Tree of Heaven, Lee Wan and Park Shin Hye Options

[tvbfanzforever]

on my must-see list..hopefully hk will buy the rights and release a canto version.
Hmm..do i spell over craze over those necklaces ...like they did with Winter sonata and STH???

i wonder why the official title is "heavens' tree" - is it when the lead female actress dies here, her spirit in heaven "blossoms like a tree - full of life and colour"??

[HKasiangurl]

so i heard that this drama is somewhat like Stairway to Heaven and i guess it also reminded people of Devil Beside You. So is it still worth it to watch it?

[MiSZCHELLe]

is this series good? i'm still hesitant if i wanna watch it or not, because i have soo much dramas to do for my mom. I downloaded the first 2 eps, but i havent had a chance to watch it yet.

no , the leading female loves LeeWan , but Lee Wan wanted her to marry the japanese male cus his life was in danger as he's thought to haf killed his enemy (Shimada) , so now Shimada's men & police are hunting him down... he wanted to be sure tht she's got someone trustworthy to protect her... he was gonna surrender to police after he saw the leading female & the jap guy exchange marriage vows but he got stabbed by one of his boss's men. then as he got stabbed , the leading female & the jap guy were exchanging rings. The ring fell.... she felt something amiss , she ran out of the wedding , saw Lee Wan struggling as he walked , a car driven by his boss's man came approaching to knock Lee Wan down , the leading female ran onto the road to move him away but both got hit....

so the guy lying on the road wif her is not the jap one , it's Lee Wan , the one she loved.

[cutina124@yahoo....]

I really want to see this but want an indepth review of the series so if anyone would be willing to do that you would be my savior and I would luv ya forever....well as long as I'm on AF

[syah4brit]

Can you tell me what happened at the end please?

Yoonsuh died

He gave his heart to Hana , she survived .

When she went back to her hometown wif Mika & Ryu , she talked excitedly abt meeting YS again ,
Mika broke down & they told her tht he's dead & his heart is in her ~

As she cried in his old bedroom where they used to stay at , she received a video msg on her phone ,
it was YS who had recorded it & he was singing the song he sang to her in ep 9 , the whistling song , but he was struggling then . He wishd her happy bday & told her to smile . She then cried so much after seeing tht ~~

Then last scene , they showed her going to the Tree & she wore the necklace hanging on it , n she sprinkled his ashes there , then she walked away , n it ended .

I made screencaps while watching Live , so they're low quality , if u wanna see here are the last few scenes ....

[syah4brit]

[tru3luv316]

Park ShinHye resembles Choi Ji Woo soo much... they look very cute together.

[Strawberry Cooki...]

Does park shin hye really speak japanese fluently , she seems to speak it so well...And is it Hana 's friend the korean singer Sonim ??! She looks a lot like her .

[Sunlight_zero36]

yea Hana's friend is acted by Sung Sunim ~~

Hana's friend is a korean singer!?! Cool . I'm really in love with Lee Wan right now... Park Shin Hye is also very cute.

[cutina124@yahoo....]

I was wondering if anyone knows where I can get this with english subtitles. I have been wanting it for so long...well since it's been out. Thanks if you help.

[.sunshinee.]

i'm only on episode 5. it's pretty good!
i wonder what's going to happend next.
i cant wait to watch episode 8 since i heard it's =OOO

[syah4brit]

Hana's friend is a korean singer!?! Cool . I'm really in love with Lee Wan right now... Park Shin Hye is also very cute.

Sunim is a 3rd generation Korean but she's lived in Japan all her life actually , so i think she's more of a japanese singer , n she's acted in some other japanese series b4 i think .

What do you mean by 3rd generation Korean ? Do you mean that nowadays a lot of korean leave in japan now thats so cool



Do you guys know how old is the caracter maya in real life?! She seems older than sunim and park shin hye

[syah4brit]

I believe 3rd generation Korean means , her parents & grandparents are also Korean but they live in Japan or something ~~ There's a small community of Koreans living in Japanese I think ~~ Tht's why her name sounds kinda Korean I think .

Maya (Asami Reina) in real life is same age as Mika (Sung Sunim) . They are both born in 1983 .
Park Shin Hye is so far frm them hehe , she's a 1990 girl .

I love ep 8 , the last part ~~
the 1st part of ep 9 will be too ~~

[limay]

hahaha!! i must watch this show! it looks interesting. start downloading i shall!
that lee wan guy looks hot!

[powershota]

this korean storyline reminds me of devil beside you from taiwanese drama

compare DBY to HT is liek comparing salt and sugar.

the story lines with the brother and sister love is similar, but i just absolutely love LeeWan and Park ShinHye characters and love story far more than DBY. Somehow I thought most of DBY love scenes were very sexual. Versus the interactions of YS and Hana were really innocent but really deep. I really love this tree and cross necklace.

I usually hate sad and dramatic story ... but HT really is my exception. i love it

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?

Yes the necklace is 2-in-1 .... There's two crosses, a border cross surround a small diamond cross inside --- like YS character would always surround Hana to protect her forever.

You might be able to buy the necklace at Koreantown at L.A or at Korean plazas (if you don't live close to Koreantown) if you want to have it. These days they sell necklaces and accessories that came out in Korean dramas, just like the STH necklace.

Oh, and the 3rd Generation Koreans means that Sung Sunim's grandparents immigrated to Japan and it was most likely before, during, or after the Japanese occupation in Korea or Korean war. Depends.
There are Koreans who were born and live in Japan. If you learn about Korean history, Japan occupied Korea for almost 100 years. Korea got their independence from Japan during WWII.
During the occupation, many Koreans were forced to speak Japanese only and many young woman were sent to Japan as prostitutes. Very bad time for the Koreans during the time (and a very touchy subject among my parents and grandparents). There are many controversies that Koreans don't have as much civil rights compared to native Japanese people in Japan and vice versa for Korea. To this day, both still have some bad images with one another and the producers of Tree of Heaven thought that having a drama with Japan will show better images and to learn something from each other's culture in a way. (Hope I'm making sense... T_T;;)

Hope that helps.

Oh, one more thing-- Lee Wan is the sexiest man alive and I love him to death!! Haha... 이완오빠 짱 (Lee Wan oppa Jjang)!!! ^_~


Like my signature?? keke.. I like it too~ hehe.. got it from TH website.

Thanks ! It is very clear , don't worry




I finally finish watching tree of heaven. Every character are so touching. At the beginning, I did not like the character Maya that I found underhand and hypocritical. And finally, for the love she has drop all, and sureender to the police force. I like also Ruy, when yoon suh requires of him to take Maya care at the hospital, and that he refuses... All the characters are meadows to be sacrificed for the person whom they love... They finally make me like them

True , I grew to like Maya & Ryu as well ~~

The only person u'd hate really is the Aunty & the Chief ~

yeah definitely hate the chief that makes Yoon suh die in the end
and maya 's mother is so selfish

Now
... when i listen to the OST of the series it makes me even cry

[dreamless]

I love this series, but hated the ending!!!! I hoped it would end well, but as I already predicted it had a sad ending!!! Especially when "Oompa" died and gave his heart to Hanna....It's sooooo sad!!!! Wanted to cry....

[gcwchan]

I haven't finished watching it yet, but I am already hooked. The part where his brothers help him decorate the room for a surprise was funny.

Just finished watching it. Bought the dvd's of it. There was a mistake on the package and it was listed as 18 episodes. Darn! That was one of the most tear jerking series I have ever seen! Luckily I don't cry, but my wife is still weeping now.
