Secret Garden


Rating: *****

Genre: Romance
Episodes: 20
Cast: Ha Ji Won, Hyun Bin, Kim Ji Soo, Kim Sa Rang, Lee Philip

"The drama tells the story of Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin), an arrogant and eccentric CEO who maintains the image of seeming perfection, and Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji Won), a poor and humble stuntwoman whose beauty and body are the object of envy amongst top actresses. Their accidental meeting, when Joo Won mistakes Ra Im for actress Park Chae Rin, marks the beginning of a tense, bickering relationship, through which Joo Won tries to hide a growing attraction to Ra Im that both confuses and disturbs him. To complicate matters further, a strange sequence of events results in them swapping bodies."

Funny, sweet, and good production make this drama a big hit. Right from the beginning it hooked me and I could barely pull myself away from my computer screen. Even without knowing much Korean, I would watch the live broadcast and laugh until my sides hurt. Hyun Bin did some of the cutest scenes as Kim Joo Won. KJW may be a bit of an annoying character if he was real, but as a character in a drama, he is really enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this drama.
