Young Do also made strides in his turn towards the good side inasmuch as he doesn’t immediately throw Eun Sang to the wolves and actually seem to be moved by her lot in life. That’s way more meaningful than trying to be with Eun Sang. I grew to love him a bit more knowing that part of his impetus to out his own birth secret is to stand up for his mom. It’s hard to quantify what this drama is trying to say because ultimately Tan is just a kid still and there is years ahead of him to live his life accordingly to his own hopes and dreams.

Eun Sang does, but she and her mother are like insignificant flies that can be squashed by any powerful party. Tan makes the opposite decision but he’s also working in a vacuum.ĭoes he really understand what’s on the line for him and even for his mom? Does he comprehend the far reaching consequences of letting the cat out of the bag? I enjoyed watching Tan step up and do something after putting thought into it, I just worry that he has no real understanding of what he’s up against. It also hurts that Won appears to pick inheritance over all else so it’s hard to root for a couple when one half isn’t even trying. I wish I understood him better, or at least if the drama actually showed us Won and Hyun Joo falling in love along with their happy times together, because right now I get their angst but I don’t feel it.

Won and Hyun Joo’s maybe-kinda-sorta relationship got dragged to the front line by Chairman Daddy and now Won has to make a choice. I like that the stakes are finally on the table for almost every major conflict. Let’s hope this sticks rather than being a one time deal. This was the first time that I saw a smidge of character development on all major fronts, and even if it took 12 episodes that’s better than never. It also helped immensely that the protracted staring was kept to a minimum, though sadly there was no commensurate improvement on the kissing front. This was the most substantive episode of Heirs/The Inheritors to date.
