So...I finished. I guess not everyone will agree with my following rant, but if I can't discuss/say how I feel about a drama honestly on MDL, where can I? XD
The only episodes I really felt that Min ho and shin hye should be/are meant to be together were episodes 1 and 2, and then episode 19. Otherwise, it was more that I was being told they should be together instead of being shown why. I didn't feel any chemistry between the two romance wise for the most part. It was more the feeling of friendship or siblings, or Tan acting like he didn't want to give up his new toy. I also didn't like how shin hye turned into a cry baby every time trouble came about or how she let min ho control everything about their relationship whenever they were together. Sure she had a few wity words, but when it came down to it, she acted meek and weak. I just got tired of it after a while. Too cliche.
Now...Woo Bin. I really enjoyed him in his role. Ok, he was a little insane and really needs to learn not to take his anger and depression out on everyone around him, but his character was more interesting to me than Min ho's. Woo Bin's character also had some amazing and believable character growth towards the end. You could actually see him maturing and accepting hard truths about himself. I also (don't hit me please) think his acting was better than Min ho's for half the series. I know...I love min ho as much as the next fangirl...but I couldn't stop my eyes from going to woo bin every time he was in a scene.
Even though tormenting a girl you like isn't cute even in elementary school, I felt more chemistry between him and shin hye than minho and shin hye. Shin Hye's character really seemed to shine when she had scenes with Woo Bin, and I like the range of emotions she showed with him. Woo Bin also knows how to emote with his eyes extremely well, which is an awesome talent for an actor to have. He's able to do more than just tear up, look angry, or sad. He projects those feelings. When he looks at shin hye you see the love, the hurt and the longing without tears or extra facial emotions. It's all in the eyes. Of course, he cries beautifully too. haha There's a difference between seeing actors say they love each other, and SEEING it in their eyes. When you've seen OTP's that pull off that look, you always notice the difference. *cough* This turned into a fangirling session somehow. XD I apologize.
Anyways, while it wasn't a horrendous drama, it wasn't really good in my opinion. It had some great scenes, and I really love the OST and actors, but it fell flat for me in a lot of ways. Maybe I'll try to rewatch it again someday when I can go in without any expectations. Maybe I decided I wouldn't like it before I even started it because of all the hype. Idk. Either way, I hope I didn't offend anyone with what I think. If you loved it or just liked it, you're not wrong. Just different people like different things. I hope to see all the actors in more dramas regardless of how I liked Heirs.
