i just started Heirs and there's a lot of crying in the first 30 minutes. like a lot.
so far, there's nothing about this drama -- other than a whole line up of really bad english-speaking actors, and uncomfortably spoken english from some of the korean actors -- that is any different from other story lines (it's ok Lee Min Ho, you're still tall and that's like super important in kdrama world). plus, i, in no way, want to discourage the korean drama world from featuring english in the shows (it's adorable), and they filmed heirs like 7 hours from my house...so i was almost able to lick his face...please film in california again, korean drama overlords. make it happen.
Heirs reminds me in particular of Coffee Prince (<3) because the main female lead is a fried chicken delivery person and struggling to make ends meet for her mom and sister. there must not be an in-between in korea: you're either poor and must deliver chicken to hungry, attractive men or you're the daughter of a business mogul and wear really high heels.
korea is awesome.
as a side note, Lee Min Ho should probably stop fucking with his face now. i can understand a little nip and tuck to get his career going (i saw young LMH in Mackeral Run…cute, but nip-and-tuck away, i say)
and really, *high five* to the surgeon that brought him on board the plastic-persuasion-pretty-faces-club in City Hunter, because i'd like to shake that man's hand and then put his magical phalanges to work on my mug
but enough is enough. too many tweaks, LMH, and your face is going to be pure plastic -- or as i would say MAGNIFICENTLY PERFECTLY PLASTIC PAAAAA-YEAHHH.
stop it! the plastic perfection hurts my eyes
…and oddly enough, makes me crave a crunchy plastic water bottle.
anyone else thirsty?
anyway, my plastic radar also sounded off at the beautiful sighting of Kim Woo-Bin.
his face had an odd shine to it in the opening scene we see him in, and leads me to believe that there is new, cutting-edge technology that literally allows surgeons to inject shiny plastic -- like the kind children's toys and fake christmas trees are made of -- into our skin. GIVE IT TO ME.
stay tuned for my thoughts on episode 2!
hana, dul, set! press play.
so true!
