The Tree Dies Standing (2022)

The Blandest not interesting family drama ever

I was interested at first, I dreamed of thrilling episodes, action and evil work then resolving everything for the greater good
I thought the grandson was a gangster and he will try to get his inheritance by force or try to harm the male lead that took his place or the other guy who wants to marry the female lead fights for her dirty fights or any kind of oh my god what will happen moments?
NONE OF THAT
so unrealistic so bland to the point of what was the writer thinking, this is boring
where are the melodramatic scenes, where are the evil deeds and it's effects, where is the most heartbreaking scenes that make you cry your heart out
why are all those people forgiven and very okay with everything
where is that kind of family that has everyone a decent person and accepts everything even if it is wrong?
even the gangsters who held the grandson's wife hostage we didn't know what happened to them
this is utter boredom and an inconsistent story

Ha ji won was only reason i watched it.

Disappointed in Ha ji won for taking a role of a Incestuous woman falling in love with her married cousin
she fall for him before knowing he wasn't married and wasn't her cousin
so it make it gross
and how come he look like her granny's ex husband was unexplained.
and this drama even normalised Incest and no one call her out on that but they were like once sibling now lovers Nothing wrong about that
if that is case Se jun was better then male lead 😂
male lead wife never call her sister in law out for her actions
ha ji won's ex did not mock her for in love with her own married cousin

A lot of names were thrown around in the beginning with not a lot of context, so you had to make a mental note to connect them later on—a really annoying practice, to say the least. Supposedly, the male lead was in China before coming to SK, but the drama made it a running joke for a couple of episodes that he was a caveman. This made the whole family meeting and living together a bit too cringe. There were many ways to approach such a scenario, but it seems the writer took the lazy route. Some scenes were stretched really thin and became too awkward to continue, like that one scene of both leads and Sang Chul talking about the old hotel staff photo. The drama would've benefited from having more grandchildren and better interconnected stories between them. Although there were three grandchildren, the middle one was an insignificant sidekick and didn't contribute to the dynamic as much as I hoped. The ending brought a change of heart to all of the opposing characters, but some of them didn't seem genuine in the slightest.
