I know that the movie has been out earlier in 2013 and have watched it before, but my friend just watched it the other day and it reminded me watch it again and then write about it.  Watching it the second time still made me cry and it was even weirder because I watched it during the day in my workstation at home where people can see me. HA! Good thing my peers at home are busy in the kitchen. Although, I tried not to cry, tears just kept falling and my eyes were swollen after the whole movie

The brothers, Won and Tan along with Secretary Yoon, joined forces to stop the motion to transfer the ownership to the chairwoman.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 19 Summary

Summary of Episode 19 The Heirs

I know this is another late post I have to do not only because of the storyline but because it is already ending and I just have to make it. LOL

It is Kim Tan’s birthday and all of the important people of the Empire Group are invited. Kim Tan's friends came as well as their relatives. The media is also present to capture the event.

Everyone was surprised to see Kim Tan with Eun Sang and the Chairman was shocked that Eun Sang even came with him. Since the reporters are watching and many eyes are there, the three of them talked in private.
There, Kim Tan expressed that he wanted to brag about Eun Sang to the world. The Chairman was in very mad at them and told them that they are crazy and eventually told them that they will regret what they did later and left. Eun sang was confused if that statement was an approval or a threat and Kim Tan said that it was an approval that can turn into a threat anytime.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 18 Summary

Summary of Episode 18 The Heirs

Denial and acceptance is evident in our leads. When they saw each other outside the dreamcatcher shop, they just ignored each other. Then Kim Tan tuned around and ended up following Eun Sang to the province. Through she knew that Kim Tan is behind her, she never once looked back until she arrived at her house and closed the door. The moment she closed the door, it was her turn to chase after him. Thinking that he already left, she went back and there she found him but then she chased him away.

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 15 Recap + Some Review (Partial)

I know this is quite a late post and I even skipped an episode. But hey, things happen for a reason. Forgive me or hate me if you must, but here goes Episode 15 of The Heirs.

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!!

It starts with a kiss on the forehead at the party of Yoon Chan and Bo Na.

Young Do talked to Rachel and told her that it will be the last time she can humiliate Eun Sang. Hyo Shin came and it seems that he did not take the college entrance exam.

At the mansion, Madame Han and Eun Sang's mother try to open the safe of the chairman. There she found photos of Tan and Eun Sang while they were in America. There was one photo that shocked her, too bad it wasn't shown. What could it be? hmmmm

Korean Drama: The Heirs - Episode 13 Summary and Review

I know this is a late post but what the heck, just like the old saying goes"Better late than never."

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT!!

Episode 13 is where Cha Eun Sang finally gave in. The episode starts where they were staring at each other outside Eun Sang's part time. Kim Tan asked if the promise Eun Sang made while they were in America still valid (she would run away with him when he is in trouble). She did not answer but instead hugged him.  See, I was right that she would give in any moment.

The scene changed to Rachel and her mother talking. Rachel is told to not break up with him yet and wait

The Heirs: Episode 12 Recap and Review

Episode 12 of The Heirs aired on November 14, 2013 at 21:55 in Seoul

So far, this is my favorite episode because a lot has been revealed. There is no secret or lie that can be kept forever. Sooner or later the truth will be known and this was the episode that reveals everything.

It started at the intersection where Eun Sang had to let go of Tan's hand and choose to give up. Young Do had to act as the bad guy by telling her not to hold onto him.

Young do also figured out that Eun Sang is a daughter of Tan's housemaid who has a speech

The Heirs Episode 11 Summary and Review

Episode 11 of the Heirs aired on November 13, 2013 21:55 in Seoul

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT

Omo, Cha Eun Sang is now in between Kim Tan and Young Do. Finally she realized that, she really likes Kim Tan but then again she cannot stay in that dream for long and had to wake up to reality. This is where Young Do had to come in to remind her of that. Too bad, he had to let Eun Sang fall to the pool and Kim Tan had to push him, so Young Do fell as well.

Is it just me or does Kim Woo Bin really looks good on the pool scene. He has this scary look on his face but on that particular part of the episode where he got his hair wet, he definitely has a tamed look. Changed my view on him being the bad one.

This episode discusses more about the relationship of Kim Tan and Young Do. Young Do realized that he lost his friend and mother way back when they were still young because of his impulsive decisions. Somehow, there is regret in his face but then again, he just has to act cool in front of

The Heirs - The One Who Wants To Wear The Crown, Bear The Crown



I've been waiting for this drama since the start of the year and now its already broadcasting!

I have been looking forward to this drama simply because of the presence of Lee Min Ho. I am also curious as to how this will turn out because of Park Shin Hye. She is one of the my favorite female leads.
