Poor script and bad directing. Waste of talented actors.
I like this type of stories - competition, love triangles, crimes, revenge, big corporation, etc but here the script was really too bad. Jumping from one story line to another, unfinished ends (like what happened to Michael Chang from « H Investment »??), roles are not developed (what was the purpose of FL?). Very very sloppy job, what a pity. The actors were great by the way, but their talent was wasted.Was this review helpful to you?
well…
I am 100% torn about this drama. parts I loved. parts I hated. I wish the drama would have gone in a different direction than it did but the last episode was surprisingly good given that I had my doubts in between.the love triangle was unnecessary af in my opinion and I am glad they ended things the way they did.
can’t recommend and also can recommend. this is a tricky one.
my favourite part was Kang In Ha though. the way the actor played this role. extraordinary! seriously can’t get over how great he was!

I couldn’t stop watching! Not perfect but worth it!
The Plot and story will keep you engaged. By the 3rd or 4th episode it’s an edge of your seat binger! The ML’s are Perfect! They have an electric chemistry and are fantastic actors. Most of the supporting cast are also amazing. The Director did an amazing job Directing all of the male actors I must say… but the FL and a couple other female supporting actors fell short on projection of their role. I am one that loves to support my fellow ladies, but I have to agree with some of the other reviews concerning the FL there were moments you didn’t believe her. I truly recommend this series. The chemistry between characters, from multiple sides is incredible! Great story and Great Job! I would rewatch the series…. But I would probably fast forward all the parts with the FL and 2nd FL. Hope this helps!Was this review helpful to you?

Unnecessary Love Triangle
If this series omitted Na Hyewon the series would’ve been fine. She can be an afterthought character like the first son’s wife for all the impact the had. The hacker had way more significance than her.Inha is an idiot who tried to killed the golden goose, Taeoh, so he got what he deserved. Killing himself was too good of an ending for him. I would’ve liked the chairman to pay someone to shank him just to the cusp of death, heal and get beaten on a regular basis for
1. Sending his best friend/loyal dog to jail
2. Stealing his best friend’s girl
3. Killing his brother
4. Sending some to shank his other loyal dog
5. attempted murder of his father 2x
6. Choking his wife because he’s jealous after he stole her from his bestie
7. Treating the kindest loyal friends like dogs for emotional and criminal support
8. Just being a POS
9. Killing Taeoh’s mom
10. Being shady AF
Taeoh gets an award for being the most loyal friend who serve an undeserving person. I am glad he and Hyewon didn’t get together. He should get with Huijui after she’s traveled the world and grown up a bit.
The chairman is a domineering narcissist but he would not be the chairman if he wasn’t.
I want to like this series more but NaHyewan ruined it for me. It took me a while to finish it as a t was intense but flow was so inconsistent due to Na Hyewon ruining the flow with completely unnecessary scenes. I think most people would score this series higher if she wasn’t in it.

Why can't the women act
Everyone was annoyed with the FL but honestly, none of the women gave 100% and were generally annoying. It felt like they were just there.Choi Hee Jin probably did the best but overall, still underwhelming.The story had so much potential but you have to wade through 6 episodes before it really gets watch worthy. It really could have been developed so much better but it just lacked something until the end.
Lee Jun Young and Lee Jae Woo absolutely killed their characters. Luckily, they were the only reason I stuck it out and in the end, I'm glad I did. Definitely not a thriller and was almost predictable. I ended up fast forwarding through so much of the first 6 episodes that I didn't miss a thing.
If you like out two main ML's, it's worth the watch but be prepared to want to move through the episode quickly.

High Hopes, Disappointing Outcome
Impossible Heir turned out to be quite different from what I had anticipated. Going into it, my expectations were high, fueled by anticipation for a drama that promised an intriguing storyline. Unfortunately, the series fell short of those expectations, leading to a sense of disappointment. One of the main aspects that contributed to my dissatisfaction was the portrayal of the FL. Her character didn't resonate with me, which significantly impacted my overall enjoyment of the drama. While the premise of the drama had potential, the execution and character development, particularly regarding the FL, left much to be desired.Was this review helpful to you?

King Maker becomes the King....
The ending was satisfying ... but it wasn't impactful enough?? I'm so glad that Tae Oh and Hye Won didn't end up together. Thank goodness, I was silently wishing the entire last two episodes for them not to end up together, or otherwise I'd really be disappointed.Umm.... I'm actually glad it's over..... but what make me so sad is all the effort that went to waste. The acting was good, the directors were good, but the writer was just shit, making it all go to waste. Lee Jae Wook in Suits for almost 10 episodes was a candy to the eyes... but that's it..... that's the only thing that got me going until the 12the epi.
The story overall is told in a very shallow way and made complicated uselessly, when it could have been told in a much simpler way, especially HTO's king-making road.
And at the end of last episode, I can understand why the chairman made HTO the heir, I mean he was the one who was capable enough to protect the company and also save his life. But Seunju?? He just has a sudden realization that he didn't want all that....like really? And what??... We don't even get an explanation as to why In Ha did to what he did?? So many loose ends.
I hope Lee Jae Wook will get a better project next time...

A daunting drama
This drama really stirs different emotions in me. It is typically a story about two young men, In Ha is rich but rejected by his family and Tae Oh is poor but ambitious and intelligent, who grew up together as best friends. Initially brought together under the goal of being on top of the world but things will inevitably change when a young woman, Hye Won, comes between the two.I'm frustrated that an actress was added to play this role, giving us a love triangle that we already know is going to end in heartbreak when we see that she deliberately chooses the one with the most money instead of the one she loves. This will not only strain the beautiful friendship between the two men, but also break their hearts individually.
In terms of chemistry, I also think the casting is bad. Hye Won has none with any of the cast. Felt like Hee Joo, Ih Na's little sister had more with Tae Oh even though he's supposed to be cold to her, which says a lot.
As for the story, it's interesting but not really very creative, rich people fighting for the succession of a huge corporation, some intrigues, childish behaviors displayed, lies. It reminds me a little of "Reborn Rich".
All this series showed me is that Lee Jae Wook should delve into more dramatic, mysterious or action roles, he's really great.

she cant showcase emotion or maybe its just her face?
the story is kinda fast moving . Hong soju's character lacks everything even chemistry with main lead. i think viewer dont want the characters to end up together.
and whats wrong with tae oh? why is he a loyal dog? why he had to be a dog in the first place? it needs explaining. His backstory is kinda missed out.

It is impossible not to like this drama. Don’t wait to binge this one.
The Impossible Heir Business Life Mystery Romance DramaWhat Universe are people living in, who would give Impossible Heirs a very low rating? It is almost like I am asking myself “Are they looking at the same thing I am viewing?” The Story is intense, edgy, realistic and exciting, with great music and fashion. It has an unpredictable storyline and is well written. I see Impossible Heir in the top three for the season, based on its fine technical criteria and quality of the acting. The angst between the two leads is incredible. The Drama Twist sets Impossible Heirs apart from other dramas. Am I being punk’d? See if you can disregard the low scorers so that you don’t miss out on this great drama series.
A lone teenager named Han Tae-O (Lee Jae-wook, Alchemy of Souls) drifts into town. This town is where his mom is from. There is a great mystery shrouding who he really is and what are his true ambitions. He is appalled at how the whole town kowtows to the local Chaebol and his family. Han Tae-O has a run-in with the teen son of the Chaebol. The son is Kang In-Ha (K-pop from U-KISS Lee Jun-young, Weak Hero Class 2) and you have not seen this amount of testosterone hit the TV screen in a while. Nonetheless, these two eventually become friends in the weirdest way. Han Tae-O’s focus is on some unproclaimed mission. He meets a girl (Hong Su Zu), but she is not part of his master plan. However, both friends become rivals for her affection.
I am sitting in my chair viewing the first two episode saying to myself, “Oh Boy, this is really good”. The Impossible Heir is one to keep on the radar. It has just started (2024), but I am truly excited. The plot is upper level storytelling, on the order of Reborn Rich. So far Lee Jun-young is stealing the show. However, I am sure that as the meatier parts of the story unfolds Lee Jae-wook will make his acting statement. The story covers about 12-15 years of life. I will have to see how this one turns out. Clear up some head space for this drama too. You will experience lots of Head Talk. The Impossible Heir is on Hulu.

FL acting ?
I don't usually have any interest in Revenge drama which has little to no romance or dramas where we have to use too much Brain but somehow this drama wasn't really bad. I have watched till ep 6 and am actually interested to find out what will happen next.However. The female leads acting is reallyyyyy bad , no REALLY. Trust me. She literally feels like a lifeless doll. No expression just plain bland face. (?️??️ ) Almost like this ( This also seems more expressive than her) . Moreover she seems to have no chemistry with either of the ML(?) Why did both the mls even like her , I can't even figure out. They suddenly decided to like her so much one day , that's all I can understand.
Lee jae wook and other ML are great actors. They have no flaws.
This is not the best dramas I have watched but it's still smth.
