Every time I watch a show from Korea, I am never disappointed. This one is no different. An emotional roller coaster show with fantastic characters, beautiful cinematography and amazing soundtrack. You will fall in love with the show and its characters. The script is well written and the actors and actresses have such chemistry.

You will find yourself laughing, crying, smiling and being angry right along with them.

A word of caution though. You will find yourself wanting to start the next episode once you reach the end of the one you are watching because it is that good and addicting. I was sad that I got to the last episode and it ended. So, I started watching from the first episode again. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Secret Garden is delightful with two of Korea's best actors and two of the best writers and directors. It hits all major points in KDrama romance and fantasy but also carries a strong theme about the power of unconditional love. My only quibble is the evil mother figure that becomes a staple in Korean drama. Really tired of it. But everything else I love and have watched the series over through the years-which I never do with American series. Nine years later, I still don't think Hyun Bin has matched that performance. Strongly recommended. [Correction: in 2020, he matches it in "Crash Landing"]

It was the right cheek dimple on Joo Won that got me hooked. The storyline is good, the expensive tracksuit fashion was bad by anyone's standard, but i guess that's the comedy of it :) The plot is a good one and the tale of two rich guys fall for and fight over a poor girl story is what it is and nothing more. I dislike how these stories have a "boy is abusive to girl until she likes him" tone (and there are some questionable stalking and physical scenes that could put you on the trail to jail in Australia), but it overcame them surprisingly well and the right cheek dimple undid quite a bit of my unease.

I liked it overall, and it's worth watching.

I am so happy to come across this show. I was so bored of sex, violence and drama and then, I found Secret Garden.

This show gives you love in its purest form as possible. When I watch it, I can feel butterflies flying in my stomach one minute , then the tears roll down on my cheeks and a broad smile occupy my face at the end of each show. Characters are well put, funny and deep. You can feel and understand what they are going through. Story line is enhanced with side stories and never boring. The cinematography is breath taking, like most of far eastern movies the scenery brings forth the emotions.

To sum up, please give this show a try, I am sure you ll be hooked :)

I'm from the UK so didn't get to see this on Netflix until last year but having enjoyed watching I've just watched again. Love the action and humour between the characters and also the opportunity of viewing Korean culture and scenery. The only criticism I have now watching it the second time around is for me, a bit of chemistry lacking between male and female leads, otherwise, very well acted
