A-ha! That's all I needed to hear besides reading other reviews about Tree of Heaven.
Truly, I have cried my eyes out watching other series before, but this one? This one takes the cake! Lee Wan is an actor who's acting abilities make you sympathize (and even on some levels, actually empathize) with his character so easily that it's hard to NOT fall in love with his character of Yoon-seo. Honestly, no matter how many times I have watched this series from beginning to end, I still cry.
Beautifully breathtaking background of the snowy area of Japan.
I have all of the music stuck in my head that I really need to buy the OST of this series.Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This) -

August 7, 2011 REFRESHINGLY NON-CONVENTIONALOk, so after you watch K-Drama for a while, you see the common thread of the frustrated love between relatives/step-siblings, the "oh too bad so sad we can't be together because you're this and I'm that," etc.-- not to knock ANY of those storylines, because I still watch all of those too... hey what can I say, I'm a total sucker for K-Drama!
The storyline from beginning to end of this series is just so different, and because I don't intend on spoiling it, I won't compose too much here. What I will say is that the clothes in this series are just beautiful! Ok, fine... there are some choice moments when I make the snide remark of, "did Shin get that outfit/sweater/tie from Anthropologie?" or "hmmmm... lookin' like Kernel Sanders today Shin... bring on the Kentucky Fried Chicken!" But on a general note, I honestly do like the sense of fashion and style of the more westernized clothes right along side of the beautifully striking bold colors of traditional Korean outfits.
Yoon Eun-hye delivers her role beautifully. I am in love with her comedic scenes-- too funny!
Special Features on a separate DVD complete with bloopers.
You won't be disappointed with this buy :)Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
