Tree of Heaven (KDrama / JDrama)

 
Summary:
Hana is a bright young girl who lost her father at a young age. When her mother returns to Japan, she comes with her new Korean husband and his son Yunsuh. Yunsuh?s mother died during his 10th birthday and after her death, he becomes autistic. While Hana is fond of her new step-brother, he wants nothing to do with her. When their parents leave on their honeymoon, Hana?s mother leaves the children with her deceased husband?s sister who will manage their inn during the trip. While they are gone, the aunt and her daughter Maya abuse Hana and make plans to sell the inn in order to pay for gambling debts and college. Despite all of this, Hana finds comfort in her brother who begins to open up to her and eventually speaks after his 20th Birthday and the day his mother passed away. Yunsush's mother died on the same day as he was turning 10, 10 years ago. As they start to have feelings for one another, Hana is afraid to love him. She soon leaves with her "senpai", Fujiwara Ryu, who also likes her. Later on, Maya gets jealous, and decides to make Hana's life even more miserable.

Though this is a Korean drama most of the time they speak Japanese because it takes place in Japan. I am not exaggerating when I say this drama is heartbreaking. Every episode will make you cry rivers. Unless you're a heart less demon or have a tragic life or you find it boring or some other reason. It will be hard to watch and VERY painful. Either because you love it or because you sister forced you to watch it or something.
Overall it has too much negativity such as sadness, frustration, etc. and not enough happiness which is why I'm not sure about the fifth star...
I recommend to only watch the first 6 episodes because you will regret it.
