Secret Garden


Just when I thought I've seen the best ending of a Korean drama in Sungkyunkwan Scandal (for me personally), then now I think there's even better than that. Oh jeez! Now I'm seeing Korean dramas with happy ending. Usually the finale of most Korean dramas that I've watched are hanging. Though it's quite good too to leave the final impression to the viewers but still everyone wants to see a happy ending. In this series Secret Garden, it did gave a happy ending to the story between the two leads and the other characters. But I think I would be more delighted if up to the very ending of the film it had the happy scene instead of recalling the very first time they saw or rather the guy first met the girl at the funeral of her father. It was too sad that the drama would end and the ending is also saddening because of that last scene and the song. The song is good with Hyun Bin singing it. It is also good with Baek Ji Young. They both did justice to the song.


So regarding this drama series, I didn't thought that I would like it this much too. The first episodes where just okay to me. It made me laugh, giggle and fluttered especially by the main guy lead Hyun Bin as Kim Joo Won. He's the reason I hold on to this drama. Yeah, he is really the reason I liked it this much. I liked his character and his portrayal of the character. He gave so much justice as the rich, stubborn, obnoxious, arrogant, smart man who unexpectedly fell in love head over heels to a poor, orphan, warmhearted stuntwoman Gil Ra Im played by Ha Ji Won. And also when they switched their bodies and Joo Won would be Ra Im so he would act so strange doing Ra Im's habits. That was so hilarious. Moreover, I am always smitten to how Joo Won did everything for Ra Im just to see her, to be with her, to make her happy and to win her. He fell unexpectedly to a woman who was out of his standard. And this woman was not an ordinary one. What made him cling more to Ra  Im was her always dumping and ignoring him.



When it was on the last four episodes I started to get hooked with the story because of the events that occurred. I cried so hard like the way I cried in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho. I really loved Joo Won on those episodes. I then also liked the love story between Oska and Director Yoon Seul.

Like any other drama I liked the songs that was played in here. It really added so much to the drama. Now I am really eager to study Korean language.

I think I will be addicted to this for some time until I watch a new series that I would really liked like this one and the others that's been posted here. Well, I just can't get enough.





That Man by Hyun Bin. This is the song that at the ending and at the episode where it was really heartbreaking. I've searched for the translations and it really has a good lyrics. It expresses Kim Joo Won's feelings towards Gil Ra Im.


This is why I liked Kim Joo Won.
