The Heirs (aka The Inheritors)
(2013 - 20 1:00 eps) REWATCH

A classic I 1st watched in early 2023. Knowledge of language & culture made it even better. The episodes flew by as the spoiled illegitimate 2nd son fell for the poor girl & had to fight to love her.

Phenomenal casting of 3 proven leads early in their careers & the supporting actors (see hashtags) who have all had stellar careers. A screenwriter with several other highly-rated dramas (The Glory, The King: EM, Goblin...) The 3 leads & the show won many awards.

It has a lot of wrist grabbing which was common at the time. But the depth that these young actors portrayed is astounding. Lots of character development & we come to understand their pain & the reasons for their actions. Excellent!

Fated to Love You
(2014 - Viki, 20 1:00 eps)

With a 9.5 on Viki & 8.1 on MDL, it should have been on the radar before now!

It's a wonderful, rich chaebol meets a timid, lower class girl romCOM with no murders. It deals with a tragic type of loss in a beautiful way, even though it has slapstick & silly humor and a sweet romance. It handles overlapping love triangles very well. The rich chaebol with a maniacal laugh & the timid girl are shown to have reasons for their behavior. Even the noble idiocy rang true in this one.

Animations & crazy sound effects are fabulous. Acting was 10 yrs ago over the top style, but fits the drama really well. All the characters were acted well. The music was so fun. There is a sweet side story that's contrived but still works. A very enjoyable watch! I will look for more of the leads' work.
