Viewers were drawn to "The Inheritors" and Park Shin Hae who had inherited poverty as she transferred to Kingdom High School as her transition to a "class society" unraveled.
On the SBS Wednesday/Thursday mini-series "The Inheritors" Cha Eun Sang (played by Park Shin Hae) who lives with her mother Hee Nam (played by Kim Mi Kyung) in the maid room in the corner of the Kingdom Group main house is transferred to Kingdom High School where the top 1% of heir go due to an affirmative action policy.
On this day that Eun Sang transferred, Kim Tan (played by Lee Min Ho) and Choi Young Do (played by Kim Woo Bin) are in a tight conflict as they both receive the interests of the Kingdom High School students and start a not-so-easy school life.
Moreover, the son of the corporate secretary and long-time friend Yoon Chan Young was also in the affirmative action category in Kingdom High School where others were heirs of stocks and executive officers. Therefore, Eun Sang was in despair saying, "If you're in by affirmative action, what about me? Will I be able to survive?" this forecast how she would go through a tough class society here.
Eun Sang came in as a transfer student and said, "I'm Cha Eun Sang. I'm plain in all ways. I try to do well in everything so please don't get interested in me. Helping me will be a burden. Nice to meet you all" and was pretty sharp. However, when asked what category of transfers she was in, she couldn't say anything.
Even afterwards, Eun Sang kept receiving questions about her class and Tan finally said that she's "new money." Eun Sang couldn't say no as she usually did and started haltering.
However, Eun Sang finally started crying at home when she faced Hee Nam even though she was tough through the mean glares of Tan's fiancée Yoo Ra Hell (played by Kim Ji Won) and Choi Young Do (played by Kim Woo Bin) who was overly interested and Lee Bo Nah (played by Jung Soo Jung) who was filled with jealousy.
"Regardless of school and whatnot, don't just hide in this room and let's leave. It's unfair. Why do we live like this with no answer? I'm going to go crazy." Viewers are watching how Eun Sang survives this mini version of harsh society in Kingdom High School and how she will survive.
