The Heirs

Currently watching: The Heirs

Firstly, let me just say that I am totally digging Park Shin Hye's dress. 

The Heirs (TH) is one drama that has been heavily publicized even months before its airing date. I can understand why there's so much hype over this because of its heavily star-studded cast. Seriously guys, it's Lee Min Ho. Honestly, I am not exactly a big fan of him but there's something about his gazes that makes you swoon and melt like butter in a hot frying pan. 

I have skipped a couple of his recent dramas such as City Hunter and Faith probably because I didn't quite fancy the heroine (yes, it plays a part sometimes). But was never once skeptical to watch TH because it's Park Shin Hye and I am a sucker for 'poor-girl-meets-rich-boy' storylines despite it being repeated in God knows how many dramas already.

At first watch TH may remind you of Boys Over Flowers. Yes, they do bear some similarities such as the 'PGMRB' storyline and it being set in high school but I think that's about it. Park Shin Hye's character is vastly different from that of Geum Jan Di. She's poor yet feisty and doesn't appear all weak, which I find Geum Jan Di to be, sometimes. Lee Min Ho's character isn't the typical mean brat (cue Goo Jun Pyo, at first). 

Am excited to watch how their story unfolds.
