The Impossible Heir is scheduled to premiere exclusively on Disney+ in February. The series revolved around the themes of ambition, betrayal and revenge. The story unfolds around Kang Inha, born into poverty and determined to escape his circumstances. After he discovers he is the illegitimate son of the chairman of the Kangoh Group, he teams up with his intellectually gifted friend, Han Taeoh. The duo will stop at nothing to seize their place at the top of the societal food chain.

However, Kang Inha’s journey is not smooth without obstacles. He is met with an equally ambitious woman, Na Hyewon as she threatens to foil their ascent up the societal ladder. Na Hyewon’s troubled past adds a layer of complexity to the gripping narrative.  

Starring Lee Jaewook (Alchemy of Souls, Extraordinary You) as Han Taeoh, Inha's sharp-minded childhood friend; Lee Junyoung (Mask Girl, D.P.) as Kang Inha, the illegitimate son of the chairman of the Kangoh Group, and Hong Suzu (Lovestruck in the City, Be;twin) as Na Hyewon, an ambitious woman with a troubled past and aspirations of a bright future, The Impossible Heir is written by Choi Won (Roman Holiday) and is directed by Min Yunhong (Missing: The Other Side, Insider).
