Secret Garden's Review

Forget about any nuclear or biological weapons you’ve seen in 2010.  Instead, meet the potent and lethal weapon of mass destruction in 2011: Secret Garden, a highly deserved popular Korean romantic comedy drama.  It strategically infects fans with a pandemic flu of lovesickness for Hyun Bin.  Mission not impossible.  No amount of modern vaccination can fully provide inoculation.  Like many other infatuated fans of Secret Garden, I'm no exception to immunity.

The first episode of Secret Garden swiftly spreaded the love flu at first sight.  I caught the fanatic fever of love craziness for Hyun Bin.  Even though I've already loved him in “My name is Kim Sam Soon,” I love him even more in Secret Garden.  No actor could flawlessly embody the flawed and arrogant Kim Joo Won as well as Hyun Bin.  His compelling acting skills capture my heart in every nano second of every episode.  Furthermore, Hyun Bin’s cute dimples, playful side-swept bangs, and irresistible smile are his not-so-secret weapons to create a global explosion of love madness.

Secret Garden exceptionally exceeds my expectations.  It distinctively depicts the love story as The Little Mermaid, in which one gives up something in order to be with a loved one.  For example, Gil Ra Im meets and falls in love with Kim Joo Won through the loss of her dad.
Some fans view the loveable drama as a wild roller coaster as it puts them through laughter, heartache, and back to joy.  However, as a food aficionada, I see Secret Garden as a can’t-go-wrong combination pizza.  It successfully incorporates a precise quantity of comedy, fantasy, and melodrama.  Like a pizza crust, the heart-felt romance between Kim Joo Won & Gil Ra Im is the foundation of any classic romantic drama, in which an upper classman falls in love with a working class woman through fate.  The complexities of the story & characters represent the different layers of pizza toppings.  Every character brings a different flavor to the story while complementing each other. The strong chemistry among the actors is like pizza melting cheese, the force that holds the drama together.  The supernatural element of body/soul switching is like the sizzling special pizza sauce.  I would love to switch my body with Kim Joo Won's and live in his impeccable wardrobe and super organized closet.   
A way to a woman’s heart is through her stomach.  Therefore, Secret Garden is a delicious treat to both my stomach and heart.  No words could further express my love for Secret Garden because it profoundly touches my heart.  Although it ended on Sunday, my lovesickness for Hyun Bin shall remain incurable.
