El heredero ilegítimo

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..

A big budget production with 2 decent male leads and a terrible female lead with truly wooden acting. Character development is ZERO. The relationship changes between the leads through the story don't make sense and are unbelievable. The female role was just pointless and was probably there as a vase and to add to the plot twist. Totally irrelevant and what could have been a dramatic thriller just go diluted into the stupid love-triangle influenced typical K-drama. I just spent more time fast forwarding the scenes than actually watching. Wait for all the episodes to be available and then just speed through the episodes to the ending.

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. 😭

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!

Seriously!.

The actors and actresses are all doing a good job.

But the script is so badly written that at one point I have to pause to wonder what the hell are the writers even thinking.

So messed up!.

And cheating..gosh!..that was so disappointing.. .though its a part of the show..it was still so frustrating enough to make me drop the whole thing.

I dropped this and I'll only see the updates on the second female lead!.

She is fkn carrying the whole show with her character and I hope she does not end up with Taeho..he never deserved her and she is more deserving to get the heir line as well as a good partner better than him.

The female lead is so unlikable!...so selfish and self centered...I swear it isn't badass nor sassy its just outright annoying and cringe...can't believe things went down hill just cause of this one girl...otherwise the plot actually had a potential of making it big.
