***WARNING THIS IS A REVIEW NOT A RECAP***
Ahhhhh Heirs, how I love thee. Although this episode had many, many, many cliches (mainly between Kim Tan and Eun Sang) something about this drama has me hooked. There were a couple of things that agitated me though:
1. Kim Tan revealing himself as the son of Jesouk group towards the end of the episode. Like seriously? This is something that was prolonged and took up a good chunk of time. This could have easily been resolved the beginning of the episode and maybe we could have got more Young Do and Eun Sang interaction smh.
2. Eun Sang's over emotional response to Kim Tan telling her that they live together. I thought of many reasons why one would be THAT upset in this situation but could not come up with any valid reason. I was very confused and super annoyed. This situation stayed up WAY past its bed time.
3. This isn't something that annoyed me persay it's just that Kim Tan turned into a completely
different person this episode with his interations with Eun Sang. For example when he was trying to get her number and came to the coffee shop, It was giving me Joo Won and Gil Ra Im from Secret Garden WAY TOO MUCH.
4. The cliche battle at the end of the episode where Eun Sang is not paying attention and walks right in between Kim Tan and Young Do... Like really? Did you NOT see everybody run towards that direction, and fill in the blanks that Kim Tan was gonna go to your school and did you not notice that it was suuuuuuuuuper quiet besides two guys talking and that there was a massive CIRCLE AHHHHHHHHGURHHHHHHHKLAJOEIRJENLGFEKFN!!!! Stuff like that guys, seriously! Things that would NEVER happen. But this is a korean drama...
Okay now to the fun part! What I really enjoyed about this episode:
1. Manager Yoon. I love how he is real and not a typical uppity employee of the wealthy like we see in korean dramas. He keeps it real and I really enjoy his scenes. I also love the love triangle between him, Rachel's mother, and Young Do's dad. Some people think it's overwhelming but I LOVE IT. It adds another interesting sub plot to the already interesting plot. I ship them so hard. Do I smell an affair?
2. I adore Lee Min Ho's outfits! Some people went in on him because of his sweaters but personally, I adore vintage fashion so I was all for it! It reminded me of his stylish wardrobe in Personal Taste. I adore it. I adore it. I adore it. Super Stylish Senior Citizen is what these clothes give me.
3. Kim Tan chasing Eun Sang around trying to get her number and to get her to talk to him. This was included in my above list I am aware but as much as I rationally dislike the repition of character traits in this writers male leads - I really love it! I can't help but giggle like a four year old when he is playfully teasing her and following her around.
4. When Chan Young tried Bo Na with “Is it G.O.D’s ‘Lie’? Big Bang’s ‘Lie’? T-ara’s ‘Lie’?” That made me laugh. out. loud.
5. I've always loved the concept of a whole bunch of rich kids going to one school. Books like gossip girl and shows like 90210 were barely filling this void until I stumbled upon my first drama Hana Yori Dango... And as much as people say it is cliche with the whole rich students, rich families, rich future and poor students, poor families, poor future - I think it's interesting. I am not from Korea or Asia so this is a foriegn and fairy tale concept to me. In America, everyone can dream and believe that they too can accomplish the American Dream. We have so many singers, athletes, writers, talk show hosts, actors, actresses, producers, directors, etc. who literally came from nothing and we look up to them while we tend to look down upon heirs and heiresses who don't make their own money such as Paris Hilton when she first came out. We tend to judge people by actions and not their background ( In American media).
6. And my absolute favorite thing about this episode is Young Do. Kim Won Bin has such a unique look that I love just watching him when he comes on screen just because. He also has amazing facial expressions and I can immediately tell his emotions just by looking at him. I love that. He plays this role so well plus his character is so interesting. With those high arched eyebrows and carefree smirk he was born to play bullies. Not that I am complaining ;). I really enjoy watching his infatuation with Eun Sang develop and I can not wait until I can watch what is going to unfold between him and Tan. And OMG I love when he blocked her on his bike and she told him that he needed to move so she could go home and he said that out of this entire road you're telling me there is no where else you can walk to head home? I love that - it literally made me laugh. It's so true though. So many times in dramas the girls say that and I say the same thing as Young Do in my head lol.
Love is love is love is love is feelang!!!!!!
Talk to you guys tomorrow night :D Besos.
