Good Asian Dramas

When I was in my engineering college, one year all of a sudden people started talking about some south Korean drama that got them hooked. I was curious and procured a copy from a friend. That was my first K-drama. Yeah you guessed it right. The famous ' boys over the flower '. I bet for majority of us it is a gateway to the world of Asian dramas. Everything was so exotic in that -the people, their language, their names,customs, everything!  It was a novelty. We don't get to see much teen dramas in Indian television. So that was it. I made some of my friends watch BOF, they also liked it. Basically it is a story of four rich dudes who study in a school for elites. (I don't know in India, if we have such school. In movies we do-Remember Student of the year ??) So these dudes like to bully other students. Their group also has name. F4- where F stands for 'flower'.

Rich man and poor woman is one of the most sought after themes in Asian dramas. Secret Garden is 2010's Korean drama which blends this theme with hint of fantasy element.  Let me make a small checklist Rich Chaelbol. ...................✅ Poor female lead ...............✅ Past trauma.. ....................✅ Fantasy element. ...............✅ Throwing water on face..........✅ Okay you now got the drift. So these are almost all the founding pillars of typical Kdrama. After watching  'Crash landing on you'   made me think of hit 2010 drama also starring Hyun Bin.The name secret garden is quite misleading and does not really give any hint of what is there for store. I agree that there might be some secret but where is the garden? I was damn confused at that time. Kim Joo won (Hyun Bin) is CEO of departmental store. He is definition of how lazy, chauvinist a person can be!   KJW comes to work only once in a week and rest of the time he spends in really beautiful house.
