i’ve already watched secret garden for sixth times
but i still cried when i saw the 17th and 18th episode :/ oh my, i really miss Gil Ra Im and Kim Joo Won

LOVE THIS DRAMA!

i am amazed on how they interact to each other.
i like the way they act the simple scene yet it brought a thousand smiles unto the viewers.
i am not into Korean Series yet when i saw this one, i’ve been addicted to it.
i have seen this “Secret Garden” couple of times and i never get tired of watching it again and again.
i hope that they can be in real life (Hyun Bin) and Ha Ji Won.
A perfect match.

Why did they use the actress Ha ji Won. She is not even pretty. She is very masculine as it is. That is the only thing I do not like in this drama. Oh yes, and Hyun Bin looks too skinny.

Hello I wonder if you can help a fellow fan: I usually buy my stuff from YesAsia, which carries the same titles in different countries versions. Taking Secret Garden as example, the Korean version used to cost 67 euros while now the Singapore version is only 37. Since they both have English subs I wonder: is the Singapore version edited differently? Do they maybe cut political or sexual references? Thanks a million, Francesco

@Francesco-2512,
I didn’t see your post earlier. Here is my answer, but don’t know if you’ll come back to check:
I think the diff in price reflects the diff in what the copyright is sold for in each region, rather than editing quality. I haven’t sat down to compare 2 versions, but doubt that there’ll be significant diff.

I’ve never been in love, I don’t know how it feels like to be in love, and so I don’t know why and I may be wrong, but when I re-watched the first episode, in the very beginning I spontaneously thought “hmm, this is what love must feel like.” Call me cheesy but it’s a true story
December 1st, 2012 at 6:24 am
Secret Garden is my first korean drama, I re-watched and every time my heart gets so happy . I’m your # 1 cuban fan. loved,loved. Arriba!
