He leaves and allows his minions to beat glasses kid up. Young Do laughs at the kid for being poor but having a bit of pride.
The kid grips it tightly and then tosses it to the side and shatters a mirror. So it’s his choice today whether to fight back. They all have a long life ahead of them and in the future, Young Do and his rich buddies will be the one’s employing people like glasses kid. He all but goads him to toss it at his own head. Young Do tosses the baseball at the bullied kid and gives him a chance to fight back. Young Do snarks that he’s going to miss (bullying) glasses kid during the upcoming vacation. Two of his fellow rich buddies stand to the side and snigger at the bullying.
Tan’s surfing buddy John asks Tan if he doesn’t resent his family? His brother hates him, his mother who gave birth to him, and his father who never takes his side? Tan smiles and thinks to himself that he’s too dang lazy to even be resentful.īack in South Korea, Choi Young Do (Kim Woo Bin) is tossing a hard baseball at the wall right next to where a cowering boy in glasses is standing. He sends Tan overseas ostensibly to study abroad but in truth it’s to exile his rival for the family inheritance. He tells Tan to just eat, drink, and be merry. Older half-brother Kim Won (Choi Jin Hyuk) tells a fifteen year old Tan to stop dreaming because the rich don’t dream. Tan sits at a restaurant overlooking the beach and sips his coffee, flashing back to why he’s here. He bids adieu and heads to shower off at the outdoor stalls. He finishes for the day and walks towards the shore with his friends. Kim Tan (Lee Min Ho) is surfing with his buddies, looking quite at home riding the waves. I’ll toss in an extra screen cap since the drama came all this way to LA. The camera pans over sunny Southern California, going from the Hollywood sign to the beaches of Santa Monica and Malibu to Universal Citywalk and the freeways that dot this sprawling metropolis of suburbs. It is what it is, and I’m amused by its flashy confidence. This is a classic Kim Eun Sook escapism Candy story, only with a younger and bigger cast. For now Heirs is fun to watch, easily can turn into a drinking game if one has a good sense of humor, but ultimately it doesn’t reek of trying too hard to make something more than it is. Episode 1 was pure set up with plenty of location shoot eye candy, but so far I think all the prologue will serve merely as teasers and the main course is when the action moves back to the primary setting of the school to the uber-rich Empire High. She packs the world to the gills with every rich and poor stereotype (and plenty of laughable Americans stereotypes), but luckily some of her actors breath life into their roles – Kim Woo Bin, Kang Min Hyuk, Park Shin Hye, Lee Min Ho – while others hopefully will have minimal screen time – Krystal and Kim Ji Won – so that I can be spared their painful acting. Kim Eun Sook is back and this time she’s also tailored her writing tempo and style for this particular younger story. Heirs delivered exactly what I was expecting, a better take on the Hana Yori Dangoset up with enough tweaks and differences to allow it room to breath on its own without the ghost of HanaDan (in Korea Boys Before Flowers) hanging over it. For the adult viewers, this is pure entertainment that combines fantasy with nostalgia with a side of the current crop of It young actors to check out. Every few years one of these comes along – a high school show that delivers the escapism imagination for teen viewers living in the dreary halls of high school wanting something absurd set in their own world to take them out of their own world. I quite enjoyed episode one of Heirs/ The Inheritors, an over-hyped packaged fluff with plenty of warts and an overflow of pretty young things.
