The Heirs releases first teaser trailer

Upcoming trendy high school rom-com The Heirs is in full gear as it continues to make waves a month before its scheduled premiere.

Fast on the heels of the release of stills from the set and character posters, the drama has upped the hype by giving us its first teaser trailer. The trailer, which aired after the September 19th episode of Master's Sun, gives us a glimpse into what we can expect from the drama.

Not surprising, the trailer boasts of its ensemble cast - all of whom are gorgeous young stars - and it clearly shows us that each and everyone of these characters are "heirs," including Park Shin-hye and Kang Min-hyuk's characters. That is, if being "heir to poverty" and "heir to intelligence" - respectively - count (which they don't).

Much of the hype for this drama is brought about by its stellar cast (duh), most of whom are not just pretty faces but have actual acting abilities to back them up. While that's well and good, I'm sincerely hoping they have a fresh story to tell. If it's just straight up Candy meets chaebol prince, I will be sorely disappointed - especially when they have all that talent to work with.

The Heirs succeeds Master's Sun and premieres on October 9.

Character posters for The Heirs

It's a one-two punch from upcoming drama The Heirs as they've put up character profiles onto their website.

I'm ready to give up and sell my soul to this drama. Despite telling myself not to hype this up too much to myself, I can't help but be totally excited for this. I mean, it has Lee Min-ho and Kim Woo-bin and Kang Ha-neul. Can it get any better than that? (Yes, yes, it can. Throw is some Lee Jong-suk and Jung Il-woo and a whole lot of bromance and I can die happy.)

Annnyyyywaaayyyy. Here are the character posters from the drama's official website.

LEE MIN-HO as Kim Tan

More stills are released from the set of The Heirs

Dramaland is abuzz lately with a handful of October dramas releasing photo teasers from their sets. The Heirs is not one to be left behind as it has been creating buzz from several months back, way before actual production was underway. Casting news consistently called for attention as the drama boasts of an ensemble cast comprised of pretty and youthful talents. And now that production has actually begun, the hype just continues to rise as the drama releases more stills from its set, following the trail of photos already released last week.

Lee Min-ho (City Hunter) and Park Shin-hye (Flower Boy Next Door), this drama's main couple, were in LA recently to film the pairing's first meeting. Lee Min-ho's character is a young chaebol studying abroad, while Park Shin-hye's character is the average girl visiting family in the States. I sense chemistry between the two and it excites me (even if the better part of me is telling me not to get my hopes up).

The drama has also released a slew of photos of the other characters. We have Choi Jin-hyuk (Gu Family Book), who plays the older brother of Lee Min-ho's character. He's looking dapper in his expensive-looking suit, standing in the middle of an equally expensive-looking jewelry store. Krystal also co-stars as an heiress to an entertainment fortune, she is the female second lead.

Kang Min-hyuk (You've Fallen For Me) joins the cast as a friend to Park Shin-hye's character. This probably means he's also of the poor kind. Kim Ji-won (To The Beautiful You), like almost everyone else in this drama who isn't Park Shin-hye or Kang Min-hyuk, plays an heiress to a hotel business.

The Heirs is set to air on October 9 on SBS.
