The Heirs" Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye's
love story ended in happiness. On the final episode of the SBS drama
"The Heirs", Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho) and Cha Eun-sang (Park
Shin-hye) ended in happiness. Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) and Kim Tan stood up
against their stepmother Jeong Ji-sook.
'The Heirs' season 1 premiered
in Korea on SBS on October 9, 2013. ... He added that he would be
part of a “mysterious big project.” And since his military service concludes in
2019 and if by the mysterious project, he means 'The Heirs', we
might have a 'The Heirs' season 2 by 2020.
One of the reasons Heirs has so much
attention and is one of the most watched K-drama is due to their cast. The
leading man is played by Lee Minho, who is a heart throb in Korea. ... I
honestly just can't press how amazing it is to have Lee Minho and Park Shin-Hye
in a drama together! It's a big deal!
Heirs is definitely a good drama to
watch if you want to watch something that is entertaining. I personally love
the concept of star crossed lovers and the love-will-hurt feel in romance dramas and
this definitely relayed that. For me the first few episodes of the drama really
set the scene.
