Too Linear Timeline Prefix

K-Drama with a too linear timeline prefix, a boring storyline, because unlike the usual K-Drama storyline that often alternates flash back and future, giving a sense of an interesting plot twist.

Royal Loader (Imposible Heir) is a 2024 K-Drama that tells the story of a power struggle among the heirs of a Korean conglomerate. The drama stars Lee Jae Wook, Lee Jun Young and Hong Suzu as the main leads, who are involved in a love triangle and a scheme to take over the company. The drama is directed by Min Yeon Hong and written by Choi Won.

The drama follows the life of Kang In Ha (Lee Jun Young), an illegitimate son of the chairman of Kang Oh Group, who leaves his poverty behind and joins forces with his childhood friend Han Tae Oh (Lee Jae Wook), they work together to claim Kang In Ha's rightful place at the top of society. Together, they plan to overthrow the other candidates for the throne, including Kang In Joo (Han Sang Jin), the chairman's first son and In Ha's half-brother. However, their ambition is challenged by Na Hye Won (Hong Suzu), a woman with a troubled past who has her own agenda.

The drama is a stereotypes story that explores the themes of class conflict, power struggle, tough past, conglomerate, scheme, ambition, betrayal and suspense. It also contrasts the lives of the 'golden spoon' and the 'dirt spoon', showing how they clash and cooperate in their pursuit of success. The drama has received positive reviews from critics and viewers alike, who praised its gripping plot, stellar cast, high production value and realistic portrayal of the dark side of society.

The drama has some flaws, however. One of them is the too linear timeline that makes the story predictable and less exciting. Unlike other K-Dramas that often use flashbacks and flashforwards to create plot twists and suspense, Royal Loader (Imposible Heir) sticks to a chronological order that reveals everything upfront. This makes the viewers lose interest and curiosity as they already know what will happen next. Another flaw is the boring storyline that relies on clichés and stereotypes. The drama uses many tropes that are common in K-Dramas, such as the illegitimate child, the chaebol family feud, the love triangle, the childhood friends turned enemies, etc. These tropes make the drama lack originality and creativity, as they have been seen before in many other dramas.

So, Royal Loader (Imposible Heir) is a K-Drama that has its strengths and weaknesses. It is a well-made drama that showcases the talents of its cast and crew, but it also suffers from a lackluster plot that fails to surprise and impress.

It is a drama that can be enjoyed by fans of thrillers and business dramas, but it may not appeal to those who are looking for something fresh and innovative.
