“The Inheritors” Sold to Japan at Highest Price among 2013 Korean Dramas

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

SBS’s teenage romcom series “The Inheritors” has been sold to Japan with the highest selling price of this year.

Hwa and Dam Pictures, the producing company of “The Inheritors,” told that the star-studded drama has been sold to Japan as the highest selling price among Korean dramas ever sold to Japan this year.

The drama producing firm added that it is also in the last stage of selling distribution rights to numerous countries in Asia, Europe and America. A total of 13 countries have signed the copyright agreement.

Hwa and Dam earlier sold the airing rights of the 20-part TV romantic comedy to local cable channels with the highest-ever price.

“The attention to ‘The Inheritors’ is enormous in Korea as well as overseas. The VOD services through websites, IPTVs and Home Choices have also been great in its demands,” an official with Hwa and Dam Pictures said.

Starring Lee Min-ho, Park Shin-hye, Kim Woo-bin and Krystal of f(x), “The Inheritors” has been attracting more and more drama lovers especially after its former competitor “Secret Love” ended its run three weeks ago.

i was thinking of starting this drama on a whim a few days ago. but instead i started reply 94. is the heirs any good?

it seems like the drama is a rehash of BOF. maybe that's why it's popular....

It's awful, nothing happens and it's sexist. But I'm still watching, idk

Reply 1994 is FAR superior, but unlike a lot of people here, I'm actually still enjoying The Heirs for what it is. It's not as straight up cheesy as BOF but it has similar themes. I think LMH and PSH are doing really great with the material given to them, and the secondary characters are ADORABLE.

it is so bad, but I'm hooked. Like I HAVE to watch it.

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

i mean.... this is basically why it was made in the first place

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked. Heirs is considered a romantic comedy? I think I'm watching the wrong show.

mte
they are crying 24/7

[rikayla.livejournal.com]

wow that poster. that's a lot of photoshopping to extend the legs of their actors lol...

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I think I watched the first 5 minutes of this show, then had to turn it off. I think I'm starting to get too old for shows like that...Good luck to all those suckers who bought the rights tho, lol.

[konichiwacobra.livejournal.com]

it sucks to high heaven but I can't wait to watch the next episode. There is barely a plot and the writing is horrible. But I'm sitting here waiting on subs.

I can't believe that the writers spent 17 episodes on the same boring ass conflics between young do and tan/tan and the dad and then decide two episodes before the final to try and spice it up like wtf.
but still can't wait to see the next episode

i hate how they treat eunsang like some kind of object

" you take her" ???????

[gundae.livejournal.com]

on a kind of related note a friend of mine watches heirs dubbed in russian. and she's up to date! and she said the dubs were quite decent.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

i am so disapointed with this drama, and my expectations were very low.

also, i love park shin hye, she is gorgeous and can act, but girl can't have romantic/sexual chemistry with anyone to save her life. the last time i saw her having chemistry with someone was with lee wan, which is weird, seeing she was so young.

how is Heirs? I was interested when it first came out and watched up to episode 4 before i got bored of it and stopped.

[stoppedclock321.livejournal.com]

i'm not actually watching the show because i know everything would be too painful (the sexism, the writing, the plot, the treating her like an object, the lack of actual chemistry and development, etc.) for me to handle, so i wouldn't recommend going back. a friend of mine is watching it (for lee minho) and i told her it would be a hot mess. she agrees with me now, but she's still pulling through just for minho...

tbh the only reason i even slightly want to watch it is for krystal's character + her romance, because she and minhyuk are adorable.

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

Omg this show managed to disappoint me even with my basically non-existence expectations.
I knew this was going to be a mess so i trained myself not to expect anything during all those months of teasers/promos and im still disappointed at what we've got.

Oh well, good for you guys! Get those yen!
And i hope the actors i love goes on to do better things next.
We all know you didnt join this ship for the quality of the drama.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i absolutely love this show, i wish there were more episodes tbh i dont want it to end

[mya13.livejournal.com]

how is it even humanly possible to watch past ep 5 of this drama... i see clips of it posted on fb and all the comments are just "kekeke" in kr.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

such a good looking cast right there
yet smh @ the writing. idk if I should bother finishing it.
I'll probably just read the recaps at DB.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

this news doesn't surprise me. tbh this show is unwatchable and one of the worst dramas this year, and that's saying smth bc there have been some really terrible shows this year :( hopefully 2014 will be better.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I simply think this is this year's worst k-drama. What else is your terrible list?

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

It is one of the worst show I have ever seen in my life and I pity the Japan side who actually pulled out money for this crap. :(

But the drama is in the first place made out to get this kind of money for their overseas deal so its not really surprising.

[nekkedness.livejournal.com]

get that money!!

[kamoteatmani.livejournal.com]

Lee Bo Na needs a spinoff.

I hate myself for watching this drama. I would quit it, but I've watched 18 out of 20 episodes.

[ofs1992.livejournal.com]

urrgh i started this drama, kind of okay but after some episodes yah this seems like boys over flowers again. and this 2 weeks it's painful to watch so i'm not watching. but probably will watch just the last episode.

[springsky.livejournal.com]

I had no expectations coming into this drama and I LOVE it. My sister and I are hooked!
It's terrible but I can't stop watching it and I don't care, ahaha.

[violetsilver13.livejournal.com]

Kim Woo Bin and Kang Ha Neul made this drama for me. The main couple was just not doing it for me. I wanted to see what happened between Lee Hyo Shin and Rachel though. The 10 years later party scene was unnecessary and stupid. I just didn't like the ending overall.
