Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Kim Joo-Won (Hyun-Bin) is from a wealthy family, smart and good looking. He runs the luxurious Roel Department store, which his family owns. Oska (Yoon Sang-Hyun) is a popular singer around Asia, but he doesn't have musical talent. He is also a womanizer. Joo-Won and Oska are also cousins and highly competitive towards each other.

On a request by Oska, Joo-Won goes to pick up actress Park Chae-Rin from a shooting set. Joo-Won mistakes stunt woman Gil Ra-Im (Ha Ji-Won) for Park Chae-Rin and takes stunt woman Ra-Im to a hotel. Oska made the request in an attempt to prevent Park Chae-Rin from revealing their relationship to the press. At the hotel, Joo-Won discovers that the woman he picked is not actress Park Chae-Rim but a stunt woman. During this time, Joo-Won starts to experience strong feelings for the feisty stunt woman, even though she isn't his type. Joo-Won tried getting Ra-Im out of his mind for Ra-Im does not own a high status life nor is even rich. Nevertheless, Joo-Won can't stop thinking about Ra-Im.

Later, Joo-Won sneaks into an action school to watch Ra-Im. Meanwhile, Ra-Im tries her best to ignore Joo-Won because she knows Joo-Wan belongs to another higher social level compared to her. Nevertheless, Ra-Im can't help her blooming feelings towards Joo-Won.

Yeun-Sul (Kim Sa-Rang) and Oska are ex-lovers, but they can't seem to forget each other. Because Yeun-Sul had a high-living status, she was arranged to attend a blind date with Joo-Won. Even though Joo-Wan made it clear that he doesn't have interest in her, Yeun-Sul keeps pursuing Joo-Won. Yeun-Sul knows Joo-Wan is Oska's cousin and wants to use him to get under Oska's skin. Yeun-Sul then manages to become the director for Oska's next music video, which is scheduled to be shot on Jeju Island.

Meanwhile, stunt woman Ra-Im is a fan of Oska's music and wins a contest to go to Jeju Island with Oska himself. Ra-Im also wanted to take part in Oska's music video. Joo-Won learns that Ra-Im won the contest to spend time with Oska and decides to follow them to Jeju Island.

On Jeju Island, the main participants all gather. While they were mountain biking, Ra-Im gets separated from Joo-Won and Oska. Joo-Won searched frantically to find Ra-Im. Eventually, Joo-Won was able to find Ra-Im but ended up stranded in a mysterious restaurant in the middle of the woods called 'Secret Garden'. Even more mysteriously, the owner of 'Secret Garden' seems to know both Joo-Won and Ra-Lim very well. The owner presented two bottles of homemade floral wine to Joo-Won and Ra-Im. They manage to find their way back to the hotel before night and went their separate ways. At night, neither Joo-Won nor Ra-Im find themselves able to sleep and each takes this time to clear their mind while drinking their individual gifted wine. A twist of intrigue takes place in the plot when both Ra-Im and Joo-Won wake up in the morning to find that their souls have switched to the other's body!

Comments

Ish Oct 18 2023 9:40 pm I really enjoyed this drama. All the actors are superb and the story is warm, charming and intelligent. I loved the clever fairy-tale references. Ha Je-Won is a beauty and Son Ye-Jin's appearance in the last episode a gift. At the time this drama was filmed, I'm sure Hyun-Bin didn't know he was going to marry her. The destiny of two beautiful actors. Even if some episodes are a little light, in the end, the last episode is a pure marvel. Thank you for everything.

CHERRYL Bride Jul 29 2023 8:59 pm I can’t express just how much I’ve enjoyed this show watching it almost every day. Thank you for creating this wonderful program and the soundtrack I listen to several times a day.I wish I was born in Korea. Will learn to speak soon. Thank you from the bottom of my heart once again.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

MR.Zero Mar 15 2023 1:04 am EP 1-15 = Simple Korean Romantic Drama Comedy show EP 15-20 turn everything in this show to masterpiece

Meche Apr 18 2022 7:14 pm I really enjoyed this k-drama…..15 out of 10! My number ONE (#1) fantasy romantic, comical, corny-Korean melodrama of all times!

Kim Joo-Won was arrogant, conceited, naughty, clever, cruel and lunatic. Sometimes he acts as a mature man, and some others act like a kid. Because of this mental condition of the main character and his obsession/love for Gil Ra-Im, cultural barriers, class differences, and some other rude behaviors of other characters didn’t affect the soap opera, keeping me wanting to see the next episode. Their name will be always be in my mind… Kim Joo-Won. Like: self-determination and perseverance of Scarlet O’Hare (Vivien Leigh), self-confidence of Mona Lisa Vito, (Marisa Tomay) Cynical Rick-(Humphrey Bogart). Kim Joo-won and Gil Ra-im are characters for generation to come! Great ending, Kim Joo-won accepting Gil Ra Im for what she is.

Best chemistry ever. Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won. Hope they will have a reunion in another k-drama or secret garden #2

Phases that will be always remembered, I’ll tell mom, /don’t like to drive,/ Best?sure?check?/*don’t know I only read the titles/my ideal person changed/I’ll be your little mermaid/I love you only you/ ra im= give me your son I’ll take responsibility and make him happy/I’ll take you in my arms, so I can see your face…….plus many, many others.

In Hyde Jekyll,Me—double personality….. a cure? impossible to believe! Insult to intelligence. In Secret Garden I felt in love with Kim Joo-Won because he was”semi-crazy!” jajaja

Sara Feb 21 2022 5:27 pm One of the best of best korean dramas I've watched!!

John Smith Feb 07 2022 2:00 pm After becoming addictive to KDramas after watching Crash Landing On You's Son Ye Jin during the pandemic I have ping-ponged between drooling over actresses like Kim Tae Hee, Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji-hyun, Oy Yeon-seo (My Sassy Girls), Shin Min Ah, Kwon Nara, Gong Seung-Yeon, Han So-Hee, Nam Ji-hyun the list goes on and on. And now after watching Secret Garden Ha Ji Won is the girl for me by a tad over Yoo In-na. If only I had invested like Peter Thiel and had a $5 Billion ROTH IRA I would now be in South Korea dating these beautiful actresses after paying off the wife and kids. Instead I invested in FORD and can only drool over these actresses while binge-watching on Netflix eating Doritos in my basement. C'est La Vie!

glen Jan 01 2022 5:07 am Great and obvious pairing of the two leads. The kisses were mutually enjoyed unlike some closed mouth pressing that can't fool the viewers. I enjoyed it mostly - I couldn't see the point of the gay character - it was there purely for political correctness - this annoys me a lot. Never mind - at least Lee Jon-Suk showed us what a rising young future super star could do. One thing I totally found ridiculous was the children being allowed to stay with Joo-Won's witchbytch mother - she would have lost no time in alienating those kids from their parents and teaching them her horrendous ideals - what a totally idiotic thing to do.

Fiona Oct 15 2021 9:26 pm Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin.. please reunite!

This drama is so tender, and I love the soundtrack.

GRI's character weakened at the end, but there were many great moments in the drama that make you overlook the weaker last episodes.

The final scene in this drama has the most impact though, and it remains my top favourite romantic drama.

The chemistry between the main leads is magnetic and holds up in 2021. In fact, I would say, it's even better than what you see now. The actors have such a great connection.

Anna Lee Oct 12 2021 7:13 am Most satisfying ending ever. You always want to know what happens in their romantic future. Best comedy . Didn't care as much about 2nd story, but older adult characters really well-done. I have looked for other dramas using Oska actor.

Mari Sep 22 2021 4:46 pm I watched this series already 4 times!! I just love it! A masterpiece, a timeless classic. A great story, funny too, great music, powerful acting! And the leads, my god just brilliant, excellent. A+ series. Definitely a rate of 10/10!!

send you to naihe Aug 11 2021 3:23 pm So I just wanna say I was extremely pissed at the male lead. I freaking hate him ok. It looks like a toxic relationship with a narcissist but this one is not gonna end up in a divorce because the female lead is big masochist. I've watched 8 episodes till now and I think I'm fed up seriously. I feel like the plot is everywhere and the couple's relationship is as messy as it can get. At times I just wanted the female lead to slap the male lead and just never let him appear in front of her again,it was just too much. The way they met was also very strange and I felt the male lead was like a stalker. I know I don't understand his mental problems but that doesn't give him the right to play with people's feelings like this and keep on hurting them just because he can't get himself to agree to a certain point of view. Overall the male lead has a crappy double personality wherein he only shows his crappy self to the female lead and others and the good side of him does things without anyone knowing, do you want praise for doing a good thing for once after all its hard for everyone to keep up with your shitty self. Ok you know what I'm done and I wish to never watch any dramas similar to this again.

Yourfavcommentator Aug 09 2021 9:34 am Love it

nahatsu Jul 11 2021 4:00 pm Where do I begin to say....how much I treasured this series?! Words cannot bring how much I loved it, all together. It's my 'go to' when I want to lift my spirits.

2021 Jun 28 2021 4:28 pm To All commenting on this tv show in 2021, this was written and made in 2010. This was a very popular drama in Korea. You have to understand the culture. It's like people in US saying that Seinfeld is a very boring TV show. It might seem like it in 2021 but when it aired, it was popular just like this show. Understand the timeline as you make comments!

Tinbokjoo May 27 2021 8:01 am I've seen this for about 10 times! Super goooood I will never get tired watching this over and over again. Timeless classic!

Such a clichè drama Apr 08 2021 11:36 pm Forced myself to finish this. One clichè after another. I don't recommend.

Julie Mar 07 2021 1:09 am With the pandemic on I have taken to watching some old classics that kicked off some careers. I’ve watched Boys over Flowers and Secret Garden. Hyun Bin has always been able to act, but has had to work on his weedy body and medium good looks He is now good looking, fit and excellent at comedy, drama and adventure. He has grown. Lee Min Ho has always been outstandingly good looking, so much that he has never bothered to build his body which is still too skinny. He has always looked good in any costume but he can’t act. He was wooden in BOF and still can’t act in KEM, too pleased with his good looks. His best was Legend of the Sea paired with the brilliant Jung Ji Hyun. BOF and SG are very similar, rich guy poor plain girl, memory loss, tragic past. Script writing is better in SG, very tight and funny, but strangely the plot of BOF is more charming. Both are a bit too long and have good tracks. Both have strong support roles. Lovely to see Son Ye Jin in a cameo in BOF, she has always been beautiful and a brilliant actress. Ironic that she and HB are now a couple, serendipity, they both act really well and I wish them good luck and hope to see them paired again.

One of the most artificial romances I've ever watched. Honest review Feb 21 2021 4:53 am The first episodes were so slow and boring! I felt drained after each episode. The show picks up only after the 4th episode. It's 20 episodes, but there's not enough plot to fill so much time. Several episodes in the middle were so mind numbing! The show is written by Kim Eun Sook, so the signature last 3 episodes might make you think that the show is good, be careful. One of the biggest problems was romance, which was so artificial. You know, it's one of those shows where the male lead (a CEO with a past trauma, of course, such a usual, romanticized phenomenon in asian dramas) starts chasing the female lead only because the writer wants him to. The leads fall for each other out of pity! They both have tragic past! But that's not how you fall in love!!! You can feel pity towards someone if they're suffering, but if you take the pity away, what do you have left to feel for them? Pity is mistaken for love again. What is left when the wounds have healed? The characters are extremely bland and (!) clichè (take the CEO with a past trauma as an example), they won't make you fall in love with them, they're all boring to tears, they're all lacking, even the supporting ones. You won't cry when they cry, you won't feel happy for them when they first kiss or when they finally get together etc. One of the pluses of the show is definitely the OST, I really really liked it and I even saved some of the tracks to my playlist. And yeah, there's such a hot, steamy kiss when they finally do it at his villa!!! But I wouldn't recommend you this show anyway. There are no life lessons. This makes the show a waste of your time. So watch it on your own risk.

Neddy Jan 21 2021 3:13 pm Clearly 12 out of 10.... ...feel good drama with an amazing cast.

Hawaii Dec 30 2020 8:31 pm The story was nice but it did not make anysene.

drama-addict Dec 20 2020 7:27 pm I understand that it has become a classic over the last 10 years after its release, and why some scenes have become iconic.. It’s also one of those dramas showing this intense love where the couple would die for each other. Then again, this drama showed mostly how much some people intentionally hurt each other(verbally) in a relationship.

As often in some dramas it was very hard getting into it. But I couldn’t stop watching. However, it did not land my top 10 list. Unfortunately I can’t fully love this drama.

Logical issues and plot holes aside, there are two major weak points that overshadowed the good sides for me:

First, I hated the main lead for forcing himself onto her, sexual harassment to the core, not cute. The way he behaved and how he insulted her with no right was disgusting. I probably shipped everyone for her except him for more than 10 episodes. I really don’t get at which point she fell for him.

Second, the directing and acting of the swatched body scenes. I was really here for it! While some might dislike this kind of fantasy plot I absolutely enjoy it as it brings out so much of the actors talents! In shows like “Freaky Friday” or “Kill me heal me”, etc. I don’t even need a hint of who the actor is portraying. It’s in the facial features, the tone and the act, creating ground for wonderful comedic situations. In this perspective the drama was completely disappointing. Hyun Bin unfortunately did not convince me here. His portrayal of KRI was a super timid too girly KRI instead of the cool woman she really was. He was probably trying to show the contrast to himself here, to show that he was suddenly a woman. It seemed more like a parody instead of slipping into her skin. Her portrayal of him wasn’t much better. Of course I don't know anything about the background of the shooting. It could have been due to lack of time and preparation provided by filming circumstances and not related to the actors' skills. In addition, there was this disappointing directing decision to let the bodies swap, but then to show the filter of the true state of their minds instead of actually showing the scenes from the swapped point of view. Hereby they also wasted the potential to break cliches that the actress could be the leading force in love scenes. Rather, there was also this ridiculous dialogue after the renewed body swap "Oh no, now we can not kiss until the next rain" Oh really why is that?!

I think since, Hyun Bin has improved as an actor and become more attractive. I watched Alhambra and CLOY before this. Although he acted a lot more versatile with a broader emotional range here due to his KRI role. I loved the main lead, she has this pleasant vibe and I loved her role as a strong and cool stuntwoman. Yet, when she got together with KJW she lost it over time, which made me enjoy her character less.

On a human level, Oska disappointed me in various moments. For example after KRI woke up in KJWs body and him boring a grudge towards her.

gaskarth Dec 08 2020 10:44 pm Everything about this drama is perfect. This is absolutely the best Korean Drama you could ever expected. It's just so good and perfect from so many aspects.

chopper Dec 03 2020 12:04 pm Till this day, this is still my number one K-Drama of all time. It's hard to find drama that can match up now... my top dramas:

1 : Secret Garden (2010-2011) 2 : Stairway to Heaven (2003) 3 : Coffee Prince (2008) 4 : That Winter The Wind Blow (2013) / It's Okay That's Love (2014) 5 : My Girl (2005)

I realized that it's mostly old dramas, but that's just my list till this day.

SeGa fan Nov 13 2020 9:26 am Happy 10th Anniversary to this Legendary Kdrama!

Ron Oct 24 2020 7:32 am Please make a reunion documentary of secret garden like coffee prince

seph Oct 24 2020 7:26 am I hope make a reunion documentary of al cast of secret garden like coffee prince. please make it?

Nairobi Oct 15 2020 1:13 am What to say about this drama? This is one of the iconic drama in K drama history for me. It's so funny and pleasant to watch, chemistry between Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won also so great. Don't forget the iconic push up kiss and coffee latte kiss lol

Dramalover Sep 19 2020 7:19 am @Koreanloverr I think you are missing out the point of this drama. This drama is about try to understand each other. Both of them are strong character and both are really different from each other. Kim Ju Won didn't belittled Gil Raim, it's just his first time to meet that kind of girl that is faaar away from his imagination. He complained a lot but at the end he always accept her as she is. And it's not like Gil Raim care about his taste.

Pao2 Sep 16 2020 9:05 pm Best chemistry ever.. Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin was really great. Hopefully, they will have reunion in another drama..

Jiyuu Sep 10 2020 4:41 am Secret Garden was hugely popular but unfortunately, it's not my cup of tea. The main character here is a jerk and I couldn't enjoy it. I am so sooooo glad that Jang Hyuk didn't accept the role. If he did, I doubt he would chosen to do another romcom after (Fated to Love You) and we would have been deprived of one of the most endearingly weird and nuanced kdrama character ever (FTLY's Lee Geon).

Koreanloverrr Jul 06 2020 3:56 am I just decided to rewatch this drama after 5 years and I realized this drama was so f****d up. Like the main lead was basically always being rude downright disrespectful towards the female lead even when she was always saying she had no interest in him. And at my first time of watching it I found it cute but now, if a guy I said No to acts that kind of way to me, I am calling the cops on you, to grant a restraining order. You come to my place of work, insult and criticize my appearance and my family background and even get insulted by your family members when they are not even dating. Telling her what he wants from her, to be the little mermaid, like dude, the f**k? He doesn’t even listen to her point of view and always believes he is always right. That is one controlling somebody.

I remember a scene where he told the female lead to come to a bar to give him his money, and she came with a bad bag and he started complaining that she doesn’t even think from his point of view how she looks , and I was confused, like who are you? She just came to give someone who is a practically a stranger his money, must she dress up for that? And besides when you met her, that is who she has always been so why force affection or change in somebody. This drama was just unrealistic and cannot even occur in real life. I don’t even know what made me like it initially

Kowa_lovethelittleprince Jun 27 2020 11:52 pm Covid-19 led me to watch a replay of Secret Garden (almost 8-9 yrs has passed.) Am already familiar with the lead stars (Hyun Bin and Ha ji won) but I found out they had this drama series. I thought as was expected at the end of the series it will turn out...that they live happily ever after ending. But this time it went against this familiar line. Instead, it left your heart broke and so much pain and tears (congratulations for that) on my part. A good story, it showed the disparity of social classes in a society, the existing relationships with family, co-workers, lovers on how they think and respond to challenges.

My All Thumbs up for the scriptwriter, director, lead stars and cast of characters that made this tv series Secret Garden worth watching.

Cyril Jun 21 2020 12:25 pm Secret Garden, my first ever kdrama. I watched this when I was 10 (I'm 20 now) and opened my eyes to a lot more good stuffs. This drama will forever be my favorite! I rewatch last March, and damn the nostalgia, the humor, everything. Perfection.

Shane Jun 04 2020 11:15 am Really love this tv series! It’s been awhile since I watched korean dramas but bec of the quarantine so I said why not, someone recommended Cloy and then this one. Now I can’t move on from Secret Garden and Ha Jiwon. Secret Garden has it all comedy, romance, action, fantasy, fairytale and drama. I don’t know why I just found this one this year. Now, I just watched all Ha Jiwon shows she’s such a versatile actress. I’ve watched Secret Garden maybe 2 to 3 times already during quarantine time. Hyun Bin and Ha Jiwon’s chemistry is something else.

Alexey May 01 2020 2:43 am Watched this for the second time. Would recommend it because it's very interesting and fun drama. Actors are just amazing, Hyun Bin especially. Although, sometimes show really lacks of dynamics (somewhere from 8 to 12 episode), especially in compare of newer shows. I watched it 2 times and on these episodes I felt like I'm going to drop it again, but well, it worked somehow. Bromance is amazing as well. Second time it was even more sad to finish this drama. 10/10 anyway, cant go lower.

Butchelle Apr 13 2020 8:00 am Who has watched this for more than 7 times? ??My favorite kdrama of all time and its 2020! A classic kdrama that cemented the hallyu wave across the globe. Nobody can pull-off action scenes like Ha ji won! Numbah one??

Euju Apr 06 2020 12:21 pm I was 7-8 years old when i first watched this drama, and i still remember how i waited every weeks just for two eps. After that, i remember how i used to turn on the tv right to watch the reruns after i got home and how my mother used to tell me to eat and take a shower first but i won't move to do anything just to not miss a single scene of this drama. Now, i'm 16 and still can't forget how good this drama is.This drama was the first kdrama that i've watched and it is a very special one for me. If you still haven't watch this, you should watch it now. If you find it too cliche, you need to remember that this drama was released in 2010.

Alin Feb 23 2020 4:59 am A good drama too bad it contains sexual harrasment joo-won force to kiss ra-im

Elly Lolly Jan 06 2020 8:27 pm 2020, After 10 years of this drama been released, I just finished watch this drama series for only 3 days and I was like “this drama is very hilarious hahahahah” also I can’t handle my tears on the last 3 episodes. Watching both of them protect their love life no matter what happening around them, teach me, we really need to protect our love life so hard.

Thank you Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin! Both of you have such superb chemistry !!! Fighting for your future dramas ^^

len Jan 04 2020 4:26 pm one of my k-dramas favorite. watched this a lot of times. an outstanding chemistry of Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won.

Margarita Auxtero Jan 03 2020 2:09 am I love the funny scene especially while they are doing the film Hyu Bin is very funny i watched and watched it. The scene while doing the exercise in the action studio. I love them all. I kept watching the drama.

Nisachan Dec 31 2019 8:40 am I always thought than Hyun bin n son ye jin would be a great couple for dramas or movies. I spotted them in secret garden although son ye jin just become cameo. And then they played on movie project together (negotiation). Another surprise is when those two played on crash landing on you now. My dream is really come true. My ship is sailing ??

Zoezi Dec 11 2019 11:12 pm I hope Hajiwon and Hyun Bin reunion in another drama.

OnxyGirl Jun 02 2019 9:47 am A classic Korean drama that is better than 90% of all K-dramas ever made. It's great for re-watching again and again. Chemistry is off the charts, acting phenomenal, writing is solid, humor is mixed with occasional pathos, even the cameo appearance by Ye Jin Son is fun. OST is one of the very best. A winner all the way!

Gyura Apr 25 2019 8:34 am They have good chemistry. I really love this drama. Even this is so long. But I rewatch this. No wonder this drama get the first place. Good chemistry good romance good acting.

Miss T Apr 23 2019 4:44 am I am rewatching this and I am loving Hyun Bin more and more. He is great and from ep 1 I am on his side waiting for his love to be returned. And when they switched OMG i rily thot he was a women. Great acting and I love his determination and not giving up. Love this drama and the plot and the ending. Love it.

Acaion Apr 14 2019 8:35 am I like HB since MOA, so I decide to watch drama/movie he starring at. But for this i'm still doubt, idk why maybe the HJW in my opinion it's not match with HB. I have high expectation after MOA, PSH's chemistry is so great. I ship them for real. I will ask my dear friend's opinion to decide wether watch or not. Haha sorry for annoying comment. Hyun Bin oppa, hwaiting...

knower Feb 26 2019 9:50 pm I just wanna know how...why...the song Nocturne (95/96) by Norwegian band "secret garden" made its way all the way to south korea and inspired this? I can hear the melody all the way through the show, changed up a bit, called scar and performed by BOIS, but it's still Nocturne in my ears.

Chakita3 Feb 16 2019 6:52 pm WOW!...Okay its taken me 9 years to finally, finally watch this drama and only because of Hyun Bin as I am not a fan of Ha Ji Won, she is in my eyes, rigid and superficial and try as I have over the years to warm to her, she is just fake (miane to all the HJW fans). Even here in Secret Garden, she came across so annoying and if it werent for HB and his superb superb acting here, I would have stopped watching when the writer sent them to the Secret Garden in the bushes...OMG!

At first like many, I thought bringing in this fantasy-switch-of-the-bodies was childish and silly, but then as the drama continued and they both realised each others emotions and flaws, bravo and kudos to the writers. All the actors here were flawless and so great in their characters, the wit, the humor, the emotions (actually I really admired the second leads - Oska & Seul....so beautiful) and Oska was just super duper amazing!!

HB is such an amorous actor, I see over the years that some of his roles were a miss and hit, but his skills and talents have always been amazing, just the dramas he has chosen were a bit...eeeh! but I thank him for all that he does being this gorgeous, and awesome guy and wish him the bestest of success in the future. HJW on the other hand, I wish she wouldnt be so reserved in her characters and just open up and be more natural, okay okay she has the eye thingy going on but, ummm to me, thats it girl!...such a shame (my opinion only).

So, Secret Garden was so nice to watch and I did enjoy watching it in 2019. Watching it now in 2019 I can respect and admire what they started in 2010 with all the fantasy cliches and see how K-Drama has just amassed to a whole new height of intrigue, fun loving and awesomeness...so thank you Secret Garden, it was divine.

Samantha Feb 06 2019 11:53 am I can't believe it took me this long (9 years) to finally watch this drama. And whoooaaaaa i wasn’t prepared for the heartache and roller coaster emotion i went through while watching it!

I really left speechless (and in tears) when i just finished it. It was trully a magical experience. I really have no other word to describe it.

Hyun bin and Han ji won performances justtt superb! The script, the actors, the plot, the storyline was all perfection. Gotta admitt at forst i wasn’t feeling the magic thingy like potion, like the dad transformed to ahjumma. And at first the switch really killed my mood because i aim for the sweet moments of Hyun Bin and i would be not as cool in the body of a girl.

The first switch isn’t even that meaningfull. They don’t understand each other’s life better or whatsoever. But damn I didnt know that the switch was the key that leading to the pivital moment in the drama! So i changed my mind quickly while the story progressed.

I cry a river during hyun bin’s sacrifice (no spoiler allowed). I really did not expect that coming. And kudos to the writer to think of a spectacular idea like that. And yes i’ve compared it to a lot of ‘sacrifices’ in other drama and still this holds the trophy for the most heart warming and hear wrenching at the same time. I really couldn’t stop crying. And hyun bin. Damn his acting was really powerfull.

When i finished this drama, i was left with heavy emptiness in my heart. So i search all the ost and memorable scenes on youtube. Then i started to watch Hyun Bin’s older drama, “my name is kim sam soon” which also good but it turned out it’s truueeee what you all been saying. Once was not enough to watch this drama. So i watched it again to relieve myself and to be able to move on from it. Now i’m already must better but still, this one truly has a special place in my heart. And directly on number one of my fav drama.

I’m kinda glad though, that i saw it in 2019. Had i watched it in 2011, my standard of Kdrama would have been supeeerr high ad all the others would seriously just good, but not up to that standard. I’m glad i watched it now and even appreciate i even more because this drama is 8 years old but wrecked my world so hard to this day :’) Seriously if the PD is smart they would cast both Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won in another drama! We need it!!!!!

Noor Dec 24 2018 9:36 am Rewatched again because of Hyun Bin after watching Memory Of Alhambra.

Just love the argument between Joo Won and Ra Im. So childish but the logic still there. So funny. Joo Won always right in term of his argument.

Rosemary Dec 23 2018 5:00 pm I agree with Daisy. This is a fantasy drama, so it's a product of fiction. Realism is not necessary in fiction.

This drama is still my favorite despite it's already ages ago. The way the romance and the character development happen in this drama is such a unique and beautiful production.

It contains cliche but delivered with a not cliche way.

For you who likes realistic drama, this may be not for you. But again, there are a lot of non realistic or illogical story line in Korean dramas. To say that you get a CEO falling in love with you who are just a very common citizen is already something unrealistic. Imagine that a CEO is someone of different social status with you. But you accept this story line because you think it's logical and realistic based on your standard. So, again, perception plays here!

Annz Eyra Dec 11 2018 4:43 am I watched the parody by BIGBANG and yet watch ori one?

Daisy Nov 03 2018 9:04 am (Contains spoiler, to answer some of the questions)

Skip to avoid!!

Here it goes...

As mentioned by another commentor in a previous comment, body switch happens so that they can put themselves into another’s shoes. Notice that hyunbin changed.

Another is: Remember when ra im’s father saved hyun bin, he told him to take care of his daughter. That’s the purpose of the body switch, his father know his daughter’s destiny, and hyun bin, bec he learned to love ra im, sacrificed himself so that ra im can continue to live even thought it will be in someone else’s body

Remember that this is a fantasy drama, so if you think it’s too unrealistic, better stop watching this drama. This is a great drama, better than some of those in present, especially it was made 8 years ago. The actors chemistry, storyline, ost and everything in between

Marble Oct 29 2018 5:32 am I really don't get the high ratings, this is a very childish drama, almost all the characters irritate me, and there are way too many logical faults after the characters switch bodies.

kpopandgrime Jul 29 2018 9:32 am i'm watching this drama very late (first time) and I must say the plot is different and unique from other kdramas:

however i wouldnt watch this drama again as I felt the story was dragged out for no reason and the mother hyun bin was very selfish,couldnt stand her and also the body switching is something that does not make sense and is not logical (one of the main reason why i didnt like this drama)

i always continue with a kdrama i start and that is the only reason why i was able to finish this drama

LOVE FROM LONDON

Lee Jul 10 2018 3:31 pm The best kdrama I've seen as of yet! The witty banter between the two main characters was incredibly enjoyable to watch, and I really appreciated seeing a less conformist female protagonist take the stage and thrive. The body-switching aspect was somewhat cliche, but ultimately managed to hold itself together with a few meaningful scenes. Towards the climax of the series, the male protagonist's mother-in-law becomes rather overbearing, but the realistic happy ending more than makes up for it. I'll be looking out for more kdramas with similar pacing and humor, but until then I'll be coming back to this one again and again!

Amaii May 21 2018 7:49 pm After 8 years, still one of Kim Eun-Sook’s best. When I first watched this, I also question why the need for body switched, they probably didn’t finished the show. For those who doesn’t understand, it’s because the greatest obstacle of their relationship is not understanding each other due to their social status. It’s simple as putting once shoes to the other. That’s why they really become a couple when Ra-Im wore pretty dress to the party.

Maeva KF Mar 14 2018 3:05 pm Not my cup of tea. I don't get how the main couple is a thing, I mean, he basically forces himself on her until she decides that she's in love. It's so meh. The body changing part is ridiculous and serves no real purpose in the story.

The only interesting part for me was the Han Tae Sun and Oska relationship. I'm so sad we didn't get a love confession from Tae Sun though, he deserved to say it at least :(. I still ship it with all my heart.

Pindimailie Mar 09 2018 5:15 pm I watched this drama back in 2010 and still watching till now. This is my ultimate drama ever. I mean, whenever i watched new drama, this drama still the best from the best. Trust me

Can't get enough Feb 21 2018 6:59 pm If you don't watch this you'll miss many things. Bc after this so many Korean dramas referenced the scenes from Secret Garden in their story. You won't understand it. Therefore this is really a MUST WATCH DRAMA. There is two KDramas, which are often referenced in other Dramas. So you won't understand it, if you get confronted with the scenes in other Dramas. These two are "Secret Garden" and "Descendants of the Sun". For example Hyun-Bin's sequin jacket or "coffee kiss" from Secret garden. And the phrase "Shall I propose or apologize" or "Wine Kiss" from DOTS etc.

HyunJiWon Jan 11 2018 12:04 pm It's been years since I have last watched this drama and I'm watching this again now in 2018. This drama has romance, drama and fantasy that will surely captivates viewers from every walks of life. If you haven't try it yet please do. This drama is worth your time.

Amanda Blacksmith Dec 07 2017 5:06 am Ok, I totally don't buy it. Not in my style. At first scens are too emotional like in brazilian telenovela, very unnatural. Hysterical mother. The concept of body switching quite old and weird idea about rain involved in that, totaly illogical. Too much of everything and this fantasy part mixed up with real world was for me out of blue. Some behaviours of characters were so silly (throwing duster to lake and reaction for it) that i can't stand it. I didn't see how this relationship could be build here anyway. Pretty naive in my opinion.

Maya Nov 03 2017 4:27 am i love this drama i see watching 15 times drama

dee Oct 24 2017 12:16 pm loving this drama 2017

bigbangs VIP Sep 27 2017 11:50 pm love you lee jong suk and hyun bin

Yrame Jun 08 2017 4:30 pm My best so far! Secret Garden 2 please? :)

Segafan May 23 2017 11:20 am Best kdrama of all time. Best actors, casts, storyline, lovestory, plot twists, chemistry between the leads (hajiwon and hyunbin), the only kdrama i've watched for more than 30x (with no exaggeration). A drama that would make you laugh, cry, love. The cliches in here are provided in a way that isn't too corny or cheesy. It has an excellent script(of course there is our great writernim kim eun sook). Great acting from hyun bin and hajiwon. You'll definitely not going to regret watching it and for sure by the end of this drama you'll start loving hyun bin and looking for kim joo won out there.

Neelima Feb 14 2017 7:47 am This drama is very romantic... Leads chemistry is so good... Story is very good... They have good twists...

Neelima Feb 14 2017 7:45 am This drama is very romantic... Chemistry between the leads is awesome... Story also takes good twists... Good to watch...

imelda valle Feb 05 2017 10:21 pm am afraid I would also be like others who watched this drama a number of times.. am only at episode 4 and i want to watch other episodes continuously.. I watched/enjoyed many dramas and films of these 2 talented actors...for the meantime I will forget my other favorite on-going dramas.

Melanie maquiling Dec 26 2016 10:52 am Waaaaaaaa.......... I still can't get over on this drama. Napanuod KO na to ng 10x but still, urrg! I can't get enough. They're so cool specially Hyun bin when he's transforming into ha ji won. HahAha lol bagay sa kanya HahAha✌

Whenever I remember their funny scene, I can't help my self but laugh. That's why the people pass by me thinks that I'm out of my mind. HahAhaha. Lol??

I love this drama, super.

Barbie Dec 18 2016 12:02 am My favorite Kdrama of all time!! I have watched many dramas before but this really touches my soul. The only drama I have watched for more than 6 times. I can still feel the love and other emotions even after watching it many times already. Kim Joo Woon is my dream guy!! Ha ji Won is the best korean actress for me. I am always touched by the roles that she's portraying. The amazing chemistry between the 2 lead stars added life to the beautiful story. The only OTP that I love and ship!! This is a very heartwarming and very entertaining Kdrama.

Mblaq and MadTown 4ever Dec 10 2016 11:57 pm My number 1 drama I've seen it too many times

malcolm Dec 10 2016 5:15 am Secret Garden...OMG seriously one of the best Kdramas ever made,theres maybe 1 or 2 that I like a little more but I really just cant fault it,the first scenes with Kil Ra-Im are the best introduction to a female lead that ive ever seen in a drama...

Mary Nov 30 2016 2:33 am Watching alot nice Kdrama b4 but this 1 will forever my no.1 i also dunno y i realli like this Kdrama so much n re-watching many many time wont feel bored ^^ realli hope both of them will work together again

Nana Nov 20 2016 10:03 am I forced myself to watch it until epi7 just because of the positive comments here but i gave up..one of the worst kdramas ive ever watched..too boring

vivs Nov 01 2016 11:43 pm By the way, I have a question. the lead starts do they have another team-up?,,, thanks

vivs Nov 01 2016 11:42 pm huh, this is shown almost midnight(11:00-12:00) in our country(Philippines), but I had to wait for it coz it's beautiful, a love story with lots of fun,laughter, drama and mystery. Nice tele-drama, it can make you fall in love! haha :)

Bamboo Oct 29 2016 5:55 pm This drama was 6yrs ago.. within 6yrs of course fashion industry,trends everythings are changing...even we are...Grrr

Bamboo Oct 29 2016 5:50 pm Everything i can easily understand.. About fashion...?

Guest Oct 07 2016 1:23 pm The story is good but why do all the men look like girls, they even dress like girls. Kim Sa Rang is the only one who looks good in the entire drama. And Hyun Bin is the only one who can act and he does a great job. Phillip Lee was quite good actually. I'd put him second. Everyone else has over acted and in fact done a terrible job. I wanted to like this drama but could not because of the terrible acting and equally terrible fashion.

Mem wor Sep 19 2016 8:50 pm Love, love, love it! Best Korean drama I've ever watched! I'd like to watch the full episode again!

Hyunbin x Ha jiwon lover Sep 09 2016 8:23 am This is the best k-drama I've ever watched. I've watched this many times. I don't get bored watching this over and over again. huhuhuhu.

Nance Aug 25 2016 8:28 am It's a drama wherein you would watch it over and over again and wouldn't get tired of it. I gope Ha Jiwon and Hyun Bin would team up again together.

guest Aug 09 2016 1:54 am its the best of the best. Every aspect of the drama fits well with me, the acting, the ost, the humour, the chemistry between both sets of leads. I can go on and on. This is 2016 and still rewatching it and listen to its music, that man/ that woman. The drama is a mix of fantasy, supernatural, rom com and melo. Its serious and not too serious or at times illogical cos its a fantasy. Ha, what am I talking?. Theres a spread of focus on all the characters and not only on Joo Won and Ra Im. Secretary Kim, Oska and even Chang soo provided plenty of light moments. Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won did a marvelous job and not surprisingly Hyun Bin got his Baeksang.

Barry Allen Aug 03 2016 2:20 am Seems to be really cool. I will watch all episodes without missing

Meltx Jul 27 2016 12:19 pm Was a great kdrama. After this drama a lot of writers used the same supernatural plot where the lead would switch bodies. 49 Days was one of the kdrana that released after the huge success of Secret Garden. 49 Days was good up until the ending...where they completely ruined it. Lol. A lot of other Asian countries also started to do the same as well, but none would ever come close to surpassing Secret Garden.

Aki Jul 18 2016 8:35 am This is one of the best Korean drama in the history of Korean drama!!

Love Hyun Bin Jul 13 2016 4:52 pm The bestest korean drama ever.Its way way Way better than you who came from da star.Secret Garden will forever be my most favourite drama because everything in here was so perfect,right from the story to the characters to the bg tracks.SG is destiny,love,magic and everything in between.Not to forget it has the most handsome korean actor Hyun Bin and most adorb couple Ha jo won-Hyun bin

dido Jun 19 2016 9:53 am definitely the best..drama, love, romance, name it, they have it..much much cooler and nicer than my love from the star..2 thumps up!!

Elena May 09 2016 12:14 am Best drama ever.

mae Mar 14 2016 3:30 pm our hero drama couple is sega

mae Mar 14 2016 3:29 pm best best best

Julia Mar 11 2016 10:34 pm The best k-drama ever...

jezlin Mar 03 2016 7:38 pm I love this drama so much!! It's so cute and I cried for half of the ending, because he risked his life to save her and it was so cute!! and beautiful!! Best drama eva!! love it!! (also hyun bin did very well in his role)

Jess Feb 27 2016 6:53 am My third Korean drama and my favorite. I think that the actors did a superb job!!

Chloe Jan 24 2016 12:52 am still remember watching this movie years back. it was good and gave a nice feeling. but then i rewatched it... why can't i have those feelings of excitement again....? Weird!

Nanosh Jan 22 2016 2:17 pm i forced my self to watch the episodes until 11 and i couldn't continue..nothing is realistic ..this drama is like it's made by some children..i only wasted my time it's one of the worst drama i ever seen

Juanita Dec 15 2015 12:44 am Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate your efforts and I am waiting for your further post thank you once again.

Beny Dec 03 2015 11:45 am I never got bored watching this drama....i loved the chemistry between hyun bin and ha ji won....and i loved the oscar's role(funny guy).....most of all the kissing scenes between hyun bin and ha ji won was woooooooow....much love to you guys

Tica Oct 15 2015 12:16 am Just watched an episode tonight... I do love this drama... I congratulate the actors Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin, they are really talented ....

LoveYongPal Sep 13 2015 3:37 am This is my first korean drama, and I started watching drama because of this.. Hyun Bin is really good!!!

Miss Bee Sep 11 2015 7:19 pm CORRECTION to a song credit I gave below in a response to KR.

The lovely voices of Jihwan and Junhyung, of 2 BiC (To be continued) are the singers of the theme song I so enjoy.

Apologies guys. :)

iamabigelf Sep 09 2015 12:21 pm i'd been watched this drama for many times and i still didnt get bored watching it. hyun bin so handsomee <33 i hv a question. i just finished watching this drama just now. and i wonder , who is the ''secretrary kang''(secretary for joowoon's omma). his look seems familiar. he's in ep 16,17,19, 20. did you know his name ? or maybe he's in any other drama ? as a cameo ?

Miss Bee Sep 02 2015 3:41 am KR Thanks anyway.

Netflix does not have Pinocchio. But I listened to Roy Kim's theme song from Pinocchio. Beautiful voice! I am in Canada. We are on opposite side of the earth. I agree: the Korean language is a challenge. Am trying to learn a bit about it using the Memrise website. Am listening to a lot of songs by Korean singers. A couple of amateur singers in my family, so I enjoy listening to anyone with good vocal talent. The Korean lead actor in "Good Doctor", Joo Won, also sings the theme song for the series, entitled "I'm Loving You".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngQ97UPwMX0

A lot of tenderness in Korean singing voices. Fun to listen to.

KR Sep 02 2015 1:59 am Hi Miss Bee Actually, I don't know much about Korean stuff either. I mean I watch many K drama but I know little about their screenwriters. I follow only the ones who did Secret garden and Pinocchio. Even though, I am Asian in Australia, Korean name is still quite intellectual challenge for me!! Haha. Have a good day :)

KrickeeLee Sep 01 2015 1:03 am I loved this drama and Ha Ji-Won is awesome. She is a great actress. She has such an expressive face, she doesn't even have to say anything and you can tell exactly what shes thinking. I hope to see her in more Korean dramas.

Miss Bee Aug 31 2015 8:36 am Hello again KR.

I have a question for you or anyone who might be able to give me feedback.

I have read that the work of Mrs. Kim Soo-hyun (born in 1943), South Korean screenwriter and novelist, is a respected writer.

Are there any dramas based on her writing that you would recommend?

Thank you.

Miss Bee Aug 31 2015 12:53 am Hello KR Thank you for the heads’ up. I am still very new to Korean dramas and by no means am familiar with all the ones that ‘veteran viewers’ know of.

Secret Garden and Goddess of Love are the two I go back to the most (on Netflix). I enjoyed Good Doctor; Joo Won is very special in this drama. Loved the colours and clothes in Fated to love you.

…Love the clothes in all the dramas I’ve watched. The food.

I had to move a lot as a kid. Learning about a new culture through its dramas is a first for me. But my ear is doing lots of listening and am learning a few words of the language on the Memrise site.

The people seem so full of vitality. Full of life. Learning a bit about the culture, even through dramas has been a pleasure. I asked Netflix admin people about getting other Korean dramas. Love the music. The voices. Also, A Word From Warm Heart has a script that is thoughtful and deep. I will watch it again at some point, but need time to let my first viewing of it ‘settle’ in my mind. Profound stuff…

Bien à vous. Regards

KR Aug 30 2015 9:32 pm Hi Miss Bee, If you like good "falling and growing in love" and thoughtful conversation , don't miss "My name is Kim Sam soon". This one is more simple Cinderella theme, more lighted heart, don't need miracle or defectives, just be yourself and thoughtful. Main characters portrait very well. I don't think anyone can be as good as Kim Sun ah to play this role. And awesome Hyun bin. If it's not him, the main actor role will be swallowed by Kim Sun ah charm. Ooh, I got caught!!

Teacher Aug 13 2015 12:00 pm Perhaps my favourite line of the series takes place at the museum in the beginning episode. It is the reason I continued to watch the series.

While at a marriage meeting at the museum and after Kim Joo-Won sits with the woman to talk. The two exchange on what is a better way to find a spouse : 'marriage-meetings & arranged marriages', as opposed to 'love-at-first-sight marriages'.

When Yeun Sul speaks of 'love at first sight', Kim Joo-Won then lists for her all of the elements that help to make an arranged marriage successful and asks Yeun Sul why she thinks that "kissing" is a valid substitute for all the planning and matching that goes into an arranged marriage.

It is a great line, and like so many of the lines that Hyun-Bin delivers, this one is delivered with delicious flippancy that caught me off guard !

On another noe, as a Canadian, I have grown increasingly tired and bored with North American productions that present a quick shedding of clothing and "first-date-jumping-under-the-sheets".

Allowing time for the getting to know another human being is what we all agree happens with all other encounters (on the job, when meeting new friends...) We all know that moment when we say to ourselves "My, this person has become a good friend", and that kind of realization happens after really taking the time to get to know that person.

Why then, when it comes to affairs of the heart, should it be any different?

The representing in drama, of a growing into love, instead of a 'falling' with a crash into it, is the wiser approach.

Sidd Aug 12 2015 8:03 pm This is my first Korean drama and it was awesome.... As i am a great fan of Ji won so after watching her movies i looked for her other debuts and that's when i found this awesomely awesome drama. I am not Korean and i don't speak Korean either so it was hard for me to follow Ji won, but finally i got a very good deal for all those hard searches. This drama will always remain touchy for me. All the stars taken in this drama were outstanding of course Ji won is my all time favorite but after watching this drama i started loving all the celebs........ Even Kim Jo Won's Mother.... :) All did awesomely awesome job. And best couple Ha ji won and Hyun bin :* I wish if there would be a secret garden season 2.

Miss Bee Aug 08 2015 9:48 pm SPOILER ALERT : Do not read if you've not watched the series and for the same reason, do not read the posts by "KR".

Hi KR.

Your posts cracked me up. I had to laugh. I agree with you that you should put a "spoiler alert". Try to do that at the beginning of your posts.

To offer my input on the reason for the story to continue for the 20 episodes, I would say the fantastic character of the mother ! What a wonderful role. Older female actresses in the West love this kind of great writing for actresses who are over the age of 50.

The character of Kim Joo-Won, although he does not seem to let his mother influence his final decisions, nor even many of his day-to-day decisions, is nevertheless dealing with the traditional elements of parental input into spouse-choosing.

To wit, I love the dialogue of the Kim Joo-Won character, at the beginning, while at a marriage meeting, at the museum and after, when the two sit to discuss 'marriage-meetings' in general as opposed to 'love-at-first-sight' meetings, Kim Joo-Won lists all of the elements that help to make a marriage successful and asks the woman he is meeting why she thinks that "kissing" is a valid substitute for all those elements he has just listed. It is a great line, like so many of the lines Hyun-Bin delivers. He delivers this particular line with delicious flippancy! One of my favourite lines in the whole series (after all close-ups of Mr. Lee of course :)...

My watching of Korean dramas since this past spring is a first for me and I have had a great time watching them. I am trying to learn the language with the "Memrise" site: that is how much I am enjoying Korean dramas. As a Canadian, I have grown increasingly tired and bored with North American television, disliking in particular the quick shedding of clothing and "first-date-jumping-under-the-sheets".

Sorry for the off-topic tangent... :)

KR Aug 05 2015 11:52 pm So why it has to stretch to 14 episodes, almost 2/3 of the story , to get Gil Ra Im's reciprocal feeling for Kim Joo won affection. Unlike original Cinderella who is a victim of abuse and wants an escape, she is a survivor of self-supporting life, has a career she has a passion for, a father she is proud of. Why is had to be a stunt woman? I don't know. As her profession is an invisible existent, so, it's the author's intention to set the distance between he and her, I guess, as it appears in the conversation between Ra im and Yoon Seul in art gallery, her description about him in ep 13 and they always walk parallel in distance both in reality and in his thought. In this action school setting, she is only a female and a senior, so she has a firm feeling of equality, power over her junior and dignity between her peers. A fantasy escape with idol who later on becomes her fairy godmother! To sum up, she has everything!

KR Aug 05 2015 8:38 pm If you haven't watched this drama and don't want any spoilers, please don't read my comments because it will give out some clues. I love this drama because it' s just not a fantasy melodrama! It has some logics for audiences to hold on, at least for me. The details that shows in main characters is convincing to convey the story. Due to time, I want to mention only Kim Joo won, the main actor. He has qualities apart from general Prince Charming should has (rich, well-education end, upper class social status and power, good-looking), he also is a perfectionist, single-minded and often use excessive power (I don't think he is a complete authoritarian) and rational. As a single-minded perfectionist, he usually hand picks essential things in his life; design of his house; material of his resort, etc to reflect his style. The thing that shows his being single-minded is the designer's tracking suits that he hand picks and thinks that is perfect for him and completely ignore the others pointing out that those tracking suits look peculiar. My point is, it is reasonable that he ignores other realities, and hand picks Gil Ra Im who is seen as poor and has a background far from his as his girlfriend. Even though he realises his marriage involves many stakeholders, he goes to arranged dates routinely, but when it comes to essential in his life, he handpicks it by himself and once he thinks it's perfect and rationalises his thought and behaviour, he can ignore other factors and goes on with it. Nevertheless, the author piles up more rational behind his deep affection to her by throwing in a cause of his claustrophobia and the magic for swapping bodies and that leaves viewer like me stunned and the last scene keeps cycling in my head a while!

KR Aug 05 2015 8:50 am One of the components that makes this drama my favourite is the clever conversation. These are the sequences that I am impressed how the author use conversation for Joo Won telling 'I love you' to Ra Im. First time that he was asked why he kept chasing her. At that time he couldn't rationalise why he stuck on her. He would say 'for now, I am just a mad man'. Following episodes when she provoked this question again, he at this time already accepted at some stage that he liked her. So he admitted that he likes her and in reply she questioned back that she would be a Cinderella? Then he answered that she could only be a little mermaid who would be a bubble and disappeared at the end and threw all convincing reasons to her. When the story progressed, she refused him again by saying that she doesn't have a right to be a little mermaid because little mermaid has to love the prince first to be able to disappear beautifully. It implies that she doesn't love him. Then the story got to the stage that he was ready to admit his love to her. He encountered her again and said if she did not want to be a little mermaid, then he would be a little mermaid instead. That's how he said ' I love you'. For me, even the story is finished at episode 14, does have content of swapping bodies and a defective memories that explains his deep affection to her, it already rationalises this Cinderella saga through conversation that reflects situation of Joo Won and Ra Im.

vmarlany Aug 05 2015 12:47 am i really love this drama, my first favorite romance comedy drama. really romantic and the actor really did good acting, the chemistry really good. this is recommended drama.

Rudhra Aug 01 2015 4:21 am And the actors are also nice you have selected all nice.the Hyun-bin is nice,ha ji- won is also nice.all the characters are awesome.please take more dramas like this... I didn't forget the writer and screen writer they are awesome

Dear writer: Please write more dramas please.i miss secret garden a lot...

kira28 Jul 23 2015 6:47 am @felecia,100% agree with you i am late watching this drama and i regret it,why i am not watching it before this is amazing drama,amazing cast,amazing crew and amazing writer

SEGA 2 PLEAASSEEEEE they still not held a wedding yet love it so much

Miss Bee Jul 23 2015 4:56 am Was visiting an elderly relative in a retirement home in Canada and happened to see the movie “That Touch Of Mink” (1962). Of course, its dialogue is not as well done as some of the other older love-triangle movies with Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant and James Stewart. Watching the 1962 flick brought home again to me just how good the dialogue is in Secret Garden.

I might deserve a medal for reading sub-titles for the 20 episodes of Secret Garden, even more so because I paused the video a gazillion times, in order to savour the great, great lines.

The quick wit and humour of the old Hepburn/Grant/Stewart love triangles, and some of the Hepburn/Tracey exchanges of 40 years ago are timeless and memorable. But, Secret Garden sure is great fun to watch. Hyun Bin is a Cary Grant and James Stewart rolled into one, on steroids. His timing and delivery of his really funny, straight-face lines is flawless.

Yoon Sang Hyun’s play of both his character’s stage & private persona is an incredible performance.

I don't think that Hollywood writes love-triangle dialogue like this anymore, or, if Hollywood indeed ever did write such dialogue as well as it is written and delivered in this Korean drama.

Phillip Lee...., well, there shouldn't have to be any reason needed to speak of him : anyone with Native Canadian blood can’t take their eyes off him, even an old fart like me… But, his ever so subtle reactions to Yoon Sang Hyun and to Hyun Bin’s characters are very entertaining to watch also.

The female characters are fantastic. Kim Ji-Sook’s character wanting to see more of her antics.

Park Jun Keum, at one point, lifts her right hand to her cheek, to check that a strand of hair is still in place, and that little gesture transmits so well her character’s utter inability to step outside her comfort zone. Great writing and fabulous performance.

Ha Ji Won, who’s character has the triple role of playing off of not one or two, but tree other characters (the mother, the boss, the suitor), gives it her absolute all. Congratulations on the mammoth role well done.

Felecia Jul 20 2015 8:37 pm I rate this Drama 5 Stars! I watched 20 episodes within 4 days! I watched the final episode this morning and now I wished that I had watched one a day! Even the song that played through each episode 5 star! Acting 5 stars!;Writing 5 stars! EVERYTHING 5 STARS! A memorable drama that had me laughing, crying, excited, cheerful, tearful, mysterious and so much more!!!! 2 thumbs up, and I can see myself giving this an standing ovation! !!!!!! I would like to see these same cast of people working together in an second time on Secret Garden 2 before the kids and ending with a wedding with his mom there realize that true love is best!!!!

may Jul 19 2015 3:16 am The best korean drama!!!

belisabeth Jul 16 2015 10:30 pm The best drama ever. I start watching korean drama coz this drama.the chemistry between ra im n jo won is really awesome !!

Miss Bee Jul 13 2015 8:09 pm Am watching this for the 2nd time, pausing to read the rapid dialogue. Wow. Amazing writing. Amazing repartee between the characters. Hyun-Bin and Hoon Sang-Hyun are absolutely hilarious.

Love Hyun-Bin's straight-face delivery of his great, great lines. Hoon Sang-Hyun uses every muscle in his face to deliver both exaggerated and subtle emotions, switching from his 'singer' persona to the 'authentic core' of his character with lightning speed. What a performance!

Am now watching the scene in the office, between Hyun-Bin and Phillip Lee in episode-3, also an amazing back-and-forth.

They don't write dialogue this well anymore in the West. This writing equals and surpasses the old Katharine Hepburn / Cary Grant / James Stewart triangles. Very enjoyable to watch. Love the clothes, the colours (Canadian spelling), the food! The music too. Great summer holiday watching for a teacher. Wish I could understand the dialogue, and not be tied to the subtitles. Merci pour une série forrrrrrrmidable.

lycah gallogo Jul 05 2015 8:31 pm i've seen a LOT of kdramas but to tell you, this drama is the BEST of all the BEST.

kamila gwizdala Jul 02 2015 1:21 pm the best drama in the world . this is one of the first dramas for adults i watched and i loved so much i will give a 10 out of 10 , the actor , story , and where is filmed is great . I really congratulate the director of this drama he did an excellent job. I hope he does more of this kids of dramas. plus the soundtrack is amazing i can stop hearing it specially the song from oska

Lee min ho girlfriend Jun 26 2015 4:20 pm Help!!!! I can't get the soundtrack out of my head! And anytime I remember it, I think of ji won driving Gil raim into the rain. And I feel so sad. This drama is most touching. I cried

Jai Jun 18 2015 7:22 pm I really love this drama.. it's very romantic and very funny.. starting from episode 1 until the final episode.. i really like it and the idea of soul switching is very interesting. . It's been my 3rd time watching this korean drama.. hope there will be many HyunBin and Hajiwon's partnership in the future...

alamanda Jun 12 2015 5:57 am Secret garden, very good drama... I like chemistry both two main lead... I hope Ha ji won and Hyun bin can doing drama together again...

Sweety Jun 10 2015 9:36 am I love this drama.....

Jill Jun 05 2015 12:17 am If this incredibly sexy and romantic K-drama is "boring" then I'm Whistler's Mother! It's a perennial favorite. Look at the ratings. Your "Healer" you loved so much only averaged about 7% ratings. To me THAT show was boring. Secret Garden is magical. Most K-drama couples can only DREAM of creating a FRACTION of the sexiness that Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won created in Secret Garden.

Mimi Jun 01 2015 10:31 am Am watching this drama at the moment, am now watching episode7 but i don't think if i will finish it i do not really like the idea of body switching! Heard it was great so i was so eager to watch it but am disappointed.

Eman May 08 2015 7:01 am In fairness to this drama, the actors are great. People fall because of the chemistry. But sadly, can't find time to fall for it yet. I'm lookin' for a drama like Ha Ji Won's Memories in Bali or Han Ji Min's Padam Padam. Stories that would touch human spirit is incomparable.

Odd Apr 24 2015 6:15 pm Unpopular opinion: it's boring. I fast forwarded most of it.

sandra Apr 19 2015 12:37 am Just finished this drama, i fast forwarded through a lot of it, proly because ive been kdrama binging. But Hyun bin is so cute, his dimples are just drool worthy! I think imma be watching hyde jekyll again so i can see his dimples :-D

Elize Apr 18 2015 1:42 am What's with the camparison?? This is truly one of the most romantic dramas i've ever watched.. I'd always thought that switching bodies thing isn't that necessary but maybe it won't be this good if it wasn't,right?? Hyun Bin,not a fan but u really are one of the most talented actors in Korean acting industry n Ha Ji Won..., what can i say? She's just born to do this:-)

Firdyan Apr 14 2015 3:00 am Rooftop Prince is better than this drama .. I like Rooftop Prince ..

gold digger Apr 02 2015 7:15 am I really like this drama watched so many times, Im so interested with ha ji-won for her action scene I wish to be like her!

March Mar 21 2015 4:51 am @pleasent...no one should get mad cause its your opinion. I skipped scenes too, espicially ha ji won's and action school scenes cause I got bored. I only watched Hyun bin's scenes and I think he and Oska was fun factors...

pleasant Mar 09 2015 7:50 am I dunno why but this drama is boring(sorry fans this is only my opinion)from eps1-20(20 hours become 1 hours 35 minute) because i always skipp all the scene from all the cast except hyun bin and hajiwon but sometimes i skip their scene too i dunno why..this show itself have wonderful cast wonderful ost but many useless scene-__- sorrry guys hope the fans of this drama dont mad to me its only my opinion.

sadia Mar 09 2015 6:18 am First i really get bored when they switched their soul but as i kept watching i am really get attached with them ,their acting were so real and heart touching that i could not take my eyes off from them..it is really now one of my favourite korean drama.

kdrama Feb 26 2015 10:35 pm Liked the beginning but it dragged real bad in the middle for me.

mariem boukraa Feb 19 2015 10:41 am i love this drama . i have watched for 10 times already . i highly recommand it to any one who wants to watch romantic , and comedy korean drama . i love both Hyun-Bin and Haj-won . they made this drama fantastic . love it very much .

evrac Feb 01 2015 11:03 am I make Secret Garden as comparison of dramas i like. "The story line is similar with Secret Garden!" "This is like secret garden!" I've watched around 40 korean dramas but neither one can defeat this masterpiece! I've rewatched this more than 10 times. Totally in love, hard to move on <3 Secret Garden JJANG!

KAtherine Jan 31 2015 6:52 am This is my favorite Kdrama of all time. This started my Korean wave addiction. <3 #SGisFOREVER

kharra Jan 13 2015 4:57 am I first heard of this drama 2 yrs ago. But that time i didnt give attention to it bcoz i was at my 4th yr as college student and so busy with my studies. Then last week i was looking for some kdrams to watch coz im bored. And this drama is always at the bucket list of the recommended to watch. And i remember2 yrs ago how my frends were so hooked with this drama. So i decided to give it a try. Honestly the story of 'switching souls' does not appeal to me. I ask myself to they always switched? Then that would be boring. So i was doubtful at first to watch it. But i give it a try anyway. And thats it! I totally fell in love with the characters. Great actors, and the story which i thougjt of first will be bad is actually not. Its not great but its good. What amaze me is how hyun bin and ha ji won totally nailed the characters they were playing. They are not boring to watch. I swear i watched a lot of kdramas with supposedly good stories but bcoz the actors couldnt deliver their roles very well it became boring to me. And gil ra im is not a weak character. She endures a lot. That shows how strong she is inside.and hyun bin is so funny. Haha. When he and gil switched souls he delivered the character perfectly.haha, im laughing my ass off xD. The reason why this drama is almost in everyones bucket list is bcoz of how the actors manage to touched the hearts of viewrs with the characters they are playing. Sadly some korean actors and actresses cant touch the hearts of viewers like me. Some even looks like they are just reading the script, no emotions, no connection to the characters. They are just plain pretty and handsome :/ i will definitely rewatch this drama :) no boring episodes for me :) i marathon it in 4days lol. (Thank god for the long holiday lols) i'd say this is number 1 now on my top 10 kdramas. Im not exaggerating. I totally fell inlove with it. Im a big hajiwon and hyun bin fan now. :D great chemistry!❤ they are natural. Btw my top 5 kdramas now are 1)secret gaden 2) memories of bali 3) stairway to heaven 4) my girl (love lee dang hae and lee don wook) 5) jewel in the palace

sijuadewumzy Dec 22 2014 12:35 pm I really love this drama I just hope to be a Korean actress or a Korean scriptwriter a lot of people will really love what am going to do

Doreen Conrad Dec 02 2014 11:30 am I really like the drama it's soooooooo!!! Romantic and fun

Sharon Nov 18 2014 4:31 am I really like,love this drama,,, But why the episode just 20?? I wanted more,,, Btw I still love this drama

lili Nov 10 2014 11:48 pm my favorites korean drama on the first place

HJW ♥ HB Oct 23 2014 6:31 am I watched SeGa for 2 days and 1 night... I love it!! The best one I've watched so far(I don't want to sound creepy but I'm watching it again!!

Arcy Oct 03 2014 5:57 am i love this drama.may i know the tittle of the book that they reading?

Kinoko Sep 28 2014 10:04 am What a boring drama. Good actors, but the story is boring, inconsistent.Forced romance, boring side stories. I hated it. Excuse me, fans.

Micky Dane Sep 26 2014 3:01 am The best Korean drama ever. My first ever :) I can never forget 2012 October because of this drama. Love the drama so much.

Mary Sep 09 2014 9:53 am Secret garden is Really the best drama ever.Hyun bin ha.jiwon they both great actors.i love them both.still watching up until now i never get bored.i really this drama...

Eric Aug 21 2014 5:11 pm One of the best drama I ever watched. Love both Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin. Hopefully they can make another drama with both lead.

Anon Aug 12 2014 12:08 pm The plot was pretty amazing, however, the romance was... 'forced' in the end.

Best Blenders Jul 21 2014 2:51 pm Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anything like this before. So good to search out anyone with some unique thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this web site is something that is needed on the net, somebody with a bit originality. useful job for bringing one thing new to the internet!

AJ Jul 02 2014 3:37 pm One of my favorites: in many ways a classic fairy tale with the poor maiden (but tough and smart), handsome prince, and evil witch. But this story also treats major social issues and confirms the power of love over loss. Like all fairy tales, it includes a dark side--but it is most importantly a romance in which no man ever loved a woman more. He is funny, exasperating, sweet, and totally amazing. This series also has a charming cast and enjoyable sub-plots. A delight from the first episode to the conclusion: and this time KDrama gets the ending so right. The coda of the last 3 minutes is especially telling and moving.

mohamed belhadraoui May 22 2014 5:34 am secret garden

Vanesa May 21 2014 3:14 pm Plz SBS make more sequels of it ,i really luv this, it made me cry and laugh. Ohh and also Hyun bin and Ha Ji Won make a cute couple and did a great job.

A^^ Mar 23 2014 6:55 am Ohemgee! Still watching this up until now T.T so beautiful and perfectly made! Fine, if they can't do a sequel then do a prequel! It would be very interesting:'3

muta88 Mar 10 2014 6:21 pm best of SBS then you're beautiful and you who came from stars

Daisy Mar 02 2014 8:26 am still the best, after watching you who came from the stars

LegalWeapon Feb 10 2014 3:29 am I have watched more than 100 Korean dramas in the past. I firmly believe that this is still the number 1 Kdrama I have ever seen. Music is great, chemistry is unbelievable, plot is tight, it has everything (drama, comedy, action, fantasy, family, etc.). What more could you ask for. A classic feel good story! Four thumbs up! Daebak!

Rochelle Lee Jan 22 2014 4:57 pm Is there going to be a second series of Secret Garden? I watched it on Netflix in the U.S.A.. I truly enjoyed it, wishing it was a second series...I cried, I laughed, and I got upset when my cellphone rang while I was watching it. I was and still disappointed that Kim Joon mother still didn't accept Ra at the end, but she accept the grand-children. Please do a second series with more episodes....To all the actors GOOD JOB!!!!

Lisa P Jan 02 2014 12:15 am Secret Garden is by far my favourite rom-com. It's funny & so well written. I love the sparkly track suit..made in Italy stitch by stitch hehe. However, my favourite scene is when he takes her into the storm to do a body switch. I cried buckets load. Love the ending. I recommended this drama to my friend & she marathon it in three days! Now she's also a big Hyun Bin & Ha Ji Won fan. Their chemistry is out of this world - super hot couple! Hopefully they will team up for another hot sizzling drama in the future!

Hanna Dec 15 2013 10:46 pm the best kdrama ever!!!!! The best thing about the drama is that: unlike all cliched rich lovers Kim Joon is not ready to give up his fortune in the beginning.... He also admits that if he does so then he cannot guarantee not to blame gil ra im....even though it was very mean of him i loved that part of d sotry.....Amazing work done by Ha ji won and hyun bin... And the ending!!!! It was absolutely perfect.... In love with secret garde <3 <3

sega lover Dec 13 2013 9:31 am i'm hyun bin & ji won shipper,secret garden is my 1st favourite korean drama,,then the princess man,reply 1997 & full house..till now,there are no other drama that can beat SeGA based on my taste..just look at the ranking from ep 1 untill 20..i'm not suprised it always at the top 3..

neete Dec 11 2013 9:53 am any idea who is the actual singer in ep. 5? the part lee jong suk sings that woman in jejudo. thx

watched this drama do many time. very good

Clarkdale44 Nov 24 2013 12:02 pm Superb drama... Very touching story. I must admit both Ha Ji-Won and Hyun-Bin adapted their characters pretty well during body switch. And the ending.. That feeling after finishing last episode, I was just WOW. Still i feel bad that they couldn't do official wedding due to the mother of Joo-Won. Well atleast she accepted her grandchildren, so i am sure that day will also come when she will accept her daughter in law as well. Ending was so perfect man i still can't believe it. Totally worth my time watching entire drama. 10/10 for story, cast, direction... Everything is perfect.

5555 Nov 21 2013 9:00 pm the best drama No.1 forever

Anne Ortega Nov 12 2013 7:16 pm I would love to watch this but this does not have English subtitles very disappointing why?

daisy Nov 12 2013 9:35 am UNTIL NOW, no drama has been better than this yet. still the best.

Tesabeth5 Oct 31 2013 11:10 am Kudos to the Directors, but specially to the writer, Kim Yun Sook. Secret Garden could take pride in its very in-depth dialogue, mostly between Gilarm and Kim Joon, and between Gilarm and Kim's Mom, Moon Bong. Then, add further the frequent exchange of hurt feelings and profound sad misunderstandings between Choi Mon Young and Yoon Seul: plenty of story-lines of poignant and ironic conflicts and fights between two very much in love couple, the second love story in the show. Then, include further the many funny but realistic expressions of true love between An Young and 'Secretary Kim. And many more very deep dialogues spoken even by very secondary role parts performers in the story, eg. very realistic/true to life words from Im Jong Soo (Gilarm's Director), Hwang Joon Wan (Gilarm's best side kick/moral support), Gil Ik Su (Yung In Ji), Gilarm's Dad, Li-Ji Yun (the doctor/psychologist), Han Tae Sun, and Choi Dong Kyu (Oska's company president), etc...

azzahra Oct 27 2013 8:20 pm After more than two years, secret garden still no 1 in my K-drama list. Even the story a little weird, but the flow of storyline very fast and unbored. This is very beautiful film with beautiful cast and beautiful soundtrack. I loved the way hyun bin stare and hug hajiwon, full of love, best chemistry beetwen two leading role...This film very excellent...recommend to watch.

Tesabeth5 Oct 25 2013 2:40 pm Most touching moment between Gilarm and Kim Joon

Most afraid and fearful of Kim Joon’s Mom’s most serious threat to hurt and destroy her loved sweetheart, Kim; and thus convinced she really needs to have to give up Kim Joon, Gilarm made every feasible lie to get Kim to think he has to part from her. And so she made up excuses.

1) Thus, she pretended she could not bear to keep thinking Kim was the reason her Dad died while all along loving him and enjoying life with Kim.

2) Even more touching was her further pretending her receiving and keeping that memorable broken handbag newly fixed by Kim with a very elegant looking clip, specially purchased by Kim would only hurt her feelings as it would presumably remind her how Kim looked down on her because of that broken cheapy handbag. Whereas in fact that broken bag fixed with loving tender hands of Kim actually poignantly only endeared Kim to her even more, and made her aware how truly that broken handbag ironically and very memorably now serves a bond of their profound love for each other. It was so moving because this Kim’s most genuine expression of tender loving of Gilarm had to be ruined by Gilarm’s most hurtful sacrificial repression of her truly touched loved heart having to pretend with her lying despise for the handbag pin, which she would actually, rather, cherish lovingly like a very precious jewel from her beloved.

3) The her two good byes to Kim Joon: The scene at the Mall when pretending she was calling from the movie shooting set, with the pretext she was occupied with shooting movie scenes afar, she most emotionally expressed to Kim how she misses him so very much. Right then she had just consented to Kim’s Mom her sacrificial breaking up with beloved Kim so Mom would spare punishing and destroying Kim with the threat of total impoverishing of him; and right then, too, when she had just left Kim her truest memento of love, (which I am citing next as # 4 excuse); so seeing him supposedly for the last time, him – who “.. created a miracle for her” – was certainly breaking her heart so painfully.

4) To repeat, convinced it to be necessary that she parts from her beloved Kim, the incident in the home library of Kim when, with Oska as accidental but very proper witness, she secretly left her very own memento of final goodbye with the inserting of the image of her – the self-denying, self-sacrificing mermaid – bidding her beloved Kim farewell as she, now, most unwillingly and most agonizingly will have to disappear like a foam and a bubble according as fate had ordained her in relation to her beloved Kim.

Tesabeth5 Oct 23 2013 6:47 pm Very clearly, the story-line of Secret Garden showed the lead female character, Gilarm, a simple common girl; but a girl not necessarily naive and impressionable girl. Despite the advances of Kim Joon from the 1st episode up to midway of the 10th episode, Gilarm never exhibited herself like a melted flower under the most aggressive impertinent and arrogant advances of Kim Joon. While she fancied his very publicly and personally raising her actress renown equal to the level of the top artists, and while she did reckon the marvel of this rich man's particular attention to her, up to this point, which is already half way past the whole story, she had not seriously owned up a supposed opportunity of really getting involved with Kim Joon. To her he was still only some man, who happened to have some interest in her. If at all, she was merely leaving an opening if this man would really prove himself genuinely and honestly falling for her. And it wasn't till the 14th episode when she actually fell for Kim Joon, who -- to his credit -- by far immediately before or around this moment in the story has tried to stop his many flippant, and 'showing-off' tactics of wooing Gilarm. He is by far starting to outgrow his biased rich and macho attitude and ways; and was now literally attempting to meeting Gilarm's true standards of affections and of love. As, unlike before where he in his superior complex wanted to treat Gilarm a dispensable mermaid to his princely person and status, and to his advances of affection, now he was offering himself the mermaid to Gilarm, a serious attempt at expressing his most serious desire for Gilarm, at beginning to surrender himself in love for Gilarm. Though, not fully yet.

Tesabeth5 Oct 23 2013 10:54 am That Secret Garden get to receive great following, and achieve great success could not but prove total acceptance of the characterization by the entire cast, particularly by both characters Kim Joon and Gil Larm, The assertion that Gil Larm was a weak character should have doomed this Korean drama a failure. Granting that Kim Joon alone carried the show over Gil Larm is a big stretch of opinion. To repeat the great success of the show would not have happened if the fans only appreciated the characterization by the male lead character. Actually, both lead characters competed, and performed excellently at acting out and defining their supposed personalities and roles in the show. To particularly state Gil Larm was a weak character, person in the drama would prevent the show from getting such rapport from viewing fans. For actually strength was acted out and demonstrated effectively by Gil Larm by her possession and articulation of her inner and fundamental principles and beliefs. To say she departed from her initial portrayal as a strong girl/woman presented in the first episode was not accurate; time and again, she did physically and masterfully asserted her defending of her character vs Kim Joon. E.g. her ability to offset or wrestle Kim Joon’s physical size and strength both by her catching him off-guard with kicks or actual arm wrestling were enough illustrations she remained that athletic girl in the first episode. But to repeat, she exhibited, convinced, and moved viewers such compelling steadiness about her principles, and timely responses/rebutting of both Kim’s and his Mom’s abusive words and atitudes with outright counter principles and way of thinking, eg. not coming empty handed per Dad’s clear teaching when being a visitor at someone’s home, and her downright telling it to his face the rudeness if taken lightly or treated as fair game by getting Kim chase after her in his own car to make him feel how it is if he were in the receiving end of someone’s rude behavior.

And whereas indeed Kim’s Mom literally repeatedly abused Gilarm, on each occasion Gilarm’s courageous standing up to Mom per her above mentioned counter responses of profound principles only won her great rapport from the viewers: heartfelt sympathy and compassion. True thinking viewers saw and perceived her inner and real strength. For she convincingly belies/unravels the disrespect by the Mom of Gilarm’s Dad’s irrefutable heroism as a valiant firefighter rescuer, including of the Mom’s son. In the end, the one, which most touched viewers, was her her committed sacrificing of her love for Kim, and her concession to the Mom that she give up having Kim if only to stop Mom’s threat, (and Mom’s ultimate act of viciousness) to ruin her very own son. And at the very end, Gilarm would yet be willing to continue to wait marrying Kim with the hope her further forbearance might yet make a little change of heart of the Mom. At this point, the two lovers already have proven their love for each other; and so it could not make Gilarm insecure about losing Kim just so they might have waited for Mom’s “permission”. And so, again, this may not be interpreted to be Gilarm’s act of cowardice, but patient act of forgiving of Mom, and consistent forbearance on her part. Although, of course, it behooves Kim Joon’s man of the world character that he makes the decision to literally stand up to his Mom per this specific act of legal formalizing of the couple’s intention of marriage and the life of mutual love according to the plot of the drama.

The main story-line of Secret Garden really revolves around Gilarm, or around Kim Joon’s fascination and admiration for Gilarm or for Gilarm’s very strong character, which initially Kim Joon tried hard not to see, ie. his repeatedly rubbing it to her how she is in reality not in the least his type of girl or within his very elevated class, but per the story-line and plot it ultimately registered and got stuck to Kim Joon’s fine psyche. That all dirt was thrown upon Gilarm both from Kim Joon himself, and from all other nemesis to her poor life status only highlighted and made shine Giarm’s true preciousness and charm. This is namely her indomitable but humble self respect and self reliance, who in the words of Kim even seemed like a ‘man’ as a figurative presence of human invincibility against all odds that no matter how social forces might want to reduce her to nothing, she remains like an indestructible fortress of human decency and charming respectability. She is indeed appropriately a Cinderella, a real worth to be pursued by a cavalier prince in the person of Kim Joon. And so like the maltreated Cinderella she deserved, in the end, the prize of her prince Kim Joon.

More popularly, more likely, or more probably Koreans subscribe to Asian religions, like Shintoism, Buddhism, or Confucianism. Yet the technique employed by the producer or scriptwriters of Secret Garden re: the switching of bodies as well as the ritual acted out with Gilarm’s Dad in the main dream referred to during the period of coma by both Gilarm and Kim Joon are figurative and metaphorical of both the Judaistic religion and the Christian faith. The ceremony and rite of the drinking of the wine makes a hint of the Eucharistic liturgy in the Catholic Mass, symbolic and a re-enactment of Christ’s sacrificial shedding of His blood in the name of love, which Christ himself pre-figured by his converting the wine, that he asked the apostles to drink, into his own blood during his last supper with them, his disciples. Then the general idea of switched bodies could have been implication of the early Genesis verse statement about the couple’s becoming one body and one spirit by virtue of the union of love between a couple.

The tipping point of lthe story, and of why I consider Secret Garden in line with Christian belief was when Gilarm’s Dad, who in the context of Christian faith represents one of the Saints of God and therefore, a representation of the forgiving and caring/providing/protecting Christ, during that rite of the drinking of the cup between Kim Joon and Gilarm, told her daughter she has bowed her head enough and has shed tears enough, (ie. has sacrificed for love enough), and as well to Kim Joon having fulfilled his promise of looking out in love for Gilarm, his daughter. And so, just as in the Christian faith is promised the new life after the embrace of the cross of sacrificial suffering, here the Dad conveyed God’s satisfaction of love and happiness thereafter for this true loving couple, Kim Joon and Gilarm, with a new lease of life upon their waking up from their comatose state of falling asleep.

wenda Oct 16 2013 1:54 pm Well being a fan of secret garden, i found this drama absolutely awesome.the chemistry between the two leads is something else, if u compare it with the chemistry of the two leads in master's sun for example.According to some comments; i've seen here, the show is boring, but still they watched it and felt bound to leave a comment?

du'a ilham Sep 07 2013 11:06 pm hyun bin i'm is your fans from indonesia and l always waiting your next movies... cayooooooo

Wolfgirl Aug 12 2013 1:10 am Well, SG is in almost all the must watched k-drama lists, so I decided to watch it! It started off strong and only got better, that is until the last few episodes! It could have been the most amazing drama, but the last episodes kind of made it cheesy! It was too unrealistic, unoriginal and predictable. Still, I enjoyed watching this drama! so yeah 7/10!

Anik Jul 31 2013 10:57 pm I really love this drama. It really gets into my heart. And I watched it over and over.

Lynda Jul 21 2013 11:13 am the drama was really cool as it was more interesting than other romantic movies lyk playful kiss,boys b4 flowers.those saying dat it's nt kul shud do their own nd let's see wat it is as dis movie is d best

RainLady Jun 28 2013 12:28 pm SG is the drama to watch when you're feeling down and you want to believe in something good again. Let's not look for depth but there were some lines that got me thinking like the difference between rich and poor people and the reality that sets them apart. But overall, it's just a romantic comedy with a great cast, lots of funny moments and even more heart warming moments.

I watch my favorite scenes from time to time especially when I want to feel a little better after a bad day. It's like comfort food for me.

Diana May 27 2013 11:07 am To start off I'm actually in a bittersweet mood right thanks to secret garden. Joo Won and Ra Im :)) the ending is perfect but I could have expected more .. It's alright , but for some reason the only thing that's bothers me is ha tae son , I wonder why he fell for Oska .. Secret Garden is an amazing show. The musical scores , scenery , characters , plot , EVERYTHING is just so damn perffff. Secret Garden has bright me to tears many times but I guess that they were tears the say that Hyun Bin is so freaking hot like I swear. I watched the special episode that SBS premiers on drama fever but I only seemed to understand ep. 21

Ep 22 & 23 seemed like they were trying to play the whole series in 2 hours. I listens to some of the tracks on the OST but what I liked listened to was the secret garden song it self the musical score , for some reason I just kept on listening and listening ..

When I'm sad I guess watching SG will brighten up my mood a bit. Hopefully Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won team up again in the future and have Secret Garden season 2? ahaha. I really need to find a new kdrama to watch soon ... Something like Secret Garden a romantic comedy please?

Geli May 07 2013 11:55 pm I had a lot of expectations from Secret Garden. I've heard many recommendations and praises regarding this drama. The characters are also well known. The acting was great. The script was just really horribly boring. The entire drama, I was bored to tears. I only continued to watch it because I was forced to watch by my friend. I was more interested in Oska's heart ache over the main characters'. The only person I found amusing in this drama was Oska.. surprisingly since I found him foolish in the beginning. His character was the only one with depth. Kim Joo Won was really shallow and annoyed the heck out of me. Gil Ra Im began as a strong character, being cool and spontaneous. However she just became weaker and weaker as the story went on. When she switched bodies with Joo Won, she was soo stupid! Actually they were both stupid. Neither one could act like the other. Ra Im kept saying sorry, which was really pathetic. Joo Won is also really mean. I was surprised when Ra Im said she was slightly interested in him because before that nothing showed her being interested in him what so ever. He's a douche. Even I wouldnt be interested. Only in his money. Hahaha. tbh. Anyways, The relationship between the two main characters is just way too cliche. I've seen it wayy too many times already (Rich & mean guy in denial of being in love with a poor girl). Ugh. They also barely even switched bodies. In the synopsis it seemed as if the main plot of the story is them switching bodies, but it really isnt.

BTW SG fans, don't hate on me. This is MY review. This is just what I feel about the drama. :)

Rowena Apr 21 2013 12:57 pm I watched Secret Garden for the second time after watching My Lovely Kim Sam-Soon. I just have to watch Hyun-Bin's acting on this drama. His acting has improved dramatically. Secret Garden is probably the best of all dramas i have watched so far (>10) not only because of the plot but also because of Hyun-Bin's portrayal of his character. The story itself has some usual K-drama components but also fantasy-like that is not found in all the dramas I have watched. I need to watch it again because I still didn't get the implications of a lot of the lines---maybe the translation has lost the meaning of the statements. but I love the story and I am sure I will cry the third time I watch it. Kudos to the cast of Secret Garden.

Lori Mar 30 2013 5:47 pm These reviews should be sorted into fans & non-fans. All the glowing reviews made me start this series. The leading woman was really "cool" at first. She chased down & beat up a gang of purse snatchers, she flew around ninja style & sword-fought a small army in an action movie, & raced a car across the city like a pro Nascar driver-- all in the first episode!! It was immediately downhill from there, she turns into a very weak person & takes whatever vicious abuse the leading man wants to dish out, simply because he said she fascinated him?!?(another reviewer mentioned Stockholm syndrome- that was pretty clever) Aren't exciting & adventurous women desirable in kdramas? I stopped viewing at the point where they switched bodies- not because that concept was too bizarre- no I was tired of waiting for the woman to get a backbone. She was not the same person as in the 1st episode. It was amazing that I watched it as long as I did, I thought maybe there was going to be some romance with the stunt director- he was pretty cool. I thought the leading lady was going to open the leading mans eyes to a new & exciting world- man they could have done anything! sssskkreeetch! thud! reality-- writers for kdrama romance missed the feminist revolution. Women teach your daughters well- they deserve to pick their own happiness, not have it forced on them by a steamroller type personality who has deemed them attention worthy for the moment.

jaja Mar 23 2013 12:07 am i was hesitant to give some insights about this drama 'coz it's been 2 years since it was aired, but then i saw that the recent comment was posted last march 17, so i guess it's ok.

well for me, the story line isn't much as how the people here stated, i mean, there's a lot more dramas that have better story line than this, it was actually how the characters played their role, it's sooo natural, not to mention the chemistry of hyun bin and ha ji won. there are a lot of funny and sweet moments that would definitely make you rewind it over and over again. but then, just like any other movies, there are sad parts, like the fire scene (the flashback part) oh, it broke my heart. i even stopped watching it for me to recover from that scene. the one who played ra-im's father delivered it really really well. i also loved the ending, of how they were related all along. and that it didn't end up, like most of the dramas would. ra-im being not accepted by joo-won's mother is totally satisfying.

dannu Mar 11 2013 9:16 pm Waiting to watch secret garden .. ! just scrolled down comments .. ! Mischevious kiss was awesome one describing one sided crazy feeling of that girl.. - I hated the comment that was given above regarding this drama ..

zee Feb 16 2013 3:43 am I watch secret garden for the first time in august 2011, since then I always rewatch till now in 2013. I'm crazy about SG. I thougt SG has simple story and fast. No antagonis character which cruel and false, every character illustrated human being. All of theme song very nice to listen, beautiful filming location, smart dialogue and funny, and the most important is the leading role actor very excellent. Hyun Bin and Hajiwon not just acting with the body, their eyes take apart act too. If not HB and HJW the lead actor, is SG become popular ? We can feel the love, sadnes, madnes and happines in their eyes. Secret Garden is the best kdrama in everytime.

nickole Jan 08 2013 4:33 pm well I absolutely adore this drama and I love ive never been this obsessed with someone before but hyun bin is so sexy aand he made a good work secret garden and the girl in blue are my faves!! keep up the good work wish there was another novel with these two awesome actors and longer !!

Kimberly Jan 04 2013 5:24 am SG was totally awesome!!! I could watch this drama over and over and not get bored. Bravo to all the crew and cast for doing such a great job to make this drama enjoyable. One of the best drama I've seen in such a very long time!

Brett Jan 02 2013 8:08 pm All-around great modern fairy tale, and I have a few other high marks to pass out as well:

I have grown to love South Korean drama in the past couple of years, but this one stands out in terms of storytelling, acting, direction, and ESPECIALLY writing. I have noticed that though I love Korean writers, they tend to have issues with continuity and budgeting episode time properly to serve all story arcs. Where Secret Garden really stands out is in its boldness to fully explore all the arcs and give them each enough attention to feel properly closed at the end.

I was especially impressed with the intimacy and sweetness shown in Joo Won and Ra Im's family in the final episode, and how we were actually given enough time to connect with this, in order to fully justify and gain closure on all the characters' prior hardships.

Hats off to the cast, crew, staff, and writers. Secret Garden had me spellbound from start to finish, and it's a wonderful fairy tale I expect to stick with me.

hyun bin Dec 30 2012 8:03 am his acting really really amazing....in this movie he funny person and caring..hyun bin was great person...i like it ha ji-won also...her acting very great..... for me this movie are the best number one in the world

JayKemz Dec 29 2012 6:19 pm Tip to oneself: Don't watch mediocre k-dramas after you have watched one of the best. From the reviews here, I'm gathering that SG is a good k-drama but after watching Faith...SG dulls in comparison. I'm just watching it coz I'm bored :( ;(

lin jing jing Nov 28 2012 4:07 am I love Secret Garden. This drama is excellent! I read some comment of people hate this drama and judge SG, but I think the Ratings prove it! Almost 40, SG is really great. Every scene of Joo Won really funny and a bit silly, but I love it. The OST was so touching too. SG Daebakkkk!!!

Cpt Nov 18 2012 3:19 pm Great drama with great actors, i've watched a number of the south korean dramas & SeGa ranks amongst the best, along side boys over flowers. To those who haven't watched Boys over flowers, do &you won't regret.

Mark Nov 11 2012 10:45 pm I only have one word... excellent!

i really like this love story. i've been watching it over and over again...good job everyone! i hope you guys release more tv show like this in netflix because im in the USA and it's the only place i can watch my favorite korean movies.

i guess it's ironic, im a filipino-american and i don't understand korean language but i like korean movies and tv shows. thanks to subtitles, at least i can read and understand everything when im watching your film. now i want to learn korean language!

the ending of this novel is awesome! the sound track "that woman" is the best ever! congratulations to you all...

tooba Oct 28 2012 7:48 pm i am a pakistani girl and i dont know how to speak korean language but i watch all the episodes of secret garden because kim jo won and gill ra im,s love told me the importance of love.................i love this serial

Natalie chiwira (zimbabwe) Oct 22 2012 6:43 am SG was awesome!!!! I love the characters and location location!!!! i love the locations especally the design of the main house and his cars are awesome!!! Jin woo character the most and i dont even speak korean or know anyone who does :D :) :*

nhalis jelek Oct 08 2012 12:52 am love this drama... :D

Ha ji won unnie fighting..

Salads Oct 06 2012 7:37 pm Not sure whether to trust the opinion of the above review? Here is some background information, so you'll know if you might share similar tastes:

Dramas I liked (favorite to least favorite) Secret Garden (BEST DRAMA IN THE WOOOORRRRLLDD!) Boys over flowers (only because of the manga, the show itself was average) City Hunter (because of the lurking scenes) You're Beautiful (because it was so cheesy hahaha)

Dramas I did not like: Princess Hours (hate dramas where they make up politcal stuff, also the main character was annoying) My Princess (first few epsisodes were intersting, then it got SOOO boring) Mischievious Kiss (WOrst. Drama. Ever. Period)

P.S-read the above review and comment! would love to hear your opinons.

Salads Oct 06 2012 7:29 pm Not sure whether Secret Garden is your kinda thing? Read the review:

Secret Garden is definitely a great drama, and this is coming from someone who has watched Boys Over Flowers, You're Beautiful, Full House, etc, which all pale in comparison.

To enjoy Secret Garden you have to overlook those irrelevant details and focus on the package of the story. I couldn't stop watching this drama within the first ten seconds, after the music started playing. The music is a huge factor that contributes to the amazing atmosphere of the story, which is bittersweet, often humorous, mysterious, and at times filled with sorrow. I have to say that for me, the simple, wistful atmosphere made this drama wonderful.

The actors in the drama are also quite talented, especially in the scenes where they switch bodies. In some dramas (like boys over flowers) the acting is overly dramatic, unbelievable, and often times irritating, but the acting is perfectly balanced in Secret Garden; the funny scenes will make you chuckle, while the sad parts can make you bawl. I think Hyun Bin especially should be praised for his amazing transition from a cold billionaire to a poor girl. He plays all his roles strikingly well and you will never find a scene where the acting is just too much or plain lame.

Although the storyline is quite cliche, it is still well executed. The writer manages to put a huge twist on the usual korean drama techniques (Rich VS Poor, mother hating on the girlfriend, WARNING NEXT ARE SPOILERS: amnesia, sacrificing yourself for love). Maybe if you have seen too many dramas you will truly find the plot techniques boring, but those who do not watch korean dramas frequently will enjoy the fresh spins. The only problem I found with the plot was that it moved along too slowly at times, especially with the sub-character Oska scenes. The drama should have just focused on the main characters without giving so much storyline to the rest of the insignificant characters, since nobody really cared anyway. For me, everytime the non-main storyline came on I just skipped the parts, and it worked, because I just LOVE this drama.

Finally, I have to say the main reason for Secret Garden's success is its characters and their relationships with each other. This is a matter of personal opinion, but both Gi Ra Im and Kim Joo Won had interesting and amusing personalities. I found it refreshing that Gi Ra Im was not one of those typical main characters who did stupid things, said dumb stuff, etc: she was actually likeable. I think it was because she was humble and relatively modest. Kim Joo Won was also an awesome character, at times a bit overboard with obsessing over money. However, his overly pompous attitude only makes the drama more interesting to watch. A story needs to have exceedingly amusing and overly-exaggerated characters to be appealing. Who would want to watch a simple, boring show about every life? Maybe later in life, but certainly not at my age. The relationships between family (Oska and his cousins Kim Joo Won), other people (his secretary and Ra Im's roommate) were also very capturing and entertaining. The way the cousins constantly competed with each other was really funny, until it got seriously depressing in the end. DUNDUN DUN!

Anyway, I'm not going to spoil anything. Maybe its your thing, maybe its not. I know some people who absolutely are sickened by it. For me though, it was the best drama of all time, and I just loved the magical atmosphere it created.

Clara Oct 03 2012 3:33 pm Hello.

I do not understand why some people like "Secret Garden".

I mean, Kim Joo Won (the character played by Hyun Bin) humiliates so many times to Gil Ra Im. In episode 8 he calls her "dark and ugly". Even when they are already a couple, he keeps saying her woundings words. For example, in episode 14, he makes to tell/notice the social difference between him and Gil Ra Im, when he says: "You don't have to be that touched. Making the poor neighbor's life sweet is the sense of societal leaders". What is the point of saying "poor neighbour" and etc.? The same phrase that used in one episode to treat her really bad (vacuum cleaner scene).
Someone would expect an evolution of Kim Joo Won. But, no. For example, in episode 17, when he sacrificed himself to save Gil Ra Im, he writes a letter to Gil Ra Im, that says: "I’m letting you know beforehand that You Are the First and Last poor neglected neighbor to ever get a letter from society’s leader, Kim Joo Won. So be proud of yourself.".
WHAT?!
 In episode 15, when they are training Kim Joo Won says Gil Ra Im: "Do you need more miracles? There was already a miracle. A woman with no decent family background, no money, no good looks, is someone very special to someone who has everything. Isn’t that a miracle? Be honest. When I was clinging on to you, I know you said “go away, disappear”, but inside you were going KYA!!! Right?".

I mean, why does Kim Joo Won keep/remain being arrogant?

Why does he keep his arrogance and mistreatment to others? Even towards Gil Ra Im.

 In the final episode, when they are already married, and they are talking about fairytales, Kim Joo Woon tells Gil Ra Im: "Moreover, they're attractive. But how did someone with your looks meet someone like me?". Then, Gil Ra Im replies: "You said, Gil Ra Im, at what age did you become so pretty?"; and Kim Joo Won answers: "A man trying to win over a girl will obviously say these things".
Or even worst. When they (Kim Joo Won and Gil Ra Im) are in their wedding night, and Yeun Seul and Ozka went to Joo Won's house to decorate it like wedding gift Kim Joo Won flirts  with Yeun Seul, when he says Seul "It would've been better if we met when I was 21". !!

I did not see an evolution or development in Kim Joo Won. 
Why does he feel attracted to Gil Ra Im? Because she does not feel attracted to him. Such a  narcissistic. He was used to get all he wanted. But, then, he falls in love with her because  she is such a sweet person. But, why does Gil Ra Im fall in love with Kim Joo Won? I mean, he is constantly humiliating her. He is so disdainful. HE NEVER APOLOGIZES. He never said sorry to Gil Ra Im for all the woundings words he said her through the episodes.

Ricky Sep 13 2012 8:26 pm The first Korean Drama I watched was IRIS and then Athena. And I thought they were great. But then I watched Secret Garden. This mini-series just blew me away. Ha Ji-Won just amazed me with her acting. She was exceptional. I wondered how did she manage to go deep within yourself to cry constantly in that series. I bet that took a lot of energy. And I thought that Hyun-Bin played his role well. The story line was brilliant. Well done Kim Eun-Suk. And great directing Shin Woo-Cheol and Kwon Hyuk-Chan. It seemed as if the whole cast really enjoyed making this movie series. I really enjoyed it. And I enjoy watching Korean movies as well.

khols Aug 20 2012 4:05 pm a beautiful korean love drama with a excellent ending <3 salute to the director and the cast crew

the reason why i love this drama is because it has proffesional actress and actor.. keep up the good work. also i like hyun bin in this drama. he s so sweet :-)

Abi Aug 08 2012 8:27 pm Iam an Indian... I used to watch south-indian dramas previously. But after watching few of the Korean dramas, including secret garden..I must say I totally got additicted to that....I do not understand a single word in Korean language...but I love to watch it reading the sub-title in English....all my friends and family members used to tease me telling that "when did you become Korean?"...Korea is an alien country to me... But after seeing beautiful Korea in dramas, I would like to visit at least once in my lifetime...

Celina Aug 05 2012 12:33 pm @Comment #254 Maya

Oh so you feel sad for me? That's funny because I don't feel sad for you. See this is one of the most stupid things that a K-drama fanatic does, getting all pissed off and defensive when somebody expresses dislike for the fluffy drama you're obsessed with. You wanna know WHY I dislike this drama? Because it's so darn full of cliches. Each element was recycled from other dramas. Poor girl and rich arrogant jerk? Check. Body switching? Check. Mama who hates the poor girl? Check. OH AND DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE AMNESIA. The resolution of that arc was ridiculous. Good thing the chemistry between the lead actors saved the poorly-written storyline. Gawd there are a lot of "romantic" dramas with a much better plot line than this one. This was just all sparkle and sugar without much substance underneath.

Fan from Miami Jul 17 2012 6:46 pm I totally loved this kdrama, this is the second kdrama one I see. I totally fell in love with the whole story!!!! yes, it is cheesy, and I love it! I can't get enough of Secret Garden, I am watching it for a second time! =.) I wonder what does Kim Joo Won drink at his house? Gil Ra Im says "he takes care of himself" in one of the episodes. Those small beige colored bottles... what is it?

elise0605 Jul 16 2012 9:37 pm I really love Secret Garden. This drama is the best Korean drama for me : good story, excellent cast, beautiful filming locations, especially I love Hyun Bin's acting. Totally awesome! I am waiting for Hyun Bin's coming back from Military services at the 6th December this year.^_^

maia Jul 11 2012 7:02 pm my no. 1 drama ever.

yen Jul 06 2012 7:34 pm i couldnt find another kdrama better then SeGa. I love the whole package of stroryline, actors/actress, filming location, character, all off them. and because of SeGa, not to mention kdrama before SG i loved, everytime i try to watch another kdrama, at the end, i rewatch SeGa again and again and again. everytime i got tired, bad mood, i rewatch SeGa again and again :)

StrawberryQwik Jul 06 2012 10:54 am Oh yeah-- and Hyun Bin's acting is outstanding. Didn't realize just how talented he is until I watch the whole series. The range of emotions he's able to display are nothing short of masterful.

StrawberryQwik Jul 06 2012 10:50 am I really LOVE this drama. For once, the woman is not being a doormat, and following the man around like a love-sick puppy, hoping that he will one day-- someday-- love her. Ra-Im gives Joo-Won a dose of the medicine he so badly needs. That mother of his is just plain craZy! All of the actors in the series were really, really good, and by the end of the series I was totally in love with "Oska." He really wasn't a bad guy, and learned the life lesson he was supposed to-- sweet guy. I also have to give props to "Ah Young" (Yoo In-Na). She was everything a "BFF" is supposed to be-- she laughed and cried with Ra-Im. It seemed like she was gonna die (in the hospital scene) when Ra-Im was in that coma. Joo-Won's secretary, "Kim Sung-Oh" was too cute. He reminds me of "Park Hoon" (Hyun Ki-Joon's secretary) in LIE TO ME. All in all, SECRET GARDEN is one of the BEST K-Dramas around, and I can watch over-and-over again.

Izzie Jul 04 2012 3:55 am Random thought but...Is it just me or is the whole series filmed outdoors or in a reaaaally cold warehouse? Every time the characters speak you can see puffs of smoke....But great series though very funny ;)

jibin Jun 29 2012 10:51 pm I think this drama is the best of the best for me...But someone don't think so. someone say this drama is boreing..and no chemistry..I think taste of drama for each person are differrent....If we are debate it become the war. Everybody who post in here are right not wrong because it is your opinion.we have reason to think so. When we watch drama,we want happyness and funny.If drama can not made us happyness. we don't watch it......ok....

          this is reason and notice for SeGa...
          1.this drama is good for people who in love , know is love ?and how to love? but not good for people who strong not romance because when you watch this drama.U can not understand it.This drama can not watch it by eye but You should watch it by heart little by little...and watch it alone..If You do this You can understand how drama is very beautiful and impression??????? ?????
          2.this drama is talent because it have  many innovation scence ete site up ,foam kiss.We don't see it before....
          3.drama is fantasy but actor play real. Sometime I think If we can swith body.They made me go to fantasy with them...
          4. main actor and actress play with strong chemistry......so I confuse they are action or they are in love really....I don't know Hajiwon before..but when I watch this drama...I  like and fall in love her....because she is very excellent.....
          5. this drama made viewer...happy,funny and sad....but want to watch and rewatch it manytime....when I feel boun out...I rewatch this drama...I will refresh it again...
          at all my opinion...hope you can accept it...thank you. admin for this web...

LoonyLizard Jun 02 2012 2:54 pm The key to getting into Secret Garden and truly understanding it is to realize that it's a retelling of Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream," crossed with "Freaky Friday" and a little "Much Ado About Nothing." The main couple fall in love by fighting, after being connected by virtue of the fact that they get their bodies switched, an event so unprecedented that they can only turn to each other for understanding.

What makes the story especially powerful is how their love grows so strong that Joo-Won is actually willing to turn his back on his family for the sake of being with Ra-Im. In Korean culture, this is thought of as an even bigger sacrifice than one's own life, because a person without family is considered to be less than nothing. The idea that a man would throw away his entire identity in society to be with the woman he loves is one of those grand gestures that sounds cliche, but is in fact one of remarkable depth, caring, and passion. There are ample reasons why this drama received so many awards and so much critical acclaim alongside its commercial success. All you have to do is watch and think a little, and they will become obvious.

Side Note: Secret Garden makes for a great "stay-in" date with your significant other. I highly recommend it.

HR May 29 2012 12:08 am I'm really shocked that there are so many positive comments about this drama....it was ok at first, but I did not understand the main couple, Ra-Im and Joo-Won - which totally ruined it. Joo-Won was not likeable AT ALL. No chemistry, no reason for Ra-Im to like him..did not make sense. I continued watching only to see what happened to the other characters, while skipping over the Ra-Im/Joo-Won scenes.

jiwon lover May 24 2012 7:40 pm hi kathy its up to you.but for this is one of the best drama.

Kathy May 24 2012 12:57 am This is a boring & silly drama. I don't know how this drama got an award in the Korea last year

RiHanMy May 13 2012 5:36 am I love this drama..starting from 1st episode..i became addicted..so I bought DVD..and watched it for several times...I can feel chemistry between Hyun Bin dan Ha Ji Won... :)

jiwon lover May 12 2012 6:35 pm ha ji won the best actress in the world

Jess May 12 2012 11:27 am First of all, I want to say that I LOVE this drama. Saranghae Hyun Bin oppa! For those who thinks this drama is boring must have sth wrong with their head. They're not good-looking? If they are not, then even UGLY is not enough to describe you. They acted so well, so perfect, don't say they don't have any chemistry. If you are the ones who acted in the drama, the rating s would be 0,01 % Understand??????????

jiwon lover May 09 2012 8:02 pm ha ji won you are great actress

Hyunbinsarange May 02 2012 10:00 pm I just finished this series in 2 days. I love this drama so much.. It's really moved my heart. My heart beating fast everytime i see KJW. Well, the plots might seens abit old school but it was those casts that make this series different. I love KJW's cars.. love all those kiss scenes. Don't you all agree that most ppl are looking or wish to have this kind of relationship. it is so romantic.

paria Apr 17 2012 5:47 am i really like very much this drama, may be it have times that person bored, but in the middle or some how the last is what makes perfect. other drama i watched it was like when a millioner guy falls for poor girl he was accepting her at first, this drama was different there was some times i was pushing my laptob just to hit the guy but at last i was really forget what was my angry, that is what drama to be, i'm biggest fan for this drama, it was worth waiting the end even i became bored firs. <3. the o ther thing was there was alot of kiss in this drama it was like satisfying people :)) <3

ST Apr 16 2012 11:05 pm I actually agree with JD; this drama is a bit boring. The plot line, the acting, the character development... all very weak, extremely cliched, and drastically unrealistic. I tend to find that those who usually like this drama are normal Korean or Japanese drama watchers, and those who found this drama boring less frequently watch asian dramas (or not at all). This is just a heads up to the type of people who *might* enjoy this drama.

And to Wesley, in response to JD's statement. Characters are too mature? I think that the characters are too immature for my liking- that's why I can't watch this drama much longer.

I respect those who do like this drama, though. This just isn't my cup of tea.

Wesley Apr 11 2012 8:59 am This is the best drama I have ever watched in the Rom-Com genre.

To those of you who thought it was boring. While I respect your opinion, i think you need to reevaluate why you are watching Romantic Comedies. We all have different preferences, however to say it is boring is a little extreme. Maybe the characters are too mature for your liking? No Chemistry? I don't get it.

My Top 5 1. Secret Garden 2. My girlfriend is a Gumiho 3. The Greatest Love 4. You're Beautiful 5. Coffee Prince

JD Apr 10 2012 10:36 am Sorry to disappoint all the people who think we should never write anything bad, but quite a few of us actually check sites like this to help us decide whether we should begin watching or continue to watch a particular show. Personally, I really appreciate it when someone honestly let's me know what they think--especially when what they say helps me to avoid wasting my precious time. Anyone who disagrees is perfectly free to go out and buy the special edition DVD set if they want, but they can go jump in a lake if they think I'm going to listen to them just praise the hell out of any drama and then let them deny me the right to state my own opinion as well. (Translation: Those of you who are jumping down the throats of other people just because they don't agree with you really suck! So you can either let others have their say, or shut up yourself!) Now that that's out of the way, on to my review...

Like many others, I found this drama boring and silly. The main characters lacked chemistry, the plot was "uneven" to say the least, most of the supporting characters were weak and not well developed, and the "comedy" just wasn't very funny. The whole "rich vs. poor" thing was way overdone and completely over the top at times. I honestly feel that this drama was definitely not worth 20 episodes of time and effort. Too bad I didn't see enough negative reviews around and got taken in by all the positive stuff I read. I'm still trying to decide whether the majority of those reviewers who praised Secret Garden up to the sky were paid to promote it, or whether they just have really bad taste in dramas. (Or maybe they just like to watch their favorite stars, and don't really care about anything else--which is their right, of course.) That said, let me make it clear that I don't have anything against the lead actors, and I'm sure they'd do much better given better writing and direction.

JM Apr 06 2012 10:36 pm @ BORING

NO WONDER YOU'RE BOOOOORED as your name is BOOOORING. Get it?! LOL. You said that you got bored with this drama and didn't like it - so why even more waste the time to right? YOU MUST BE BOOOORED huh? Better that you get a life - a piece of advice. :)

Denise Mar 16 2012 1:20 pm I loved this drama but the ending is KILLING ME! I cant get it out of my head!!!! It is bitter sweet with more bitter than sweet as i can see all the pitfalls & problems that will arise!!! I so need a Secret Garden part II!!!!!

forstarter Mar 03 2012 5:03 pm i'm not the kind of person who sits for a long hours of series drama..it gets tiring just thinking how long i would watch dramas. to my surprise, i didn't even notice that "that wasn't me" anymore during watching this drama..pretty sure to love the girl character here, all that she endures..the actor/hyunbin did a great job too..i've already watched it for 8 times now..and i ask myself "why" i just can get over it? but now the answer was just simply as "i have just watched, one of the great drama of a lifetime",...it's just my opinion..

Peach Feb 25 2012 8:21 am I love this drama ! i go 2 the cd shop to buy it but it is out of stock !!!!!!!!!!! I love hyun bin and ha ji won forever ... ever .... ever .... ever .... ever ....(1000000000000)

Zhai Feb 25 2012 3:08 am The Best Korean Drama !! I am super addicted in this movie ,, i really miss this !! i want it to came back !! :(

hyuwon Feb 05 2012 2:40 am @ boring excuse me.. fist if all this drama is not boring like what you've said you should watch it from the start and i assure u that u will watch it until the end and the casts are good looking enough to have a million of fans worldwide!!!!! and as u can see ha ji won and other casts are going to japan to promote secret garden on there... it really certifies that the drama is really nice that's why a lot of people love it and going crazy over it and besides it also earned a lot of awards !!!!! so watch your words my little dear CHOOSE YOUR WORDS WISELY!!!

LyArisa Jan 27 2012 9:39 pm The best drama I have ever watch.. Love both HB & HJW.. They really have an amazing chemistry.. Should end up together as real couple :))

boring Jan 23 2012 7:46 pm Watched a few episodes of this, so boring! Why is everyone so 'love' this drama????? There's got to be better drama than this! The main characters aren't that good looking, I really don't get this... you guys are weird!

jiwon-juri Jan 18 2012 3:41 am This kdrama is the best of the best! I've watched a LOT of asian dramas (meteor garden,princess hours,coffee prince, SWAK, etc) this one surpasses every drama that I've ever watched before, I became an instant fan of Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin.

mocha Jan 17 2012 12:40 am Most of the time when I watch Asian drama, I really get annoyed with girls being stupid, naive, & etc. like the main girl character in "it started with a kiss" and "Flower Boy Ramyn Shop." I know they are "supposed" to be innocent, but it is really annoying when they are so over the top & seems needy. That's why I could never finish the series. I really hate it when female character doesn't get the respect that they deserve. May be because I grow up in US, but I don't think girls would act that way in real life (&in Korea).

So, when I watched Secret Garden, I was hoping that it would not be another "weak" female character. Turn out, "Secret Garden" wasn't that bad (the female character wasn't that annoying). Kil Ra-Im character is like she would do everything to protect her friends, but when it comes to herself, she would just let other people mistreat her (like her director). She got better as the show progress. That was the only weakness of the show.

The love between Kil Ra-Im & Kim Joo-Won is so perfect. The actors chemistry is great. The supporting characters are so amazing as well. Plus, it is really funny in some parts & really sad in some. So, it has everything.

This is one of the great dramas that I ever seen so far.

Next drama I would recommend is City Hunter. The female character is very strong too. She is a secret service agent.

Liz Jan 06 2012 11:29 pm I'm a picky person and kdramas have been overrated these past few years.... i havent found one to watch in a longgggg time.... Everything seems to be like BOF or somehow MUSICALL! URGHHHH... BUT BOYYYYY I HAVE TO SAY THIS DRAMA IS THE SH**T! So different compared to ones today. I absolutely loved every bit of it and the actors/actresses! I wish there was more to it. xD i just can't get enough.

chriselle5 Jan 01 2012 1:31 pm best thing thats happened to me in 2011 haha i've seen quite a few korean dramas actually BUT this one has to be my all time favourite. It reminds me a lot of BOF but nonetheless in my opinion is much better! i laughed so much throughout and cried my heart out towards the end, this is a must watch and an absolute favourite! finished it first in 2 days and then rewatched it straight away can't get enough of it. the acting skills were amazing, the body swapping was so realistic you believed every moment of it. basically if you havent seen it.. WATCH IT NOW! saranghae hyun bin <3

Lana Dec 19 2011 4:34 am What a wonderful fantasy drama, not to mention the actors in it. The best Korean drama I've seen.

Jane Dec 15 2011 11:56 pm To me it's simple, Secret Garden is the BEST Korean drama i've seen so far, period. I have been watching a lot of K dramas lately and when i finally saw Secret Garden, it's now hard for me to even get interested in another one because my standards are very high now thanks to Secret Garden. Hyun Bin is simply PERFECT in this drama, every little expression, the way he played his character is so special that you wont ever forget about Joo Won, his character is very different because while he is so arrogant and sure of himself, he has this fragile side to him and i love how he became totally obsessed with this girl, not once he left her side or considered going out with another woman and to me that was special and so romantic. The way the main actors played the switching bodies is also perfection, they totally make you believe that they are in each other's body, with other actors this could have been horrible but the main actors totally made this show work and considering the huge ratings and the popularity of this drama that continue even a year later, i think Secret Garden will become a classic.

Maya Dec 14 2011 4:58 pm to Celina, I can't help myself from feeling sorry for you for not being able to watch the drama till the end of it. If you're not the lovey-dovey-type of person, you SHOULDN'T waste your time watching this drama in the first place.. =.= Person like you unfortunately could not feel the warmth of love and the scent of romance that the movie had show to me and the others.. You could not witnessed the beauty of love and your sight was shielded by the shallow critics and poor judgement of yours.. so sad..

My comment of the drama: Its beautiful.. After all the pains and tears that the girl had to endures, a perfect ending makes all the sacrifices worth it..( I think I fall in love with Gil Ra Im unnie, the coolest woman I've ever seen ^^ eventhough I'm a girl ) Now I know.. that happy ending love DO exist :) It just take a long time to appear, had to go through many obstacle and a dozen of tears.. ( the parts where Gil Ra Im cried never failed on making me cried too, when I can't hold my tears looking at a girl who never let a single tears on her cheeks in front of a man, but burst into crying when someone cursed at her beloved father.. T.T) Anyway, I just want to share my opinion about this drama with all the witnesses of this magnificent drama and I'm really glad that I watched it :)

Jygrl413 Dec 06 2011 12:55 pm i absolutely luv'd this drama. My daughter got me watching korean dramas even though she herself doesn't. and it all started with athena and isis. this one was awesome!!! =) luv'd the characters and the chemistry between the actors. absolutely fantabulous!!! great job.

ichil Nov 28 2011 1:23 am this is the best Kdrama i've watched all in all. i'm really thankful to have watched this series because through this, i have came to LOVE jiwon-unnie. i'm now a big fan of hjw aaand is so much rooting for her! hb and hjw's pair up is the best. :))) P>S> most perfect ending ever XD

SisterB Nov 21 2011 11:17 am Definitely one of my favorites to include one of the best endings so far. The body switching was a weird side story but other than that, loved it. Hyun Bin was already on my favorite list but now I have added Ha Ji-Won. Watching everything that I can find by her!!

Sharon Park Nov 17 2011 3:53 pm I am officially addicted to this drama and hyunbin. I even bought the comic books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SG Nov 08 2011 8:32 pm I love this drama so much~! I cried on ALMOST every episode on this -____- This is a must watch show! You won't regret it! I'm going to miss this drama SOOO much! All of the cast are amazing! 시크릿 가든 사랑해요! 화이팅~!

Celina Nov 04 2011 8:36 pm why the hell does everyone love secret garden??? i tried watching it but i never enjoyed it. it's overly sweet and the characters are too stereotypical. the story dragged on and on and on. it bored me to death. the storyline is very weak and it has no originality. soul swapping? please!! the drama is as cliche as any korean rom-com could get. tbh city hunter is waaaayyyy better (and im not even a lee min ho). secret garden does NOT deserve all the hype. god people.

faith Nov 01 2011 12:23 pm the best drama ever... script is perfect, acting is amazing HYUN BIN is the dream guy. just watch it. you'll never be regret actually you're gonna want to watch it again and again...

annabella Jul 23 2011 6:39 am Sorry to say but this drama is really over-rated. Hyun Bin and Ji Won doesn't have chemistry. They are both great in the roles they played but the drama is really boring and draggy. Yes, there are some memorable scene that will stay with you but there were no exciting until after watching more than 60 percent way through.

Anna Jul 20 2011 5:08 am I'm Happy....We want part two of Secret Garden is too Awsome...

TOK Jul 14 2011 4:12 am this drama is ok but the plot is similiar to Super Great Japanese movie 'Exchange student', also known as 'Tenkosei', released in 1982.

BTX124 May 30 2011 3:26 am I have started to memorize the OST (That Man by Hyun Bin). I can't help thinking about the story after I finished the koreanovela last week, hays... This is one of the results after you've watched the 20 episodes. If you'd like to repeat the movie, please take note on episode 13 where Oscar is practicing their number for his upcoming concert. On that scene, Baek Ji Young is Oscar's partner. By the way, Baek Ji Young is the one who sung the OST-That Man (Female Version). Everytime i'm listening to this song, I'm having a goosebumps.... Watch it for yourselves... You will not regret it... Ciao... (^_^)

fara May 07 2011 9:15 am i am sure that secret garden is the best drama that i have ever seen.secret garden makes me crazy and it had a lot of beautiful and awesome dialogues that make me feel happy or sad because of the realitis that they show and discuss i suggest this drama for the beautiful time that it gives to me

maje May 06 2011 11:21 pm i really, really, really love secret garden. one of the best korean dramas i've ever watched. i love hyun bin and ha ji won.

patrick May 06 2011 8:28 pm I love this drama. The way how it present "imaginary" thinking of a girl, is very smart and conceptually touching. The walking pace between two people...think about a girl in different dress and response. It is really happened to me when I first met my love one. The soundtrack is always strike at the right mood and timing. The story plot is exceptionally good too. To explain how two people with such a different background can fall in love, the best way is to exchange the perspective of their worlds. I was also touched by the 2nd line of the love story, it is always some misunderstanding between lovers and causing pain. Most of the time is we are not put on others angle to see things.

Aya May 06 2011 8:59 am Hello guys! I am very happy to see that a lot of people are hooked with this drama. I am also so much into this drama. After I finished all the episodes, I just couldn't stop thinking about it. I watched it again and again and I just couldn't get enough of it. When Ra Im almost died, I was touched by how Joo Won decided to just take her place and die instead by switching bodies with her. Good thing that it was a happy ending coz if it's not, I think a lot of us would be hurt so bad. The twist was really a twist, you won't really expect that it is going to happen. I like all the scenes especially the sit-up scene on the first and the last episodes and the other scenes with sweetness. It relaxed me and eased me from all the worries. True! I like how they put words together (translated to English), the punch lines and the script are all very satisfactory. I learned a lot of Korean expressions too! I love it! ^^ I am also wondering if there is Joo Won (even without so much wealth) in real life. I think that it is close to impossible. kkk!~ Anyway, I also agree that the OST is the best. After watching half of the drama, I immediately asked my Korean friend to download the song for me and I was able to transfer everything to my ipod in just a few minutes. I fell in love with Joo Won's character and intelligence in the drama, I was amazed by Ra Im's tough and cool attitude, I like Oska's humor and Seul's looks. I recommend this drama to everyone, single or married, you will never go wrong. Now, I feel so inlove... again. ^^ Good job for the Korean makers of this drama. Hope to see more in the future. ^^

ken May 06 2011 3:32 am Secret Garden is indeed a top rating series...great plot and phasing matched with great actors...i'm just sad 'coz we won't be seeing Hyun Bin for few years because of his military training...

SHIAN BAYLON May 04 2011 10:21 am IT WAS SO FUNNY AHAHHA

mhaye May 03 2011 7:48 am the best!!

kfan May 03 2011 7:10 am a brilliant masterpiece!!!! Secret Garden is undeniably d best drama of 2010-2011 and probably d decade's 1 of d best.... Ha ji-won still is at her best and their chemistry with Hyun-Bin is superb not to mention d goddess and almost perfect Kim Sa-rang who is at her topmost performance in this drama and OSKA's humor gave justice to the high expectations in this drama.... d storyline was excellent and it didnt focused solely on d body switching story.... setting was fine and d minor characters were as good as d leads.... definitely a 5/5...

Ha Ji-won & Hyun Bin ------------------------ perfect Kim Sa-rang & Yoon Sang-yoon--------------- PERFECT minor characters ---------------------------- excellent setting ------------------------------------- very good STORY ------------------------------------- PERFECT

virginia agudo Apr 28 2011 3:53 am super ganda... i cannot wait any longer for the television premiere to be aired on channel 7,that is why I, patiently watched it on my computer, it was so beautiful, hay!! it was so funny that i laugh all the time, especially during their first switching... and i cried sooooo hard at epesode 17,18,19 and 20....all actors did a great job, and the OST is MAGANDA also, eventhough i cannot understand it my heart can feel it..

Eun-Ae Mihn Apr 06 2011 7:45 am I had watched this Korean Drama and the story was different to other Korean drama that I had watched. I like all the casts and their acting. I was having fun while watching it. This drama was simply awesome.

Kpoplover Apr 02 2011 3:36 am ''Kim Soo Han Mu, a turtle and a crane, 180,000 year old Dong Bang Sak, Chichikapo, Sarisarisenta'' LOL ^^! I loved Secret Garden. Hyun Bin and Ji Won did a great job, best acting couple ever, BOOM<3.

Jason Mar 31 2011 6:31 am If you read all the way to here then stop reading and watch The Secret Garden instead! I just finished watching all the episodes last night and i realy do think Korean Drama is first rate! I love the endings on most Korean Drama but Secret Garden is a bit of a surprise as you go! This one is up there with Pasta!

Ssuzen + Neelam Mar 30 2011 10:46 pm Fantastic Drama i've ever seen, it is like Piosion, i spreaded this piosion they becomes addicted. I Love Korean Drama. it's story really Heart touchable. Keep it more 'Sunbae' . It's 2011 best TV drama in this year. we are enjoying very much in this series. Good Luck Hyun Bin & Ha Ji-Won SarangE........................................!

Q Mar 30 2011 11:27 am This is the BEST Korean drama in 2011. I really hooked up in the first episode. Whoever said that this drama is boring, they don't know about good Korean drama at all.

maynhl Mar 29 2011 9:29 am I am addicted to this drama, both main characters are so great for together. Alot of laugh, tears when i watched this drama. I got this drama by accident email from a friend. I never watch asian drama before, but i have to say that this Korea Drama got into me. SBS's producer, story writer better come up with more stories for H.B/H.J.W. They are so perfect for each other, great chemistry. Do they know they got a lot of fanS on EARTH, where there are asianS, there are fanS of them.

alee Mar 28 2011 11:27 pm Really great Kromcom movie! fell in love with the characters. Love the ending after all the endless crap they had to go thru. So, happy they shown how their lives were after 5 years of marriage. It was wicked cute!

t Mar 26 2011 3:20 pm this is my second Korean drama and this is the most phenomenal show i ever seen i hope to see more shows of Hyun-Bin and Ha Ji-Won.

puffy^^ Mar 25 2011 12:42 am It's an ALL in 1 drama. ACTION. HORROR. ROMANCE. COMEDY. MYSTERY. What else would you want? Haha. Epic ending. At the end, still THE MOTHER didn't accept them (only her grandsons) HAHAHA. =)

2006Charlemagne Mar 25 2011 12:05 am at first the story was so interesting but later when they got exchanged I feel so bored becoz the acting wasn't good specially the girl who acts as man, its not convincing...lol.... but this coming april it will be air in the phils...this is only my own opinion,,,,

2006Charlemagne Mar 24 2011 11:58 pm the story was so boring,,,

ryan Mar 24 2011 7:09 am great....

Reni Mar 23 2011 5:32 am Two tumbs up...if there are thousand tumbs..i will do a thousand tumbs up for this movie...very funny..good combination stars... Must see!!

baby_baka Mar 09 2011 10:22 am how many times do the switch bodies?

ash Mar 09 2011 3:33 am and also, that series is suspense....and the story is very beautiful,....heheh nice.

Joey Silvia Mar 05 2011 3:37 am hyun bin oppa-in serial movie secret garden is very funny and cool. . . his acting was very natural. . hopefully can see a movie serial-hyun bin oppa again, in the future. .

In my opinion, hyun-bin oppa in this film series is the perfect guy. . I really like how to talk oppa. . .................................................. End .............. ................................... .......... from: Indonesia (Joey)

Hildi Mar 04 2011 3:01 am Hi I'm from Indonesia. I loveeee Secret garden so much! I think we also have so many fans here in Indonesia. I hope one of local tv here airing this drama soon. I'm so obsessed with this drama. Love hyun bin!

kyashi39 Mar 02 2011 12:15 pm i love this drama. i love the chemistry with all the characters (not just the main hyun bin and ha ji-won thing). although i wish hyun bin and ha ji-won would be a couple in real life. i'm fully aware that they have different personalities in real life and probably does not match in real life. also, the only baseline as of why i would like the secret garden main couple to be lovers in real life is because of how greatly they portray each other's characters. thus, i also think it would be better if they love someone else whom they're truly love and comfortable with each other in real life, rather than being together because of the characters they act upon.

===

Yoon Sang-Hyun, i saw him first in my wife is a superwoman, i really wish he was the main male character and would end up with the main female character. but the story ended righteously. =3 i think he's really a great actor and singer. whether he plays as main male or not. his charisma and acting are overwhelming that you'd forget about his age. i'm planning to watch his other drama wherein he's the main lead actor. i hope to see him in future projects again <333 (same goes for other characters here in secret garden =3)

Kim Sa-Rang, this is the first time i saw her act. her acting in first few episode, even made me think she's just an extra nuisance for the main actress. she proved me wrong. her character is the most flexible and one of the hardest to portray in my perspective point of view. from extra-nuisance, antagonist, protagonist, supporting to just-an-extra she played them all well..which is amazing!! only few actresses could do such acting in one character!! <333

===

i like how joo won's mother as villain. she's consistent and does not waiver as to how she dislikes gil ra im for her son. but what i can't understand is why through all out the series, she thinks that "they" could never be happy or end up in a tragic love story like hers. i wish there would be extra episode as to what she's referring to. i somehow understand that she and joo won's father ended up not being together. but "how"/"why", is the question. so the viewers would understand why she kept on saying "no" to their relationship...not just because of the mere concept that Ra Im is poor, etc.

===

also, this is the first time i noticed ha ji-won, i know she also did other series like "...bali" (can't recall the complete title) but, yeah, this is the first series i recognize her acting skills which i think is amazing and professional <333

June Mar 02 2011 12:24 am I love "Secret Garden". Hyun Bin n Ha Ji-Won & Yoon Sang-Hyun n Kim Sa-Rang perfect match.

mrs jgb Mar 01 2011 6:38 am omg!! i love this drama...n i was wondering what is the soundtrack for the last episod where kim joo won went 2 da ra im gather's funeral?

irene Feb 28 2011 9:38 am Heyy, I'm from Bali, Indonesia. I really really like this drama! Very interesting in every episodes. Love Hyun Bin SOoooooooo Muuuuucchh! Hyun bin! Hyun bin! Really good actor, I like when he acted like gil ra im, that's very funny! This is very nice drama, number one! 2 thumbs up!

irene Feb 28 2011 9:08 am Heyy, I'm from Bali, Indonesia. I really really like this drama! Very interesting in every episodes. Love Hyun Bin SOoooooooo Muuuuucchh! Hyun bin! Hyun bin!

Aibe Feb 24 2011 12:06 pm SECRET GARDEN FTW!!! xD

roche Feb 24 2011 1:09 am this drama is great..i love it.... ^_^

jia Feb 20 2011 11:54 am i love secret garden. ep 19 made me cry. when the dad fell and crashed. that was not cool.

Kim Ju won Feb 18 2011 11:18 am Best drama in the world. No joke. omg. i love it :) Hyun bin, ha ji won were both amazing at acting.. they played their roles perfectly. Hyun bin, i love you <3

Riza Feb 18 2011 4:36 am i really love this drama and its soundtrack. I was just wondering if anyone happens to know the title and artist of the song that played in episode 12 around 51 mins upto 52 min 14 seconds. It is the part when Oscar just left Seul's studio and tried to call someone but backed out. The song lasted upto the scene where Joo Won is walking in the snow with the contractors of the resort. Hope to hear from someone really soon. AJA AJA!!

amee Feb 14 2011 12:53 pm it's so late but..nomu..nomu...nomu...nomu..saranghaeyo this drama... chukaeo for director and scrip writer made drama so good... fighting for the actor...

Kang So Yun Feb 14 2011 5:36 am 그남자,그여자,here i am,you are my everything,너는 나의 봄이다,상처만 ^^enjoy and download these songs safe peepleㅋ시크릿가든 화이팅~

Kang So Yun Feb 14 2011 5:33 am Okay so I'm Korean and I live in Korea, but I just can't help you people saying that Ha Jiwon(하지원) is better with Hyun Bin(현빈) than Song Hye Gyo(송혜교), and that you want them to go out or something~So I'm going to answer all you people's questions. Okay they are both pretty...well... most korean girls are pretty, but Song Hye Gyo(송혜교) has done the main girl character with Hyun Bin(현빈) as the main guy in a drama and that became real and then they started going out..And some people in America keep asking me about Son Ye Jin(손예진) in the last episode of Secret Garden. First of all... she doesn't go out with Hyun Bin(현빈) xD ㅋㅋㅋShe just came out in the last episode becuz she knows the script writer well^^But there is also a big thing in korea about how Japan is watching Secret Garden through Youtube and stuff without buying it legally yet and script writer isn't very happy about that, and 7 comments up is sylvia navarro and she asked if the male lead is famous in korea yes he is. Also some people asked if there are any other handsome beautiful actors in Korea, yes there are a lot more for instance Won Bin(원빈) p.s. really handsome~but and People in the US are also asking me the name of all the OSTs in Secret Garden so ill post all the names of the songs below^^~

ehmy2ne1 Feb 14 2011 5:13 am it was good...........

Michelle Feb 12 2011 11:19 am i feel so disappointed because of the last episode. i really think that they shouldn't have shown their lives after 5 years. it felt like the magic of love was gone. who the hell wants 3 crying kids at their home :((((

Nancy Lowe Feb 11 2011 6:18 pm I'm addicted to this drama. Watched it over and over about million times. Really wished Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won became "the" couple in real life. They were perfect match for each other. Good looks, great chemistry and ....... While Song Hye Kyo is beautiful, she seems cold and distant. Ha Ji Won is passionate and sophisticated, more suited to be Hyun Bin's girlfriend. Maybe after his return from a two-year military duty, he will have a change of heart.

menk m Feb 01 2011 5:17 am according to allkpop, sbs will be airing 2 more episodes of secret garden as lunar new year special. homg, i hope it's true!! i've been missing secret garden so badly. secret garden was a great great drama. kudos to the director and screenwriter! and two thumbs up for the actors and actresses esp hyunbin & ha jiwon! such an amazing crew team! - anyways, is this the best? are u sure? xD

HB & HJW lover Jan 30 2011 12:12 am In addition, I was crying, laughing, & heart felt by the stories.

HB & HJW lover Jan 30 2011 12:06 am Wow!!!!!!!! I did not want to watch any Korean drama; however, my friend recommended it. Even though I'm Korean living in the US, I've never watched any Korean dramas. However, this drama was a wonderful w/ excellent stories, good actors & actress, excellent acting skills, wonderful backgrounds, & good OSTs. I just finished seeing Secret Garden for only two days all of the 20 episodes. I hooked it w/ actors & actress. I wish the USA buys this drama, so American people could see it because it is the number one in the Korean drama history. I'm giving my two hands. Thumps up.

Darren Jan 29 2011 10:05 pm Does anyone know where to get some merchandise from this kdrama? posters, dolls, etc.

r-w Jan 29 2011 10:19 am uuwwhhh....Hyun Bin opps, I like him so much....His eyes...

joowonnie Jan 28 2011 10:45 am I already finished all the episode. This drama should be placed to be #1. I love this drama so much, I skipped my sleep time to see the drama. I love how Hyun Bin acted perfectly to be Kim Joo Won. And I'm fall in love with Kim Joo Won character. Hyun Bin is top actor. I love seeing how he loved Ra Im so much. I wonder if there any Kim Joo Won in a real life? And I love seeing Hyun Bin with Ha Ji Won this is their 2nd project being together after Daddy's Long Leg eventhough Hyun Bin wasn't Ha Ji Won's love interest. Well, I hope they will be a real couple. I know that Hyun Bin is now Song Hye Kyo's man, but I think Song Hye Kyo's man fits on Rain (only my thoughts). When Joo Won become Ra Im, I laughed a lot. Hyun Bin is the best actor. Best drama of the 10/11 year. And second place went to Prosecutor Princess. Yay SBS!!! For producing such a great drama ever.

secret fan Jan 28 2011 2:03 am omo......i really damn like dis drama. i told all my fwenz how amazing dis story is, and i knew dey all like it too. now i waiting for d special edition.

LOL

hyun bin lover 2 Jan 24 2011 9:09 pm OMG I LOVE THIS STORY

Tim Jan 24 2011 7:41 pm Just finished the drama today! So awesome!! ^^ One question: who is Son Ye Jin (special appearance in ep 20) and why does the Action School director fall in love with her? .... Doesn't Kim Joo Won's sister like him?

ayumi Jan 24 2011 4:42 am hmmm...what to say?? 난 정말 정말 정말 정말 정말 정말 정말이 드라마 좋아!! :)

yaya Jan 22 2011 1:57 am combination of hyun bin and ha ji won is extremely perfect! they should work together again for another drama or secret garden 2 , who knows ;p

Selomith Jan 20 2011 9:25 pm i loved this drama i specially loved hyun bin when he acted like a girl he did such a great job one of my best of 2010 and so far for 2011

elli Jan 20 2011 8:28 pm Waaaaa...great job, great actrees, great actor, you both had good chemistry in some scanes. Damn funny, sad, and romantic. Luv all the ost, and "That Man" Hyun Bin version for me is best. Must Watch Drama !!

Timothy Jan 20 2011 2:10 pm Does anyone knows who name Yoon Seul friends? its appear in episode 11, jacuzzi scene, thank u

sindalola Jan 20 2011 2:49 am I just finished watching this drama! GOSSSHHH! I Loveee It. Kim Joo Won FTW. It was not a typical love story, funny & sad too. Both of them are totally good actors! Good Job ;)

Don Jan 20 2011 2:39 am Witty, cute, REALLY FUNNY, strange, and heartwrenching in certain areas.

One of my favs. <3 NOW GET ME THE SPECIAL EPISODE NOW, DRAMAFEVER!!!

janejoong Jan 19 2011 12:58 am at 1st i was hesitant to watch this drama because of the whole body switching thing seemed tacky and i thought it'd be another "rich guy falls in love with poor girl" kind of drama. But after seeing some reviews and feeling extra bored, i watched the 1st ep, and guess what!? I WAS HOOKED! this is like a once in a century romantic-comedy phenomenon! but prosecutor princess is second! hehe

Oska's biggest fan :P Jan 18 2011 8:48 pm This will go on my list of best drama's i've seen the acting right to the end was awesome (Two Thumbs waaay up XD) writing from: Canada

rayprincess Jan 18 2011 3:34 am hyun bin oppa,, i'm dying loving u,, pleasa don't kill him in the end,, if he does die,, i'll be dying too

GreenLotus Jan 18 2011 3:06 am Good Drama, hyun bin's acting very nice especially when he cries while he wrote the letter

justnobody Jan 17 2011 8:58 pm Really love this drama. Secret Garden rock! The best in 2010/2011. And i hope someone will fix the NOTES section above. Jang Hyuk was the only one who received the offer for the main roles instead of Hyun Bin. Jay Park (i love him <33) was only offered 'Sun' role instead of Jong Suk. The info seems misleading. I am a fan of all the casts including Jay Park, so i don't want people to get the wrong idea by comparing the unnecessary thing. Whoever has the access to this site kindly fix the notes. Thanks. OMG, i'm having SG withdrawal. How can i live without them? oootttookkeeeyyy?? Hyunbin oppa!!

Klaudiotta Jan 16 2011 4:52 pm The final episode is the perfect ending for the story. One of the best drama I've ever seen Thanks ♥ ♥ ♥

Gao Po Po Jan 16 2011 11:58 am This is the only drama that I would love to re-watch it as how much Winter Sonata did to me. I almost think that no more good Korean drama ... No doubt that this is one of the best result of screen writer, director, actor, actress (great jobs and thanks for the effort to bring this beautiful drama to us);- simply enjoy the acting and the screen play ...and it's so cutely creatively truth screen conversation... by the way, some cinema-photographic efforts and the editing did a good job too. It will be a challenge for some other groups to play the same drama under the same scripts though I will love to see it in the future. Good screen scripts to challenge good actors/actresses and the film making team!

fely Jan 15 2011 10:06 pm i love this korean drama it is amazing and hyun bin his very good acting like real and his cute thank you for this drama

momo Jan 15 2011 8:00 am HYUN BIN & HA JI WON JJANG!!!! i just love them together..so sweet~ wish they could be together :) this drama make me addicted to watch it again and again..nothing bored about this drama... hope they can extend the drama and have happy ending :)

hyun bin is mine Jan 10 2011 10:05 pm Hyun bin and ha ji won need to admit that they love each other in real life and get married and have cute little babies~! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

shery Jan 10 2011 7:50 pm if ever this drama will extend please don't make the viewers cry .. i hate it when i see hyun bin's mother yelling at ra im. i want to slap that woman.. just add romantic scene for hyun bin and ji won... i want more of those two

Faerthrienn Jan 07 2011 10:51 pm This show is really interesting. The characters really develop and grow on you as the series progresses as well. Not your typical love story. This is my new favorite show <3

sujudiehardfan Jan 06 2011 7:14 pm i really love this drama.... even without subs i willingly watch this drama just to see ha ji won and hyun bin... perfect couple!!!

jam Jan 06 2011 1:56 pm i love this drama so much.hope the writer will give happy ending.not sad ending please.i love this drama so much.

Na Young Jan 06 2011 2:35 am i hope Ra Im will never leave Joo Won because of this...but i read from one of the website, they discuss about the ending of secret garden.. in the next episode i am not sure maybe epi 18, 19 or 20 (final), Ra Im involve in an accident (because of her carrier as a stunt woman) and Jo Won brought her to a place where its raining, so they can switch body in order to save her…but of course in return, Joo Won had to die….

everyone wish for a happy ending though…its up to the script writer how he/she will end secret garden….but please no sad ending…..please..

jannesa Jan 05 2011 11:53 pm im done watching episode 16...omg~i love the twists of the story..HYUN BIN IS SO HANDSOME!i love him..im so addicted to this kdrama and to any other movies/dramas/KPOP in KOREA...

BC Jan 05 2011 2:41 pm Secret Garden audience from Canada

BC Jan 05 2011 2:40 pm It was not until I start watching this drama that I finally understand why my friends try so hard to warn me about becoming addictive to TV drama. I thought I would have the ability to control myself. Apparently, I over-exterminate myself. I am so addictive to this show that I am willing to lose my sleep so I can be sure that I do not miss any important information about the upcoming episode. I did not know these actors until now. I have to say Hyun Bin is a good actor who looks Extremely good with suit (not an easy thing to do without right body proportion). Anyway, I wish this kind of love will someday be a reality to you all. Happy New Year

evilive Jan 04 2011 4:02 pm !)#$%& aaaaahhhhhhhh it's killing me to wait for the episodes.hyun bin oppa and ji won noona love d the drama. hope for season 2

I HOPE everybody who watch feel happy like me. i thankkkkkkk sbs that make this happy serie.

Rita Dec 16 2010 8:20 am Oh, and what about his atrocious hand made tracksuits? LMAO

Rita Dec 16 2010 8:15 am This is no doubt the best Korean drama I have watched in a long while. It's not only the superb acting - on top I put Ha Ji-Won, she is brilliant; it also has a beautiful photography, the dialogues are so witty and hilarious I would listen to them for hours, the plot is gripping and the chemistry between the main leads truly perfect. Joo-Won's character cracks me up with all his neurosis and quick wit. Yes, this is addicting... dangerously so. (:

Ji-Won Fan Dec 15 2010 11:23 am im so addicted to this drama. Hyun-Bin and Ji-Won acting skill make me speechless. :D their chemistry is really awesome. <3 Ji-Won she is so cool. The scene where hyun-bin is doing sit-up is my favorite :D

preasceto_95 Dec 14 2010 2:44 am i luv this drama! totally lovin it. i agree with what Hana says, this drama should hv more publicity but it's good btw! hyun bin is hot!!

Hykyo Dec 11 2010 8:45 pm I love this movie so much. Hyun Bin is the best Korean actor I think. He is so handsome. I love him to death. Keep up the good work Hyun Bin.

jia Dec 06 2010 9:07 am I love when they had a comversation, both hajiwon unnie and hyun bin oppa are god and excellent. the story is fastest than another drama and I like it more. whenever hyun as naphun namja, he cares about jiwon. and jiwon unnie as always my favorite actrees. hope this drama will be the first. sang hyun ajushi cayo.

Just someone Dec 04 2010 12:15 am While Hyun Bin is doing a really good job acting I think Ha Ji won is doing an EXCELLENT job, especially for when they switch bodies. I'm not sure why Hyun Bin is portraying a girly girl when Kil Ra-Im has such few girly moments. And I'm not sure why it looks like most people are commenting only on him everywhere I go....

Ediil Dec 03 2010 8:58 pm I LOVE THIS DRAMA! First drama I laugh out loud; open to be embarressed by the people around me xD BOARDING ON MY FAVOURITE DRAMA!

nat Dec 02 2010 1:49 am this drama is addictive. can't stop watching

gk Nov 30 2010 8:42 am i've never been interested in so many dramas, yet i'm glued to this one like crazy!

Moon Eun Nov 28 2010 8:43 pm yeap..i totally agree on that this drama totally nice and the song nice to hear as well....:) however, can't wait for the following story after their soul exchange at the end of ep. 5...:p

poison_Girl Nov 27 2010 3:14 pm I Just loved it, absolutely enjoying each episode.Each time I finish a korean drama I think it's the best one, then I get hooked up by the next one, I loved Hyun bin in A millionaire's first love,seems he lost weight in this drama!but still ROCKS!!

sylvia navarro Nov 23 2010 11:32 pm I've watched the first episode and I liked it. I just have to tolerate seeing the other male lead cast because I really didn't like him, they should have casted a more charming actor, is he popular in Korea? Anyway, since Hyun Bin is there I think I can still enjoy watching it.

MJ Nov 21 2010 8:53 pm i love this drama... all the guys are so cute ^^

Hana Nov 19 2010 8:16 am this drama is realy good but i think that it didnt get what it deserve in advertising compared to other korean drama
