THE HEIRS OR THE INHERITORS (2013)

Almost 10 years ago this drama aired. And it was my first foray into my new obsession with Asian Dramas. It also lead me into HANA YORI DANGO aka BOYS OVER FLOWERS. Original Air Date was October 9, 2013

So like BOF this drama is about a rich boy with a super complicated family dynamic. His mother is a mistress living with his father who is married to another woman who allows her husband and his mistress to live together. She also claims the mistresses son as her own for the public view.

The story is about Kim Tan (LEE MIN-HO) the second son of a chaebol family who was exiled by his older and jealous half brother to America. HOLLYWOOD.

While there he meets a visiting Korean girl there to see her sister and give her sister money. Her name is Cha Eun Sang (played to perfection by the lovely PARK SHIN-HYE)

Kim Tan becomes so enamored with Eun Sang it makes him break his brother's rules and return to Korea.

There he learns his new lady love lives in his house. But she is the daughter of the mute maid.

How did this lead me to BOF...we all know LEE MIN-HO played a version of DOMYOUJI TSUKUBA known as GU JUN-PYO for the SOUTH KOREAN ADAPTATION of BOYS OVER FLOWERS.

Part one

“Stand up.” Harry blinks, confused but immediately stands at the request. “Place your hands, flat, to the desk.” Indignation blooms bright in his cheeks, but he swallows, does as he’s told. Thinks with vitriol, prick.

This is for the theme of Flowers.

When they began to date, James planted red chrysanthemums. The flowers themselves served as a reminder to nurture the relationship as he did them. They grew to become the most precious blossoms in the garden.
