Summary:

Then there is Kil Ra-Im, a poor and hard working young woman aspiring to be a great stunt woman in the film industry. Through some weird understanding, the two met Kim Joo-Won fell in love with Kil Ra-Im who wants nothing to do with him. Little did the two know that their faith had been set long before their meeting and that they were meant for each other.

Review:

At first I thought "Secret Garden was just going to be some cheesy love story where the rich guy fell in love with the poor girl and they'll eventually conquer all and live happily ever after. Wrong! Although the main plot is based upon that cheesy love story, the writers added many elements that would give the story a new twist.

First of all, there are supernatural factors involved. I would tell you more about this but it would spoil the story. But trust me! It made the story very interesting. Second, the writers did an amazing job with the creation of many colorful and interesting characters. As in most cases of rich spoiled characters, they are ignorant and arrogant. However, Kim Joo-Won's ignorance and stubbornness was waaaay out of my expected range lol. Even I was was surprised at how serious his prince complex was!

Overall, This series did a very good job in taking a clique plotline and making it more interesting. It was able to keep me guessing and stick to the series. Noe to mention the series also had a very beautiful soundtrack! I totally reccomand it!

That Woman- Baek Ji Young
