O Herdeiro Impossível (2024)

Choi Hee Jin popularity will skyrocket after this drama.

Before this drama, I didn't know about Choi Hee Jin, but now I'm certain she'll be seen in many dramas as a main lead. She has outperformed the other cast members and is receiving lots of love from viewers. This is especially notable because Hong Su Zu's character, "Na Hye Won," received a lot of criticism, but Choi Hee Jin excelled.

Like many viewers, I also started watching this drama because of Lee Jae Wook, known for his role in "Dead Game" (2024), which I enjoyed.

With only four episodes left, I find that the story isn't compelling enough for me to fully embrace this drama. While I didn't have high expectations, I'll still watch the remaining episodes to see if my opinion changes.

This is my personal perspective, and I'm not sure what others are thinking, but I'm certain some can relate to it.

A Thought Provoking Business political thriller with a romantic touch 2024

Some viewers might not have liked ep 5, 6 but I liked it, the writing and script should come out with realistic realism which most K-dramas don't show because of stereotypes but reality works like this there is no one who is good and pure everyone wants to be rich and live as much comport as they could have. The rich hate the poor and the poor hates the rich vice versa. The different ideology of the middle class (Tae Ho, Hye Won) and rich groups (Kang In Ha, Kang Jong Ma) was brilliantly shown by the director in the 6th episode when Kang In Ho didn't think about Tae Ho who almost died and he did what his father would have done, even his father is using him he knows it and Tae Ho is the one who brings him up infort of his father but he didn't think about him Ina life and daeth situation. At Another scene in the dinner where Joong Ma didn't show slightest of intrest in Hye Won or didn't even asked her name and then she stood up for her self respect and spoke in a tone most of us would have. The plot is great from the first episode itself as it focuses mostly on realistic aspects like if you are getting a chance to become rich or you can become rich if you push yourself in the direction where you can reach if you give your little more time or marry an conglomerates/ rich person's son even if you don't have any feelings, will you choose it or choose your feelings for a person where your future is unpredictable where you don't have assurance that you won't struggle in the future because you are choosing a common man. Will you choose your feelings or money comfortabl life this is the thought that most people must have in their mind, I know the problem, the problem is that you are connecting facts to the plot but not liking it because it is not white and not showing the lovely moments but more of a realistic approach. But rest assured I can guarantee that in the remaining ep u ll see the dynamics of the common man the lead actor actress VS the rich the conglomerate family including Kang in Ha then the real power struggle and the potential of the writing will be judged. My writing intrest is for the audience who ate not watching it cause of law ratings but trust me watch the 1st 2 ep then decide. By the way the lead actress has to learn a lot in ,she is struggle a lot in complicating scenes a lot but as its her debut as lead in a demanding acting scope character I thing she is doing good,why are you worried about acting when the brilliant actor lee Jae wook is here & he can carry the series single handedly. what a gifted talented actor he is in this age.

Episode 7 and 8: The episode should start and end just like this as a single ep of 2hrs, now i get it why they release 2ep in a single day slot in a week. it's getting better and better and I can see a banger ending for it.

The character's motivation is becoming clearer, the little realistic things which director adds is commendable, which is not the case in most K-dramas.
Inha has never been a trustworthy person, right from the start, he's a socio-psychopath who tries to control people under him, kills for his own benefits isn't it worst .now his motivation is clear.

Why people feel bad for him, I don't know and the cheating part I'm saying again he deserves it and it will hurt him more than this as the secret is revealed & much more yet to reveal.

Tae Ho, Huijie is the most righteous character from the whole series in a turbulent evil world. As it intended to be.

And you got it right Hye Won is the impossible heir. I agree, her acting is obviously bad, there's not much improvement from her side, but I will never give her personal troll for it as i have seen worst actress than this after doing many dramas & it's a very difficult character, you need to have courage to accept this as debut. I only hope she learns for it for her future project.
There are many other reasons to absolutely love this series.
Starting from the varied dynamic range of characters to watch, the acting, cinematography, writing, music, production, and finally the direction. Let alone the design and capture of the 2 minute chase sequences, it is enough to mark it as brilliant.? I'm loving every bit of it& i could not find any
upcoming drama in this range.

There's lots and lots more wrong than just an uninspiring lead

Like almost everything is wrong with "The Impossible Heir".

Let's start with the well-worn scenario. Who's the successor to a conglomerate empire chairmanship? The illegitimate son that probably needs some intense psychotherapy for his simmering rage issues and definitely should learn some impulse control? Either of the legitimate sons that couldn't outfox a 4 year old in a Monopoly game? The bloodthirsty and estranged wife? The brilliant schemer secretary with no apparent blood relation to the current chairman?

Here's the problem: it's impossible to care about who wins the succession battle because it's impossible to care about any of the characters involved. The villains are laughably incompetent. The hero (or the one who is supposed to be) is as boring as dry paint and an ABYSMAL judge of character for someone who is supposed to be so brilliant. And the morally ambiguous anti-hero bad boy is so unbalanced that he's easier to pity than to root for.

Shorter: all these characters suck.

And that's if they weren't so conceptually cliche' (which they are and painfully so) and inadequately portrayed.

Lee Jae Wook - let's rip every bit of possible personality from his acting as possible. Great idea.

Lee Jun Young - he would kill playing a character with a serious mental disorder. But In Ha is obviously meant to be just not terribly bright and a bit overly ambitious.

Hong Su Zu - it's possible that she can act. Probably not. The smart betting money is definitely against her. But with a character so bland to portray, there's no way to ever start to figure that out.

Lee Ji Hoon - while it might be unfair to Hong Su Zu to judge her based on this show, there's enough history from other shows to declare with certainty that Lee Ji Hoon is awful. Yes, the character is supposed to be loathed but this performance is so bad, it comes across as pathetic instead of someone worth hating. It's a nauseous experience to watch him.

Han Sang Jin - no real notes on the performance but it should be noted that there's no small number of actors that bear some tiny bit of resemblance to Choi Jin Ho and could be believable as having 50 percent of Choi Jin Ho's DNA. Hang Sang Jin, however, is not one of them. Theoretically, it comes out later that he's not the chairman's son actually but that would betray the all-powerfulness and all-knowingness of the chairman character.

Choi Jin Ho isn't bad.

Choi Hee Jin is pretty good but gets 90 seconds of time on screen per episode. When she does make a brief appearance, she's treated like garbage by everyone. Literally every single other character is toxic to her. It's not fun to watch.

On top of the overall narrative structure, the direction and editing seems bent on making things more interesting by making the smaller arcs as baffling and poorly sequenced as possible.

Bad show. Very bad. Even for those that are ardent fans of one of these cast members, stay away. Far away.

Good Premise, Wacky Execution

Impossible Heir begins with three leads working together strategically to position SML as the heir or that's what I expected it to be. The interesting premise should have kept me hooked ...

but ...Things take a wacky turn, with the unnecessary love triangle, and mostly predictable twists and turns. Doing the same twist twice doesn't help either.

Some shows spoonfeed but this one assumes viewers to be all-knowing. Often I felt like there was some background context missing or some info was mentioned in the passing by that it went over my head. I still can't understand the centre they kept talking about.

Romance was non-existent and if it did I felt nothing. The FL was barely likeable comes off as selfish and a gold digger. Even the acting is painful to see. I could not empathize with her. And SFL who was likable but had no character growth and purpose. ML and SML perform well especially Jun has improved.

The story justifies the title despite taking an unconventional route. One-time watch provided u ignore the FL.

A Lackluster Decline: When a Script Goes Off Course

I couldn't help but wonder if the writer experienced burnout halfway through the script or perhaps became overly medicated, leading to a loss of clarity. The quality of the script undeniably plummeted. We tuned in for an intricate revenge plot and got a hot mess of nonsensical actions instead.

And let's talk about the female lead—what a letdown! Her performance was so lackluster, and her character felt like an afterthought. She had one expression the whole time, like a deer in headlights.

Here's hoping Lee Jae Wook picks a more promising project next time. We know he can do so much better!

Impossible Mix to Madness

This story had great promise once you realize early that the whole scope of the series is a game, and it is a high-level game of chess. The interesting revelation is trying to understand who the real players are verses the pawns. Revenge and takeover are the arcs of the pace of this drama which is palpable. Yet, the FL is a factor within the series that could have been left out completely and the storyline might have landed better. This would have been a better series if it concentrated more on the hunter and the hunted between the two MLs. Towards the end of the series, the episodes became a mess of 'just make it make sense' which missed entirely. So much build up in the beginning to end with such a sloppy 'resolution' was quite disappointing.

Guardate altro.

Titolo che aspettavo con ansia, visto il cast e le anticipazioni sulla trama, ma a posteriori si è rivelato essere qualcosa di cui poter fare a meno.
Storia che si sviluppa in modo prevedibile nonostante quelli che avrebbero dovuto essere geniali colpi di scena, cast stellare ma sfruttato poco e male (i due protagonisti maschili bravissimi, la femminile decisamente no, molti personaggi di supporto presi e buttati a casaccio qua e là senza un perché valido), musiche unica cosa che ho trovato degne di nota.
Non sprecate 12 ore del vostro tempo a guardarlo, la Disney a sto giro ha toppato di brutto, avrei dato 0 al rewatch, ma non mi è concesso farlo.

Not Good Enough

Korean Drama '' The Impossible Heir '' is a melodrama about the relationship between two young men.

On paper, the storyline sounds fantastic, however, the first part of the drama is quite a let down. The drama actually takes a bit to settle down and find its way. With the family drama being lukewarm and the weak romance trying to take the main place in the plot, the series was quite boring for that part.

The second part, on the other hand, was quite intense and enjoyable. With the main lead taking a turn and embracing his dark side, the thriller got better and more action scenes were added.

Finally, the performances varied from good to wooden.

So, overall, five out of ten.

surprised by the reviews here...

i'm very surprised by the reviews this show got. Of course is not for everyone, the show takes its time to get where it wants. People who wants action by the first or even third episode will not like it and find it very boring (and that's ok). I would recommend people to pay more attention to what is happening in the show, a lot of details is being explained throughout it but it really needs to pay attention.
For the characters, some people complain that Taeoh becomes the good one, while Inha the bad one. Life is not that simple lol. The show is quite clear that none of the main characters are one thing or another, since the second episode it shows that the three of them are moved by their own greedy. Inha doesn't do things out of blue, he was always a emotional person, that's why he start to like Taeoh from the beginning and falls in love for Hye-won with just few interactions. He is quite a obsessive person that is doing things without thinking from the start.
Hye-won, I agree, could have much more impact in the show. Her development gets lose every time something happens with Taeoh and Inha. She is a good character and should have more time for us to see her plans.
(I won't even talk about people saying that is bad Hye-won and Taeoh have kissed a day before the marriage, of course is not right to do, but yeah people are human and make mistakes - this doesn't imply that you should kill someone and put the blame into your ex-friend)
A lot of dramas struggle when doing the Succession plot and I won't say that Impossible Heir does it the best, but for sure it makes much more sense than what has been done in much others.
Recomend people to give it a try until the episode 8, when I think it really makes everything more interesting and, since it only has 12 episodes, I don't think one would be wasting much time doing so.

Worst storyline

After first episode i thought ok this not like regular drama it has something i should continue
After 4th episode i got disappointed why the Female lead interfere in the friendship why was she even there ?
After 6th episode im not disappointed anymore i got so much anger on the screen writter and director do they have any sense they must have watched more drama then me even though they developed a worst storyline
I know they are going to justify this in the upcoming episodes but i won't compromise whatever changes they made i think this the last episode i watched on the series im going to drop it
Come up with different drama with better writing and direction after this shitty one I'll wait for it

Mistake of production which they lost 20 billion KW

In my opinion FL character was unnecessary i am not object on her acting or any thing HSZ is good model but acting she should practice for this if she interest in it i hope in future she will do her best
Writer should be sue for his work he thought he is a professional no he is not... he is worst writer. The story good when 2 ML character together plan for future, but when he includes FML character the story became worst. In my opinion writer should quite his job and do what is best for him. This story have so many hole plot like a time jump than taeoh realised he love Hywon and she married his friend. Then taeoh smart person but never knew about his friend motive. Its shocked me taeoh reaction so unnecessary and inha turn to evil. All the things make everyone confused.
Director fault is very big mistake he never guid FL its his fault he never properly guid her. He knew she is not professional but she struggled he never helped her. He cast a good supportive actors like Choi hee jin as Kang hee ju and lee ji hoon as kang seong ju they both are brilliant actors but they have little time screen all focus on main three lead and confusing story so please Disney plus work dont waste like this project hire some professional people who save your money
