Secret Garden

Total episodes: 20 + 1 special episode

Kim Joo Won (Hyun Bin) runs a department store which his family owns. He is the whole package of what every girl wants. He's not only wealthy, intelligent, and fashionable, he's also good-looking. The only flaw is that he is arrogant.

He falls for Gil Ra Im (Ha Ji Won) after meeting her for the first time by mistake. Since then, he is crazy over Ra Im and thinks of her frequently.

Though he is said to be fashionable, he frequently wears a shiny blue sweater which is made in Italy (or is it made by an Italian designer? Hmmm, I can't remember, of all I know the sweater is frigging ugly). Ra Im always tease him about it.

Ra Im is a stunt actress who is completely opposite of Joon Won. Ra Im is humble, quiet, yet strong-willed. She hates Joo Won's guts and tries to ignore him as much as she could. Ra Im acts like a guy, mainly because her colleagues at the action school are men. However, the tomboy, surprisingly, is a big fan of Oska, played by Yoon Sang Hyun. She even wears socks that have a tiny picture of Oska on it.

Oska's a celebrity and a womanizer. Both Oska and Joon Won are rivals. It's funny to see the conflict between the two cousins. Ra Im turns timid and shy whenever she's around Oska, which pretty annoys Joon Won.

Supporting actress, Yoon Seul (Kim Sa Rang) is a well-educated CF director. She also comes from a wealthy background. Yoon Seul gets whatever she wants and she seems to be Joon Won's ideal partner. However, Joon Won shows no interest in her. Yoon Seul and Oska were ex-lovers but she intends to keep it as a secret from Joon Won.

Jong Soo (Philip Lee) is Ra Im's boss who treats her as his own "family". He sincerely cares for her and thinks of her feelings first. Aw. Sadly, I am totally not into guys with long hair. Heh.

The first few episodes bores me. It only becomes exciting and hilarious when Joo Won's and Ra Im's souls are exchanged in episode 4 or 5, which everyone long awaits. They definitely make a good couple, don't they? Too bad that Joo Won's snobbish mother comes to their way later on. : /
