The Heirs was my favorite Korean drama that SBS Korea has been aired so far. It aired from October 9, 2013 to December 12, 2013. Its special was aired last December 25, 2013 as a Christmas gift to the fans of this drama. It starred Lee Minho as Kim Tan, Park Shin Hye as Cha Eun Sang, and Kim Woo Bin as Choi Young Do.

This drama is indeed star-studded, including CNBlue member Kang Min hyuk as Yoon Chan-young (Eun Sang's best friend) and f(x) member Krystal Jung as Lee Bona (Chan-young's girlfriend and Kim Tan's ex-girlfriend). The former cast of To The Beautiful You namely Kang Ha-neul (as Lee Hyo-shin) and Kim Ji-won (as Rachel Yoo) was also included in the star-studded cast of The Heirs.

It was hard for Kim Tan balancing his love for Eun Sang and his duty as the future heir of the Empire Group. Since he has an elder brother who chose duty over love, he chose love over duty. So he did the right decision.

For me this drama is not boring. I really love how the cast portrayed the characters so well, making that portrayal seemed deep that you'll understand from time to time as the story progresses.
As a fan of this drama, I purchased the first original soundtrack which "Moment" was sung by Changmin of the Korean boy group 2AM and ordered dream catcher that is exactly the same as it was featured in the drama.

The Heirs was indeed a phenomenal Korean drama that received love from fans and viewers all over the world. The news of this drama to be premiered in the big screen next year has been confirmed but its further details has not yet available. I hope that the original cast will reunite and reprise their roles for the movie version. Also I hope that the story will be the continuation of the TV drama which tackles the challenges of the relationship between Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang before and after the marriage.
While we are waiting for its movie version, The Heirs will air on the Philippine throwback channel Jeepney TV (Sky Cable Channel 9) starting December 28, 2015, Monday at 11:15am. Last May 26, 2014, this drama was first aired in ABS-CBN. Filipino fans of Lee Minho and Park Shin Hye are surely happy that they'll be able to watch again after they requested to re-air it again on the official Facebook page of ABS-CBN Kapamilyanovelas.
