I can understand why many people may dislike or even feel uncomfortable watching Tree of Heaven. However, for me, I found everything to complement each other perfectly, especially by making characters with totally different personalities and ideals to be mixed with one another, and the situations that resulted in this creation. I love this sort of 'slow burn/is it romance/what is this' type of romance, and the combination of this and the unpredictability of other events in this drama made Tree of Heaven something I didn't want to finish (because I wanted to savour every little moment), but was too brilliant not to binge by the end.

Park Shin Hye (FL) deserves an individual shout out for her phenomenal performance here - and this is even when the acting by all of the casted members was a great sight to see. This compliment is coming from someone who thought she was just a 'good' actress. Now I know she's definitely more than good! This character helped her performance shine so bright, a perfect casting choice.

OST was absolutely perfect too, there's even a 'song' that contains whistling only, and still manages to fit into the story perfectly and is so catchy that I kept humming or whistling during the times I wasn't watching Tree of Heaven. Also, I'm not much of a 're-watcher' but even I was replying scenes in my first watch through as I just loved watching the repeating moments.

Like I said before, I understand why people may not like this. But I definitely recommend people to give Tree of Heaven a try, and find out for yourself.
