[mslee's thoughts] Heirs - Waiting for the Conclusion

How time flies! Two more episodes left and it's a wrap. Honestly, I haven't felt the stories of other characters in the drama and soon it will be over. I know they are just there to make it more interesting but for me, I am loving the other couples besides Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang.

Sorry, but they give the drama a cute twist and fun that makes me antipate each episode. Maybe because I know that Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang are the lead OTP so whatever is happening in their on and off/tug and pull relationship is already a given. The against all odds cliche should make me feel absorbed but the pull was from the cute childish relationship of Yoon Cha Young and Lee Bo Na. I expected to see more of them because they brighten the aura which is always moody and melancholy for our lead OTP. I am also always anticipating scenes of Kim Won and Jun Hyun Joo. I think what they have has more depth and much interesting if tackled more. I want to know how they survive all these years as a couple in hiding, although the Chairman already knew what's going on. They can't hide things from the old man. 

Another late cute couple is Rachel and Lee Hyo Shin. Actually, I never anticipated the pairing. But I was surprised to see a chemistry between them. The shock of realizing that there can be something between them is very cute. And I thought Lee Hyo Shin's unrequited love towards Jun Hyun Joo will forever hurt him. I am glad for that fleeting moment of kiss between him and Rachel for both needed someone in their lives to cheer them and let go of something they must to find their own happiness. 

Maybe Heirs needs additional episodes if their stories will be told. Sadly, I just have to be contented of their stories as presented. I wonder what will happen to Young Do? I love how in the last episode he helped Kim Tan's mother to find Kim Tan. It was a touching scene. It was too late for Young Do but not for Kim Tan. And I know Young Do had done it out of the goodness of his heart.

If only the pacing was not so slow. I understand the confusion both Kim Tan and Cha Eun Sang are undergoing. They are minors and don't have the power to decide on their own. I think Tan's emotions are overpowering his sensible mind. That's where Kim Won differs from him. I think Won used his logical mind to outwit his father and at the same time protect Hyun Joo. 

Two more episodes and I am seeing that Tan's standing up for Eun Sang in the next episode will make it or break it for them. Either he wins or he loose to his father. One thing that made me smile though is that the bond between him and Won seems to be getting smoother.

As I wait for the final episodes, I hope more scenes of Won and Hyun Joo will be added and Rachel and Hyo Shin will be closer. Young Do may be left alone which will be sad but then I think his character turned a full circle from the childish one to a mature one. And it is all because of Eun Sang.
