Rich kids on the block; THE HEIRS
Wednesday, December 25, 2013
foremost, I just wanna say.............. it's been a while since I wrote K-Drama.... hahahah well, never came across one that I wanted to talk about...... until this one......so, exactly how did YOU spend your Christmas?......... me, I was stuck infront of my computer for a rough estimate of 48hrs watching this.
THE HEIRS
so it's a drama about rich kids born from families of business tycoons with their lives crazily interconnected with each other. It is where we see rich kids live their lives in expensive schools, bully poor kids, get engaged at 17, receive company shares as birthday presents, watch their parents get either divorced or get
but beyond the crazy web of lives connected by money, the drama highlighted the life of this girl Eun Sang (Park Shin hye) and her poor life getting caught up among the rich ones.
This girl who went to America to
meet her sister, ended up meeting this guy Kim Tan (Lee Minho). Guy falls inlove with girl. Girl refuses guy. Both went back to Korea. Guy finds out girl is working as their housemaid. Guy being obsessively in love with girl and poof! goes against all odds to fight for their love....
yeah, pretty mainstream right?..... but what a mainstream drama that got me hooked up in a marathon.... hahahah
above all of that though, I think I had a grasp of what this drama wants to say........................................ along the duration of it, they seem to give emphasis on the age "18". It just simply tells me how 18 year old kids live their lives. Some starts to grow up, some refuses to grow up; some thinks about their future, some doesn't care about their future; some obey their parents, some disobeys them; some gets their first love, some says goodbye to their first love; some acts childish and impulsive, some weighs the consequences....... whatever that is......................................
18, an age where we are no longer kids, but we're not adults as well. It's a age where we are beginning to learn the ways of the earth, we choose and we suffer the consequences of those choices........... that simple... 18.....
moving on, allow me to introduce the remarkable couples of the drama.....
to start off;
#1: the cute maknae couple of Yoon Chan Young (Kang Minhyuk) and Lee Bo Na (Krystal Jung)
so this couple is the "Cheezy over-the-top lovey dovey couple" that did not have any other conflict in the story but their jealous play onto each other....
sounds nothing special right?... but hold it there! this couple can get you smiling without notice. they're such a cute match.
*****my favorite pick!
#2: the hate sibling tandem of Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) and Rachael Yoo (Kim Ji Won)
became step-siblings after having their parents agreed on an engagement. these two are what we can perfectly call the "Villain siblings" of the drama...
well, their not that close, no they're really not. they actually shoot cold eyes to each other, but at some point, because of each other's evil plans they somewhat ends up as a allies, although they're not aware of it.......
#3: the one-sided love couple of Young Do and Eun Sang
this is the one-sided love of Young Do for Eun Sang, started out pissing her off, and ended up attracted to her.
kinda the martyr love that is.... a love where he continues to protect Eun Sang even though he knows she will never be his. and worst part is, her boyfriend is his enemy....... now thats really martyr.... ahahhaha
#4: the ex-best friend couple of Tan and Young Do
this couple is brought about a ruined friendship shared between the two of them. now they're not just fighting over a past feud, but also fighter over a girl.
in certain circumstances though, they may not be in good terms, but because of this girl they end up giving unwanted favors to each other.
#5: lastly, my DREAM TEAM couple..... Cha Eun Sang and Kim Tan
yes I call this Dream Team, because it has always been my dream to see both of them in a drama, see if how would they do in a couple........ two of Korea's brightest stars, Lee Minho and Park Shin Hye.... kyaaa~!
and yes, they did not disappoint.... they're just too good together and they indeed made a good job....... thumbs up!!!
............
now casting wise? I think they did a good job in casting..... they really had a grasp of the seriously good looking men that does not really look like 18(lol), but perfectly fits the chaebol image...
- Lee Minho - most dashing person I will ever see in a rich kid role.... his beautiful face will always work as a rich son..... ALWAYS...
- Kim Woo Bin - his raised eyebrows alone makes him the worst villain ever... that weirdly handsome features makes him convincingly look like a rich son who loves to mess around, and a someone whom you don't want to mess around with....
- Krystal Jung - her cute and chic looks and idol-fashion really fits the entertainment company CEO's daughter image. I mean what would look more of a daughter of an entertainment company CEO than someone who wears clothes as a Kpop artist. (lol)
I had second thoughts though, that kind of character can fit Suzy Bae too.. the obsessive in love girl tht acts so cute. yes that......... but Krystal fits the image better.... and she speaks English better too..... P.S: I just love her "Oh my god" moments... hahahah
- Kang Minhyuk - pretty boy image that looks like would never pick up a fight. such visuals that would perfectly fit for a character who is the class president, someone close to his father, and very loyal to his ever nagging girlfriend.
and last - Park Shin Hye - [sorry to say this] pretty yet not so stunning... just right for a poor girl image. but that innocent looking face is pretty enough for men to like............
well seems like I talked to much again... ahhahaha
as mainstream as it gets, this is still one heck of a drama....... and I seriously love it..... and yes, I just love how much that DREAM CATCHER made an impact in the story...... I just love dream catchers you know.... ahhahaha
till next time then.....
Don't forget to let me know you passed by..... thanks!
