Secret Garden gets a special broadcast

Secret Garden ends its 20-episode run this weekend, but it’ll have another week on the broadcast schedule, as it has announced a special to air the following week.

It’ll be a standard special, with a highlight reel, behind-the-scenes tidbits, and NG clips, and has a 70-minute running time. As the cast is still busily shooting the finale (eep), it’s not yet known which of the actors will be available to participate, but I suspect that if the main actors aren’t present there’ll be a fan uproar; Secret Garden isn’t Secret Garden without Hyun Bin. (I’d go so far as to say the drama would’ve tired a lot sooner without him.)

This appears to be a way to pad out the schedule with the Asia Cup taking place that weekend. The special broadcast is currently scheduled to air on Saturday, January 22, but should the Korean team win the group stage and advance to the quarterfinals, they’ll play that night and the Secret Garden broadcast will be pushed to Sunday.

The drama to follow, New Gisaeng Story, was originally scheduled to premiere on the 22nd. However, it is now scheduled to air its first two episodes on the 23rd, unless an Asia Cup win pushes that to the following week.

because although watching dramas is a great pleasure, however it is not adding to my life or the lives of other people around me anything so it's a big waste of time especially when it turns into addiction. I'd rather get this pleasure from spending more quality time with my family and friends. it's just my opinion ^^ so no more dramas for me but i'm happy to make this decision :) and I am happy to end it with Secret Garden's specials :D

haha, running away from dramas before it's too late? Well, this will be my last until spring break or probably summer. School just started and let's just say that boy am I glad Secret Garden's ending this weekend, or else it would've made quite a dent in my school grades.

AND YAYY!!!!! This should make the withdrawal easier to deal with right? All Gardeners rejoice!

i agree!!! but ive tried giving up dramas dozens of times already but failed each time... so good luck!!!

stay strong~~~ and resist drama temptations hehe

0

@carshii I think it'll be easier for me since it hasn't been long when I started watching k-dramas and usually once I make a decision I stick to it tell the end ^^

0

I'd suggest we start a kdrama recovery support group, but lets face it - we'd all just start talking about more dramas! Lol.
@Nana - you picked a great one to end on! Have fun with fam and friends:)

0

HI Nana,
I think you are right. It does get addicting. I've been trying to detox from K dramas as well. but it's so hard !!!! I actually never ever watched K dramas until I gave birth to my firstborn and I was stuck at home with my mother who brought over those darn video tapes.... it was the beginning of the end.
But good for you.

SG is the last one for me too mainly for the same reasons plus focusing on job hunting.

0

This is a good discussion, it makes me feel maybe I should give up dramas too, it is true that they take up a lot of time. I have been giving so much of my time up for dramas when I was suppose to be working on college projects. :( I guess as much as this addiction entertains me it also leaves me feeling guilty.

To be brutally honest, its like "lol you're wasting your time on random dramas while there are people out there being creative, working and producing things for their future and not wasting a minute of their life"

yeah, sometimes when I think about it, most dramas have the same cliche theme of female and male leads ending up falling for eachother and blablahblah.
But as an addict I defend that by pointing out "enjoying the characters stories and journeys, how they overcome obstacles lalala".

In the end I don't know what to do XDDD! omg help!

0

I have watched kdramas for years but I think addiction has stages .. I used to really watch them straight for hours but now I learned to set aside time to watch and do other things .. It's like watching TV or going to movies we need not do it 24/7 hehe.. To think I'm working in a hospital, kdramas for me is a breath of fresh air when I feel burnt out hehehe...

0

Good for you! I think I used to be totally addicted (tho it spanned through Manga, Anime, J-Dramas and K-Dramas) - but unlike the other poster - after my firstborn really NO time at all! But the best thing EVER is my commute to work - I get to watch all I want and it won't interfere with my life!

0

KUKUKU And the numbers keep going up! I had the same issue a year ago [when I started to watch Kdramas] because I stayed up all night just to sleep at classes or leaving undone paperwork and essays behind. Even so here I am with good grades at University, a job and still watching dramas KEKEKE

The key is an schedule and the will to stick to it, I have my own leisure time free of guilty [paperwork,chores and homeworks done] to watch Kdrama :D

0

as with any hobby, i think moderation is key. but once addicted, they say going without cold turkey is the best way forward.

actually reading recaps is a good alternative for me, i can keep the thirst at bay but still enjoy some drama. then i just marathon a drama over some weekend or long break. no drama-watching during the weekdays.

Definitely. I was totally addicted when I first started (August 2010) but I think over time life started to get in the way. College, my social life, k-pop (LOL, that's another story). But I'm pretty good with self-control these days. It's been about two months since I marathoned anything. Actually I hadn't really been watching any dramas until My Princess and Dream High premiered (I gave up on Secret Garden on around episode 8.)

I think it's really hard to managed your time in general (I'm in college right now & I'm about 100% sure I have ADD.) There's school, work, family... I'm fortunate enough that the height my addiction was never during an actual semester of college (I took a semester hiatus) but I think I'll be able to handle it well because I've started to treat these dramas as treats kind of like I treat myself with movies and so on (friends, partying LOL.) I've been saving it for the weekend or for my special chillin/alone time.

@Nana Maybe you could do the same? Giving up something you enjoy just seems a little harsh to me.

Uh, that's a "good" decision but I think you're in denial. I grew up watching dramas at the age of 2. Monkey King was the first drama I ever watched in Vietnam, I'd wait for it every morning and that was when it was dubbed in ONE voice. Anyway, its become such a big thing now (Viet dubbed, English subtitles and many other languages and its not exclusive to Asians only) but as an Asian I feel like it is a part of our culture to watch dramas. I watch dramas everyday and I'm proud to have a big list but don't think that just because I watch dramas that I don't have a life outside of my addiction. If I love something enough I'll make time for it. :) I'm never giving up dramas and I'm very picky about them. I don't watch every single one that comes out but when a good one comes along I'll make sure to watch it to the end and with its specials, ngs, etc. You just have to learn how to manage your time. Good luck with trying but I'm sure I'll see you around here soon. Haha. :P

Like in any cases of addiction, learn to do it in MODERATION. Balance your time with work/school, family, friends, and entertainment (which is dramaland in your case).

I'm still really obsessed with Asian dramas and movies, but not so much animes now (can't find good ones). Yet I still have to focus on what's really important. Family, Work, Friends, then addiction. CONTROL your addiction, do not let it control you.

And really good luck giving up watching dramas. That will be hard especially when you randomly spot a good summary of one on the net, and you wonder hmm just one episode then delete it ... 16 episodes later, ah crap I watched another drama full. LOL

Coco already announced it on viki. We will do the special - no promises on subbers being willing to sub it but the channel manager/mods/seggers will upload and seg the videos and pray that subbers will sub it.

Please keep in mind that subbing specials is a lot harder than subbing an episode.

This is the link to the sbs website. Someone who translates better than me can look. But for now...

Gisaeng disappeared at the end of the Joseon period, with the breakdown of the social system and the Japanese occupation.

The drama attempts to imagine what would have happened if they had not disappeared, and were still around today. That's why they're called "new" gisaeng stories.

The ladies of the gisaeng house entertain the VVIPs in modern day Korea.

This might appear very shallow or groundless but,

I hope they show us NG and BTS of all the kiss scenes. The party kiss BTS was the best so far. If I didn't know any better, I would think there is 'something' going on between HB and HJW. Off screen chemistry is just as explosive as their on screen chemistry.

As much as Hyun Bin's character is being adored for his role as the neurotic Ji Woon, Secret Garden won't be as successful without the great presence of Ha Ji Won.. I love her as Gil Ra Im - I don't think any other actress can portray that role effectively. Also, the rest of the cast even the Oska and Seul story is cute and heartbreaking.

reply

Required fields are marked *

Agreed. Ha Ji-won's Raim was the perfect foible to Hyun Bin's Joo-won, and together they made SG a very special drama. It would not have been the same at all, had either of their roles been portrayed by anyone else. I loved Hyun Bin's performance...but, honestly, I watched SG because of Ha Ji-won.

The love story of Oska and Seul was also very compelling, and it made a great companion story to Joo-won and Ra-im's amazing one. ;)

Only a few dramas make it into my fav list. This is one of them. This is also the first drama in the list that I'd attribute most of its success to one person - Hyun Bin. Coffee Prince, Dal Ja's spring, World's Within, etc depended on the whole cast and crew to be a success. But this show really hung on the acting skills of Hyun Bin. I mean, I love the directing and the writing but without Hyun Bin's execution, it would have failed so so so very badly.

I can't believe Secret Garden's going to end soon. It's been an enjoyable eighteen plus hours of squealing/crying in front of my laptop. I only realised after watching Episode 18 that Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won won the SBS 2010 Best Couple award (and both won Best Actor and Best Actress respectively). No surprise there! ;)

I've been watching k-drama for along time and watch many actors and actress from different roles, however they never exceed to my expection as much as Ha ji won play her different roles. From action, drama, comedy, and not to mention horror, this girl have it all under her belt. Really, Ha Ji won...you rock!!!!! I have to say she also have great physique.
