The Heirs Season

[Kensel Whiteman]

Agroup of wealthy, privileged high schoolers deal with the complexities of their family lives, and their friendships and history with each other. When a young girl moves into one of the mansions to stay with her mother, the housekeeper, she attracts the attention of the troubled young man who lives there.

Next we meet CHOI YOUNG-DO (Kim Woo-bin), hotel heir and Big Man on Campus back in Seoul. He bullies a hapless fellow student with a baseball while his lackeys snicker. Aw, why you gotta be an asshole, Woo-bin-ah? His good cheer makes his actions all the more chilling, because everything is laced with underlying menace.

Eun-sang bursts out that unni was her last hope in this goddamned miserable world, and that she was just hanging in there with mom waiting for her to come back. Unni says sorry, but asks for a pass this time and goes rummaging for that cash.

Eun-sang warns her sister not to dare touch that cash, the money Mom worked so hard to collect, but unni wrests it away and tells her to hurry home. Eun-sang cries after her not to leave, but unni grabs the money and dashes. So Eun-sang is left sobbing over her suitcase crying for her sister to wait for her, and Tan watches sympathetically.

well, I thank the recaps a hundred times cause I dont have to HEARS the banglish when I read them. Just leave out the ugly white people as well.

I agree that Heirs aims to be emotionally layered and stuff. but it still feels so clumsy.

Um, did anyone else get a kick that the umbrella has a MARIMEKKO pattern? Which is a Finnish company also trying to be an "heir" to the original designer. and unlike the Nokia empire, Marimekko is still thriving.

anyone have a thought about this? Coca Cola, that T shirt that created a fuss after the first stills? maybe it is not just sponsoring but has a meaning in the context of the story and the world within the drama? the empires.... we all belong to big companies...

oh dear, now I scare myself.

sorry, Ivoire, for taking advantage of your not-answered one-word first post. I have a little of that arrogant only-child-need-to-be-first-or-nothing in myself too. sorry. couldnt resist, mate, as Jack Sparrow would say.

After DB's rules on list on how to be a continued member of DB through courteous commenting, Ivoire

felt very much singled out BUT I assured her she was being unnecessarily paranoid and that it hadn't been drafted just to get her banished from DB. Though nervous at being slighted, she duly complied and didn't post any further 1st post 'thank you' holders. Neither was this post going to be one. Have you not even missed her absence? Have you only judged her by your own standards your own low expectations, failing to see her sincerity, if not also naivety?

The above veiled and spiteful comments will do nothing but leave her feeling ostracised once more and to be honest I'm really disappointed that such rudeness is allowed to remain there because being Heirs, and the first post, a lot of people are going to read them. It just reeks so much of that pettiness of high school that I thought I had long since left behind.

I'm going to miss DB's and GF's insightful posts but truly I'd rather stand on the other side of this battle of politeness and etiquette in disagreement. Thankfully, you've only disgraced yourselves and hopefully people won't let your slander and backbiting affect their opinion of Ivoire.

" Have you not even missed her absence?" That's what I've bee wondering? Where is Ivoire? Normally she would always be the first to comment. I haven't been on here regularly, but I did realize she was missing in action. I hope she doing good, she and a few (Maybe a lot) others was there for me last year when I asked for prayers for my sister who almost died.

So good to hear from you! :-) I am doing OK, and I do remember you. I also remember when you asked for prayers for your sister. I think it was either during the recaps of I Do, I Do, or during the recaps of A Gentlemen's Dignity, and yes, it was last year.

Not only did I actually prayed for you (and your sister), but I remember asking you about your sister, the next time/next recap I saw your comment. I remember how relieved I was, when you told us that she was OK.

I believe that we come to blogs like this one because of our love of Kdramas, and because we want to understand them better (and yes, fangirl and rave, and rant). I also do think that in the process of being here, and of getting to know each other, some of us do make those connections, and some even become friends. That to me, is a (wonderful) bonus, and the icing on the cake.

But your criticism is unfair, since I have said nothing spiteful about her. I was just talking about Heirs, and that I am fully aware that I hijacked a post but I couldnt resist. a pirate is a pirate. sorry if you see that as attacking someone else. I have no idea where you get that from.

I feel like it is not fair to accuse us of what you are, cause how could I fully know the whole background. I will go back and try to find some posts and update myself, what more can I do. I had no idea.

To be honest, I didn't feel your comment was spiteful and aimed at Ivoire - it sounded like a jumbled post full of random thoughts you needed to get off your chest before it bursts, like a lot of us did - but the commenters responding to your post made it seem like you had intended it as an attack at Ivoire instead (I hope I'm making sense).

Don't leave! I personally disagreed with the rules list banning first and thank u place holder posts. There are WAY more important things to be bothered/annoyed about in the world and I never understood why so many fellow Beanies felt so strongly about it. If you don't like it, just ignore and move on, or better yet hijack the post and make no apologies. Take it in stride please people because it in no way impeded or interfered with the flow or flow of dialogue, ideas, and other conversation going on. Can't we all just adopt a modicum of civility by overlooking the flaws of others (or at least our ideas of their flaws)? If they overlook ours and we overlook theirs, it'd be a little more peaceful.

@red fox, my comment was not directed to u at all! And I am sorry if u felt that way. I was just hoping the poster who said he/she was leaving would read it and not feel compelled to not come back to DBS. I personally don't like some things I see here but I never say anything. I try to adopt a to-each-his-own attitude in the spirit of maintaining peace on this community which I actually find to be the nicest and most civilized of online communities around in spite of a few spats here and there. But in an effort to facilitate the good spirit I was just trying to encourage more forbearance for everybody, myself included and that's how I felt about the first and thank you comment/placeholders for those who didn't like them.

Regarding Viore, she seems like a very nice lady and I for one don't mind her being the first commenter or anybody for that matter. I'd rather see a post where people being appreciative of what GF/JB done for us. I don't know her personally. But I have read some of her post and Iviore she has no problem conversing with fellow Dramabeans and a beautiful mind to booth, if I may say so.

I feel like I should have said something like Sabah as well, because after reading the comments after redfox I did feel that it sounded like a united front being spiteful and mean to a single user.

I'm sorry, Ivoire, for not saying anything. I hope you don't feel too bad. I honestly felt your comment was just a nice acknowledgement of dramabeans's work, because most of us simply dived into the discussion about the episode and didn't leave any word of thanks to the recapper. I hope you won't be discouraged after this and I'd like to read more of your thoughts and feelings on shows in the future.

at redfox: I fear we still have a while to wait for that to happen.... *cringe cringe* I'm so grateful to the subbers for "translating" the English speaking scenes so that I can just turn temporarily deaf until the scene is over...

Thank you for your comments, as I appreciate them. duskydawn was right, I simply wanted to thank the recapper, as I didn't have any questions or comments in mind, when I wrote that line. Is saying "thank you! or Thanks!" a bad thing these days, on this blog? JB not only took the time to recap this ep., but she also wrote an extensive and thoughtful analysis, in her comment section, which I personally appreciated, and it gave me food for thought.

Redfox, I am getting ready to write a rather long comment (which I have not done in a long while) about the things that were misleading in your comment. I hope that it would explain why Sabah probably reacted the way she did. Thank you for apologizing, and for trying to understand what you might have done wrong. That means a lot to me, and I appreciate that.

omg! I feel like crying right now! this definitely wasn't the first episode that I was expecting... I mean, they didn't give us another BoF story (that's a relief) but to me this first episode was quite boooring!... although there were things that I really liked...

1. LMH character is great, I mean he's not an asshole, or a stupid rich guy, he has deep thoughts and reasoning... I loved that

2. Shi Hye character was also great, she is tough and I love that too... her acting was awesome to me.

BUT... My real problem with this 1st episode was that nothing really happened, they didn't tell us that much about the characters and although I believe the characters are great, they were very bland in this first episode, they could give us more about them, making them more complex... I really hope this to get better... :'(

I agree! Their English are sucks! I was so dissappointed. They don't have a good command of English, they need to go back to Korea ASAP!...better to hear them speaking in their own native tongue...anyways, what do you expect they just learned it for almost a month??? Well, about the storyline I do hope it will gets better on the next episodes. As for LMH in this drama, there's more profound on his character. His acting is quite good but I hope he will give more of it. My rate for this episode is 5 out 10.?
