The drama tells the story of Kim Joo Won, an arrogant and eccentric CEO who maintains the image of seeming perfection, and Gil Ra Im, a poor and humble stuntwoman whose beauty and body are the object of envy amongst top actresses. Their accidental meeting, when Joo Won mistakes Ra Im for actress Park Chae Rin, marks the beginning of a tense, bickering relationship, through which Joo Won tries to hide a growing attraction to Ra Im that both confuses and disturbs him. To complicate matters further, a strange sequence of events results in them swapping bodies.

  Are all K-Drama Heroines Gold Diggers?

  Many of us have voiced frustration at the way females are portrayed in dramas. Kachiiing takes a look at one way they're portrayed.

  I watched Secret Garden about a year ago.. But sometimes I rewatch and still feel great..
  Honestly, my consideration for watching Secret Garden was the two main characters Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin..
  But after that I found the story was amazing..
  I was hooked and finished this only in 2 days.. until my eyes being swollen at that time..
  It makes me laughed and cried at the same time.. The storyline made me curios to watch this until the end..
  Both Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin plays the role very well.. Especially when their bodies switched.. The chemistry between them looks so real..
  The music also very good.. the placement for the ost at every scene can play our emotion..
  For me, it’s one of the best K-drama.. Love it so much!!! read more

  I don't think I have ever written as much about a show as I have about Secret Garden.
  
  I even managed to regain my composure after the initial excitement, let some time pass and cool down, in order to look at it with a less passionate, more objective stance. The result is, SG remains my all time favourite, a drama I have watched and rewatched and will watch again until the characters and the script will be integral part of my life - perhaps they already are.
  
  
  
  The plot speaks fot itself. There is fun, romance, magic, tragic, twists and literary references. It flows without interruptions, making you laugh like crazy and cry like a baby, at times flooding you like high tide, but it never leaves one dry or unsatisfied: questions are answered, references fulfilled, all spiced up with a little magic.
  
  
  
  The script is unique and brilliant. The funny lines are hilarious, the serious ones thought-provoking. Nothing about this script is either predictable or shallow, making the characters come to life and become realistic in a fantasy world.
  
  
  
  Which inevitably leads me to the acting, which is outstanding. The main leads have to play the part of themeselves, then that of the other, then that of the other playing the part of themselves. Lesser actors would have screwed up, but Ha Ji Won and Hyun Bin both do a fantastic job, providing laughters in heaps and tears in the same amount. And their love story is just as beautiful as their chemistry on screen is sizzling.
  
  The secondary characters are not mere supporters. They are all interesting, complex personalities who adds to the plot and the dynamic wonderfully.
  
  
  
  The music is addicting, even for a K-pop ignorant as myself. Songs and lyrics are never chosen randomly but highlight and define the scenes they soundtrack.
  
  
  
  I can't ask more of a drama. In fact, I doubt I'll find something to fully compensate for the end of this wonderful show.

  They both have amazing storylines and are very beautiful dramas. They are both my favourites of all times! 10 stars each! I recommend both of them highly and you will not regret watching them!

  Who Are You?

  Both are about a rich stuck-up guy who have out of body experiences. The main girls are both poor, have dead parents, and are a bit rough and tough. Both are also VERY excellent dramas! :)
