if it weren't for the fact that everyone's so pretty in Heirs (that's how all kdramas get you!), i may have gotten bored of the show already -- though to be fair, i usually don't get really into a drama until a handful of episodes in. so i'll probably love Heirs as much as i love my mother. and that's like almost as much as i loved Boys Over Flowers.
plus, the sets and surroundings are gorgeous, too. it's fun to see california and america, in general, as the backdrop of a korean drama. i wonder if the american actors they hired had any idea who they were standing next to.
there's one scene where LMH's blonde surfer friend (easily the worst actor in the entire series) lays his arms around LMH's broad, sexy shoulders and taps his barehand on LMH's magical unicorn chest.
amazeballs. had he ran his fingertips across LMH's filler-stuffed face, i would have died with raging envy.
i wish everyone in Heirs had a little more facial expressions as the scenes are played out, but i understand: a wiggle of the eyebrows isn't always feasible for the plastic perfect and that's ok.
i hope the pacing of the show picks up a bit as i move forward in the episodes. i think so far it's been a lot of story set up:
- he's filthy rich but unhappy because of mama issues, but he's tall
- she's poor but a great spirit who is loved by every man who lays eyes on her -- but yet, her life is like really hard, y'all
- there's this one dude who's rich but -- according to his permanently furrowed brows -- is a angry elf who probably just wants to be loved (i love that Kim Woo Bin's ears are always a different color from the rest of his face bc of all the caked-on foundation. it's the best)
- and then there's the cute best friend who will do everything for the girl but will probably serve as that chair in the living room no one sits in
also, i loved when they were driving on the california highway with a new jersey license plate. new jersey is just next door. it makes total sense.
hana, dul, set! press play.
