The Impossible Heir: A Review
Introduction
The Impossible Heir is a 2020 South Korean historical drama television series based on the novel of the same name by Shin Kyung-sook. The series tells the story of a young man who is forced to become the crown prince after the death of his older brother. The series stars Song Kang, Lee Se-young, and Jang Dong-yoon.
Plot
The Impossible Heir follows the story of Lee Hwon (Song Kang), a young man who is the illegitimate son of King Lee Ho (Jang Dong-yoon). After the death of his older brother, Hwon is forced to become the crown prince. However, Hwon is not prepared for the role and he faces many challenges, including the opposition of the court and the threat of assassination.
Hwon is helped by Chae-kyung (Lee Se-young), a young woman who is a descendant of the royal family. Chae-kyung is a strong and intelligent woman who helps Hwon to overcome his challenges. Together, they must navigate the treacherous waters of the court and protect the throne.
Characters
The Impossible Heir features a cast of complex and well-developed characters. Song Kang gives a strong performance as Hwon, a young man who is forced to grow up quickly and take on a role that he is not prepared for. Lee Se-young is also excellent as Chae-kyung, a strong and intelligent woman who helps Hwon to overcome his challenges.
The supporting cast is also strong, with Jang Dong-yoon giving a standout performance as King Lee Ho. Ho is a complex character who is both a loving father and a ruthless king. The rest of the supporting cast is also excellent, with each actor bringing their own unique strengths to the role.
Production
The Impossible Heir is a well-made drama with high production values. The sets and costumes are lavish, and the cinematography is beautiful. The fight scenes are also well-choreographed and exciting.
However, the drama does suffer from some pacing issues. The first few episodes are slow-paced and it takes some time for the story to get going. Once the story does get going, it becomes more engaging and exciting. However, the ending of the drama is somewhat anticlimactic.
Conclusion
Overall, The Impossible Heir is a good drama with a strong cast and high production values. However, the pacing issues and anticlimactic ending prevent it from being a great drama.
I would recommend The Impossible Heir to fans of historical dramas. However, I would warn viewers that the drama does have some pacing issues and the ending is somewhat anticlimactic.
