A Little Musing
In order to get all these famous idols and big stars on board, SBS or the production company would have to shell out A LOT of money to pay them per episode, right? Therefore, if we think of it from this stand point wouldn’t it be more beneficial if they were to save up all the BTS and insert them into DVDs, sell it at a higher price and gain more profit out of it? Surely with that many idols in The Heirs, each and every fans of theirs would want to support their stars/idols so they would definitely buy a DVD. But this isn’t all though ~ if they are smart… they would split up the BTS and have 2-3 editions and reprint them for sales.
To be honest, this is a common practise when it comes to releasing CDs for artisits. One album in the end will consist of different versions of CD jackets with different goodies, if fans are desperate to collect all the goodies then they would have to invest in all versions. I would not put it past that SBS might be brewing on employing this very tactic.
In the end, it is all about making a profit.

My Note: I tend to agree with the above article in regards to the reason why they did not show more than condensed version of the drama in the 2 hours Heirs Christmas soecial. Sounds logical!
