Celluloid Verdict
Kim Eun-sook's chaebol fairytale is glossy, overstuffed and entirely aware of what it is selling — the plotting sags in the middle stretch, but Kim Woo-bin's wounded antagonist and the sheer star power keep it moving.

What is The Heirs about?
Sent to California to keep him out of a succession fight, the second son of a Korean conglomerate meets a scholarship student working three jobs and follows her home. Back in Seoul, both end up at Jeguk High, where classmates are ranked by their parents' holdings and a rival heir with an old grudge decides she is the perfect way to hurt him. Engagement contracts and boardroom leverage do the rest.
Critic Reviews
The Heirs (2013) Review: A Chaebol Fairytale in Uniform
★★★★☆
The Heirs is Kim Eun-sook's glossy 2013 high-school chaebol romance with Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye, overstuffed and sagging mid-run but powered by star wattage.
Yes, with reservations. A defining, addictive K-drama romance for fans of rich-boy-poor-girl stories, as long as you can forgive a saggy middle and heavy melodrama.
