Secret Garden to be made into manhwa and novel
by | December 18, 2010 | 60 Comments
Can’t get enough of the wacky romantic comedy Secret Garden? Thanks to the popularity of the drama series, the story will be adapted for several additional formats: a novel, a photo comic book, and a soonjung manhwa (aka shojo manga, or romance-themed comic book). The novel will be written by a new writer, Kang Yi-eul,... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 10
by | December 13, 2010 | 310 Comments
Apparently everyone woke up on the right side of the bed this episode, because every eligible bachelor in town starts lining up at Ra-im’s door, and fighting each other like the ten-year olds that they are. Oska wins for Best Smile, Jong-soo wins for Most Embarrassed, and Joo-won wins for Sparkliest Boxers. Yup. You heard... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 9
by | December 11, 2010 | 214 Comments
With our leads back to “normal,” Episode 9 turns back to the romantic developments and dials down the wacky, which I suppose is necessary though I’ll admit to missing the zany physical comedy of the past few episodes, because some of those body-switch bits were truly hysterical. True, they were sometimes played more for the... More »

by | December 10, 2010 | 116 Comments
Ha Ji-won finds herself back in Joseon-era costume for the upcoming episode of her current rom-com series Secret Garden, which airs this weekend. Ha is pictured above holding a script titled “Are You In Pain? So Am I,” which I presume is the new movie production that Ra-im, her stuntwoman character, finds herself working on.... More »

It’s December, and you know what that means around these parts: Time to reflect on the past year and see how the dramas stacked up! And boy, were there a lot of them. As in previous years, I am planning a multi-part series (with special guest bloggers, natch!) to wrap up the year, which we’re... More »

Secret Garden writer not thrilled about rampant plot speculation
by | December 8, 2010 | 171 Comments
The popularity of SBS’s Secret Garden has the internet abuzz with speculations and spoilers about future episodes, such as the nature of the body-switch, the motives of Ra-im’s dead father, and the possibility of the dreaded Cancer making an appearance in the storyline. And while speculation is to be expected with hit shows, it has... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 8
by | December 6, 2010 | 273 Comments
We’ve got kissing, handholding, bed-hopping, and towel-dropping, and that’s all in the first half hour. Our body-swapped souls get entangled in each other’s affairs, further complicated by the heartbreak rivalry going on between Oska and Seul. It’s funny that both cousins are fighting, but neither is fighting for the same girl…except for purposes of maximum... More »

Secret Garden: Episode 7
by | December 4, 2010 | 181 Comments
If Episode 6 was a fantastically zany, nonstop hour of insane body-swap antics, then Episode 7 is a dash of that mixed with more of an emotional element. Always welcome, in my book. Also: If the naming gets confusing, just remember: The name that it sounds like (Ra-Him = Ra-im) is the name of the... More »

Omo, omo! Awesomely awesome Secret Garden spoiler
by | December 1, 2010 | 225 Comments
OMG. If you don’t want to be spoiled, don’t click, since this is a photo spoiler. You are warned. I had thought the last stills for Secret Garden (depicting Hyun Bin’s character in Ha Ji-won’s body) were plenty hilarious, but this one REALLY takes the cake. Tags: Secret Garden... More »

Behold, the tracksuit that would not die
by | November 30, 2010 | 170 Comments
[NOT REALLY SPOILERY BUT...] Oh, this just cracks me up. So. Hard. Secret Garden watchers will be familiar with Hyun Bin’s obsession (or rather, Joo-won’s) with his expensive, hand-stitched, sequined Italian tracksuit, which everyone else mocks as tacky and unfashionable. Despite the fact that Joo-won has been the butt of many jokes as a result... More »
