The Impossible Heir episode 11 story

In the eleventh episode of The Impossible Heir, we witness Kang In-ha's ulterior motives as he strains his ties with family and friends for his corporate greed. It revolved around Inha’s plan to eliminate his enemies by targeting their weaknesses to reign as the chairman of the Kangoh group. However, his plans are ruined when Tae-Oh traces his previous crimes and teams up with Inha’s half-brother Seong-ju to seek his revenge.

The Impossible Heir episode 11 review

The recent 11th episode showcased the power struggle between Inha and Tae-Oh as he uses all his cards against his former friend, including harming his mother. The Impossible Heir’s semi-finale episode feels rushed and off-putting.

This thriller series has failed to impress viewers with its continuous, inconsistent story and narrative. The episodes are character-driven since the beginning, but none of the characters are well written. Their loose execution and unexplored motives have added to the disadvantage of The Impossible Heir.

For instance, Hye-won's character is just used as a weakness for Tae-Oh, and she doesn’t have any identity of her own, which is a total talent waste for Hong Su-zu.

Another weakness of this K-drama is the lack of emotional connection. Episode 11 included the death scene of Tae-Oh's mother, but we hardly got to see any drama between the dynamic mother-son duo.

Despite Episode 11 being the semi-finale episode, overall the series lacked thrills and suspense. The episode ends with Inha’s arrest, just when he was so close to his victory.

The Impossible Heir episode 11 verdict

Disney+Hotstar’s thriller K-drama ‘The Impossible Heir’ lost its charm ever since it deviated from its plot. The series, which began as a quest for three underdogs for power, quickly plunged into Inha vs. Tae-Oh, where two friends turned foes against each other. Despite the stellar ensemble cast of Lee Jae-wook, Lee Jun-young, and Hong Su-zu, this thriller is skippable because of its loose narrative and flawed characters.
