I liked this but it's flawed in how it progresses the story, in that it doesn't really do that. Things happen to keep things moving but they don't really change anything to an extent. Any story growth is artifical. The body swapping story is actually really hilarious and the actors involve do a superb job at conveying the comedic elements of it. Although Han Ji-Won does a much better job at matching Hyun-Bin's Joo-won than Hyun-Bin does her character, Ra-Im. Hyun-Bin opts for a generic girl rather than what her character actually is but it's amusing all the same. However, the problem lies, just as it does in all other body swapping shows, they end it far too early and they return to it once too many and I just stop caring. Yoon Sang-Hyun's Oska was a treat to watch but his plot wasn't interesting and Kim Sa-rang didn't hold up her performance. She was flat the whole time.

Hyun-Bin's characters tend to be complete pricks, which he is good at doing (so good that he's mostly type casted as one when he has range) and his character is defitely toxic but I totally get his plight. He is unsure of his true feelings and it would be reckless of him to throw away his career and very being to be with a women that he has a connection with but doesn't fully love, yet. His hesitation and confliction was one of the strongest aspects of Secret Garden for me.

Also one of my favourite scenes is the scene where Im Ah-young (Yoo In-Na) brings her "best friend" to a dinner date set up by Joo-Wan, only for it not to be Ra-Im but someone who we've barely being introduced. Hyun-Bin's reactions are genuinely one of the most funniest things I've seen from a Korean TV Series.

Comedy is on point. The characters are all good but the story lets it down in the end.
