El heredero ilegítimo

Ah i am so disappointed. Both the lead actors are so great but the script is bad. The side characters are very badly written. Entire script feels disconnected. The rich chaebols look and act like they just got rich yesterday. The background score isn't going well with the storyline. The actress shouldn't even be here. She isn't needed. Humor is there only in a few scenes. That's what got me watching. But I'm disappointed beyond measure.

I really really tried to like this series because of Lee Jae Wook. But even my love has its limits.

600 words are difficult to write for this series. I wish they had a better editor and script writer. 😭

First of all i wont blame Hong Suzu casting directors and overall production team should have had a better sense what they are doing...didnt they see rehearsals of the scenes? Or they didnt had one? Editing in this show is meh, writing is meh, the only saving grace is Choi Hee Jin and the actor who plays her brother but him turning into villian had no development like out of nowhere he turned his back on Tae Oh?! There were unnecessary time jumps god the whole script is a diaster! Well I hope in the end Choi Hee Jin gets a well deserving lead role my girl always nails her 2 min screen time which is a crime itself knowing how she steals the spotlight she has better chemistry with both male leads im sorry but i just cant feel Hong Suzu's character presence for me she's just there i wish her best hope she improves by initially taking small roles or even a supporting character that will help her a lot.

I was really afraid to watch the show cos of the reviews, but it's not that bad and I'm glad I watched it..it's not an idol drama full of romance and hearts, if you're expecting that, you'll be disappointed..it's about cooperate ambition and getting to the top..there are few plot holes and the main actress acting is not good, but I liked the show overall.

I like the two main male leads lee Jae wook and the other guy and their chemistry. The chairman appears more often than the two female leads lol, and their isn't much romance though. They could've done more with the romance instead of focusing on the cooperate side..

Started this drama because of Jae wook ( he is so handsome) but the thing is this drama is kinda boring and irritating. I have tried so many times to sit through the episodes but still not finding it interesting at all. The Instagram edits of this drama are great, maybe all the good scenes are available as spoilers that's why I don't find the episodes worth watching.

The second Male lead ( In ha) is good too. But his character is so complicated ( don't know if he is loyal to his friend or not).

The female lead is so irritating ( we don't like her at all, maybe it's her character which makes her look cunning and selfish). I see no chemistry with her and the male leads ( it all seems quite forced).

The second female lead is so sassy and cool ( i actually liked her a lot ). Most of the fans wish her to be with Tae Ho ( but it's one sided love).

The storyline is complicated ( revenge --- after 5 years --- after 5 years ), so it's not fun. Actually it is a decent drama but not my cup of tea.

I really wanted to like this, but it's so dull and I'm finding it really difficult to like or relate to any of the main characters as none of them have any redeeming features whatsoever. Could and should have been much better. I wish I hadn't started watching but I'm half way through now and feel like I need to see it through.

The main lead in particular I'm struggling to understand what his motivations are for what he is doing. The second male lead I get his motivations. As for the female lead, no chemistry with either of the male characters and is not interesting at all. The second female lead is far more watchable and a much better actress, but doesn't get nearly enough screen time.

Overall, very disappointing.

**Update**: ok, so since I originally posted this review, this show has gone up an entire different level, several levels in fact! From episode 6 onwards, my jaw almost hit the floor several times with the various twists and turns. I'm now intrigued as to how this will all play out. Glad I stuck with it!
