first of all it must be viewed in its own genre, yes, the story is repetitive, full of cliches, dragging at times, but the Cast and characters were superb and covered for the story lines shortcomings.
CAST and Characters (9.5/10)
- this is a thing that made this drama diffident and unique when it comes to rich boy/poor girl/ second lead triangle, there is no misunderstandings that distance the main couple from each other but real outside pressure and problems, they communicated well, talked things, explained themselves, were decisive and blunt, especially the female lead Cha Eun Sang: she didn't give Yong Do any hopes, didn't act pathetic or weak, she was strong, brave, honest and decisive even from the very start when Kim Tan started liking her in L.A, she ignored it all and did the right thing, which is considering it a dream, just a dream.
Kim Tan as well, though he is "Too Perfect" but was genuine and expressed emotions in an honest lovely way. Kim Woo Bin (Yong Do) as a character and actor was the greatest, you wouldn't think he will really hurt her, but he did many times, you wouldn't think he will chase her and express his love over and over, but he did despite his pride and dangerous personality, he understood his own feelings very well, he knew what he wanted from her and couldn't settle for less, also his acting is magnificent and I was more impressed with him than I was even before he is becoming the top of my young Korean actors list for his skills as an actor regardless of the way he looks. the supporting cast were great as well, the Sunbai, Kim Tan Mom and her friend/ maid Ahjumma. the only character I hated was Lee Esther (Yoo Rachel mother). the writer did a great Job in creating a friends/ family. work place characters, each of them was unique and memorable, and made the show very enjoyable for me.
Music and OST (9.5/10):
apart from &"Moment" I loved the OST, great music, great songs, especially "Love is .." by Bromance. the problem with Moment was the times they used it in, but still as a song it was what the show needs: memorable and touching.
Story (5/10)
the story itself was average and full of cliches', but was carried well and strengthened by the characters and the tiny funny/ romantic/ angry moments between the 3 leads as well as their interaction with each other.
Overall, I really loved it, after watching many intense thriller, suspense, mystery drama I needed something light that touches my heart and absorbs me, and The Heirs did it for me. Maybe, just Maybe, if I watched it in a different state of mind I wouldn't enjoy it as much, but Hey, Kim Woo Bin is a lead! so to hell with everything else.

My first point, I did some research before watching and thought it would be romantic. I read lots on how the male lead loved deeply and showed it. But after 7 episodes with little to no romance, I gave into boredom and dropped it. My reason is that I was looking for something as romantic after watching" Lan Ling Wang" and this just wasn't it.
The other thing that irritated me was the amount of screen time Qin Xiang got. At first, I was curious and intrigued. But it's quite obvious she's up to no good. She got irritating fast with the way she tried to manipulate Xin Ju and Xin Ju let her. I liked Xin Ju because we saw her strength as a woman and an entrepreneur, but watching her interact with Qin Xiang became frustrating fast. Also, for a smart girl, she made stupid decisions that got her into trouble and required a man to save her. This is different to the damsel in distress that was Xu Wu in PLL because Xu Wu never pretended to be worldly or anything more than innocent.
Next thing ... a girl from the desert, being raised by wolves learns rather fast in six months!!! She must have gotten the best tutors in the land. Also, her fighting scenes - she learned that in the desert with which martial arts master???
The palace stuff takes up too much screen time and is too boring. Qin Xiang takes up too much screen time and it's like 1 scene repeated. Plus I hated her on sight.
Acting - all Ie got to say is it's hard to believe someone with the lanky figure like Eddie Peng was a general in the army. How did he survive so long? And someone with the buff, strong figure of Hu Ge was the sickly one. They did not suit their rolls physically.
Music was forgettable and sounded like it came out of the 60's.
Rewatch... since I dropped this at Ep 7 while waiting for anything interesting to happen, Hell No.
And that's my review. I apologise if I offended any of the numerous fans of this drama. Not my cup of tea.

Story: Don't let the summary fool you, like it did me. The drama goes in depth about the lives of the main characters' lives before the major crime happened and how they are all related to each other. Usually its a hit or miss when a drama or movie decides to go from flashbacks and flash forwards in order to solve a mystery, but this totally hit the mark for me. There is slowburn goodness that will make you want to pull your hair out at times, but it never felt like it dragged. And the whole "N" thing was clever and was laced throughout the drama in subtle and cute ways right to the end.
Acting/Cast:This could've been in the melodrama genre there were so many tears and conversations about emotions. Oddly enough, the actors did a fantastic job portraying their characters in a sincere way that I felt for them more than I thought I would and it didn't feel as heavy as it could have. Not for one moment did I consider someone else for any of the roles: everyone from the hard to read and distant Sugishita Nozomi to the doting old landlord. EVERY character was broken in some way, and even though it was only 10 episodes we get to see how deep those scars run for each one. Each individual story was really moving and pitiable. How they were all weaved together was masterful.
Music: Haunting and full of anticipation. Not necessarily an OST I'd download and listen to for fun, but effective.
Rewatch Value: Not really. The core of the story is a mystery, so once you know the how and why everything happened, most of the thrill is gone. (especially considering the ending -_-)
Overall: This is an ultimate slow-burn in romance and mystery. It did take me a few episodes to really get into it, but once I did I couldn't wait to see how everything unfolded. My biggest pet peeve is how the romantic plot ended. I mean REALLY?! Everything else was wrapped up with a nice bow except the 1 plot line I was desperate to end somewhat happily.Still, this is a great watch. Definite recommendation for a stormy weekend.

- plz don't forget this's a personal opinion
- if you like any actors here you will enjoy it but ...
- ... don't but to much hope for kim so eun coz she has the less screen *even when she's the second lead!
okay, I really didn't compare this drama with manga, you can say they have the same idea but there totally has different storyline ( but with few similarity). and if you'r looking for romance maybe you will not notice way viewers didn't give too much for this drama.
the problem with this drama is the storyline , they focusing too much on the love of the main leads more than solving the problem ( watch was solve without them ... I can't explain more ).
Also the story has many holes!!! you'll feel like they go to next part without finishing the first one. and most the characters didn't develop .. and others start develop after EP10 !!! ( I believe if they others more time to shine it could be more interesting).
I reallu watch this drama for kim so eun ( her character has her own story .. and related to all 3 main men leads ) it was interesting ... I really skip many parts.
you can say I start watching for real after EP10 coz her few appearance in the first 10EP and I'm surprise why didn't I drop it, but I trust my favorite actor and she really did well.
for me all cast did a great job and give their best. that's why I give 8 point. but the storyline + slow development + focusing too much in romance destroy this drama .
this's just my personal opinion .. so plz give try for first 5 EP
** if you want to see more of soohyuk + kim soeun + ChangMin and what their roles / story you will know after Ep10
- sorry if there're any grammar mistakes ~ bye ~

Story:
Nothing special here. It is a story we've seen many times before. The pacing works from start to finish, but as in all family dramas there are some side character story arcs that you might not be interested in.
Acting/Cast:
I personally like the male lead, Ryo Soo Young, but in this drama I felt like he was the expensive sashimi placed on a plate of cheap fish sticks. The female lead, Kim Da Som, was a refreshing change from the classic kdrama female. She seems like a normal person and that fit her character quite well. The mother-in-law was played by Go Doo Shim who is practically a staple of kdramas. She does an awesome job in this drama as well. There were some side characters who dampen things a bit... making the overall experience a bit cheap.
Music:
I can't remember a single song although I finished the drama yesterday. That means that the music is not going to bother you, but it's not going to deliver any FEELS eiter.
Rewatch Value:
It's so short and basic that I can't see myself ever watching this again.
Overall:
In the end I definitely do not regret watching this drama. There are so many better dramas out there, but I was craving for a bucket of cheesy romance and this drama delivers that. If you are after a few romantic scenes and cheesiness then this is for you. If you instead crave a complicated, challenging plot and high production values stay away.
Edit:
I need to point out that before watching this I had just watched some pretty damn bad dramas, so my review might be a bit lenient. Just watch the first episode, if you hate it then you will hate the entire series.

I love the actors and plot, though there were some moments towards episodes 40-50 when I felt some of the story was missing or skipped; maybe I can find an uncut version of this to watch again. The actors were so wonderful I felt their character's pain and cheered for almost everyone (even the baddies). There was not a moment when I did not sympathize with both main characters.
The fantasy theme was well utilized, but CG was not great. I thought China would have caught up with better CG by now, but unfortunately if you are hoping to see a lot of cool effects, not going to happen here. These people could have also spared some budget for real flowers instead of the cheesy silk flowers that were obviously fake. I am picking at this only because the flower theme in the novel and drama is very stressed. I also did not like Tang Bao's scenes. Her personality in the novel is very helpful, intelligent and cute. This Tang Bao was mostly annoying and idiotic; ugh, that voice!
The author and director did a great job with the story and character development. The costumes were beautiful. I also enjoyed the music and setting, which made the most dramatic scenes very emotional and well balanced.
I wasn't a fan of Wallace Huo before this (I saw 3/4 of episode 1 of Perfect Couple, and he did not leave an impression for me to continue). Maybe it was the costume change or his serious demeanor that won me over immediately in this drama, but now I am a fan and hope he will make more wuxia dramas. He played the stern but loving teacher very well. He was believable and his affections for Hua Qian Gu were subdued but convincing. I know a lot of people made complaints about the lack of affection (very little kissing/hand holding scenes), but this was what sold me on their forbidden but unconditional love. I actually enjoyed this more than other dramas because the main characters were privately passionate, and I could feel the heartache of always wanting more from their ill-fated love.
Zanilia Zhao was not my favorite in the beginning, but when her character was more assertive and less hopeless, she grew on me, and I cried mostly for her character's struggles. It's nice to have a strong female lead that fights for what she believes in even when the whole world and fate is against her. She was very relatable, and in the end I'm glad Zanilia landed his role.
Overall this movie was exceptional thanks to the wonderful acting, strong storyline, and believable themes of good vs evil and loving yourself before you can love others/the entire world. I would recommend this to everyone. It's quite long, but worth it. I was addicted so I finished quickly. Immediately after its end I felt major withdrawls (that was how good it was). With the success of this drama I hope there will be a follow up or something similar.

The actors are great, I love Park Yoo Chun, whom I had previously seen in Rooftop Prince and even Park Min Young was really good. They had great chemistry and played their roles really well.
It's strange that it's another gender bender drama but it doesn't feel like one. I was excited to see each episode and marathoned the first half of this show. I fell in love with Lee Sun Joon but at times he frustrated the heck out of me, seriously how could they all mistake her for a man? I found the lead female was also really interesting because she was a very strong character. I liked that even the story had a lot of interesting plot twists but towards the end I got tired of the political intrigue.
The only thing I didn't like, and it was a big one, that the end felt very rushed and the romance was weak. It had a great build up with great chemistry and when it finished I felt a bit let down.
Overall though this is a really great drama that I'd definitely recommend watching.

Mrs.cop wasn't different, good plot, good rythm and perfect CAST and characters..
Personally, I think I'm loving the fact this drama had the perfect combination.. evils and good police plot. The writer of this drama is probably my hero in dramas right now. I always search women characters with strength, and finally.. I found ONE!. Kim Hee Ae as Choi Young Jin and lee da hee as Min do Young aren't weak women and either need the help of men to make their work, instead I can say they are BADASS. Above all, I wanna say, Lee da hee act and character is my new icon in kdramas. Hoooray girl!!!
The rest of cast is fantastic too, the police team is a family and I love that vibe!! Other thing I loved was the tension and chemistry between Son Ho Joon (as Han Jin Woo) and Lee da hee (Min do young) all time. I think they need other drama together, in lead roles!! lol.
Finally.. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with kdramas lately.. but Mrs.Cop was everything I needed.
P.s: If you love BEAST or know about Lee Gi Kwang .. then.. better watch this drama, maybe you'll want to call a cop like him!
I Hope you enjoy this drama too!!

Story: At first it had an excellent beginning, but when I arrived at the episodes 10-14 it became a bit boring, I have to say that I stopped watching it (I was on holidays and when I came back I felt like I didn't want to continue watching it), since a friend of mine told me that since episode 14 until 17 doesn't happen so much, I just skipped them and continued it since episode 18, at last I found it interesting again. The 3 last episodes were good. The end was preety, but I expected a little different end so I just acquiesced to it.Acting/Cast: It was my first time seeing JoonGi and SooHyuk acting, and wow I specially liked the character of SooHyuk, he suited a lot his character of devil vampire, I think he was the most interesting of the story, specially I found so sad his story... JoonGi and YuBi were a cute couple, but sometimes I got desperate because they weren't moving forward. About ChangMin, I don't have something to tell about him, I had already saw him in 'Paradise Ranch' and I liked his acting. I saw YuBi in 'Pinnochio' and since there I liked her, of course her character somehow sometimes was a bit passive so I will just look the other way. SoEun's character was a bit hateful but I also appreciated her when lots of episodes proceeded.The best one was HeeJin, even if she had a supporting role, I found her acting very impressive, ****[SPOILER SPOILER: at beginning I thought she could be evil, but she was so lovely END SPOILER]****
Music: I really loved the music, I even donwloaded all of the tracks. All of the songs suited each scenes.
Rewatch Value: I would think about seeing it again, because of the episodes which turned a boring, but I won't say I won't see it again someday, it could happen.
Overall: It's a 6.5/10 because it was quite good, except the episodes I skiped, if they just made the drama shorter it could have a better mark.

The story is beautiful and very well acted. The little girl is amazing in it. I openly admit to tears and i'm sure even a fully grown man would cry as well.
I only dropped points because it was quite slow paced. Well worth a watch though but have tissues ready.

STORY - is pretty original to me because I have not watched something like that. Okay, the forbidden love part is very popular, but having a Korean woman going and becoming a modern Gisaeng (an equivalent to Japanese Geisha) is not really common.
The main characters are Dan Sa Ran and Ah Da Mo. She is an independent and mature student of dance. I mostly liked her because of her positive attitude and strong character, but I also disliked her very much because her face is too expressionless and she is also too frigid. I mean, there is NOT EVEN ONE KISS because she is too ashamed to kiss her boyfriend and soon-to-be-husband?! So you will see scenes in which she keeps turning her head away and insulting Da Mo for being a hoodlum, only because he wants a physical contact. These scenes were painful to watch, plus I despise people who act as if their frigid nature is nice and makes them better than the others.
When it comes to Da Mo, yes, he is gorgeous and I also love his stubborn and powerful character, because such persons love to the max and when they set their mind to something, they do not give up until they achieve that. I respect that in people. However, he is also a spoiled almost 30-year-old man who cannot live without his parents and has not achieved anything on his own. He basically lives off his father, drives the car he bought and sleeps in the same house as his parents. No independence there and that is a major turn off. There is one scene in which he says that he does not plan living without his parents because he is an only child. Ewww.
His tyrannical father is basically a man whose only love is reserved for his dog Andre while he treats his wife less than a dog, and believes that the highlight of a man's life is to marry and have a son so he can be proud and show off to other businessmen and rich people. Even though there is one scene in which he says that he would "get hit instead of his child if the world is throwing stones at him", 99% of time he is just a tyrannical and conservative man nobody would want to live with if they were in their right mind.
The mother is even worse because she is a typical housewife - massages her husband's feet before he wakes up and all she does is sit around the whole day doing nothing in partical. There is one scene in which she will show development and finally speak her mind, but you will have to wait 40 episodes for that and you will already feel like shit by then.
I didn't pay much attention to supporting characters but I liked Sa Ran's step sister and Da Mo's grandmother. She seemed like a very talented and open-minded person while the granny showed more reason and intelligence than Da Mo's both parents.
Music is ok but not remarkable. The rewatch value is low, except for some favorite scenes. The acting and cast are great.
Overall, I can say that I liked the drama because it shows that humans are not black and white. They can be both good and bad, it depends which one prevails. Da Mo's father may have real affection for his family, but he still thinks more about his reputation. Da Mo may be hot, nice and in love, but he is still a little boy who is suffering because of his father's lack of love in the childhood, and he is far from being independent and ambitious (I'd never want to marry him and live with his terrible parents). Sa Ran may be pretty and great, but she is far from perfect - she is frigid and acts as if physical contact is something terrible before you marry which is stupid and which makes her just one of many Korean female characters who are not allowed to be sexual and physical beings, they just need to be pretty, kind and calm. I felt sorry for Da Mo.
So, if you have time, check it out. This drama would make a great basis for analyzing conservative Korean families and the importance family holds in their society.
