Secret Garden, one of Korea’s hit television series of 2010, will be hitting the Philippine airwaves soon.

Secret Garden stars Hyun Bin who plays Owen (Kim Joo Won), a Department store CEO suffering from minor depression, and Ha Ji Won who plays Jamie (Gil Ra Im), a strong-willed stunt woman who lives with her friend after the death of her father who was a fireman.

Destined to eventually meet, Owen and Jamie stumbles upon a secret garden in Jeju Island and meets an old woman who gives them a magical alcoholic concoction. This potion enables them to switch bodies but for what purpose? The audience must keep watching to find out. The supporting casts also include Yoon Sang Hyun as Oska, Owen’s cousin and Kim Sa Rang as Yoon Seul, Oska’s ex-girlfriend. Lee Philip (The Legend) plays Director Im Jong Soo while Yoo In Na is Im Ah Young, Jamie’s best friend.

Hyun Bin became a household name in the Philippines because of his role as Cyrus (Hyun Jin Hun) in My Name is Kim Sam Soon which enjoyed an immense popularity locally. Ha Ji Won, on the other hand, was also a familiar face after her drama Hwang Jini was aired by GMA7 in the evening time slot more than three years ago.

Secret Garden will start airing on May 2 at Kapuso Network GMA7. It will replace another hit Korean drama, the Baker King, which will end within 2 weeks.
