The Impossible Heir Plot Overview

In this revenge drama, Kang In-ha is the illegitimate son of Kangoh Group who has been brought up in poverty in a single-parent household. However, when he suddenly learns of his true parentage, he quickly comes up with a plan to take what is rightly his and rise to the ranks in the Kangoh Group to take over the conglomerate. In the process, he recruits his childhood friend Han Tae-oh, a cold-hearted man whose father is a murderer. 

They begin their plan as they meticulously place themselves in the corporation and front of the Kangho family. With Tae-oh’s brilliant mind and In-ha’s connection to one of the richest companies in the country, these two set out to reach to the top. However, his plan finds a hiccup when he meets Na Hye-won, a woman who has also seen abject poverty in her life as well and has similar dreams to him – to take over Kangoh Group for herself. 

Facing an unknown and unmovable challenge on their path to financial stability and power, In-ha and Tae-ho have to fight tooth and nail to realise their dreams. But, on the way, they also find themselves doubting each other as many of their secrets come to light.

Seeing how the young man is intelligent yet cunning enough to make the right decision, the Chairman is quick to keep him close. 

On the other hand, In-ah slowly but surely makes his presence known in the company through his quick-thinking skills and determined approach. But with a hacker holding sensitive information and a raid, it seems as though their dreams will be crushed forever.
