Welp, Heirs just gets better and better. Confirmations are in for Choi Jin-hyuk, who has signed on to join the cast of SBS's Heirs, starring Lee Min-ho and Park Shin-hye, due out this fall. The actor is currently enjoying his first big buzzed-about role as Seung-gi's Gumiho Daddy in Gu Family Book, and now he'll be headed straight to the next big buzz project of the year. More Choi Jin-hyuk is always a good thing, rain or shine, but it's great to see him on the rise.
The next drama from star writer Kim Eun-sook (A Gentleman's Dignity, Secret Garden) and PD Kang Shin-hyo of Tazza and Midas will be a 20-episode trendy drama about uber-rich high-schoolers, said to be Gossip Girl-esque. Lee Min-ho plays the lead, a high school student named Kim Tan, and Choi Jin-hyuk will play his older half-brother, Kim Won. The hyung will be thirty-one in the drama, so that makes him the only member of the cast playing older than his real age. I'm more worried about everyone else playing teenagers, but whatchoo gonna do?
Choi Jin-hyuk's character will be a bright young executive who runs his family's giant conglomerate. He's (obviously) rich, but is also accomplished and capable, and basically perfect. That can only mean Lee Min-ho will be his opposite, and be imperfect in every way. I'm not too thrilled about the chaebol heir exec type for Choi Jin-hyuk, just because he's played that role a lot, but this show isn't exactly going to be doing new things (*coughBoysOverFlowerscough*). It's just hopefully going to be doing old tricks in new and better ways.
Heirs airs Wednesdays and Thursdays in October.
