Jae Hoo doesn't align himself with Won or his father or any one person- he states that he simply works for the company. It's also the reason why the unassuming chief secretary Yoon Jae Hoo ( Choi Won Young) is a problem. Won clearly has big plans and high aspirations for himself within Jeguk Group- that's why he exiled Tan to California and somewhat tolerating the situation with his dad's wife and mistress at home. A wife and a mistress of the same man under one roof is certainly a recipe for disaster, but the two seem to have some kind of working relationship- they both know what's going on, and they've just accepted it as the way things are. Kim tries to cut Ji Sook out of the will, she'll expose his mistress and illegitimate child. Ji Sook brought Ki Ae into the Kim household as a threat- Ki Ae is a family secret, so if Mr. Kim ( Jung Dong Hwan)'s mistress and has never actually been his wife, and the "second wife" Ji Sook ( Park Joon Geum) who raised Won and Tan but has no children of her own.

The Kim household has three mothers to contend with- Won's mother, who is out of the picture, Tan ( Lee Min Ho)'s mother Ki Ae ( Kim Sung Ryung), who is Mr. I will need some time to digest what happened in the third episode but let's take a look at the five relationships that caught my attention after the second episode. One of these is Choi Young Do, tall, handsome genius, with rancid personality, who learns that before getting his own stately resorts, he'll first be getting same aged, equally beautiful and "pleasant", step sister, Rachel Yoo, who's also engaged to be married to none other but his arch enemy, Kim Tan.With the HUGE cast of characters in ' Heirs', the potential relationships are practically endless. Meanwhile in Korea, we see group of privileged, spoiled high schoolers, the future 1% of Korean society, who all seem to be familiar with Kim Tan, and not many of them are fond of him. Instead of calming her down, he suggest he might also be dealing in human organs to support this life style. Kim Tan who is same age as her, leaves with no parents around, in a big, luxurious house, which makes her immediately assume he's a drug dealer.

At first reluctant to go with a guy who seems all to well acquainted with LAPD, she agrees to go with him simply so to not spend the night on the street. This entire exchange is observed by mysterious Kim Tan, who has completely different set of problems, but decides to take Cha Eun Sang's problems on, as well. After her sister notices her, they have a fight, she takes all of Cha Eun Sang's money and runs off, leaving her to cry and gather her broken dreams of the pavement. Her sister is not only not getting married, but is also not at university, and is earning money working as a waitress, and maybe some shadier side jobs as well. However, what she finds in America is far worse than she could ever imagine.

She resolves to go to America as well, and get better life. However one day, Cha Eun Sang learns that her sister is about to get married, and realizes she'll never return to Korea, so she'll forever have to wash dishes. Cha Eun Sang can't wait for her sister, who's her idol, to come back to Korea, and start earning money, so she can stop washing dishes and get a degree herself. Cha Eun Sang and her disabled mother both have to work hard, humiliating jobs, in order to support her older sister who's at university in America.
