"Is this the best you can do? Are you sure?" Well, Secret Garden was the very first drama I've watched properly and I'm sort of nostalgic-biased towards it so I'm gonna try to be as objective as I can. The story isn't something that new or epic, there are moments where you feel like they're being rehashed over and over again but what make the series truly memorable is : a) the music. We all know that a good OST and a good music score can propel a series from good to great and this is exactly the case for SG, and even some more. Every single piece of music on the series, from the iconic "That Woman", to the piano BGM pieces are absolutely fantastic. It's just a marvelous OST, simple as that. b) HJW & HB's acting on their switch personalities mode. c) Oska. So yeah, SG might be deemed overrated by some and, they might have a point in the sense that the series didn't bring something water mouthing on the table to warrant all the hype and the ratings, but it's still a good series- with great acting, superb music and a few touching moments that will definitely stay with you.
