O Herdeiro Impossível (2024)

Definitely not first rate

This is a chaebol melodrama. When Han Taeoh, a poverty-stricken but intelligent and smart young man teams up with Kang Inha, the illegitimate son of a chaebol family to help each other rise to the top, they did not expect their plans to be interrupted by selfish desires or the presence of a girl, Na Hyewon.

This drama's plot is utterly captivating. The dialogue is also realistic and convincing. Being a drama where issues on assets, inheritance, finances, ambition and greed are dominant, the tone is quite serious.

Although the drama has the tendency to draw audience in, there were some parts i found disappointing.

Th impossible heir has unlikeable characters. Almost everyone in the drama is either greedy and wants to even covet what's not theirs or overly ambitious and would make use of any available person or opportunity to rise to the top.

Another point of criticism has to do with the female lead's acting which was very terrible. This is my first ever drama of Hong Su Zu and it was a huge let down. Her character as Na Hyewon was effortlessly flawed. Her inability to show diverse facial expressions was evident in every scene of hers. Even in situations that required sorrowful expressions, she came off as stoic. However, as a rookie, i'd give her the benefit of the doubt hoping she'd grow and improve with time.

Although the drama ended on a good note, it wasn't satisfying. For me, it was poorly executed and lacked certain details. All in all, the impossible heir wasn't bad, just that it could have used more story development.

Don't waste your time

I beleive that every drama even if it's trash , cringey , illogical or even immoral has a kind of audience , some kind of entertainment value which makes us watch them .But for this drama , maybe you are a die hard fan of the actors or just want to curse at your screen (stress watching) kinda recommended .But otherwise pls don't waste your time on this.Even all the high budget , ost and talented cast couldn't save this drama because of the crappy plot , underdeveloped characters , really couldn't connect with any of the leads couldn't understand their motivations really wished the worst for them to happen.Rather than the drama the comments in the mdl section and social media were more interesting than the drama itself.Special mention for my girl heeju and the hacker guy only characters I liked in this drama and were relatable.

genuinely would like to have a word with the writer

The Impossible Heir was a drama that I went into with extremely high expectations because of the main leads and trailers, however, I was left with even more disappointment. It lacked ingenuity altogether and at no point in the duration of the show were certain plot devices fully explained or even utilised.

The Good:
Honestly, there isn't much to this list, but i'm gonna try anyways
1. Eye candy- as usual the actors are definitely a pleasure to see on the screen, but whether the script did justice to their abilities is highly questionable

2. New talent- I loved seeing actors I haven't been introduced/haven't seen much of. Choi heejin was an absolute scene stealer and I kept waiting for more plot presence for her. Jang maru was another actor I'm looking forward to and he did well in the role of sunwoo wan.


The Not-So-Good:
This drama had a number of fatal flaws that made it a tiring watch and I really hope the writer takes fan feedback.
1. The lack of character building- rather than a lack of character development, I feel this drama lacked in its character building. At no point during the first half of the drama did I understand the characters and their motives. The generic and yet terribly explained trauma said nothing about the characters and the time skips were too large to grasp the development of their dynamic. Even after the show had established a certain narrative, I was unable to understand the need for the initial premise of taeoh and inha's friendship. taeoh climbing up to his position was his own effort and clearly his fathers wrongdoings didnt seem to be a scratch on him. so what really was the need for the collaboration bw the two.

2. The FL- contrary to popular opinion here, the FLs acting-while stiff- didn't really bother me as much as her character did. Her character was practically useless-she contributed just about nothing to the groups plans after a point, wasnt of any help to taeohs final plan and the drive to marry inha made no sense either considering her talent was being acknowledged at her workplace. The kiss was entirely unnecessary and only became taeoh's weakness.

3. Unexplored plot devices- So many characters in this drama seemed to be there solely for the sake of adding characters and deluding the viewers to believe in the complexity of the situation. taeoh's dad existed solely as a set up and at no point did the 'murderers son' title matter except for a few minutes in ep 11. Similarly, hyewons mother only existed for the betrayal point to show that inha wasnt into hyewon. Heeju's existence seemed like a filler at her character never seemed to have any purpose.

4. The unnecessary romance- much like other parts of this drama, hyewon and taeohs romantic affection had no proper explanation, elaboration or even appropriate closure and was a distraction from the main plot that was getting unnecessarily tangled by their absurd romance line.

There is definitely a lot to unwrap when talking about where the drama fell short but all in all it seemed like a concept that started to birth a 20 episode makjang but was forced into the mould of a 12 ep drama. Was most definitely disappointed at the choice of script for the MLs and would not recommend this to someone who isn't an avid fan of either.

No dio el ancho de su presupuesto

El drama tenia a muy buenos protagonistas masculinos y por lo que lei Disney invirtió bastante en el, incluso algunos comentaron que es el kdrama mas caro de la historia!!! Que gran error para una historia mal contada, con bastantes huecos, dejaron muchas cosas al aire y después del tercer capítulo le perdí el hilo, lo senti bastante apresurado. Incluso sentí que ningun personaje tuvo un desarrollo.
De la protagonista femenina, independiente de sus pocas habilidades de actuación fue un personaje que no aportó nada!!
No lo recomiendo, hay mejores kdramas de venganza que este.

Se vi è piaciuto Itaewon Class vi piacerà....

... vi piacerà perchè seppur il contesto è diverso, la storia è quella di un riscatto, di una rivincita ottenuta senza scendere a compromessi con il male.
Recitazione superba di entrambi i protagonisti maschili. Per quanto riguarda invece la protagonista femminile che è stata molto criticata, spezzo una lancia a suo favore dicendo che forse è stato antipatico il ruolo che ha interpretato e non la sua recitazione: vedremo i suoi prossimi lavori.
La colonna sonora è stata all'altezza del drama (finalmente! poichè ultimamente erano un poco scadenti quelle in altre produzioni), peccato che ancora non sia disponibile per l'ascolto.

Lo consiglio? Certo! Il mio voto è un 9 e solitamente sono molto avara.

THE WEIRDEST BUSINESS DRAMA WITH NO PROPER BUSINESS

The starting episodes were great actually pretty since they were not that harsh and revolved round the high school lives of three students with 3 goals. Everyone seemed pretty normal but the ten years leap was absurd. Instead of focusing on the company, the writer forcefully tried to build an unfaithful relation between the leads which was very uncomfortable to watch, THAT RUINED THE IMAGE OF FRIENDHSIP BETWEEN THE LEDS The business scenes did not make sense and most of the influential characters were rotten mangos. Moving on, the drama stabilized when one of the leads was directly called out as being a villain and then we get a flashback of how he had evil intentions since the beginning. THAT RUINED THE IMAGE OF FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN THE LEADS. I think the drama became more interesting but lost its point in a way as well. Anyways, the ending worked well. The FL character was written absolutely trash, she would be the most self centered character who expects others to give to her while she wont return anything, for she is a supposedly intelligent, like huh? That's straight up being greedy bruh. The 2FL was the star of the show. She was such a mood and the only character we can call a human, since everyone else was begging for money, wealth and power.

Unnecessary Love Triangle

If this series omitted Na Hyewon the series would’ve been fine. She can be an afterthought character like the first son’s wife for all the impact the had. The hacker had way more significance than her.

Inha is an idiot who tried to killed the golden goose, Taeoh, so he got what he deserved. Killing himself was too good of an ending for him. I would’ve liked the chairman to pay someone to shank him just to the cusp of death, heal and get beaten on a regular basis for
1. Sending his best friend/loyal dog to jail
2. Stealing his best friend’s girl
3. Killing his brother
4. Sending some to shank his other loyal dog
5. attempted murder of his father 2x
6. Choking his wife because he’s jealous after he stole her from his bestie
7. Treating the kindest loyal friends like dogs for emotional and criminal support
8. Just being a POS
9. Killing Taeoh’s mom
10. Being shady AF

Taeoh gets an award for being the most loyal friend who serve an undeserving person. I am glad he and Hyewon didn’t get together. He should get with Huijui after she’s traveled the world and grown up a bit.

The chairman is a domineering narcissist but he would not be the chairman if he wasn’t.

I want to like this series more but NaHyewan ruined it for me. It took me a while to finish it as a t was intense but flow was so inconsistent due to Na Hyewon ruining the flow with completely unnecessary scenes. I think most people would score this series higher if she wasn’t in it.

Why can't the women act

Everyone was annoyed with the FL but honestly, none of the women gave 100% and were generally annoying. It felt like they were just there.Choi Hee Jin probably did the best but overall, still underwhelming.

The story had so much potential but you have to wade through 6 episodes before it really gets watch worthy. It really could have been developed so much better but it just lacked something until the end.

Lee Jun Young and Lee Jae Woo absolutely killed their characters. Luckily, they were the only reason I stuck it out and in the end, I'm glad I did. Definitely not a thriller and was almost predictable. I ended up fast forwarding through so much of the first 6 episodes that I didn't miss a thing.

If you like out two main ML's, it's worth the watch but be prepared to want to move through the episode quickly.

High Hopes, Disappointing Outcome

Impossible Heir turned out to be quite different from what I had anticipated. Going into it, my expectations were high, fueled by anticipation for a drama that promised an intriguing storyline. Unfortunately, the series fell short of those expectations, leading to a sense of disappointment. One of the main aspects that contributed to my dissatisfaction was the portrayal of the FL. Her character didn't resonate with me, which significantly impacted my overall enjoyment of the drama. While the premise of the drama had potential, the execution and character development, particularly regarding the FL, left much to be desired.
