More on Tree of Heaven. Because I can't help myself.

Um. So I am not sure why this kdrama of all is most disturbing to me. I think it's because Hana is so kind and there is always something unnerving about stories where people are undone by their kindness and is what begins Hana's issues. Because she wants to reach out to her Oppa and she doesn't think about how that will end up and when she realises they need each other it is too late...

Poor Hana. Of all the drama heroines I feel she was short changed the most because she was so young and got dragged in without any warning at all. Poor Hana! And I can't help wondering what on earth Yoon-Suh thought would happen after she married Ryu because of him.

Exactly. But I think the reason she didn't think is because up until she was left with evil Aunt, she'd had such a pleasant, kind life so to her being kind and reaching out was natural. I don't think she realized what it would do to someone who had no other connection.

Well, there is hope for her in the future.

I don't think YS was thinking at all, btw. Just a panicked emotional reaction.

I like to think Hana went on to have a happy life of some sort. At least in the end she seemed to come to some sort of peace - more than she had while YS was around.

You know, I was really unnerved by how much I hated evil aunt and cousin. You got the feeeling that they were the sort of people who would always be unhappy and blame everyone else because they were miserable no matter what life gave them. But even when Hana's life became really horrible she didn't get twisted like them.
