I’m not much of a Korean Drama fan (I’m
more of a K-pop gal) but I’m getting hooked! After seeing all the hype over The
Heirs, I finally decided to check it out. My expectations of the drama were
quite high because of all the hype surrounding it and Lee Min Ho, who happens
to be oh so totally gorgeous! I just love his look in City Hunter! He’s like
this bad ass hunky dude! He’s just so yummy! He’s –
Okay! Back to the topic! The Heirs
disappointed me within the first forty-eight seconds. Whoever sang that English
song… Words fail to describe my feelings! I’m a stickler for correctly
pronounced words but I’m guessing the guy’s accent threw the song off so I
ignored it.
I then told myself that first
impressions are not always the right ones and that the drama will most probably
be good because Lee Minho is starring in it.
(Storyline: http://www.dramabeans.com/2013/10/heirs-episode-1/)
One minute twenty eight seconds later, I bang
my head against the table. I’ve always considered Lee Min Ho to be an amazing actor… but when he speaks in English
without any feelings I cry. Almost.
It’s like he’s saying it just for the heck of it..
But then two minutes fifty seconds
later, I’m back to admiring Lee Minho’s skills. The forlorn look on his face
and the way he said that dialogue so bluntly, it took my breath away. Okay! The
Heirs was back on track! But then the overacting white dude ruined it all. I
mean “You don’t hate them blah, blah, blah…” I think he should have paused a
little and sent Lee Minho a questioning look instead of drinking tea (or
whatever) immediately. He’s such a pathetic actor. I could have done a better
job!
Park Shin Hye’s acting leaves me
speechless! It’s ah-mazing! I love
that girl and the funky mouth her character has. *learns new tips from Cha Eun
Sung*
Thirty five minutes into the drama
I’m cringing. I’d like to slap That American dude on his face, over
exaggerating fellow that he is. How could they even cast him in the drama?
Reason number two to cringe… Lee Minho!
Stop Talking In English!
Aish! The English is killing me!
Plus all that surfing is making me sea sick!
**note: Whenever Lee Minho is talking in English, his acting
seems fake. Obviously he’s not comfortable with English scenes.
Park Shin Hye blows me away with her
acting! I bet she’s gonna be awarded for this. The way she screams, so
realistically that too! But I don’t get it! If she’s screaming her head off
aren’t people like, supposed to stare at her and give her the are-you-mental looks? And don’t people
usually give a damn when a person is crying her head off in the middle of the
road on a crowded beach? *shrugs*
Okay, now who runs off after a guy
who steals a packet of bean powder and leaves behind her suitcase of clothes
and the likes of it? I mean aren’t your clothes more valuable than bean powder
with all due respect.
And that Jay (American) dude is such
a shithead. I’m pretty sure drugs are white in color. Not yellow. *facepalm*
**Note: Police dude did a better job than the white dude in
acting
And that’s that for The Heirs
Episode one. I’m gonna check out Episode number two today. Wish me luck!
Cheers!
