I was planning to give my insights to all past k-drama I've watched. But I can't wait to give my side of story about the latest kdrama craze. Two months ago, I've watched the K-drama "Secret Garden" and I would say it was triple thumbs up! I've watched it 3 times already. I am not over it yet.
Secret Garden is listed on my "must-watch" korean dramas. Kudos to the script writer Kim Eun Suk. It was released by SBS November last year. The story is really enjoyable, the soul swapping, the "rich man loves poor girl story" is nothing new to us, but this drama made it into something with a bit of twist and turns. It's a fantasy romance drama. I must say, Hyun Bin really plays a big part to make this drama much more interesting that it already was Good looks aside superb performance as Joo Won captures the heart of the female audience. I love him even more than before, thanks to this drama.
Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin), is a handsome, perfectionist and arrogant CEO of a famous department store. Gil Ra Im (Han Ji won) is a pretty, feisty and stubborn stunt woman with a big heart. They accidentally met because Joo Won thought she was the actress his cousin is dating. This meeting marks the beginning of a wonderful magical love story.
After their accidental meeting, Joo Won, cannot understand why Gil Ra Im is always on his mind, he was thinking he's going crazy and he blames Ra Im for doing such a thing to him. To make matters worst, a magical event happened, their souls swapped after drinking the mysterious wine that was given to them by an old woman.
The first part of their switch was really funny. Joo Won being Ra Im and Ra Im as Joo Won. I would say Hyun Bin did a great job and Ha Ji Won's act is not bad as well. When they didn't switch back right away, I thought the story was going to be boring but it didn't. Instead it added more flavor to the story line. I'd rather show you than tell you how much this drama had affected me.
The second lead roles played their part well Oska (Yoon Sang hyun) a popular pop singer, whom most women love because of his charismatic attitude towards girls. Yoon Seul (Kim Sa rang), is a movie/CF director , the ex girlfriend of Oska. Both of them still love each other but tries hard to denies how they feel about each other.
Overall, great casting and awesome script equals one hit TV drama. Expect more funfilled scenes. Get to see the look of that "sparkling track suit", the famous Joo Won "chant" and sweet mushy scenes that touches the hearts of the viewers. Not to mention the lines on this drama melts every girl's heart which I will post later. So what's there not to like?
