Disney+ has unveiled the main poster and trailer for its upcoming drama “The Impossible Heir”!
“The Impossible Heir” will tell the story of three small-timers who join forces in an attempt to take over Korea’s largest conglomerate. Lee Jae Wook will star as Han Tae Oh, the son of a murderer; U-KISS’s Lee Jun Young will play Kang In Ha, the illegitimate son of a chaebol chairman; and Hong Su Zu will play Na Hye Won, the daughter of a gambler who has burdened her with debt.
The newly released trailer begins by introducing Han Tae Oh, who has lived a difficult life at the bottom of the food chain and is desperate to escape his circumstances. When his murderer father calls him from prison and says, “I want to see my son so badly,” Han Tae Oh is visibly terrified, and he later warns someone with tears in his eyes, “Run away! Just run away, quickly!”
Meanwhile, Kang In Ha faces his own struggles as the illegitimate son of the chairman of Kang Oh Group, Korea’s largest conglomerate. He is unable to even call his own father “Father,” and someone taunts him, “Looks like you’re locked in your room again today and won’t be able to come out.”
Finally, Na Hye Won is accosted by loan sharks who threateningly ask her to pay back the large sum of money her mother—a serial gambler—owes them. Na Hye Won spits back, “Mom? I don’t have a mom.”
Pushed to the brink by their respective circumstances, the trio decides to aim for the very top of the social ladder. Na Hye Won asks, “Didn’t you want to live a different life than the one you’re living now?” Meanwhile, Han Tae Oh tells Kang In Ha, “The power you’re talking about? In my opinion, that’s nothing. Because I have something even stronger than that. Desperation.”
As Kang In Ha aims to become his father’s successor and inherit Kang Oh Group, the story seems to take a violent turn. Kang In Ha then asks his father outright, “If I save you, please officially acknowledge me as chairman Kang Joong Mo’s son, Kang In Ha.”
Na Hye Won declares, “No matter what happens, I’m going to do the things I said I would do,” while Han Tae Oh says, “If you want to achieve your goals, you need to put in at least that much effort.” He then tells Kang In Ha reassuringly, “All eyes will be on you and you alone. Because you’re going to succeed completely.”
Finally, the main poster for the drama sums up the story as “the rebellion of the small-timers at the bottom of the food chain,” while the caption captures the trio’s determination by reading, “We’ll show you how far we can go.”
“The Impossible Heir” will premiere on February 28. Check out the trailer and poster for the drama below!
