Uchida Asahi - Fujiwara Ryu
Park Shin Hye and Lee Wan acted together again as step-siblings.
This story is so similar to SBS's Stairway to Heaven which was shown in 2003. Both Lee Wan and Park Shin Hye acted as the younger Han Tae Hwa and Han Jeong Seo in STH, where they were step-siblings.
But this time, twists are different and the step-siblings have really fallen in love with each other.
Hirose Hana is a Korean-Japanese who lived in a small town in Japan with his mom, aunt and cousin, Maya. Hana's father died when she was eight and her mom was left to manage their small in.
When Hana was 18, her mom re-married another Korean man and she brought him to Japan together with his son, Han Yun Suh who became autistic since his mom died. Yun Suh loved to walk bare-footed in the snow, waiting for his mom to return.
Even though Yun Suh doesn't speak, Hana still tried hard to take care of him, even trying to learn Korean for him. She did her job as a dongsaeng (little sister) to her oppa (older borther).
But when Yun Suh's dad and Hana's mom went out for a vacation, Hana's aunt and cousin have suddenly changed their attitude. With the absence of their parents, the aunt and cousin abused the step-sibs by not giving them food for breakfast, and letting Hana work all over the inn.
Because of this, Hana and Yun Suh found refuge in each other. Yun Suh slowly became cheerful whenever he's with Hana and soon, he fell in love with her.
Hana knew this would happen as she was also slowly falling for her step brother but because she knew it was illegal, she tried to hide her feelings and went out with Fujiwara Ryu, a senior in their school who also happened to like her.
But Yun Suh was determined to make Hana love him too, although it made his step sister very uncomfortable. Finally, because of Hana's resistance, Yun Suh left her on the day of her graduation.
Two Years later, Hana and her best friend Mika have mastered Korean and used the language as their conversational language as they worked in Ryu's hotel as chamber maids. Ryu wanted to give Hana a better job inside the hotel but she refused, wanting to work the way she worked in their inn before.
Hana and Yun Suh's path crossed once again when he started to take care of her. Though Hana didn't know, she had been doubting that her oppa was just around, watching out for her. Indeed he was. Yun Suh became the gang leader of a secret society in Tokyo, having almost murdered the leader of the gang's enemy.
Because of this, he became rich and so he was able to take care of Hana without problems. However, being with Hana also meant putting her life in danger. So he tried to be with her only as a brother, but Hana this time wanted to love him as a person especially after finding out that their parents have died in a car crash 2 years ago.
Meanwhile Maya, Hana's cousin became a hostess on a nightclub and the mistress of Yun Suh's gang father. Seeing Yun Suh, she fell in love with him, and was determined to take him away from Hana.
But Hana won't stop. She let her oppa go two years ago and this time, she wanted to hold him beside her, never letting him go...
But...will their love still be the same as two years ago now that they are leading different lives and some people are already blocking their path?
This mini-series portrays the other outcome of Stairway to Heaven had Han Tae Hwa and Han Jeong Seo pursued their love as step-siblings.
Like STH, this also has a sad ending which will really make you cry buckets of tears.
Tree of Heaven tells about the undying love of two persons regardless of status and regardless of the law. They may be siblings by law but for them, being legally related won't stop them from showing their love for each other.
Although this series is really sad, it still made me realize how much a person is willing to give up just for the one he loves, even if it meant losing his happiness.
Special salute to the actors Park Shin Hye and Lee Wan for portraying such awesome roles! I never thought they could act this great! They even made the characters seem real.
Five stars for this series! =]
