Tree Of Heaven- Lee Wan
I liked him since the "Snow White" korean drama... This time in "Tree Of Heaven", his acting really stunned me... He acted veri well as Yoon Suh Oppa though the drama a bit boring.. tat drama is a combination of "Stairway to Heaven", "Authum Story" and "All In"... is those kind of sad story wif female lead crying in almost every scene... ha ha..
Compare to the "Snow White" show, I liked his hairstyle in this show better... Coz he looks like a bad boy wif short hair.. So long hair makes him seems a bit gentleman-like... Lol...
Well, "Tree Of Heaven" is the latest korean drama in Singapore... The story goes like this...
The story takes place in Japan. It's about a girl called He Na, whose father died when she was just 8 years old. Her mother remarries 10 years later, to a Korean man with a 20 year old son, Yunxi. Yunxi has not spoken for years, since he was a boy when his mother died. Anyway, Yunxi comes to live with He Na because their parents are going away for their honeymoon.
Slowly, bit by bit, He Na draws Yunxi out of his shell, and makes him smile again, and eventually, talk. The duo, who live with He Na's real father's sister (her aunt) and her daughter Maya, face alot of difficulties. He Na is abused by her aunt and cousin, but her loving and forgiving nature allows her to bear with it, until they evil mother and daughter sell their home and run away.
Inevitably, amidst trials and tribulations, the two step siblings fall in love, though Yunxi was the one to admit it first, and He Na keeps denying it. She even runs away from him by going to Tokyo to work in a hotel, after her high school graduation. Yunxi is heartbroken.
Two years pass, and He Na misses her stepbrother terribly, and realises that she has been in love with him all along. Yunxi has hardened and grown into a young man who has never forgotten about He Na. Instead, he tracks her down, and protects her without knowing it. He has become a mafia leader in Tokyo, and has stopped using his Korean name (Yungsuh, aka Yunxi) in favour for a new Japanese name, Yuki.
When Yunxi finally shows himself to He Na, he tries to keep her at a distance, believing that his position as a mafia leader will endanger her life. She continues to love him, and expresses it openly this time, though he is withdrawn. He even tries to push her to marry her senior from high school, who has been taking care of her while she has lived in Tokyo for the last 2 years.
Slowly, Yunxi warms up to He Na again, and is willing to give their love a second chance. He wants to live the rest of his life with her, but his conscience reminds him that he has yet to tell her the truth about what he does for a living.
Encouraged by his love for her, Yunxi tries to quit the mafia because he wants to stop lying to He Na, but this turns the big boss of his gang against him. The boss tries to silence Yunxi by killing him, afraid that he will go to the police with the information he has, once he quits. Yunxi is aware of this, and decides to break it off with He Na once and for all, and forces her to promise him that she will marry her senior.
On her wedding day, Yunxi comes to the church to watch her from afar. Then he leaves, intending to surrender himself to the police so that he may one day stand righteous again before him. On the way, he is ambushed and stabbed. Grievously injured, he staggers on the roads, trying to get to safety.
At that precise moment that he his stabbed, the wedding ring that He Na was going to give to her groom drops to the floor, and she takes it to be a sign that something bad has happened. She runs out of the church and down the roads. Finally she sees Yunxi on the roads, but a car is coming towards him. She tries to push him out of the way, but both of them are knocked down. They are sent to the hospital, where both lie in separate beds in separate rooms, in critical conditions.
(spoiler ahead)
Yunxi eventually dies, while He Na’s heart is badly injured. Yunxi’s heart is given to He Na, and she lives on after the transplant, still believing that Yunxi is alright.
At one of the final scenes, her friends ask her how she is doing, after her heart transplant, and she replies: “I feel as if this heart has always belonged to me.”
(Lol... Typical korean drama rgt?..)
