At last, I found the time to watch the most popular drama that ended a few weeks ago at Korea from SBS, the Secret Garden. I've read many articles about the drama and all were positive. Many fans of Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won were satisfied over the pairing of the two actors in the said drama. Of course, I was curious, but had to restrain myself from peaking or watching it because I was then watching another K-drama and I want to finish it first so that I can totally enjoy the next drama.
Admittedly, I was a fan of both Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo. I am also one of those who wish that they are still a couple despite the few negative rumours surfacing recently.
Anyway, back to Secret Garden...I started episode 1 last night to episode 3 and, yes, it started good. Ha Ji Won looks pretty in her short hair and she looks great in her black outfit as a stunt woman, she reminded me of my favourite hollywood actress Angelina Jolie.
While Hyun Bin on the other hand looks gorgeous (always) and I like his character. A man who is kinda weak, in terms of action. Maybe it was because he was raised in a rich family where finesse is a must. He doesn't have a rough character who boast on being tough which is exactly the opposite of Ha Ji Won who lives a poor life and must struggle to be a stunt woman in order to live.
It was like "the rich-president of a multi company-meets-a- tough-penniless-lady". Some scenes are hilarious I find myself laughing.
Yes, there was a chemistry between the two actors. They look good together on screen.
Definitely, I will enjoy watching the rest of the episodes.

Plot
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 Kil Ra-Lim (Ha Ji-Won) for Park Chae-Rin and takes stunt woman Ra-Lim 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-Lim out of his mind for Ra-Lim does not own a high status life nor is even rich. Nevertheless, Joo-Won can't stop thinking about Ra-Lim.
Later, Joo-Won sneaks into an action school to watch Ra-Lim. Meanwhile, Ra-Lim tries her best to ignore Joo-Won because she knew Joo-Wan belongs to another higher social level compared to her. Nevertheless, Ra-Lim 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 Jo-Wan made it clear that he doesn't have interest in her, Yeun-Sul keep pursuing Joo-Won. Yeun-Sul knows Joo-Wan is Oska's cousins and wants to use Joo-Wan to get under Oska's skin. Yeun-Sul then manages to become the director for Oska's next music video. The video shoot takes place on Jeju Island.
Meanwhile, stunt woman Ra-Lim is a fan of Oska's music and wins a contest to go to Jeju Island with Oska himself. Ra-Lim also wanted to take part in Oska's music video. Joo-Won learns that Ra-Lim 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-Lim somehow gets separated from Joo-Won and Oska. Joo-oan searched frantically over Ra-Lim's disappearance and went searching for her. Eventually, Joo-Won was able to save Ra-Lim but ended up stranded in a mysterious place called 'Secret Garden'. Mysteriously, the owner of 'Secret Garden' seems to know Joo-Won and Ra-Lim very well. The owner presented two bottles of alcohol to Joo-Wan and Ra-Lim. They manage to get their way back to the hotel before night and went their separate ways. At night, Joo-Won and Ra-Lim face sleeping difficulties and took this time to clear their minds while having sips of their gifted alcohol individually. And a twist of intrigue took place in the plot when both Ra-Lim and Joo-Won switched souls!
