My Just Watched Drama â Shining Inheritance/Brilliant Legacy
Ok then, I cannot think of anything to place as a title â hence I came up with âJust Watchedâ, though I have 2 meanings for this, as I just literally just finished watching it and at the same time, I just continued watching it for the sake of âjust watchingâ it, not sure why I did so, but maybe because of Lee Seung-gi, been a fan of him and I think I have watched most of his dramas. LSG is a great actor hence I enjoyed watching him.
So, Eung Sung (Han Hyo-joo) went to Korea for school break, sheâs studying in New York and one of her reason is to bring her autistic brother, Eun-woo (Yeon Joon-seok - who I need to give credit to as he was a real talented actor, he delivered his character so well â hats off to you), to the United States to study music, as he is a piano genius. Sunwoo Hwan (Lee Seung-gi), who was also studying in New York, was asked by his grandmother to return to Korea to learn how to manage her food company. Eun-sung and Hwan, were on the same flight back home, and their story started when they mistakenly had their hand luggage exchanged, the beginning of several misunderstandings between them.
Eun-sung's father, runs a construction company and was on the verge of bankruptcy, the only way he can think of to save his family from starvation is for him to commit suicide so the family can get his life insurance. The day that started it all is when the thief who stole his wallet and watched died in a gas explosion accident, due to the unrecognizable body, and the stepmom of Eung Sung just relied on the watch and ring of his dad that the thief was wearing and she confirmed to the authority that it is indeed her husband, she had the body cremated without even discussing it with Eung Sung. His father saw the news and eventually decided to lie low and not tell his family that he was alive in order for his family to claim the life insurance money and use it to clear the debts. However his wife, Baek Sung-hee (Kim Mi-sook), being so selfish and money centered kicked her stepchildren (Eun-sung and Eun-woo) out of the house after collecting the insurance money and bought a new house with her daughter, Yoo Seung-mi (Moon Chae-won) who happens to be Hwan's longtime best friend and sheâs so in
Eun-sung asked for help from several of her friends, but since sheâs no longer the rich girl, she was being avoided except for Hye-ri â who I seriously adored in the drama. She ended up working as a waitress and met the rude Hwan and the story continues. The same time she lost her brother because Hwan stepped on her mobile phone â hence they were not able to inform her that her brother disappeared.
In the interim, the grandmother of Hwan is disappointed in him as he is just squandering and is not grateful for what he has, in additional for not showing interest in running nor care for the company that her grandma and father built. One day Sook-ja (grandma) went to the place where she used to live with her young son when they were poor he fell down the stairs and Eun Sung saw her and took her to the hospital but since she cannot remember anything she just decided to bring her home until she regains her memory. Â Eventually grandma got her memory back and she was grateful of Eun-sung and then asked her to live with her and grandma promised to look for her brother.
When Eun-sung was introduced to her family and that she was going to live with them and that she was going to appoint Eun-sung as the heir of her food company, if she could raise the profits of the sinking second branch by 20%. Eventually she was able to do so with Hwan slowly realizing that he was immature before, tried and did his best to become a good employee and a good grandson and at this time, they fell in love with each other. Then the family once again reunited which is the one of the best scene ever.
I am not sure why I am doing this review right now as I have mentioned â I just watched it just for the sake of watching, maybe subconsciously I liked it, who knows. By the way I almost forgot, there is one scene in this drama that I teared up actually, it is when Seung Mi (the step sister) asked Hwan to do one last thing together before she say goodbye as she and her mom will leave and go somewhere to start fresh after repenting. They rode a bus, then Seung Mi asked Hwan to just go and leave her in the bus, when they looked at each other and Seung Mi just smiled one last time â boom I cried.
Anyway canât recommend it as it did not leave any great marks on me but yeah why not, if you feel guys that you want to see this drama â go ahead â for me it ainât that great and it ainât bad either. Just so-so.
So now, on to my next one â Mirror of the Witch, been a while since I havenât seen a Fusion Sageuk drama so maybe this is the perfect one for meâŠI will post once I finished watching it, or while I am into it if it I like it a lot (like what I did with Empress Ki and Kill Me Heal Me)..xoxo
