![]() She also drops in a number of pop-culture references, some of which involve the stars of her own previous dramas, which are fun to spot. Secret Garden is full of her trademark super-speed banter, but this time I was swept up in the zippiness because the characters are so engaging. Despite the creds, I was cautious of writer Kim Eun-sook, because I have found her writing a little too glib and soulless for my liking in the past. In addition to A-list leads Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won, who are great, the drama is produced by a “hitmaker” team, the duo behind City Hall, On Air, Lovers in Paris, and Lovers in Prague. So it was with relief that I found the first episode light and funny, with a bustling pace and solid comic acting from the cast. I’d been wary of getting excited about Secret Garden, because it’s so easy for hyped dramas to let you down, even when you love the cast. 189 November 13, 2010JanuSecret Garden: Episode 1 by javabeans
