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!!! 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?

** 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..)

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 :)

Exactly! I am more of "oh, this is an interesting type of beauty" then "I get dirty thoughts every time I look".. Kame in particular, I still struggle with his looks. I think he is a great actor and I love an actor in him, though!

SO TRUE! Not long until "The Devil" starts!!!!!!!!!!!

I can totally understand if you're still struggling with Kame's looks XD The first time I saw him act was in Nobuta wo Produce, and I agree that he's a very good actor ^^

I cannot wait too, for The Devil! Ji Hoon looks so good there!! :)
