When I was first getting into Korean pop culture back in 2014 everyone was infatuated with The Heirs, I was into the music side of things more back then and I wanted to check out some dramas and since everyone was raving about the heirs I thought I'd give it a go. I binge-watched it every day up until episode 17 and then I guess life got to me and I stopped watching, recently after watching some way better TV shows, I decided to finally finish it and not going to lie despite expecting very little I did enjoy watching the final 3 episodes.

Being South-Asian myself I was well used to dramatic plotlines that were well removed from reality but I don't think anything quite prepared me for The Heirs. Sometimes it felt like things happened just because the writer was able to write it into the script. It was so ridiculous at times I found myself having to pause the episode just to take in what was going on. I also believe the show took on a few too many sub-plots, towards the end a lot of the conclusions to these plots were incredibly rushed. However, I think The Heirs is an interesting watch if you go in knowing how legitimately ridiculous it is, its sheer madness is magnificent.

Overall I liked the acting in The Heirs and I think the casting was done quite well in some areas, for example, Tan and Won actually did look like brothers but everyone cast as teenagers looked way too old. I found Krystal's character annoying but I think that's just how she was designed (also I can't stand valley girl accents). Park Shin-Hye did her stiff rigamortis kiss thing but I've come to learn that's just how she acts in every kiss scene so minus points there too. However, as ridiculous as the show got the actors always delivered.

The music in The Heirs was well-fitting albeit a tad annoying at times its been 5 years and "LOVE IS THE MOOOOMMMEENNNTTT" still echoes in my head from time to time. Anytime anything slightly romantic happened in it would come BOOMING. Besides that one track, the rest of the soundtrack was nice and mellow.

Realistically I likely won't rewatch the heirs but a little part of me feels like I would just for the nostalgia of it all, despite its flaws there is still something very iconic about it. Love it or hate it, its impact is everlasting.
