Secret Garden seems to be one of those dramas that people either love and can't stop raving about, or hate and wonder why all the fuss. I'm in the former camp. I loved it, I felt that their acting as they fought their attraction for each other was convincing. I remember reading To Kill A Mockingbird by Nelle Harper Lee when I was younger and it reminds me of a passage from the book: ...You never really know a man until you understand things from his point of view, until you climb into his skin and walk around in it....; The lead characters' unique circumstances and common bond allowed their feelings for one another to blossom from initial distain to attraction to love, through empathy. It makes for a good gateway drama as I usually introduce it to unsuspecting friends to get them to hooked on kdramas. :-) As for re-watch value, I've seen Secret Garden many times over and I've enjoyed it each time. It's one of my favorites dramas and as an added bonus the OST is fantastic!
