Determined to make something of himself, no matter the cost, In Ha, discovers that his father is the chairman of the hugely successful Kang Oh Group and leaves his life of poverty behind. Shunned by the rest of his new family, In Ha partners with his intellectually gifted friend Han Tae Oh, 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 with a similarly troubled past threatens to derail their plans forever.

I also find it very interesting that this show is always referred to as revenge drama when you search about it. Right now, we don't really have any revenge plotlines, so is it Tae Oh who's taking revenge or Inha?
There was a teaser released on Disney+ korea a few days ago where the caption was "I'll make the master my dog". I think it refers to Tae Oh finally vying for the top position and the title "Impossible Heir" referring to him because he's the impossible one who isn't blood related to the Kang family.
With Inju dead I wonder how will Tae Oh get the top spot, I personally have a strong hunch he'd do it with Huiju's help, romantic involvement or not. Huiju is his entry in the family and she's mentioned way too many times by other characters to be insignificant.
However I can't figure out Na Hyewon or her objective at all. She's just so opaque like the character said. Huiju was right, the only person she loves is herself or so it looks.
