The Secret Garden

For the past couple years I've been watching some Korean dramas online and on Netflix. I've picked up several Korean words and phrases along the way and have been introduced to a different style of television show, acting and of course cultural references. You will also find a bit of Korean music in my iTunes library. Along with all of that I have also endured the eye-rolling and comments from the family, particularly Nolan and Jubal. Just like American shows, you have the good, the watchable, and those you never finish. One of my favorites is called Secret Garden.



It's a well written, 20 episode drama that has the perfect mix of comedy, romance and drama with some great plot twists and fabulous characters. It was such a good series that I wanted to watch it again and thought Jim might enjoy it as well. He agreed to watch it with me and for the first few episodes I had to approach him about watching the next episode. One evening, around the third episode Jubal entered the living room randomly while we were watching. He made some kind of snide comment and then stood and watched for the rest of the hour. The next night he was there again. By episode 10 Jim and Jubal were asking ME "Are we watching the next episode tonight?" and the start of the show found Jim firmly ensconced in the bean bag and Jubal sprawled on the couch. Minus Nolan, who is still annoyed by Korean dramas and music, it was a family affair. Even Tell, who can't follow the subtitles, sat through most of the episodes getting the gist of it. They were hooked! Tonight we finished the final two episodes and all were satisfied with the conclusions of the storylines ... If you don't mind subtitles and feel like watching something unique and foreign, then I highly recommend The Secret Garden. You WILL enjoy it.
