The jokes were good they had me chuckling and even laughing @ times. The story was great the acting good, but it fell down along the way. Ok this is it low-HIGH-low-HIGH, they could not maintain the excellent work which i saw @ times. It took me a good while to finish this drama due to the low points (i don`t like skipping scenes). i started this drama and stop @ episode 2 went to watch something else then came back. I watched again till about episode 12-14 and fell asleep, but fought it thru the low points and made it to the end.
All in all i still recommend this drama for its still a very good story so i gave it a 9 and i actually thought of giving it a 10, but the ending was too cliche for me too perfect and i`m one for reality love and not story book ones. i`m sorry mardne n jody i`m not all that excited but i did enjoy this drama thanks for the recommendation.

The best acting was [obviously] Hyun Bin's acting. I must say, at first I was taken away by Ga In's acting-- until I saw King to Heart. Hyun Bin is one of those actors that performs with such a presence, that forces his co-lead to respond so effectively. Overall, I Hyun Bin's acting was what made Ji won's acting good. I guess Im saying that Hyun Bin's acting was more diverse, compared to Ji won's. I mean her char. was mighty cool, trust me.. who doesnt want a kick ass pretty girl? You read this in manga, but how often do we really get to see it in live-action? I mean when you think about it, He had the more difficult part... at times I was cracking up how girly-feminine he could sound.

Well, Secret Garden was the very first drama I've watched properly and I'm sort of nostalgic-biased towards it so I'm gonna try to be as objective as I can.
The story isn't something that new or epic, there are moments where you feel like they're being rehashed over and over again but what make the series truly memorable is :
a) the music. We all know that a good OST and a good music score can propel a series from good to great and this is exactly the case for SG, and even some more.
Every single piece of music on the series, from the iconic "That Woman", to the piano BGM pieces are absolutely fantastic. It's just a marvelous OST, simple as that.
b) HJW & HB's acting on their switch personalities mode.
c) Oska.
So yeah, SG might be deemed overrated by some and, they might have a point in the sense that the series didn't bring something water mouthing on the table to warrant all the hype and the ratings, but it's still a good series- with great acting, superb music and a few touching moments that will definitely stay with you.

Eu realmente não imaginava que ia amar tanto ele. No início eu não tava gostando, tanto por ser um dorama antigo (os relacionamentos e certas situações mudaram muito de 2011 pra cá) quanto por parecer ser só mais uma história clichê, de romance entre rico e pobre. Mas a medida que o dorama foi se desenvolvendo eu percebi que ele era muito mais do que isso e entendi porque ele é um clássico e é tão amado.
Eu gostei de muitas coisas nesse dorama. A primeira é o casal, eles tem muita química, a relação deles é muito divertida e tão bonita, eles foram feitos um para o outro e provam que o amor vence tudo, porque olha, tantas coisas aconteceram com eles e ao invés de se separarem eles se uniram ainda mais.
A história em si é bem interessante e nem um pouco previsível. Também é muito engraçada, eu ri muito na maioria das cenas, também tem muitos momentos constrangedores, onde eu queria cavar um buraco e entrar dentro.
Eu também gostei bastante da relação da Ra Im com o Oska, eles são uma graça juntos, e eu como kpopper adorei eles terem mostrado uma relação tão legal assim de um idol com uma fã.
Os casais secundários também são ótimos, tem um casal com uma história bem conturbada mas que ainda merece uma segunda chance, e outro é super fofo.
E assim, o elenco é excelente. A atuação dos protas é impecável, eles conseguiram fazer muito bem dois papeis ao mesmo tempo, e a gente sabe sempre quem é quem, mesmo sem eles falarem. E especialmente o Hyun Bin tá maravilhoso nesse dorama, ele exala charme e é tão magnético, não tem como não se apaixonar por ele. Eu também adorei ver a Yoon In Na e o Lee Jong Suk mais novinhos, e já mostrando que são ótimos atores.
E por último, não tem como eu deixar de falar da OST. Que OST! Eu tinha esquecido como a OSTs dos doramas mais antigos eram tão boas, e a de Secret Garden é perfeita.
Eu super recomendo Secret Garden, vale muito a pena assistir e se apaixonar!

I didn't like the female lead. She was a bit irritating.
I have kept it on hold for a while as I could not connect with the characters.
Other than the female lead everyone else was good. maybe I'll continue it some other time or maybe just drop it.
At first it really was good and I was really into it but after a certain point I found it pointless.
Overall I give it a 6/7.No offence but I don't think it deserves more than that.

i enjoyed it
some parts had me on the edge of my seat
i like the twists in it
i never could figure out when they would switch bodies
the end threw me for a loop (i didn't know what he was doing)
classic kdrama
poor girl rich boy body switching the plot was refreshing 10
the acting was okay there were scenes that could have been done better (the heroine's body language didn't fit her the scene) but that could've been the writer's fault (if she so fit and a stunt woman she should be able to fight well)
the music i got tired of hearing
rewatch just got a 7 cause i watched king 2 hearts 10 times where as I watched this one 5
overall i'll give it a 8 and a half (since there is no 8 and a half we'll round up)
still this drama has more good than bad give it a try

Poor Main male Character - Strong Female Character - Better Side Characters
Missing Reviewto be quite honest this is not a perfect show at all. First of all, our main character is crappy person. He mistreats our main protagonist constantly. What are you teaching here? Are you teaching that being rude and arrogant are good traits and one should live by those and the woman of your dreams will fall? Completly crap main character. Now she is a strong female lead but cries. This ishow you make a good non-woke female protagonist. You don't have to put her saying bad stuff about men, or "I'm better than you". It's just this.
And Seul, another great girl. But the main growth and character was Oska. I have no doubt about it. He was a crappy person, but learned. He treated his cousin it seems disdain but always looking out for him. He is a pop idol but in the last episode critizies the pop industry - which should include series... Go to the internet, check any show. Almost 100% of all actors in Korea (or idol) are single or never release information about their love life. Most people under 40 finally start having a romantic life. The actors and kpop artists have some high standards that they stop having lives. My opinion.
Not the best show, at all. Go watch Crash Landing on You. BUT he is the other type of character - typical. Too good.
Korea dramas are like Telenovelas from Portugal, same tropes over and over, and half the story could be cut. :)

It’s overrated
If you’ve watched The Glory or Goblin or Descendants of the Sun then you should know that Kim Eun Sook, the screenwriter, is one of the top in the drama industry as her dramas consistently garner high ratings. However, Secret Garden is a decade old therefore it’s understandable that it followed the same format as other popular dramas of that period. Dramas like Boys Over Flowers, The Heirs, and a handful of other which were premised on toxic masculinity and docile women.Similarly, the production values were mediocre with terrible color saturation and cinematography. I kept at it due to the many fawning reviews on MDL but it got to a point where I just couldn’t bear seeing the ML consistently berating the FL or a FL who had zero self-respect. I wish someone would remake this because there is something unique about a FL who’s a stuntwoman and I would like to see that aspect explored more thoroughly.
Anyway, it’s watchable if you don’t mind the above-mentioned details.
