A K-Drama Lesson in Futility?

Kim Ji Won as Mean Girl Rachel
Argh, As I’ve mentioned before, the only real reason I’ve been watching the Park Shn Hye drama The Inheritors/The Heirs is for Kim Jiwon, but CRAP, I’m already up to episode 6 and so far her character of Rachel is still the same shallow and petty girl she was in the beginning. 
   Seriously, every time I think that there’s been a pivotal moment where I think Rachel has grown or at least changed motivations, in the very next scene she’s ALWAYS back pulling the same old clichéd one-dimensional rich-bitch “bullying” on poor Eun-Sang. This is getting SO OLD!

Really, it’s at the point where I’ve got to talk to someone who’s already seen the rest of the episodes so far, ‘cause if Rachel’s going to be like this throughout the entire series, I’d really rather bail than waste more time watching it. Sigh.

by not only  a snippy Yoo Rachel...
But a snobby Lee Bo Na as Well!!! 
Aw, like I said earlier, I really thought Kim Jiwon’s character had a lot of promise at first, even though she played the clichéd bullying girl, I really thought they’d develop on that. But dammit, so far, nothing.
And while we’re at it, I might also add that Krystal’s character as equally snooty girl Lee Bo Na hasn’t developed any, either, LOL…
