The Heirs" Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye's love story ended in happiness. On the final episode of the SBS drama "The Heirs", Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho) and Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) ended in happiness. Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) and Kim Tan stood up against their stepmother Jeong Ji-sook.
'The Heirs' season 1 premiered in Korea on SBS on October 9, 2013. ... He added that he would be part of a “mysterious big project.” And since his military service concludes in 2019 and if by the mysterious project, he means 'The Heirs', we might have a 'The Heirs' season 2 by 2020.
One of the reasons Heirs has so much attention and is one of the most watched K-drama is due to their cast. The leading man is played by Lee Minho, who is a heart throb in Korea. ... I honestly just can't press how amazing it is to have Lee Minho and Park Shin-Hye in a drama together! It's a big deal!
Heirs is definitely a good drama to watch if you want to watch something that is entertaining. I personally love the concept of star crossed lovers and the love-will-hurt feel in romance dramas and this definitely relayed that. For me the first few episodes of the drama really set the scene.
