Secret Garden - Money, Love, and Tracksuit

Secret garden (시크릿 가든, Sikeurit Gadeun), is not a manga! XD I'm having too much korean drama this weekend, no world of shonen for now ^^;; I haven't seen korean drama since ......... a long time I guess. Well this one is worth the time and hunger (stuck on the chair). Let me tell you why :)



Secret garden is a story about a really filthy rich society leader (automatically handsome) guy Kim Joo Won, who can make stock market fall down if he had an accident, fell in love to a short leg middle class (also automatically pretty) stunt woman Gil Ra Im with scars all over the body (which suddenly beautifully disappear at the middle of the series). Kim Joo Won is soooo insanely rich always get what he wants is puzzled as why he become attracted to Gil Ra Im, woman who has no exceptional education, no reputable household and why she is so hard to get when other girls he met submitted to him in no time, and even more dumb founded seeing a new reality check of Ra Im is a poor and alienated neighbor lives in small rented flat with her gorgeous friend Im Ah Young who works in the dept store instead of becoming a model (so pretty!). Sounds standard to you? Added with few twists of soul switches between their bodies, courtesy of the twisted ghost of fire fighter father (Gil Ra Im father, ooh I knew it from Jeju island already! XD). Now we know liqour not only bad for your kidney, but also for your soul hehe XD

The soul switches between Gil Ra Im and Kim Joo Won which makes this drama interesting and funny. President of LOEL department store Kim Joo Won had to live in the small flat (but with Ah Young, lucky bastard XD) and work at action school. While the lavender flavor action girl Gil Ra Im had to handle meetings of director and sign big money projects. At this stage they must learn to understand how to be in their partner's shoes and each other circumstances. As in any relationship between lovers, understanding each other is a big big test. This movie sends a message, that your partner has actually done for you more than you think you know or have seen, so be considerate. The ultimate switch when Kim Joo Won decided to switch bodies and sacrifice himself to bring Gil Ra Im back to life is teh love! Impossible to withstand tears from falling down.

The ultimate moment

This drama has lotta love besides couple's love, but mother's love is definitely not one of them. What's wrong with these rich mothers? Older Brother's love (not BL >,<) from Oska who silently cares his younger cousin Joo Won, fans-entertainer love (during Oska's gloomy autograph signing session in the middle of plagiarism scandal, fans cheering and Oska responded as how entertainer should be is touching), Oska's Cinta lama bersemi kembali (a.k.a Long Love Blossomed Again, courtesy of google translator XD). Hmm, Kok Oska semua?? All these love ammunitions is enough to make me sit still for 12 hours without eating. Now who said love can't feed hunger? XD Good job to the movie writers! Oh almost forgot one more love. Forbidden love for hand-sewn glitter glitter tracksuit, hahhaha XD

In the end it's all happy ending to the couples, and Oska get his 7.1 album concert, OPPPAAAAA!! XDD With that irresistible charming, Oska must be a libran he he :p The ending with flashback when Ra Im's father funeral is kinda awkward for me. I haven't seen the special episode, gotta find it :D

This blog should switch back to world of Shonen again next week when it rains ^^; Sekarang mari kita sama-sama mengucapkan: Kamsahamnida, sarang hae XDD
