Brilliant Legacy

 

The drama, Brilliant Legacy (찬란한 유산), is about the genuine love that a family shares and young couples who suffer conflicts and scars but eventually find true love. Brilliant Legacy received a lot of attention even before it aired due to the fact that Lee Seung-Gi made his acting comeback in 3 years in this drama. He was last seen in Famous Princess (소문난 칠공주) in 2006. In the drama, a haughty chaebol heir and poor but bright woman fall in love each other. This story line might seem very run-of-the-mill and clichéd but it gives you a chance to revisit genuine affection among family members and find hope in it.
