En general siento que la escritora y los directores de este drama se confiaron mucho de los buenos actores que tenían, y descuido la historia por completo, ya he visto varias historias de este tipo, que se que no son lo mejor, pero nunca había sentido que esto era demasiado cliché para mi, haciendo que después de ver esto, voy a parar un rato de hacerlo.
Decidí ver la serie por los actores, así que hablaré de eso primero, en verdad creo profundamente que actuaron bien según el guión y lo que le dieron para hacer, en especial los tres principales.

- Lee Min Ho como Kim Tan:
Estoy viendo The King, y decidí seguirle la pista a este chico. Vi Boys Over Flowers antes de ver esto, y aunque en esa serie es menos maduro como actor que en esta, en esta serie sentí que su personaje no estaba bien desarrollado, haciendo parecer que su actuación no fuera muy buena. Yo creo que si actuó bien.
- Park Shin Hye como Cha Eun Sang:
Ella me cae muy bien, realmente entendía su angustia, yo hubiera llorado mucho mas si hubiera estado en su posición, entonces no fue mala actuación sino mal desarrollo del personaje, si hubieran agregado algunas escenas riendo y disfrutando, esos típicos momento que cualquier que esta mal busca relajarse y estar tranquilo, hubiera sido mucho mejor, al no tener eso crearon esa imagen de llorona sumisa, que llego a ser desagradable. Esa angustia constante que la llevo a tomar decisiones tan drásticas, las entendí perfectamente, tenia mi corazón apretado todo el tiempo, y me decía como los que hacen esto no se dan cuenta que la están saturando. En definitiva su actuación si creo empatía en mi, mucho mejor que la protagonista de Boys Over Flowers.
- Kim Woo Bin como Choi Yeong Do:
Bueno este chico crea empatía con solo parecer en pantalla, solo que aqui crearon tanto misterio, que era difícil de entenderlo bien. Así como a Min Ho le dieron un papel parecido a Boys Over Flowers, a Woo Bin le dieron uno muy parecido a School 2013. Por eso que los cliches me sobrecargaron. Él es genial siempre.
- El resto de actores:
Los demás no los conocía bien, igual me gusto su actuación, Choi Jin Hyuk cuando aparecía en escena este hombre me le quería tirar encima, me encantó y después de ser un serio toda la serie, cuando lo muestran llorando al final, lloré con él, jajaja. Hubiera sido muy feliz desarrollaran más la relación de hermanos, quedo con gusto a poco.
Las mamás, lindas encantadoras, que relación tan agradable, les salía tan natural, se nota a distancia, lo buena actrices que son. La pareja linda de los amigos, el hijo del fiscal, con sus dramas, el loquito que nunca entendí su onda, la Rachel, que lamentablemente su rol fue de cara molesta toda la serie, en general, bien.

Ok, después de hablar de los actores, se acaba mi reseña, mis estrella son solo por ellos, ya que estoy muy molesta con los creadores de la serie, porque lograron saturarme, demasiados clichés, la saturación de flashbacks, música repetitiva.
Así que si quieren disfrutar las actuaciones, traten de tener paciencia con la historia.
Gracias por los que me leen. Saludos

Good idea, bad execution

Personally, I love Dramas about rich kids like Gossip Girl or Meteor Garden so I felt like I had to watch this one as well.
I first started in 2016 but dropped the show after 7 episodes or so. In 2020, when I had already forgotten why I‘d dropped it I decided to give it another chance. But after 2 episodes of pointless dialogue and the same story repeating over and over again I remembered why I didn’t finish it.
I loved the setting but I‘m still wondering how they managed to make the main girl the least interesting and complex character of the whole show. All the characters have so much potential but Chan Eun Sang is just that one poor girl that constantly has to remind everyone how hard her life is instead of actually standing up for herself.
Furthermore she contributes almost nothing to her relationship and doesn‘t really have any goals in life besides earning money. Don‘t get me wrong this obviously isn‘t the actress’s fault, I think Park Shin played the role well, the problem is with how the character was.

Here‘s what I liked about the show:

The setting:
Spoiled rich brats competing over who gets their parents‘ company is actually a very promising concept in my opinion. The problem was they didn‘t really focus on that aspect but neither did they focus on the romance properly. It was just a weird half-assed mix of the two which made watching more than one episode at once painfully exhausting.

The wardrobe:
This was one of the main reasons why I could manage to finish the show. The characters are super stylish and I got a lot of style inspiration from the girls (especially Lee BoNa, my fav character) There were also very few outfit-repeats (except for Eun Sang, but she‘s supposed to be poor soo) and the wardrobe fit each person‘s character really well (except for that 2000$ coat they gave Cha Eun Sang, let‘s not talk about that)

The villains:
Honestly, I think Rachel, BoNa and YeongDo carried this whole show on their backs. Without them, there wouldn’t have been ANYTHING to build the plot around and they were also the only ones who gave the show some sort of character.

The soundtrack was good in my opinion, but „Love is the moment“ was often used in the wrong situations which made the scene look tacky.


Overall, if your standards in Dramas aren‘t very high or you just want to watch all of the K-Drama classics, it might be worth the watch burn other than that I really can‘t understand why this show is considered iconic and one of the classics when there‘s so many Dramas that are so much better.

I love both of the main characters so I decided to watch the drama.
The begining is really attracting but later the set change completely... I don't really like to feel out of place in a serie or a drama...
I know there's a lot of people who've been disappointed by this drama but there's a real work that I find amazing but I can't tell it there because it would be considered as a spoiler. But there's this thing that is completely different that other dramas but I think a lot of people missed it :/
I definitely love the songs, I think they are amazing and appropriate and that's all I wanted to say ^^
