Newest K Drama, The Impossible Heir, featuring Lee Jae-wook, Lee Jun-young and Hong Su-zu, premiered on Disney Plus on February 28. However, just three days after its release, fans were surprised to find leaked episodes 3 and 4 online. Normally, two episodes are released once every Wednesday and the newest episodes are scheduled to release on March 6. According to IMBC reports, episodes of The Impossible Heir hit Hulu before Disney, leading Hulu subscribers to take advantage of the situation by uploading episodes 3 and 4 on illegal piracy websites, ahead of the official release. The news initially circulated on South Korea’s chat site, Open Talk, where users expressed frustration about the unexpected leak.
This situation has left both the audience and the creators puzzled about how to handle the unauthorised release of future episodes. According to the portal, viewers are now sharing their disappointment online. An individual annoyed by the leak claimed that they can’t access the pirated version. Another viewer shared their discomfort and shared that they wanted to watch episodes 3 and 4 with the full content but were forced to view pirated versions, as spoiler clips from the episodes were circulating widely online through various communities.
Meanwhile, the series is a revenge tragedy featuring Lee Jae-wook as Han Tae Oh, the son of a murderer. Lee Jun Young, from U-KISS and UNB, takes the role of Kang In Ha, an illegitimate son, while Hong Su-zu plays Ne Hye Won, the daughter of a debt collector. According to Kareebo, the plot revolves around Kang In-ha leaving his underprivileged life after discovering his true lineage. Faced with rejection from his rich family, Kang In-ha takes the help of his childhood friend Han Tae-oh to come up with a plan. In an interesting twist, the duo meets Na Hye Won, who is going through financial challenges and wants to break free from her mother. Together, the trio plans to take control of the company and secure top positions.
Days ahead of its release, The Impossible Heir star Lee Jae-wook was in headlines for his romantic involvement with Aespa member Karina. The two reportedly started dating after meeting at a fashion show in Milan on January 14, 2024. Confirming the news, both Karina and Lee’s agencies acknowledged their blossoming relationship, stating that the celebrity couple is in the process of getting to know each other.
