I agree with you that the second part can not be done because the hero will be in the army for two years

And I do not think that there is room for a new story, Unless 30 Child
born to aReims and Kim share their bodies!!

I think there's nothing left to say so i'm against a seaso 2 of the drama however a movie with the exact same story would be awesome.
Still, i don't think they'd be able to have the same cast =(

Just couldn't let this one rest in peace, couldya SBS? I also don't think Secret Garden 2 can happen with the same two leads, but I would love to see what happens to Tae-sun or maybe their kids later on in life.

I'd be for a spinoff where we follow the cute musician kid to find his happiness. He's really the only loose end.

As for the film or musical options, I'm torn. I think it would work a lot better as a stage play, but I would never get to see it so...

I don't know if I would like a season two, but another special might be cute. I also agree with Severine and zozo-oppa-fan: it'd be cool to see what happens to other characters like Tae Sun or their kids... could you imagine another fairytale between their oldest boy and another girl? Awwww.

i'm all for a spin off!^^ how about taesun's secret and/or garden?!=P or something like that?! i'm not very clever with names....>,< but taesun still has a story to tell. kim sarang and yoon sang hyun can rephrase their roles.^^ ha jiwon and hyun bin maybe not so much.... since hyun bin will be going to the army.

a musical will be the best bet though.^^ thanks for the update!^^

No!

i wished they would continue it after he gets back from the marine corp. [:

damn, just make a musical. a movie without the main characters (OMG HYUN BIN! the definition of secret garden) won't live up to SG's prestigious name.

a musical won't kill SG's name, hopefully :D

but i'm a no go for the drama. there's nothing to tell...the movie sequel as well. what is there to talk about in the afterlife anyways? i know it's really cute and everything...but last time's 75 minutes prologue was enough. it really was.

". . . why in particular they’re thinking musical, rather than just theater."

Are you kidding? Just think of the songlist from Act I.

Just a Regular Day
Oska and You Shall Receive
Handmade in Italy
Waking Up Someone New
Don't Touch That, Don't Touch Those
Handmade in Italy (Joowanda reprise)
Mothers Fight Dirty (for your own good)
Fire in the Heart
WTF: The Rules Have Changed (the rain song)

Ugh, they are just being greedy. There is no combination of factors that would make any afterlife of this show good.

To be honest, the actors' chemistry and banter is what made this drama work, not the story or anything else.

pleaseeeeeeeeee don't.....
don't ruin my good memory of secret garden...oh noooooo...

Oh! And we'll call it Secret Reversals!
Or maybe not...

Its a nono for me , the memory is too sweet i want to keep it that way! Another story line with HB n HJW as casts, without them it would'nt work.

I remember when BOF ended and there was all this talk about spinoffs and sequels. I'm sure this will all die down and people will move on from SG mania.

The story pretty much ended in 20 and w/o Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won, I sort of doubt people will watch.

I would totally watch an Oska/Seul spinoff though where Oska is clueless and dense, and Seul is the fierce bitch that she is.

wow. they want to bleed the cow like that?

After rewatching Secret Garden for the Gazillions time I do think it is time to move on, although If I were to chose I would go for the movie. They could show their marital life and what happens after the honeymoon phase and how they overcome the decison they made about getting married, and how after five years they are still a happily married couple with 3 lovely kids. But this will definetly have to happen when HB comes back from the Marines, because without the two maim leads it would not be the same.
I guess this is just my wishfull thinking because I would be a miracle if the two leads would reprise their roles after two years, just look at what happened with Full House, there were talks about a sequel but neither leads wanted to do it again.

Yay. Im excited. Thanks for sharing =)

I love Secret Garden, but please…forget Hyun Bin going to the army. What would be the story? And I’m not only talking about a second season, if they make a movie, the story would be the same or it would be another? In either case, it’s not a good idea.

Please SBS, leave it like that! It is good that way. 20 episodes were enough, I’m happy like that. I hate that every time something is successful the squeeze everything until they ruin it (I’m not talking specifically in dramas, Hollywood had ruined me many movies with the sequels).

She's pregnant and they swap body just in time of the delivery,lol.

"Cash Cow" was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the header for this article, and it is absolutely the only thing that's driving this. I loved Secret Garden a lot, but it was a story that was, for all intents and purposes, told in its entirety within the framework of a 20 episode drama. Within its 20 episode run, it came full circle with both the lead and secondary couples resolving their major conflicts and earning their happily ever after conclusions. Joo-won's mother was the only big conflict that was not completely resolved, but I'm glad that it wasn't a loose end that was tied up all nice 'n' neat and cozy. And, in the end, she stepped aside and let them be.

Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won ARE Secret Garden, and without either of them, any subsequent work with the Secret Garden label would be nothing more than an empty shadow with a poser tag and dollar signs in its eyes.

I think they have to write to then a nother drama will be much better than doing so much.....etc

They have to leave like this Secret Garden had end.

its all about the MONEY....they trying to milk this for all is worth.....there is no story to tell here...NONE...

“SECRET DIARY OF AN ADDICT”

Day one: It’s Monday morning and still feeling depressed because my favorite drama has ended…need to replay episodes 1-20 after finishing with work and other life related stuff.

Day two: Can’t believe SG has really ended!!!...Need to find SG related post to see what is going on...Wow!!! SG love still going strong!!Yay!!

Day three: Wait, there were other dramas airing at the same time as SG???? Need to catch up on other dramas that went under my radar, also need to check new dramas that are coming up…but still need to go and check other sited for SG updates!!!

Day four: OMG these withdrawal symptoms are killing me!!!!

Day five: Stop!! What are you doing? You said yesterday that you were not going to search for anything SG related…Yes it’s official I have gone nuts, need to find my own Shrink.

Day six: Yay! SG special was awesome, but I wish they had more NG. Sigh! I guess this is really goodbye, thank you show for giving me so much joy these past weeks I will miss you but I think is time for me to move on….

Day seven: What? They might make a sequel, a musical or a movie? nooooooooooooooo!!SBS are you trying to kill me?

no need for a second season because it ended beautifully and should be left with a beautiful memory.

I don't wanna! *whiny voice*

SG was awesome, and I totally loved it BUT I see no need to make sequel or anything else. The drama ended well, and there was enough story in the 20 episodes that aired - there is really no need to forcefully create new things just to drag it on and on and on. Go create a new profitable (...because that's what it's about anyway, right?) hit, I say.

All I've got to saqy about this post is that that is one cute snapshot of the SG Couple. Now, about Tae-sun and Oska.... XD Nah, it won't be the same without all the actors in the drama.

for me SECRET GARDEN is HA JI WON and BINNIE without them there's no SG so if it's gonna be without them then I won't watch for sure ( no offence everybody )

They should definately hav a SPIN-OFF, not a season two! I don't know why but I think Secret Garden is best left alone how it ended! It's perfect the way it was n adding anything else is... just... heh.. Idk, sorta ruins the whole thing? But if they hav some new solid good actors with switching bods n stuff IM ALL FOR IT!!!!! I will pray day and night until it happens. (Get ready to eat your left foot girlfriday!!)

Ehh, Season 2?
I kind of dont like where they ended the show, so I wouldnt care for them to pick it up from there either.

My biggest issue with the finale was probably that they ended up having kids. I mean, dont get me wrong, kids are great! But they still felt like their early stages of dating for me, and I felt that their relationship weren't at the mature stages that having kids call for. I do understand that there was a time jump, and it was kind of an epilogue-type thing. But they lost me -I didn't buy that they had kids. It didn't feel real. Soifboidfdowobow.

So, yeah, I wouldnt care for a story revolving them and their married life with kids -because in my head it didnt happen. ... And I'm still bitter that she didnt get a wedding.

It is Sunday.
Work is slow.

I am the very model of a modern chaebol leading man,
I’ve got a giant house, the perfect car and a lot of fans.
I am the closest thing Korea has to royalty
(as long as one discounts the Goong continuity).
I’m tall and even I marvel at my handsomeness,
And I put a lot of work into the distinctive way I dress.
My romance life always goes according to my plan –
In short I am the very model of a modern chaebol leading man.
In fact, when I have some empathy for the proletariat
And when I don’t tell women to do a disappearing act
When I know more of boundaries than a stalker in bush,
And my clothes do not present such a sparkly tush,
When I can keep from getting amnesia for a week or more,
When I don’t humiliate my crush in front of a department store,
And my best friend is not my ex lover and my shrink
You’ll say a better chaebol man never chugged a drink.
For my romantic knowledge is as stunted as a bonsai tree,
And every one is always stunned at my immaturity,
But if you only count the house, the car, and lots of fans,
I am the very model of a modern leading chaebol man.

...its not the story its the actors...why don't they get it dammit!

DEFINTELY NOT A SEQUEL! but i want a movie keke...

start of my withdrawal coz i just finished watching it. @_@ my eyes are swollen. need to catch a sleep.

A movie would be much better. A Secret Garden 2 no since what else could they add to the story.

i wanna see TAE-SUN~!!!

that would be COOL~!!!!
wit cameos from the original stars!!!!!!

maybe meet oska again!!

I hope the people look at the fans' reactions and rethink their proposals.

I for one would not be up for watching anything for TV or the big screen without Hyun Bin and Han Ji Won.

BTW I think Hyun Bin needs convalescence rather than anything else right now-at the rate he's going he'll be heading to the marines in a box. Anybody trying to push him to do anything else is playing havoc with his physical and mental health.

Message to Hyun Bin's management company:

'Is the best you can do? Are you sure?

I love SG, but a Season 2 totally kills the magic. I'm sorry :(
I do want a loveline between Oska and TS...tee-hee :D

Mmmmmmm.....Scratch the season 2....There's nothing to tell anymore...the body swapping is finish. (actually they did use the body swapping very well in the drama; esp the sacrificing body swapping bit...Can it get more melo than that???) Yeah, Ummm a movie; that just condenses everything...I guess I stick wif the musical...ahahahaha..Kim Joo won singing about the little mermaid ahahahahahaha...I wonder

I'll go for the drama...a Secret Garden Sequel since the couple Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won have acquired a lot of interest from the crowd...

Their reunion may be a big impact for the crowd especially with 3 kids with them...........hehehe....

I'll go a movie either...wehehehehehehe....although it may exist 2 yrs or more from now....:)..

really love the couple...;)

please.....enough of SG.Have they never heard of all good things must come to an end? People are ready to move on.

I want to see those 2 more ...........
