"Tree of heaven" or LeeWan, Lee Wan, Lee Wan. Pic spam of Lee Wan. Lee Wan in "Lets go to the beach"

Tree of heaven
This is a sign of a serious obsession – it is Sunday evening and all I can think of is my new Korean drama obsession "Tree of Heaven". ;D It is just fabulous beyond words and it is pushing all my favourite buttons all at once. I am swooning non-stop.

1. A hero with the dark past who wants to stay away from the love of his life because he doesn't want to hurt her - Check
2. A hero brought to redemption by the power of his love – Check
3. Snow fights - Check
4. Million Red Roses that the hero gets for the heroine – Check
6. Incredibly stylish black garb our hero is dressed in - Check
5. Bare feet and exemplary abdominal muscles – Check


A scene that gets me so much that I had to go for a jog around the park after watching it, or symbolical feet washing

Oh, this was so intense that it send me into spin: Yon Suh has a notion that "If your feel aren't cold, how will your heart can be hot" and because of it he goes around with bare feet to stop his heart from been so dark and cold and he never quite manages to get rid of this freezing feeling in his heart. So he goes around barefoot. But when he meets Hana again she buys him socks and tells him that his heart will never be cold again because they are together. And she puts them on for him. ** swoon **












And then he looks at her like this:



And he looks at her like that. (And I would have been passing out at this minute already if I was Hana)



And this is a symbolical feet washing and so much "my thing".



And when he looks at her like this I have to stop watching and go out for a jog around the park. This drama will be so good for my fitness level.





But of course, the main thing about "Tree of heaven" for me is the male protagonist Yoon Suh played by Lee Wan who possesses a wonderful combination of masculinity, angst and boyishness. Plus he has a "speaking" face..



Pictures of Lee Wan, oh I swoon again!! Pictures are taken from soompi forums mostly. Thank you, soompi!!!









































Let's go to the beach
I am looking forward to Lee Wan's previous drama "Let's go to the beach". It looks like something happy and bright, but I am sure that it will have some great angst too. A synopsis from Drama Wiki:

"This drama is about a hotel's lifeguards. The story will be based on the love between an illegitimate son, Jang Tae-pung and his half brother (different mothers), Jang Tae-hyun and the hotel owner's grand daughter, Yoon So-ra." Illegitimate son - sounds sooo good to me!

Anyone saw it? Is it good?

UpdateEEEEEEEE! I am watching an episode 1 of "Let's go to the beach" and this is a love from first sigh. Stroppy but gorgeous Jang Tae-pung (Lee Wan) + Spirited Yoon So-ra + so happy and funny from the word go. YESSSSSSSSSSS! I lurve it!!! [livejournal.com profile] dangermousie, this reminds me of "My Girl" so much.

These pictures are from Lee Wan's next drama – Lets' go to the beach. Guess what I am watching next?

Oh. There's just too much hot in the Korean gene pool. I'm melting here big time. Guhhhh.

Tree of Heaven, was it? *writes down, underlines five times*

Is it some genetic experiment that went RIGHT?? And where have I been before I knew Lee Wan?

Tree of Heaven, was it?

I watched some more and they are having a joking fight in the bath. And he is half-naked. Now I must go for a jog again.

They're doing something extremely, extremely right - I've yet to completely figure out what it is, though. Maybe if I just stare at pictures of various hot Koreans, it'll all come to me, little by little...

...Hey, I'll take any excuse. :D And oh yes, thanks for picspamming. I don't know when I'll get to watch Tree of Heaven but something tells me it'll be veeeery soon.

EEEEE! The beginning of the bath fight. I am so sorry - it is blurry !!

I want to visit Korea.. :D

EEEEEE! *dies*

He's so handsome and can act so well. GUH! I need to try not to stare too long at these lovely pictures. :P I'm really glad Let's Go to the Beach is like My Girl. I guess I'll have to download that too. :D

[identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com 2007-03-11 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh my GUH. I am trying not to stare too much because otherwise I'll be incoherent.

And I am so getting Let's Go to the Beach. I am dangerously close to jilting Rain as my fave kdrama guy here :)

EEEEEEEE! I just finished episode 1 and it is truly GREAT! Lee Wan plays an illegitimate son of a hotel chain owner. He is cheeky and has got a temper, but inside he is gold! His brother is some kind of jealous jerk who is trying to put him down low in a front of their father. And there is a girl Yoon So-ra ,spirited and funny, that Tae-pung met by chance. Yoon So-ra in her stead met an evil brother as well and seems to have fallen in love with this evil brother. Lee wan is soooooo cute in it and just has joined the Life Guards because this is what his evil brother put him to do. And it is genuinely funny and fast going……. I think I will be hardly sleeping today…

It reminds me of "My Girl" and "Full House" a little, very cute and funny. And Lee Wan is doing swimming!!

Sorry for gushing!! I really really love it!

Just finished 1 episode. So cute and funny. It reminds me of "My Girl" and "Full House". I guess there will be some angst ahead as it is a Korean drama, but it all very fluffy at the moment. Lee Wan is sooooooo cute.

Tae-pung is an illegitimate son of a hotel chain owner. Hot tempered, cheeky, but you can see his heart is gold. He has an evil brother who seems to be jealous of him and is trying to put him down in a front of the father. And evil brother just made him join the Life Guard. EEEEEEEE! This means we are going to see him half-naked quite a bit, right? Thank you, evil brother!

Tae-pung met So-ra by chance and she is spirited, funny and loves her grandpa who is a small hotel owner. And she met an evil brother already too and seems to have fallen in love with him...

Sorry for gushing - this is so good I think i am staying awake today. :D

Lee wan is soooooo cute in it and just has joined the Life Guards Oh dear, I'm so shallow the first thing I thought was that means he will be shirtless a lot, lol! ^^ EEEEE! It sounds really cute!! Don't be sorry I'm glad you're gushing because that means it's really great! I'm glad you're enjoying it!! Have you seen Hanadan yet? I can't believed I haven't. I think I'm just in denial that it's about to end soon so i'm holding out.

EEEEEEEE! SO true! The first time we see him in epoisode 1 he is a swimming instructor and is wearing swimming pants only. :D

And there is some of "Dirty dancing" in it too. Tae-pung seems to be good at everything including dancing and business, but his brother throws all his business proposals away. So Tae-pung seems to think nothing about himself, but he is so fab. I am gushing again

I haven't seen Hanadan yet - My brain is completely Lee Wan at the moment.

And I reached the second bath scene in "Tree of Heaven". I feel I am going to watch this until I drop.

Oh my Gosh, glad I am not the only one. I got totally sidetracked with ToH.

And I am so checking out LGttB! Lifeguards=shirtlessness and I need something light too! EEE!

I haven't been this obsessed since I discovered Rain. :D (all your fault, of course. :D)

And I am so checking out LGttB! Lifeguards=shirtlessness and I need something light too! EEE!

And Lee Wan can dance fabulously well! He is teaching So-ra dancing at the moment. ** swoons incoherently **

And now we are cross-infecting each other :D

But yes, I haven't been this obsessed since Rain too!

There is dancing? OMG. I am so SOLD. Did you get it off d-addicts?

There is a dance competition and So-ra entered because she wants to win a ticket to Australia. And Lee Wan CAN DANCE!! (Will try to spoil no more for you)

I got it off jdramas, I got a new Premium account for that. :D

Wow. What a picspam!!!! :) I am keen on watching now!

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
** stares again at Lee Wan in black ** There is just something about Korean actors!! I haven't been that in love since I discovered Rain.

I think I a type of cool masculine guy is something that makes my heart to beat faster then anything else. I like different types and appreciate half-feminine beauty of many Japanese actors, but this is my biggest thing.. (Sorry for rambling..)

OMG, Lee Wan. I fell for him hard when I saw him in Stairway to Heaven. There's something about him that's just...guh.

I think that he's going to be in a Drama with Anne Suzuki, called "Mokuren no Hana". This happens to kick ass because I love both of them xD

I saw Lee Wan in Snow White, and I fell in love with him! The drama was ok-ish, but I kept on watching because of him. I've been meaning to watch Tree of Life, but I just kept putting it on hold. Now, with both your and dangermousie's picspamming awesomeness, I don't think I'll be able to resist putting it off. That makes, what, seven dramas that I'm in the middle of currently? : P

I am having aserious crush of my life. I am loving him in "Let's go to the beach" though he is so different there.

OMPH!! He is starring in Japanese drama! This is a dream come true - Japanese drama with one of the most gorgeous Korean actors in it! EEEEEEEEE! Oh My gosh, Suzuki Anne looks incredibly pretty!! I haven't seen any of her dramas, I MUST find some!!

Please feel free to take the pictures - no credit needed. I have collected them from different places, mostly from soompi and "Tree of Heaven" screencaps are mine.

Is it happy or full of angst? I am so sorry for asking – the description on Drama Wiki doesn't make too much sense. Seems like on of the dramas that don't have a particular interesting storyline…But I will probably end up watching it because my crush on Lee Wan is HUGE!!

EEEEE! That's a lot!! I have two going at the moment too.:D, not counting HYD2. Plus to "Tree of Heaven" I am watching "Let's go to the beach" with Lee Wan, to balance the angst. I like it very much too - so very cute and funny and fast.

Snow White is pretty happy. It borders on being angsty every once in a great while, but on the whole it's light and fluffy. The story is essentially about this girl who's in love with her best friend, but he only sees her as a friend. Because she's so in love with him, she can never tell him no, and ends up taking in his younger brother. Love chaos triangles/rectangles ensue. I thought it was pretty cute, especially because of Lee Wan. And he's so young!
I should try your method of balancing angst with fluffy, because I always end up watching angsty ones with other angsty ones and get incredibly depressed at the end : )

[identity profile] alexandral.livejournal.com 2007-03-12 10:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much! I think I am bound to watch it.!!! Even though by the look of things Lee Wan is not in a role where he will get the girl at the end. (Big, big minus!!)

"Tree of Heaven" is not really depressing for me, just full of angst. I can't really bare well a true depressing stuff. I tried Korean drama "Piano" recently and could not cope. But yep, still helps to balance it. I should have watched ALTK and "Full House" together.. :D

LOL. You didn't ramble at all! I mean, what are fandoms for, right? ;) I agree with you. Hot angsty masculine guys are totally my thing. I'm actually not that into "feminine" beauties, you know the over adrogynous type (eg. I would classify Kame into that). I don't dislike them, and I guess, like you, I can appreciate their unusual beauty, but they're just not my type (which is alright!) ^^

But yeah. Korean actors? They sure have it best, LOL :)
