Heirs adds Kang Haneul, Park Hyung-shik
by javabeans
Are you tired of hearing about Heirs yet? I know, I know, there’s been a lot of news, only it’s not really that much real news, and the drama’s still months off. I wouldn’t blame you if you were sick of Heirs already and it hasn’t even begun shooting yet.
But I’m not gonna lie, I’m so totally not in that camp, because this show is probably going to be my crack of the year. At least I hope so, since I’ve had a decidedly crack-deprived year thus far and I miss the high. Some shows have produced minor buzzy effects, but nothing in the realm of the full-on, heart-pounding, I-dream-of-potential-plot-developments-at-night brand of addiction that has you craving your next hit.
Okay, Imma stop talking like a scary junkie now and move on to Heirs, which already has a pretty shiny cast of beautiful, popular, and talented stars: Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, Choi Jin-hyuk, Kim Woo-bin, and most recently Krystal. Now two more up-and-comers are in the mix, both with recent cable hits that have boosted their name recognition: Kang Haneul of Monstar and Park Hyung-shik of Nine and idol group ZE:A. (Kang Haneul is confirmed, Park Hyung-shik is not.)
This should be a great stepping stone for Kang Haneul, who will play the son of a police chief who is smart, handsome, and student body president. Soooo… just like his Monstar character? Granted, that’s not a bad type of character to reprise, since he’s currently fluttering hearts and winning over viewers as the smart, musically talented, all-around perfect Big Man On Campus. And while the Monstar character isn’t really doing it for me (I know, I tried, but his brand of disdainful hauteur keeps me from warming to him), he certainly is doing a good job in the role. As a bonus, it’s giving him lots of opportunities to show off his musical talents, which he honed first on the musical stage.
I thought Park Hyung-shik was a little green but promising in Nine, where he played the younger version of Lee Jin-wook’s time-traveling hero. He is reportedly in negotiations to work out his schedule with the show after receiving the offer and meeting with the writer. Time conflicts were supposedly why he dropped Master’s Sun recently, but Heirs will be a few months behind that show’s timetable. His would-be character is a chaebol heir, which, dur. They’re ALL heirs! That’s like saying there are rich people in Gossip Girl. Will they all have eyes and hair and speak, too?
Heirs will premiere in October.

Lols, you got that right. Regardless of the production quality this drama is going to get the ratings purely based on the fandoms alone.
That said, I would probably scrutinize a bit more harsher based on that fact. Minus all the star-power what does this production bring? I'd love a drama where it's just fun cracktastic fluffiness with the pretty and cute - but it definitely needs to be done right. Standards have been raised, audiences aren't as easy as they used to be...at least I would hope so.

This cast of HOT boys is killing me. I feel like my expectations for this drama are getting too high just by the casting alone. I'm on board watching at this point even with basically zero information about the actual plot. I do think it will be cracktastic, but I'm not sure how its going to live up to the hype I'm building in my head. Please be awesome Heirs! You seem like you have all the parts to be. Please just put it all together!

Just checked Soompi aaaand Park Hyung-shik is confirmed to be in the drama.
Anyway I like the premise it's kinda different. Normally, it's one poor character stuck in the chaebol world which is repetitive and overdone.

July 12, 2013 at 7:16 AM
That's a good point. We usually see the drama from the perspective of the outsider looking in - here, we'll be living in the chaebol world with them. Now we can find out if they actually do anything else on a daily basis besides persecute poor heroines and their families :).

I may be the only one, but I really hope the next casting news is for a talented young actress or two. So far the cast consists of five men and two women, which seems... uneven. *g*
Though I guess at least three of the men could be in love with Park Shin Hye's character, which is not an unreasonable assumption (because hey, kdrama). Hm.

"Kang Ha Neul will play the role Lee Hyo Shin, the student president who has both the brains and looks. his grandfather was a high-ranking former governmental Minister, his uncle is the President’s chief secretary, and his father is the Public Prosecutor General."
OMG his family background is really......... something.
And the agency said
"We are expecting that Park Hyung Sik will join the U.S. location setting for ‘The Heirs’ in September. Park Hyung Sik will play the role of Jo Myung Soo who is from a rich family but doesn’t care about money or prestige."
His haracter seems ok.

Just wished he'd been cast in some other roles....he's been the cold and aloof ones in quite a few dramas already. I love him in Monstar but guys with descriptions like this never go far (in kdrama world anyway).

Once again I'll say it, This writers greatest work was "City Hall" (Which still stands as #1 drama for me). But after that, I've seems to drop all of her latter works. So now I'm on the fence for this drama, although I will always check out at least one episode or a few before deciding to drop it.
I'm also on a fence because so much pretty boys are being cast in ONE drama. I'm not one to complain about having eye candy, but I don't want the Writer/Producers to try and use these pretty men to make up for the lack of script and directing.
Now for the major matter at hand, which is the two leads. Lee Min Ho needs to come and he needs to come strong. I last watched him in FAITH and I must say he was horrible. But since I liked him in BOF and Personal taste, I'll give Heirs a chance. And I guess he is good at playing rich roles, so I think he will be OK. Now for Park Shin-hye, "Sigh" PLZ make her character STRONG. Last watched her was in You're Beautiful and although I did manged to finish it. I wanted to grab her and tell her to stop crying so darn much. Skipped Heart String because I knew she would have cried a river there.
My only attraction at the moment is Choi Jin-hyuk aka Papa Gu. Yep, Yep, He's FINE/SEXY as a faction. He needs to get his own drama.

I'm still on the fence about this drama, I REALLY do NOT want to see Lee Min Ho playing an 18 year old again. I've not seen any of the other actors' dramas, so I won't comment. I loved Lee Min Ho in City Hunter and found him weirdly annoying in Personal Taste. Is it too much to hope for that KES makes them college students instead? Also I've heard PSH is a bad actress, but I hope her character isn't as annoying is Jan Di.

My best hope is that the story will quickly skim through the high school part once they have established the relationship and laid the foundation for the main story.
Similarly, you may also have heard that she is a good actress too. Best thing would be to wait and judge yourself. Instead of people's opinion I would just like to quote the famous golden lion award winning director of 'Pieta' praising her performance after watching her TMOR7, "........the recent most glamorous actress and perhaps South Korea's top actress with unshakeable position in the near future."

Then again, fans rejoice, you've got one less person to fight for him! Maybe this will be the role that makes me a fan, but I don't see myself crushing on him like I will with some of the secondary guys in this drama *cough Choi Jin Hyuk cough*

I'm really excited about Kang Haneul, because I like him in Monstar, and he's really good at playing that type of character. I mean, wasn't his character in To the Beautiful You similar as well? I like him a lot, and think he's making some pretty good career choices. I mean, I may not be that big a fan of this writer (although I did like A Gentleman's Dignity) but actors really like to work in her dramas, don't they?
I'm not familiar with the other guy. I don't even listen to his Kpop group. So, I don't really care if he joins or not, though I'm sure he will.
I don't get tired of hearing about this show. I'm actually looking forward to it. While Secret Garden was a huge disappointment to me, after I've heard so many rave reviews about it, A Gentleman's Dignity was really good. At least I thought so. On the surface, if you didn't delve to deeply into characterizations. But it was cute and a nice crack drama for the middle of the year. I'm sure heirs will be pretty similar. Because we're getting some solid young actors for it. Most of whom I like quite a bit.
Now we just need to hear about these kids parents. I think it would be really cool if Lee Min-ho's City Hunter Daddy to play his daddy in this. I liked their scenes together in City Hunter.
Anyway, I really am looking forward to this.

We have no idea how this drama is going to play out. We all have seen shows that seem like they will be awesome become incredible piles of wtf and had other shows sneak up on us and whack us in the face with the happymaking.
I have a TON of pros and cons to weigh on this show and it's way too early days for me to decide it's not going to work for me. There is no definite deal breaker for me yet.

I think it is hilarious that people are saying they are tired of this show already. Like, how? Is some mystical being shoving this show down your throats, possessing your body and making you click on articles about it? How are you tired of it already?
I don't even pay attention to actors or dramas I am not interested in. So there is no overexposure for me. So I get puzzled when I hear people say they get tired of Korean dramas. I mean it is not like they are advertising this show on your radio stations, and on your television. You don't get news about it unless you actually click an article about it. LMAO
I hope it is a good drama. But I also know that a good drama has to have good acting, a good script and great directing. So, I hope the trifecta will be present for this drama.
So far I am loving Cruel City, and I will wait for IHYV to end before I watch it, because if it is as addictive as some say, I will hate having to wait each week for a new episode. I hope everyone will find great dramas to watch while we wait for Heirs.
Happy Kdrama watching everyone!

lmao i love how everyone is saying it's a potential HOT mess but still gonna be cracktastic.
I wouldn't guarantee either.
disappointment is going to hit people like a ton of bricks when this project ends up not being as big or crack-like as people assume. esp with all the hype (and boy, this show knows how to garner hype with all the names now attached to this project)
It could end up substantially good, or it could end up meh.
Just like a writer/director's winning streak could be stopped with a total dud, maybe one might end up being a complete winner (city hall, im looking at you.)
Yes, the premise is a recipe for disaster and the writer doesn't have a resume where we could assume otherwise -- but we all have been burned or pleasantly surprised by any project. Remember not to get your hopes up too high or too low, either!
