"The Impossible Heir" has taken viewers on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, presenting a series that has kept everyone at the edge of their seats. It features high profile names in Lee JaeWook and Lee JunYoung, along with rising rookie, Hong SuZu.
The Disney+ series follows the story Han TaeOh (Lee JaeWook), who has faced endless struggles in life. Together with Kang InHa (Lee JunYoung), the illegitimate son to the chairman of Kang Oh Group, they hatch a plan to achieve unbelievable amounts of success. On their journey they meet similarly passionate Na HyeWon (Hong SuZu) who hopes to escape the dark clutches of her troubled past.
The finale is right on the horizon, but it has been anything but easy for our characters to arrive at this position. All the cast have gone through an arduous journey to reach this point with a few more hurdles left before the final credits roll.
"The Impossible Heir" has been ripe with various twists and turns, keeping audiences firmly glued to their seats, clutching onto their racing hearts.
Sudden Understanding And Partnership
When the drama first began, we met Han TaeOh and Kang InHa. At first, they appeared to be at odds with one another, having two conflicting personalities that could only lead to trouble. However, it doesn't take too long for the two to discover their similar roaring passion and drive to escape their situation and unfortunate fate.
This leads to TaeOh and InHa forming a partnership in order to take over the company. While many thought they would be at each other's throats for a majority of the drama, seeing them so friendly and amicable definitely threw audiences off guard, wondering how long this relationship would last.
A Confession Too Late
Han TaeOh was dedicated to the cause, persistent in upholding the plan to take Kang InHa to the very top. Even with the appearance of Na HyeWon, it seemed TaeOh would remain steady in his resolve and continue forward without a second thought. However, we see cracks in his mask and emotionless persona.
After gathering his courage and facing the truth of his desires, he confesses to HyeWon — but soon finds out he's a step too late. Although all K-Drama signs point to the two being together, it still takes viewers by surprise that they didn't end up with each other right away. The ship of romance sails and in the blink of an eye, Han TaeOh returns to his cold, calculating self.
Incriminating Circumstances
One of the most shocking events to happen over the course of the K-Drama is TaeOh suddenly being named as a murder suspect. After tossing away his pride in front of Kang InJoo (Han SangJin), he becomes roped into another night of InJoo's incessant partying, filled with narcotics, alcohol, and blaring music.
TaeOh wakes up the next day in a luxurious suite, bloody and in the same room as a deceased Kang InJoo. He becomes the prime suspect and due to an incriminating testimony, along with no evidence to say otherwise, he becomes a convicted criminal. TaeOh struck everyone as being one step ahead of his opponents, but in one fell swoop, he was made out to be the villain, ousted from his position and unable to carry out the plan he set up with Kang InHa.
The Betrayal Of The Century
Despite being locked away in prison, Han TaeOh continues to proactively search for the person who framed him. It takes a lot of digging and having to be named as an escaped criminal, however, our main lead eventually finds out who's behind all the chaos: Kang InHa himself.
It's a discovery that leaves everyone in a state of shock, so certain that InHa truly cared for his best friend. However, that initial sentiment aside, looking back on how he reacted and the looks of discontent that he often wore on his face, the title 'villain' didn't seem too far off. Now that everything is out in the open, InHa has become even more desperate to take hold of the place he rightfully declares as his own.
Now, "The Impossible Heir" stands at the precipice of the end, ready for viewers to tune in for one last time. It's been an incredible journey filled with suspense, thrills, and a bit of sentimental romance.

Apink Official
Despite it being a decade since their debut, Apink continues to remain ever present within the K-Pop industry. They've certainly solidified their legendary status with hits like 'NoNoNo' and 'Mr. Chu'. But they've also constantly grown, showcasing their evolution with tracks like '%%(Eung Eung)' and more recently 'D N D'.
The girl group have a distinct sound, known best for their refreshing, vitamin-like vocals. While they're most known for their group promotions, Apink is made up of individuals with incredible talent. Over the past week, Apink's Kim NamJoo has been reminding us of this fact with her first solo comeback.
Outside of Apink's innocent image, NamJoo as a soloist is more mature with an alluring sound that would make anyone keep their eyes locked on the idol. Of course she didn't start off like this, making constant improvements throughout her career to become the artist she is today.
Early Stages
Apink's debut song, 'I Don't Know' was a song filled with pure innocence, reminiscent of a bright, clear spring day. In addition to their refreshing image, being part of the maknae line added on to NamJoo's cute aura. But behind her sweet visuals were honey-like vocals that became the source of pure joy.
The few years that followed, NamJoo's focus was on group activities. This time proved pivotal in cementing Apink's status among their colleagues and ever-growing idol landscape. It wouldn't take too long for the girl group to really come into their own and prove their mettle, becoming idols that everyone looked forward to.
While immersed in group promotions, NamJoo was able to participate in a few other projects like 'A Year Ago' with fellow groupmate Jung EunJi and Jang HyunSeung, as well as 'Photograph' with BTOB's Yook SungJae. These showed small glimpses of NamJoo outside of Apink and her potential to spread her wings and fly on her own. However, as we now know, those solo endeavors would come much later.
Polishing Her Skills
Creating a firm foundation, NamJoo continued to polish her skills, whether it came to her already wonderful vocals, stunning dance lines, and all encompassing stage presence. She participated in collaborations with other artists and even formed a subunit with fellow member BoMi, called Apink BnN. Through all these endeavors, NamJoo continued to showcase her evident talent and knack for performing on stage.
Even when not standing underneath the spotlight on music stages, NamJoo stirred the hearts of Panda everywhere with her reinvigorating presence and bubbly personality. She became known as a true mood maker both within her group and among others.
Although she did a lot in order to develop an artist, in between music show visits and studio room recordings, she even opened up her own YouTube channel. Through this new venture, she greeted fans and viewers with joy-inducing mukbangs that filled both your stomach and your heart. NamJoo is definitely an allrounder, able to captivate on any stage.
A Stunning Transformation

Although she led a successful career as an Apink member, when it came time to make her solo debut, NamJoo realized she needed to present a totally different image. And she did just that through her solo debut with title track 'Bird'. In previous years, she was merely spreading her wings to get a feel of the wind, but through her solo debut, NamJoo was able to finally fly off into scary, yet exciting music industry all on her own. With her groupmates and fandom supporting her, she made an incredible transformation into the soloist we see today.
In light of her recent comeback, NamJoo shows she's not done growing as an artist. Through 'BAD' she comes forth more daring and bold than ever before. While she still introduces herself as Apink's NamJoo, there's a clear distinction between her two identities that make up one amazing whole.
Kim NamJoo continues to make headlines, flying higher than ever before. Despite being an established name within the K-Pop industry, she makes multiple strides to improve and become better than ever before.
