DEABAK !!! I am enable to find a single word to express my feelings towards this drama. ????????
Awesome plot...I just love how the story improves in every episode and leads to meaningful ending. It keeps you excited after each episode. It will make you love, laugh & cry. Really so amazing cast... Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye & Kim Woo Bin.
This is the only drama where you'll fall in love with both male love interests. I really felt sad for Kim woo bin. his role, his acting, Awesome. Lead Couple is obviously awesome. I just loved lee min ho's character. PERFECT. Park Shin Hye is very talented and according her character's circumstances I like her role. Kang ha neul's character is nice. Chan yeong and Bo na was damn cute couple. And the whole cast is Amazing.????
Music is great...and the best OST, Love is the moment, Here for you.
This is a MUST WATCH show, with great cast, great acting and full of emotion. A Gem.❤️????

Don't regret it but won't watch again

This was the second k-drama I ever watched back in 2018, coming directly from Boys Over Flowers. You know the deal. My first review would have been more glowing, written behind Lee Min Ho-colored glasses. But as it was with BOF, after a few years of watching other dramas, this one is just...meh. And that's allowing some grace for its age. I honestly liked it a little less than BOF. The female lead (Park Shin Hye) was a little too "damsel in distress" and lacked emotion from the very start which was extremely annoying to me. By mid-series, I was already done with Lee Min Ho as a chaebol lead and found the second lead and his story a lot more palatable. As my title says, I don't regret finishing the series as it served its purpose to me as a gateway drama but I don't think I could ever make myself rewatch it now.

Great slice of life for socioeconomic strife and love outside of "class"

9/10 is my rating. This is a 2013 South Korean drama spanning 20 episodes (60 minutes/episode). The series follows a group of rich, privileged high school students as they are about to take over their families' business empires, overcoming difficulties and growing every step of the way.
The male lead, Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho), was exiled to the U.S. by his brother, Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) in a power play for control of the family business. Kim Tan falls in love with Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) while in the united states. Difficulties ensue as he is already engaged to a fellow heiress, Yoo Rachel (Kim Ji-won). Choi Young-do (Kim Woo-bin) was formerly Kim Tan's best friend and begins paying attention to Cha Eun-sang to annoy Tan but also winds up in love with her. Kim Tan has to choose between love and his "destiny" as a heir.

Spoiler 🚨 Elements of this reminded me of a popular American television drama called "Dallas." The interplay between the haves and have nots was interesting. The romance between the leads was Cinderella like. I liked seeing the situations for all the different characters. The extremes of wealth are not easy. Being too wealthy there are very rigid expectations and being too poor you are too busy surviving to enjoy freedom. It is exaggerated a bit but I see elements of it in the culture I am most familiar with. There are schools in the United States where the wealthy kids are an echelon above everyone else. It seems to be a way people have stratified themselves throughout the course of human history. I would have rated this even higher but there were some aspects of the ending that were not finished. I like things completely and nicely wrapped up. There is some sad throughout this drama so anyone that has issues with sad elements should be aware. It ends mostly happy though.

This has all the same tropes that every other k-drama from before 2008 had. Poor girl, rich guy, problems. It was 100% a total waste of time to watch this. I love all of the cast dearly so I really had high hopes for this but it just wasn't good.

First, the characters are totally bland. I'm sure the cast did the best they could with the material that was given but none of the characters felt like they had any depth or real personality of any kind.

Second, the story is cliche and overdone. Rich guy falls for poor girl. Rich guy has rich girl after him that makes poor girl miserable. Cute bad guy who wants poor girl and also hates rich guy. Same old shit.

Lastly, the music is my only positive note. I really like the songs but it's not enough to keep an entire series afloat.

This is one of those shows that are great to have on as background noise but, unfortunately, that's the extent of it.

I tried several times this drama watched it but after 10/12 ep i stopped...i really tried watched this show to end but i couldnt. This is same story like Boys over Flower but more boring scenes. And how its possible that Lee min Ho acting 18 year old boy again??? I like him but i dont get it. The start story its okay nothing special but okay. But after some eps start boring and you wating if happen something but not. I skip scens what was boring but i continue skip more scenes and end it. To now i cant uderstand why this drama was /is popular when is worst than Boys over flower.  Rich guy in love to poor girl, but this is girl couldnt protect nobody and yourself too. Just crying and waiting for prince. Maybe thats why i stopped this show i dont need watch the end.

If you boring and thinking if you watch it you can try it but dont except great story or something like that.

I was really really excited when I heard lee min ho is going to have a comeback in 2013 after his last 2012 drama which I loved so much, 'Faith'. But.. this drama really disappoints me soooo much. Imagine how excited I was for this, but it's such a disappointment. The only reason why i finished this drama was the cute side couple, bona and chanyoung. But too bad, this drama was overrated. To people who says that heirs is the best drama, I would never understand you. Please stop wasting your time if you are going to try this.

Sorry to say I didn't like it. If you're someone who just can't take too much drama don't watch this.                     
 Plot was okay, and little weirdish since you just don't sleep at strangers house just like that.                                    
I liked how her sister was a real b****, taking her money.                                               Acting was great, just didn't like the main actress how she was just all chill, not able to express happiness to the fullest.

I do think that this drama is a bit overrated. shadowed by amazing lineup of powerful n famous star such as Lee Min Ho, Park Shin Hye, Kim Woo Bin and couple of idols like Krystal(fx) and Min Hyuk (CNBlue). But no matter what, they did an amazing job as we all expected they would do. The expectation is high, n for me i think they met my expectation. it's just that the ending is a little bit disappointing for me. The story line is fantastic, the script is superb, but the ending is no where near any of that. it's kind of they rushing to finish the drama. But overall, i still love the drama, i still watch the drama on repeat.

i think that this is an amazing drama it made me laugh cry and just fell all types of feelings.

I loved the cast they where all amazing at playing their characters very well. I have watched al the characters in other dramas and they are really good so i wanted to see how they would be in this drama

There are some heartwarming scenes with the lead couple and some amazing scenes with Eun Sang and her mother it will make you cry.

Eun Sang and Kim Tan are soooo cute.

the only thing i did not like is how the two main leads would go back and forth i love you but i cant be with you then noo i love you i dont care.

BUT OVERALL YOU NEED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA ITS AMAZING

Alright the end has come for this story that is general about the crowns, which each high society families has to bear. It starts off with Kim Tan meeting Eun Sung, and a slow but sweet romance begins. Eun Sung then meets Young Do that produces a hidden feelings via bully and eventually a one sided love. In short, they both like her so because of several issues she ends up going to their school for the top social class. Now here is where the story goes to really share as much as possible the sacrifices, secrets and simple joys that each powerful families go through to remain in power. It almost seem like Eun Sung is the catalyst that changes so much in everyone's life. She was like a breath of fresh air for the younger generation. The end point of this story is obvious yet hiding at times that even the rich and famous have difficulties in their family life and with business. Overall the story for me was not bad, however at times I was frustrated with Eun Sung constant crying and the cliche moments

The actors are all great in their profession, but i think some of them were held back from showing what they are capable of doing. Really the star of the drama was Kim Woo Bin and Kim Sung Ryung. Also the lovers Bo Na and Chan Young were cutie and humors every moment. Therefore I recommend this drama for a simple remainder that each person should be grateful for everything they have, and not envy the rich. We live in a tough world.
