'Tree of Heaven': a new tryout for a resurgence of Korean Wave

Despite mediocre viewer ratings, SBS primetime drama "Tree of Heaven," is receiving widespread praise as a brand new Korean Wave maker.

Co-produced with Japanese production company Kadokawa, the drama was filmed 100 percent in Japan and will also be aired on Japan's Huji TV next month.

Directed by Lee Jang-soo, the creator of the popular TV series "Stairway to Heaven," the new drama features a heart-wrenching love story between actor Lee Wan and actress Park Shin-hye, who had played little Shin Hyun-joon and Choi Ji-woo in Lee's previous dramas.

Designed to match the taste of Japanese viewers, characters in the drama - most played by Japanese actors and actresses - frequently converse in Japanese, confusing local viewers over whether the drama is really Korean.

But at the same time, the drama faithfully follows a popular Korean drama formula, portraying a forbidden romance between a devoted hero and a pitifully kindhearted heroine. Japanese sports daily, Sankei Sports, recently predicted the drama's success in Japan saying, "As another one of Korea's heartbreaking romances made by talented director of 'Stairway to Heaven,' the drama is expected to make another major impact here."

The new drama appears to be an outcome of the drama-maker's effort to overcome the cooler response from neighboring countries toward Korean dramas.

Starting with "Winter Sonata," Korean dramas became the main contributors to the Korean Wave and were also guaranteed moneymakers.

But a few years later, the boom began to diminish in Japan, Taiwan and other Asian countries, with many new Korean dramas failing to arouse the same interest. No actor or actress succeeded in becoming the second Yonsama - actor Bae Yong-joon. Although Korean dramas are still popular overseas, with their exports steadily growing, many critics stress the need of a major renovation in the Korean drama making system to maintain the current Korean Wave.

Thus, TV critics regard "Tree of Heaven" as an encouraging tryout in finding a new profitable model for Korean dramas.

"It has been proven that Japanese viewers have a soft spot for corny romances. The new drama is an encouraging tryout to see if adapting more to the Japanese style, while filling the desire for corny romances, will work to keep up the popularity of Korean dramas," said critic Chung Han-pyo.

Despite that positive view, many local TV viewers have been criticizing the "Tree of Heaven" for its excessive use of the Japanese language and overflow of Japanese sentiment.

Because the drama is so Japanese, it fails to emphasize the distinctive features of Korean dramas which have been the main driver for the Korean Wave, they assert.

"I felt like I was watching a Japanese drama with a few Korean actors and actresses appearing on it," said internet user jung9965 on the drama's website after the first episode was aired. "I don't understand why I have to make an effort to keep up with the Korean subtitles while watching a drama made by my own country."

Internet user Nurikkun agreed.

"If the producers cared about the Japanese TV fans enough to ignore Korean viewers completely, what's the point in airing it in Korea? I am very doubtful that Japanese viewers will fall for this drama which is neither Korean nor Japanese."

Regardless of the criticism, "Tree of Heaven" is showing steady growth in viewer ratings with its leading actor and actress receiving much attention in both Korea and Japan.

Park Shin-hye, who just turned 16, is highly praised for her talented acting in which she speaks the Japanese lines fluently despite the fact that she has never lived in Japan or learned the language.

"Many Japanese commercial-makers and production companies have contacted us, wanting to sign contracts with Park," said Park's agent. "We are happy with the proposals, but because Park has just begun acting, we are planning to be prudent with her entering the overseas entertainment world."

And actor Lee Wan, 23, who had at first received more attention as the younger brother of top actress Kim Tae-hee, is also enjoying compliments for improved acting skills.

"Many Japanese broadcasters have been showing immense interest in Lee after hearing news that 'Tree of Heaven' will also be aired in Japan. And many Korean filmmakers and producers have also been contacting us," said an official at Lee's agent, Logos Film.

Drama "Trees in Heaven" to Air in Japan


SBS TV's special drama "Trees in Heaven" will air across Japan starting from April.

SBS said on Mar. 7, "Fuji TV, a terrestrial network in Japan, will air the drama 'Trees in Heaven' during late-night hours on Thursdays starting from Apr. 13." Prior to this, BS Fuji, a satellite channel of Fuji TV, will broadcast the drama every Thursday at 9:00 p.m. starting from Apr. 6.

The version of "Trees in Heaven" that will be aired on Fuji TV and BS Fuji will be an abridged edition dubbed in Japanese. Its original version with Japanese subtitles will air on CS Fuji, a cable channel of Fuji TV, in July.

"Trees in Heaven" stars Lee Wan and Park Shin-hye and is the last of drama director Lee Jang-soo's so-called "three-part heaven series," following "Beautiful Days" and "Stairway to Heaven."

"Beautiful Days" and "Stairway to Heaven" won high popularity among Japanese fans because they featured hallyu stars such as Lee Byung-heon and Choi Ji-woo.

To discuss Fuji TV's decision to air "Trees in Heaven," the production team, including Lee Jang-soo, will give a press interview at the MultiTheater inside the head office of Fuji TV in Odaiba, Tokyo on Mar. 8 at 3:00 p.m.

from watching epi8, it seems like theres two cross necklaces. I always thought there's only one. Is it a mistake made by the director or something?

[Latrina]

i think that there is supposed to be two
Yun Suh probably went to get another one?
man i want one too
but where did he get it from since the old one was from his mother?

i thought that there was only one at first because hana put the necklace on the tree Yun suh took it
and then she finds it in the suite room,
Yun Suh puts it back on the tree and then hana has it
ah lets just stick with two necklaces because when hana was washing Yun Suh's hair they both had one !

i thought that the necklace can be taken apart as well?

[syah4brit]

It probably is a 2 in 1 necklace like in Stairway To Heaven?

Juz tht they haven't shown us yet when did Yoon Suh take the inside one or is his the outer one?
