Heirs: Episodes 16 - 17. Kim Woo-Bin's forehead won me over.

the writers of Heirs really should have had what happens in episodes 16–17 occur earlier in the series. it would have kept the audience way more engaged instead of viewers rolling their eyes midway through because it was more of the same (crying, some creepy stalking, a ubiquitous dream catcher, and more crying). 

not the slightest bit creepy, right? CES's face says she kinda agrees.

after Kim Woo-Bin released his bangs and shielded the evil that was emanating from his bare forehead, he became so much more likable and cute. i found myself cheering for him after cha eun sang moved off to wherever that beach-exile place was with the book store.

at the police station after KWB found her and hugged the bejeesus out of her, and when he went to see her and instead ate with CES's mother, i squealed and thought i'd be totally okay if the storyline casted my beautiful plastic pony Lee Min Ho aside and had KWB and CES get together and make pretty pale babies. 

this made the show a little more exciting and engaging -- though it is a bit too late since it's within the last 4 episodes of the series. this development of KWB's character and his relationship with CES should have happened earlier.

what the series had done well, however, are the few and far between subtle and touching moments such as when LMH and CES walk past each other when they're grounded in the mansion and then they -- for a brief moment -- lock hands. also, ridiculously touching and squeal worthy: when KWB runs like a madman to find LMH because his mother is about to be sent away.

be still my raging racing heart -- that KWB can run better and sexier than any little plastic pony ever could. long bangs swooshing up and down in the air, giving way to the palest and most evil forehead anyone has ever seen. give me more. and give it to me in slow-motion, please.

now let's talk about LMH's lovely filler-saturated forehead. up until episode 17, i laughed every time LMH stepped on screen because his clothes were ridiculous, his face, though it has had many tweaks, honestly just looks too old to be in high school, and his character was lackluster. but behold, in this episode when he invites CES to accompany him to the lavish birthday party thrown for him by his sinister father, his hair is noticeably different and his bare, deliciously golden forehead is released for all the world to see. 

and what a dashing, heart-stopping forehead it is. clown shirts be damned, my swoon-worthy pretty LMH is back and i want to mount him like the perfect plastic pony that he is.

clearly, Heirs set out to make known the power of foreheads.

can't wait to see how this show wraps up and who else's forehead will be revealed.

what's hiding under those bangs, Rachel? hmm?

hana, dul, set! press play.
