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.

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 ;)

My Comment:
Watching their student's life makes me missed my college days so much. It really fun but it will be better if they can speak English clearly if not fluently (I too can't speak English fluently and it's understandable for Asian who use English as their second language). I can only understand Kim Tae Hee's dialog without looking at subtitles. Overall I love this drama. At first, I hesitant to watch it because I'm afraid it will be boring knowingly the storyline is about law. But as I done watching first episode I can't stop to watch the next because it's really addictive.

My Comment:
This is one of my all time favourite drama. Lee Seung Gi's acting has improved a lot in this series. It really annoyed me when he do immature thing in the earlier episode, he makes me laugh hard with his funny scene and he makes my heart torn when he cried. Shin Min Ah acting also amazing this drama. This is the first time i watched her play as a bright and cheerful girl. She is the perfect actress to be a gumiho and to be paired with Lee Seung Gi. I love 'hoi couple' forever.
My favourite song: Losing my mind by Lee Seung Gi & Fox Rain by Lee Sun Hee

Finally I've got the time to watch this drama. I've bought the DVD a few months ago but keep on postpone to watch it because it has 55 episodes and I don't like to watch it part by part. At last I'm able to watch it last week and I've got to spend 4 days to finish all 55 episodes and I really like it.
It is a historical story as well as romance that were set in the Paekche Kingdom. It relates to a well known legend in Korea regarding Mu's marriage (30th king of Paekche) to a princess of Silla (Princess Seonhwa). In this drama, Mu of Paekche appears as the hidden son of King Wideok of Paekche (27th king of Paekche) because his mother is a palace dancer. In order to protect him from danger, his mother move from place to place to avoid from being recognized by their enemies. After the death of his mother, Mu went to Silla and meet with Princess Seonhwa accidentally. During this time, Mu doesn't know that he is the heir of Paekche kingdom.
The young Seodong (Mu's childhood name) falls in love with Princess Seonhwa and intentionally spreads a song about the princess and himself among the people. Luckily, the princess also love him, but they have to face many separations and challenges for their love because they come from two rivalry kingdom. But their love win...opss I’ve given the spoiler for those who are going to watch this drama...but you will cry in the end...at least...I am crying...why? you should watch it yourself..:P
Besides the love story between this couple, the drama also enlighten the story of lower class people rising to the top, the hardship for Seodong (King Mu) to claim his right, betrayal and trust in friendship, dirty politic among nobles and most interesting part is that it focuses on a fierce technology war among kingdom that exist in that time...almost 1,500 years ago...
So if you are k-drama lover and like historical genre, you should not miss to watch this drama...:)
