Current Addiction: Secret Garden
Anyway, back to the show. Secret Garden is pretty much your usual Korean drama - dashing rich perfect male lead and your poor righteous pretty female lead. Guy meets girl, guy falls in love with her. Him being rich and all, never understood poverty and in his bids to make her life better, it just made it seemed like he looks down on her. You know the usual.
It has however, a little bit of twist to the storyline. After each consumed a bottle of flower wine purchased from a weird lady who resides in a dingy restaurant in the middle of nowhere called Secret/Mystery Garden - their souls would swap every time there's a rainstorm. And that's when the fun begins. Another plus point would be the female lead is not your usual frail princessy "I need to be rescuedddddd!" girly girl. In the show, she's a stunt woman who has quite a bit of a feisty temper and tolerates no nonsense when it came to her career and her dignity.
I admit I was a little turned off by the storyline when it first aired in 2010 and hence was not caught in the entire Secret Garden storm back then. 9 episodes on now in 2012 and I can safely say, I totally understood why it had the highest viewership that year. The plot is amazingly seamless, and the lines are so so classic. Although the main storyline is predictable (meaning I presume it's going to be a happy ending), the scriptwriters still manage to throw in some surprises every episode ;)
Most importantly, come on, who can resist Hyun Bin, especially when he's in a 3-piece suit ;-)
The OST is beautiful as well. My favourite thus far has to be the one sang by Hyun Bin - "That Man". I remember hearing it a few years back and never knew who sang it and what it meant. Man, the lyrics are soooooooo good.
Okay time to go to bed :) Super long day tomorrow! Good night world :) xoxo
