The Heirs
“Who said being a rich, beautiful high school student was easy?”
Original title: 상속자들
A chance meeting in Los Angeles turns out to have life-altering consequences once Kim Tan and Cha Eun-sang cross paths again at Korea's most exclusive high school, a gilded pressure cooker built for the children of the country's wealthiest families. Lee Min-ho plays Tan with brooding, possessive intensity, while Park Shin-hye's Eun-sang navigates a campus where her working-class background makes her an instant target. Kim Woo-bin's rival heir complicates the triangle with his own wounded arrogance, and Kim Ji-won and Kang Min-hyuk round out a student body defined as much by inheritance as by ambition. It's K-drama at its most glossily melodramatic, wringing real feeling out of class conflict dressed up in designer clothes.
