Secret Garden

    ‘Secret Garden’ is the hottest TV show in Korea these days. It is broadcasted on every Saturdays and Sundays. It consists of 20 episodes. By the last weekend, 6 episodes were broadcasted. The genre of this drama is romantic comedy. The actor of the main male character is Hyeonbin, one of my favorite actors, and the actress of the main female character is Jiwon Ha who is also one of my favorite actresses. At first, this show seemed just one of the traditional Cinderella stories: A rich handsome guy loves a poor but strong girl. However, it was different from my expectation. Surprisingly, the bodies of the main man character and the main woman character changed last weekend.

    Looking into the outline of the TV show, the main male character whose name is ‘Juwon’ is an owner of a department store. He is young but he is very rich because his grandfather is a conglomerate. He is intelligent and has nice looking. Only one but big flaw he has is that he is somewhat rude to other people. But this perfect guy Juwon falls in love with a ‘Laim’, a stunt woman, in the way of helping his cousin ‘Oska’ who is famous Korean Singer in this show. Juwon went sweet hearting but Laim ignored him because his attitude is quite strange and rude. Juwon got hurt by her attitude toward him so that he tried to affront her like a child although he loves her. As time goes by, she opens her mind to him gradually because she felt his true mind among his arrogant and childish attitude. However, they bicker continuously, because they couldn’t understand each other fully because they are so  different in characteristics, circumstances, and mindsets. When, they piled up misunderstandings against each other, their body changed by a strange alcoholic drink they drank. It was magical.

    The event which occurs after the two bodies of Juwon and Lime changed was very funny. Their strange behavior made others puzzled. I expect that the writer wrote this story to show the process of how man and woman understand each other. Now, Juwon and Laim will get to know about each other’s circumstances and minds gradually. I am expecting it for this weekend. Also, there are many comical factors and parodies in this TV show which make this show more interesting. And the acting of the actors and actresses is very good. Also both the story and direction is great. I want to make dramas as interesting as this one if I become a director of TV show. Anyway, I hope this weekend coming fast.
