SYNOPSIS
Alternate titles: 继承者们, Starring Lee Min Ho and Park Shin-hye
A worthy successor to the international hit Boys Over Flowers, Heirs follows a group of privileged, elite high school students as they are groomed to take over their families' business empires. These wealthy students seem to have everything under control–except their love lives. Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) is heir to the Empire Group sent to study abroad in the U.S. In reality it's a form of exile, as his elder half-brother back home (Choi Jin Hyuk) schemes to take over the family business. While in the States, Kim Tan bumps into Cha Eun Sang (Park Shin Hye), who's arrived from Korea in search of her older sister. He feels himself falling for her, never realizing that she's the daughter of his family's housekeeper. When his fiancée Rachel Yoo (Kim Ji Won) arrives to bring him back to Korea, his heart is torn between love and duty. Meanwhile, Rachel's half-brother Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) develops his own crush on Eun Sang. Who said being a rich, beautiful high school student was easy?

Review
2 out of 5 , with Updated Review
(Updated review before the cut, July 10 2017)
This was another drama that dragged on for me, so if you can't tell: the dramas i'm doing 'Updated reviews' on are mostly ones that dragged on for me and I felt was like a waste of time for me. Like this drama.
I don't recall much from this drama, despite the problematic relationship and the fact that Kim Woobins character deserved better - HE JUST WANTED FRIENDS OK. And also, the weird ass and annoying relationship with Krystals (F(x)) character and Minhyuks (CNBLUE). If u didn't read below, I basically mostly ranted about their relationship and how i wanted to shoot myself bc of it LOL. I mean others would think it's really #couplegoals but boi, I hated it. So that's basically it I guess. I dunno, I don't really recall much beside those bits.

SPOILERS AHEAD, aka help me I'm venting
In this drama there was a total of almost 7 relationships going on in this series, all of them led to different solutions there was some where they actually end up together (Eun Sang and Kim Tan) others where they had to break up for the best, and some where they legitimately hinted. But over all they did come off with a pretty wanky ending. They end it off by telling what Kim Tan's wish (his birthday was on episode 19), and it was to host a party 10 years later, so they're like age 29? But this legit happens towards the end:
Chang Young becomes like legit internet police
Bo Na becomes like ?????? we dont even know tbh
Hyo Shin becomes an actor, and Ye Sol is like "aye if youre gonna make a sequel hmu lol", but then Rachel comes up and Hyo Shin is like "yo come to the premier ;)"
Myungsoo becomes like a sergeant?????
Young Do becomes a big boy and takes charge of 'JJ Convention Jeju'
everyone becomes like homies despite like fighting over the company and shit
but oH YMGOD
CAN WE TALK ABOUT CHANYOUNG AND BONA
OH MY FUCK
i wanted to legit stab myself,, like Krystal's character was so fuCKIN CLINGY I WANTED TO STAB HER TOO
idk this drama was a motha-fuckin mess
like it started off with Eun Sang becoming a dumbass: wanting to find her slutbag of a sister who was in Korea. But luckily her ass ran into Kim Tan (because his father like hated him), but like it was so danm stupid for her to go to America without even knowing English. Kim Tan felt pity on her (bc he saw the fight b/w her and her sister) and took her back to his place, which was hella big because he's rich and shit. And then more magical shit happens, they both go back to Korea after some shit
