"The Impossible Heir" episodes 11 & 12: Recap, review

I think Hee Ju and Tae Oh might start dating, or maybe I'm just imagining things :)). Just so you know: The photo of Hee Ju that made Tae Oh smile was a picture of the actress Choi Hee Jin from July 2019. Isn't that adorable? 

Episode 11 starts with Tae Oh and In Ha having a big fight. Later, Gi Jun "dies" because of something In Ha told a prison guard to do. Tae Oh invites Seong Ju and In Ha over and tells them he’s now running Gold H Investment with someone else. 

In Ha, wanting to get back at Tae Oh, gets his dad out of jail. His dad goes to see his mom, who has become a monk, and she accidentally falls and dies during their argument. 

Meanwhile, Geum Suk gets caught by the police. In Ha takes over as the acting chairmain at a press conference, but the next day, he gets arrested for two murders, and it turns out Tae Oh planned it.

In the last episode, episode 12, In Ha is in jail, and Tae Oh is sad about his mom and thinking about what he’s done. Seong Ju tells his mom he won’t do what she says anymore. 

In Ha’s plans stop because he’s locked up. When he’s being questioned, he finds out Gi Jun is still alive because Tae Oh saved him, and Gi Jun is going to tell the truth about their crimes. In Ha gets a letter in jail that changes his last name to Baek. Then, Tae Oh finds out from Hee Ju that Chairman Kang is still alive. In court, In Ha gets a life sentence and talks to Tae Oh one last time before he ends his own life. 

3 years later, Tae Oh becomes the CEO of Kang Oh Group as he saved it from falling apart because of In Ha’s selfish actions. Hye Won works for the president, and Hee Ju goes to another country. Some people are happy, and some have to face the results of what they did, and that’s the end of the story.

Review

The show was okay, not great but not terrible either. People expected a lot, so they ended up feeling let down.

At first, it was exciting to see the 2 main guys being friends, but when the main girl came, the story got boring and her part was confusing.

The part where In Ha betrays Tae Oh and turns out to be crazy was cool to watch. It’s always fun to see some drama like that. "The Impossible Heir" would have been better if they had just focused on their fight instead of adding extra people and parts that weren’t needed.

We finally heard what the writers and crew were thinking. In Ha told, "I can't remember the reason anymore." It made me laugh. 

I think In Ha wanted revenge because of how badly the Kang family treated him after his mom died. They didn’t let him be part of the family and left him alone in a big house with just a caretaker. The story would have been more interesting if it had been written differently. 

And I feel like In Ha betrayed Tae Oh because he was jealous. In Ha always felt less than Tae Oh, even though he thought he was better because Tae Oh wasn’t from a rich family. Tae Oh was really smart, and that bothered In Ha. When Hye Won liked Tae Oh more, In Ha couldn’t handle it. The last scene between In Ha and Tae Oh didn’t really mean anything, and it seemed like even the actors were confused.

Also, the friendship and past between In Ha and Mo GiJun should have been shown more. It was something I was looking forward to, and I wish there were more scenes with them.
