"The Heirs" is objectively terrible: the relationships are toxic and dysfunctional, the storylines don't make much sense, and the production is not great. However, what makes this show so beloved is its ability to go against your expectations. No other show can compare to the out-of-pocket dialogue, insane characters, and ridiculous plot points that "The Heirs" has to offer. "The Heirs" dares to subvert expectations whenever possible. Within the first episode, Kim Tan's Californian roommate robs Cha Eun Sang, thinking that her bag of rice (?) is cocaine. Right off the bat, it shows you that this is a world not like our own, one where people have no concept of logic or common sense. This is a show that pairs excellently with intoxication.
