Plot all over the place
Only watching this for Lee Jaewook. Watching FL's acting is like sitting through an elementary school play and while the other actors are doing their best, even they know the plot is going off the rails. Too many unanswered questions by Episode 8 and too much context, background and connections skipped over in the first 2 episodes. Several promising characters have become wallpaper by E08. Maybe the writers have a Bazinga moment planned at the end to bring everything together but even Han Taeoh can't save this.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Not Bad As Perceived By Many
Just like maybe a few lot of watchers, I also gave up watching this drama after two episodes. I couldn’t stand the business jargons and I somehow grew tired of hearing it. So I placed this drama on my “watch later list”. I decided to give this drama another try and watched this after all episodes have done airing. I lowered my expectation and didn’t watch or read on spoilers.Not bad as perceived. Not the worst drama in my checklist. This drama was an easy watch and in fact, I binged watch this drama. I even could stand the FL’s acting amidst negative reactions from watchers. The planning was great I mean I couldn’t even predict Han Taeoh’s next course of action. Even with his unfortunate circumstance in the middle episodes, I thought was part of the plan. I was wrong! So somehow I was entertained in the end.
Ending. So, Korean dramas have their share of substandard endings. Fortunately, this drama didn’t fall under that category. I think they wrapped this up in the best way they could. Although the ending was a bit too slow for me or like they could have done a better job at keeping us on our toes and in keeping the excitement of a bitter-sweet ending.
Would I recommend this drama? Yes for fans of Lee Jae Wook and if you are a fan of stories and vibe like Reborn Rich.

Think twice before dropping
After watching 8ep of it, for those beginner i will urge of you to complete the series, few ep in the beginning may seems to be little disappointing but the story as a whole is full of surprises and thriller. It also explain why the FL enters into the Triangle sort of thing etc.. Rest is your choice 👌Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Impossible to watch
The premise of the story was simple-A poor-born boy learns about his real bloodline and decides to take what is rightfully his. He seeks the help of his childhood friend Han Tae Ho to seize their spot in this blood-lusting world.
An exciting confrontation was promised between two worlds whose people never unite. But the interaction is the worst scenario possible.
The opening was quite intriguing. Tae Ho finds himself in a murder scene while holding the weapon. Soon, it shifts backward with In Ha crossing the path with Tae Ho. And the narrative starts losing strength. The known conflict between leads and a bunch of unexplained narratives. The director fails to keep hold of the multiple tracks thus making it difficult for the audience to understand whom to follow. The narrative shifts from school to University fails to maintain a smooth transition. The story seemed like a bother as it progressed.
Lee Jae Wook who has previously impressed the audience with his performance in Alchemy of Souls and Extraordinary You seemed too confused and lost throughout. It appears the actor also does not know what he is doing just like the audience is unaware of the situation. Lee Jun Young who was recently seen in Mask Girl as Kang In-ha has delivered a disappointing performance as the main antagonist. His revenge holds no ground and his tools are indecisive throughout. Choi Hee Jin and Hon Suju are side cast despite being leads of this thriller piece. Poor storytelling style and lack of knitting in the story makes the journey more cliche. The impossible heir seems impossible to watch.

An Unforgettable Revenge Indeed
An Unforgivable Revenge!This quote reverberates throughout the series, turning it into a sediment that resonates hard. “The Impossible Heir” was one of those shows that constantly kept me on my toes; I was buzzing with excitement each week to see what kind of new trick Han Tae Oh would pull off. The irretrievable chip that worked in Tae Oh’s favor was Kang Joongmo’s intense distrust of his own family members. A gripping tale of deception and betrayal, the show stars a stellar cast which includes Lee Jae Wook, Lee Jun Young and Hong Su Zu. Their characters form an unlikely alliance which is tested by time; not so much by fate as by themselves. One of the most striking things about this show was the crisp script, no pitfalls or odd pacing. It was thrilling experience indeed and not one minute wasted. Let’s talk about their caricatures before reviewing this business thriller!

Script and FL acting are the weakest links in this drama
The story does not have any solid foundation. Lead characters are not well-developed and you will not root for them.FL is too stiff. This is probably my first time watching a big k-drama production with a lead this terrible at acting. This is why, you never cast someone noob on a lead role even if they are popular or have connections. She and the writer are the weakest link in this drama. Their lack of awareness of their level of capacity ruined this drama.
Update: So many loopholes and too many unnecessary scenes that did not contribute to the story. Meanwhile, they failed to establish the motivations and relationships of the characters to make the audience feel invested so, apart from Huiju, I wouldn't really care if they killed off all of the characters.

It's difficult but it's worth
The expectations of this drama were very high and among many audiences. Unfortunately it's not a drama for everyone. It's not a simple drama.The editing is perhaps the biggest problem: there are too many time jumps and flashbacks to make it easy to understand.
At first you're drawn into the fake bromance between the two MLs.
Tae Oh seems cold and calculating, In Ha is nice but problematic and Hye Won look as though butter wouldn’t melt in one’s moutht.
Gradually we discover various aspects of Tae Oh, who turns out to be tender towards HW who reminds him of his childhood and his abused mother, naive and grateful for IH's friendship.
The development of the relationship between the president and TO is very beautiful: Tae Oh begins to be noticed as an instrument and insinuating into the president the idea of better management of KangOh (he clearly indicates this in the first speech he writes at the presentation of the center). The president's attraction/need continues and develops to the detriment of the relationship with his three sons, who all suffer from an inferiority complex and are (rightly) afraid of the president's growing interest in TO.
They (chairman and TO) are among the few characters (with the Hacker, the Boss, Seong Ju and Hee Joo) who have positive development.
The main actors (and I'm sorry, but HW doesn't fall into this category, because she has only 5 minutes of footage per episode) are a spectacle!
Lee Jae Wook dressed in a business outfit with rolled up sleeves is a sight that alone is worth the effort of following the drama.
He is very good at managing his facial expressions: a complete change of direction compared to the Jang Uk of alchemy of Souls. The moment he lets some feelings shine through, it's easy to become attached to his character.
There are a lot of cuts where he holds the scene alone, with the support of his voice.
Jun Young is also very captivating, especially when he plays the positive parts, in my opinion he is too excessive in showing his psycho side.
The conclusion is fair and positive: Tae Oh wins, maintaining legality (unlike In Ha) and establishes an excellent relationship with Seong Ju.
The last scene with Hye Won suggests that the fleeting relationship is now over for both of them, while the relationship with Hee Joo is open: she can be a little sister or something more with the approval of the president and her brother!
I advise? Absolutely yes!

Wasted potential
Wasted potentialIf I needed to describe this drama in two words, it would be: wasted potential.
The first episodes were so long and boring, you had to hang on.
I am not a big fan of love triangle tropes, especially when they involve friends, but I can usually bear it, but this one ???? Impossible. It was incomprehensible. When did it start, and why ?? All along you don’t understand the relation between her and the boys. Can I also add that the FL doesn’t know what she wants ???
Talking about the FL. How did they cast her ? Maybe it was someone else who auditioned for her, who knows? 🤷🏾♀️
Because her acting was meh if she was in a supporting role it would be okay but FL with two great actors ???? You can do that.
The global idea of the story was not bad, it was in fact interesting this is why I was excited about the release of this drama but I was disappointed. But the script wasted everything. How can you do that to my favorites actors Lee Jaewook and Lee Junyoung ???
Two good things I can retain from this show are Lee Jae-Wook and Lee Jun-Young in suits, especially LJW with the roll-up sleeves… And the great discovery of Choi Hee-Jin hopes to see her in a next drama as the FL.

Excellent synopsis, but poor execution.
First and foremost, it is necessary to say that Lee JunYoung and Lee JaeWook are among the pantheon of the best Korean actors in their twenties. It's even embarrassing to compare some actors of the same age group with them. That being said, let's move on to the final evaluation. So, does this mean that Tae Oh had no ulterior motive or hidden secret; he was just another one who wanted professional success and money in an honest way, and saw Kang InHa as the ladder to such goals? Confronted about why he did all that to Tae Oh, Kang InHa responded by saying: "I don't know, that's it, I guess it's because you were Tae Oh." That's what's called lazy writing and writers with little creative intelligence. The family's mother, Jang GeumSuk, was arrested for concealing a corpse. I was waiting for the episode to find out whose corpse it was. What's the story behind this? Was the butler also arrested? It was a mess and nothing was clarified. Our protagonist is beyond comments; we've already made enough comments about her during the drama.They turned Kang InHa into a monstrous psychopath who spares not even the relatives of his enemies, and it became clear that Tae Oh was an imaginary enemy he created. Also, that toxic romance between Tae Oh and HyeWon highlighted InHa's unbalanced emotions, and he felt betrayed and isolated. I'm not justifying, I'm just saying that the creation of the monster InHa became has shared responsibility with TaeOh and HyeWon.
The positive highlight goes to the interpreter of Hee Joo, actress Choi Hee Jin, who had little screen time but was the only one who managed to connect with the audience. The moment of reflection was the suicide of now Baek InHa. I confess I was choked up.
Anyway, this drama came with high expectations and an excellent plot, but an execution to forget.

Watch atleast 2 eps then waste your time on remaining!
I had an expectation that this will be top tier but no. After 2 eps, it started to go downhill, and even more to latest ep i've watched.No resolution at all, the story is gone and the actors are wasted potential.
It's bad. The two main is the only good or salvation but they decided to waste it also so i'm dropping early on. Imagine 8 ep already but still no hint or clue what is going on?

A MESS I COUDLNT LOOK AWAY FROM...
Okay I actually can't believe Iam finally done with this drama..it's even more unbelievable that I stuck to it till the end but this has to be one of those dramas that only got better towards the end..like trust me if the kind of writing in the last four episodes is what they started with then it would have achieved a decent rating from me.This drama had whatever it takes to be good, a thrilling story line the whole makjang concept of family business and fighting for inheritance, the mystery surrounding the characters the morally grey setting for the characters and it had two of the best actors...but sadly it failed.
The writing failed it, the poor casting for the female lead failed it, the inconsistency in the plot as well as poor character development failed it the plot being all over the place also failed it, the poor editing failed it the insertion of romance and a love triangle where it wasn't needed also failed it miserably....it failed at alot.
So then one may wonder how I managed to watch till the end and also give it that rating well let's just say it was a mess that kept me wondering what was going to happen next so all the curiosity kept me watching and I must say those last four episodes were actually quite good.
Do I recommend this? No well maybe but still no there actually many good shows you can try....
