The lines in "The Inheritors" are drawing attention from the audience.

Recently, the "questioning lines" and the "lines with twists" in SBS Wednesday/Thursday drama "The Inheritors" (Script Kim Eun Sook, Producer Kang Shin Hyo) is getting the highest ratings as it's attracting viewers audience.

In the rise of "The Inheritors" a key element is writer Kim Eun Sook's lines. The protagonists are expressing their feelings while asking others through questions, and sharp lines that are on-point yet having a twist are also something that viewers are getting addicted to.

In the drama, the characters are delivering realistic and on-point lines as they're establishing a solid presence. "Kim Eun Sook style" lines are coming to live as we explore some of the meaningful lines in "The Inheritors."

◆ Chemistry through questions

During the drama, inheritor Kim Tan (played by Lee Min Ho) expressed his feelings for Cha Eun Sang (played by Park Shin Hae) in a questionable way causing an uproar from the audience.

Kim Tan gets face-to-face with Cha Eun Sang at the theater asking, "Do you like me?" and showed that he had feelings for her and revealing that he's the second son of the Kingdom Group, he said, "Did you miss me?" showing that he had missed her.

Meanwhile, Choi Young Do (played by Kim Woo Bin) said to Kim Tan on the 6th episode, "Why are you sleeping here? Making me want to care for you?" This captured women's hearts in his rough yet heart-fluttering comments.

◆ Ironic and Sarcastic Lines

Cha Eun Sang went to Kingdom High, a smaller scaled reality to show a better life and due to Tan, she has a fake identity of the "new rich." Thus, Eun Sang, who lives in the maid room of Kingdom Group is putting up laundry with her mother and says to herself, "The weather is great. Sucks. During the day, I'm a "new rich." At night, I'm a housekeeper. What kind of tops and turns is this?"

Tan says to Eun Sang who tries to help Joon Young (played by Cho Yoon Woo) who's getting tormented by Young Do, "At Kingdom High, don't try to be on the side of the weaker. If you stand with the weaker, you'll just end up being one of them." This seemed to point at reality with its sharp comments.

Moreover, Bona (played by Crystal) got upset at Ra Hell (played by Kim Ji Won) saying, "If I get dumped, I'm going to take my life savings and get back at you." Here, Young Do took Eun Sang's wrist and said coldly, "I haven't introduced you, right? You're mine from today. It's also called a shuttled." Contrary to how he really felt, Tan said to Young Do, "It's been a while. Miss me, friend?" Young Do said, "How do you come to school every day feeling so nervous?" From these scenes, one could tell how ironic and sarcastic Kim Eun Sook's writings were.

Producer Hwa & Dam Pictures says, "It seems like "The Inheritors" is growing in popularity as the series continues. We'll try our best to repay our reviewers. We hope that you'll continue to be interested and we hope you'll have high expectations."

"The Inheritors" airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10PM.
