I can't help but think that these two promising young actors show the different sides of each other in Brilliant Legacy. How? Well we've got to think about how complex the two of them really are:
Lee Seung Gi is the anti-hero or unlikely hero Sun Woo Hwan of the whole script. He's not really evil although he deserves to be jailed and suffer for that occasion when he had a LOT of debts to pay. Okay he starts off as somebody you'll really get mad with but he does show some kindness when he meets Eun Woo (who he doesn't realize is Eun Sung's younger brother) who he becomes friends with. He also shows how he ends up defending Eun Sung (somebody he hated earlier due to the estate issues) from the clutches of the two wicked witches in his own family or how he also shows his process of reconciliation with Manager Lee Jun Young and his grandmother Jang Sak Ja as the series develops since he initially wronged the two seriously to the point they made the mistake of judging him immediately. He of course becomes a more responsible guy revealing that the two greater evils in his family are his own mother and his own sister who hardly changed as the series progresses that is until his mother and the butler seem to fall for each other. Of course Lee Seung Gi is a really nice person so making him act Hwan got him to explore another role. Who knows? He may act as a real antagonist next!
I like also the way Han Hyo Joo brings her character. Rather than just being typically helpless like the Stairway to Heaven type of character, she does her work to survive and does everything to get her brother back. Of course, she's not all girlie as she actually does stand up to Hwan's arrogance and how that encounter turned into love without that in mind showing her more emotionally stressed side when she began to fall for him unexpectedly. Of course, she gets more developed when Hwan stands up for her even when she couldn't stand up thanks to the lies of the four witches in the story (Hwan's mother, Hwan's sister, her wicked stepmother and her wicked stepsister) who lie to the witty grandmother (who sadly was temporarily deceived thanks to the number of problems that piled up on her all those years, well it was partly her fault for spoiling Hwan prior to the start of the story) and how she and Hwan stood up for each other as heirs of the company.
