The Korean drama “The Impossible Heir,” starring actors Lee Jae-wook and Lee Jun-young, and actress Hong Suzu, will be coming exclusively to Disney+ in February.
“The Impossible Heir” will feature suspense, drama, revenge and retribution. It is about the illegitimate son of a Korean conglomerate owner who partners with his ambitious childhood friend to seize their place at the top of the societal food chain.

Lee Jun-young (“Mask Girl,” “D.P.”) is Kang Inha, who was born into an impoverished single parent household with nothing but his good looks and charm, and is aiming for success.
Determined to make something of himself, no matter the cost, he discovers that his father is the chairman of the hugely successful Kangoh Group and leaves his life of poverty behind.
Shunned by the rest of his new family, Inha partners with his intellectually gifted friend Han Taeoh (Lee Jae-wook), hatching a plan from a young age to take over the company and seize their spots at the top of society.
Realizing success early on, the pair steadily begin their ascent until an equally ambitious woman, Na Hyewon (Hong Suzu), with a similarly troubled past threatens to derail their plans forever.
Lee Jae-wook has starred in “Alchemy of Souls” and “Extraordinary You” while Hong Suzu has appeared in “”Lovestruck in the City” and “Be;twin.”
“The Impossible Heir” is written by Choi Won (“Roman Holiday”) and directed by Min Yunhong (“Missing: The Other Side,” “Insider”).
