Joen’s said:

This drama reminds me that people heart is the most difficult thing to understand. It constantly changes with times and situations. Like Shin Ji Hyun, she always has a kind heart and loves other people honestly without prejudice. But her kindness makes her friends feel irritated and envious. The true colour of her friend’s heart only showed when something bad happen to her. Indeed, it is difficult to find a true friend that will always be with us during hard and happy times. There is saying that ‘a friend in need is a friend indeed’. So, is it possible for Jin Hyun to find these genuine tears? Who will cry for her? What are the shocking truth that happen before her accident? Watch this drama and you will find the answer :)

Joen's said:

This drama is so exciting and makes me hooked on every episode. Looking at how Do Hyun transform from a warm person to cold hearted man really makes me goosebumps. Jung Yun character is so warm and sweet, her decision to stand by Do Hyun until the end, to support him during hard time makes my heart feel at ease. I have mixed feeling at In Hye character, sometimes I feel sorry for her but most of the times she makes me grinding my teeth. She will do anything to achieve her greed ambitions. And Myung Jun is so unfortunate man that can make me cry. All the actors have done a good job. This drama makes me realizes that we will lose everything if our eyes was blinded by Power, Greed & Money.

Joen's said:

Ha Ji Won is one of my favourite actresses and I have high expectation for this drama. This is the first Sageuk drama that she played before Hwang Jini (2006). She did a good job in portraying Chae Ok a female detective. I can feel the pained feeling of Chae Ok in her love life that cannot fall on love with Hwangbo Yoon because of her social status and also for her forbidden love with Jang Sungbaek. She did most of the stunt actions by herself. This drama full of actions and all the actors played their roles well. This is a good drama and heart breaking at the same time. I will suggest this drama if this is the first time you want to watch Saeguk drama because typical Korean Sageuk drama will have more than 50th episodes.

KDrama - Secret Garden


Title: 시크릿 가든 / Secret Garden
Genre: Romance, comedy, fantasy, melodrama
Episodes: 20 + 1 Special
Broadcast network: SBS

Synopsys:
The main character Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji Won) is a stuntwoman who’s always committed and loves her job so much. She is a humble person in field but has strong will to success in the entertainment industry. She is one of the experts in her field and become the object of envy of top actresses. Her father was died when she still in high school and that makes her independent person and never relies to others.

Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin) is the most eligible bachelor that every woman ever dreamed for. His good looks, educational background and inheritance are his advantages. However, to this arrogant man, a woman is just a strategic partner to produce heir to inherit family's wealth.

One day, he met Ra Im and his views for a woman become a mess. He always longs to see this woman eventhough she not up to his standard of an ideal woman. Ra Im never agrees to his ideology and they always in heat debate everytime they met. But whenever he was alone, he always thinks of this woman and it wounded his pride. For Ra Im, Jo Won is a sweet guy but dangerous.

One fine day they went to a trip in an island and get lost while cycling. They get deep into the mountains and entered a strange garden. A strange grandmother offered them something to eat. Before they went back, she gave them 2 bottles of home made drink as presents. The next day they found themselves changing bodies and it happens whenever it rains.

My Comment:
What can I say? This drama is just so good. With Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin as the main lead nothing can go wrong. Both of them already have their own successful story with their previous project, Ha Ji Won with Hwang Jini, What Happen in Bali & Damo and Hyun Bin with My Lovely Samsoon, Snow Queen & Worlds Within (list of their drama that I have watched), now Secret Garden can be added to this list. In my personal opinion, Secret Garden is the best project from them so far. I bet many KDrama lover out there already put this drama in their all time list like me ;)
