"Secret Garden" review

Synopsis:

"Secret Garden", is a modern version of the Cinderella story with a hint of magic. The story begins with a wealthy young man who finds himself falling in love with a poor stunt woman. But things get complicated when their souls inexplicably switch bodies!

My thoughts:

"Secret Garden", has a blend of comedy, action, romance and drama, which is what attracted me to it and found myself really enjoying and appreciating the characters, the satire, the love/hate relationships and the story plot, even though the story was a bit on the predictable side.

The characterization is this k-drama's strongest point, followed by a solid but not perfect story line. This drama is best described as "realistic" and "balanced". I say "realistic" because, the actors did a superb job portraying their characters, no matter how things turned out in the story, it was completely believable.

There is a powerful sub-plot revolving around Gil Ra Im's dad which makes for a big impact towards the end. All-in-all, "Secret Garden" is a quirky, yet true-to-life romance dramedy that both enjoyable and worth watching.
