The Heirs: A Must Watch or Not?



Everyone waited for the release of The Heirs. Although I promised myself that I won't watch it since it'd be mainstream, because of Kim Woo Bin, I decided to watch it.

[SPOILERS, maybe]

I think "Heirs" is wasting too much time on slowmo's of Kim Tan and Eun Sang. I don't even look at the screen when they're having a slowmo moment or whatever. I think Young Do is a better pair for Eun Sang---but Eun Sang doesn't deserve him--he's too cute for her when he's in love. And then there's Bo Na and Chan Young--the cutest annoying clingy couple of the year, Kim Tan's mother and Eun Sang's mother...Myung Soo too. If it weren't for them I wouldn't last 'til episode 16. = v = I don't feel a thing when Kim Tan or Eun Sang cries.

So you might ask, is it a must watch? In my opinion, not so much. Unless you're a big fan of any of the cast.

TWO REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD NOT WATCH THE HEIRS:

1. Kim Tan and Eun Sang's love story develops too fast.
In my opinion, the development of Young Do's feelings towards Eun Sang is more natural and has more potential. Also, Kim Tan does everything just 'cause he feels like it. They also have a lot of slowmo's together, staring, walking--it's a waste of time. Also, Young Do saw Eun Sang first. I think it's really weird, also Young Do's reactions are interesting when he's showing his affection. He's so cute when he's in love.

2. The cuts after each episode are boring.
When I watched School 2013, I couldn't stop after the episode finished because of cliffhangers. After each problem was solved, another would appear before the episode ends so it's impossible to not want to watch the next episode ASAP. Meanwhile, each episode of Heirs end at a dull time, the "falling action" of each episode which is really... discouraging. As if Kim Tan and Eun Sang's love story wasn't boring enough.

3. Bo Na's English is better than Rachel/Rael's
Everyone's English is terrible---except for Krystal / Lee Bo Na, her English is awesome and she should at least have been placed in a higher ranking family. Does it make sense that Rachel / Rael knew how to use English since she was 8 or 10 but Bo Na speaks better than her? At first I thought "Rachel/Rael"'s English was good when she said "open the door" in Episode 1, but I was wrong. Her English isn't that good.

The people in Jeguk High also spoke in English but oh my glob they were terrible. No one matched Bo Na's English at all. Bo Na is awesome.

REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH IT
1. Choi Young Do
He's annoying. He has issues, BUT: he is so cute when he's in love. His sense of humor is also good. Also his theme song is badass.
2.Kim Tan's Mother and Eun Sang's Mother
At first, Kim Tan's mother was annoying---since she was always drinking and bullying Eun Sang's mother. But as you watch, you'd realize that she's an amusing person to watch haha! Kim Tan's mother and Eun Sang's mother and their bond is special.
3. Lee Bon Na and Yoon Chan Young
Bo Na's a clingy girlfriend. Chan Young is the tolerant boyfriend who finds everything that Bo Na does cute. They're so cute when they're together. So annoyingly cute.
4. Myungsoo (not the one from infinite)
He's always with his camera and he's always being funny.There was this episode when he called Young Do "oppa" because he said he was the youngest daughter of the family.
5. Kim Tan and his Hyung
I can't wait to see them make-up.
6. Eun Sang's Mother and her sign language

Yume Recommends: School 2013

오늘 밤...아니...오늘... 아침 ㅋㅋㅋ 이미 아침이당~ 드디어 학교2013라는 영화를 다 봤는다! 너무 너무 너무 좋아해! Tonight--- I mean, this morning? I finally finish watching all of School 2013 (학교2013)! I really really like it. My feelings for this show were overflowing the entire time, though I must admit my emotions had been strange--- laughing at some emotional parts, feeling fluffy from all of the shipping possibilities---School 2013 is a really good series to watch if you're up for friendship, daily life and school genre.



School 2013 will make you laugh, cry, angry, inspired and so on. You shall explode with "feels" as you ship one person to another (there are infinite possibilities jk).  It's all about friendship, school and the trials that comes with it. 무서운 부분 보면, 걱정하지 마세요. There's a events that would make your heart beat so fast, almost wanting to stop watching---or continue watching until all the tension is over. The series progresses with one tension at a time. Friendships develop, new friendships are born and old friends will reconcile. Even if this isn't your genre, try finishing an episode. You will definitely enjoy it--we're all been students after all. Note, don't expect any "romance", however Nam Soon and Heung Soo's relationship is more than enough to fill for that. 

Nam Soon
seriously what's with the longing look *squeals*
with a broom so bright. I failed to capture his expression.
pff so cute.

HeungSoo


SHIPS! [spoilers?]

 The Homeroom Teachers 



Other Ships (lol yeah, ships--shipping)

And of course...
HeungSoo and NamSoon
basically a couple *cough* with a pride-based problem. 
severed friendship. it's heart breaking really.
(though I was laughing and squealing from feels the entire time)

But don't worry. Of course they'll make up. :))
Those happy moments on Episode 10
they forgot they weren't supposed to be smiling together.

HeungSoo saves NamSoon by saying they're making up
but... it wasn't for free. Poor NamSoon!

we're making up right?
Both of their expressions are adorable. 
(Also I think that's Jung Ho on the bottom left)



I hate it when HeungSoo smiles like that ._. So cute.

NamSoon's expression after comparing their gang to Jung Ho's

And behold: one of the sweetest moments.
THEY'RE SO CUTE.

The Extended Family
(Nam Soon and Heung Soo are the hyungs)

All of the actors and actresses did a really great job. It's a really moving show. The guy who played Jung Ho also played a role in Shut Up Flower Boy Band, a complete 180% change! I watched Jang Nara for the second time. Lee Jungsuk for the second time (we all remember him from Secret Garden right?) and the Vice President from Rooftop Prince---she's also good. The Principal too (from Secret Garden, Rooftop Prince).
