Reviews
Ok I'm going to try to make this short...
So plot wise this story was a very heavy melodrama but for me it wasn't overpowering like most melodramas. It had a different feeling to me. A bittersweet feeling. It always felt as though even during the happy moments there were hard ones.
Yes this drama is painful to watch. It's a story of a forbidden love filled with heartbreak. What can you expect? I loved every single second of it though.
All of the cast gave of this real and raw energy. The emotions that they expressed just felt so real...
Park Shin Hye was only 16 at the time when she filmed this drama but she was able to portray a adult and someone who was being abused with ease. I was impressed not very many 16 year olds would be able to do what she did.
Lee Wan who I had never heard of before was great. He didn't speak for a large part of the drama but was able to express himself without talking. That's when you know their good actors.
I tried listening to the OST after finishing the drama but I kept on visualizing what had happened. The OST was astounding but I recommend waiting a few days before you start listening to it again.
I gave this a low re-watch value because for me it would be to hard watching this drama again..while knowing what happens.
I would say to everyone go and watch this drama! I highly recommend but do it when you are feeling happy and are in a good place.
This drama is so sad, tears falling down my cheeks TT_TT when watching it. My eyes were big and puffy too.
Just listen to the OST makes me cry a lot. I cried out loud too. That's how sad this movie is.
I rewatched Tree of Heaven, and I couldn't even bear the pain of this drama!
This is a really painful but beautiful drama.
The music is a great masterpiece, I love everything of this great drama.
Please watch this and feel the pain YoonSuh & Hana felt.
I recommend this to everyone, its watchable, painful, but yet, still beautiful.
I just am really obsessed with this sad sad sad... drama, just thinking of it is so sad.
I love it! I think you would too!
Its just 10 episodes that you'll enjoy, its not a waste of drama time!
