K-Drama: Secret Garden Episode 5 Summary and Review

The seriously addicted me has finished watching episode 5 and gasping for more! Are they going to kiss finally in next episode?!!! Heart attack.....inner scream!!!

ok enough screaming....back to more impt stuff! Reviews and Summary!

This will be a quick summary (off my head) without much details since I dun have much time at the moment. I may come back after wed to add more dialogue details since they are pretty funny.

Afterthoughts
I like JW because while he is callous, he will reflect upon his actions after seeing Ra Im's expression and reactions. He isnt heartless, and he does get affected by the events. I think he isnt outright being mean, but just so frank and seeing things differently being in a completely social circle and upbringing that he doesnt understand poverty is, and thus his attraction to ra Im which defied every thing he knows, and that she is pretty too! The starting scene where he went thru everything to find the bike keys says that Ra Im do mean alot to him, and he does care what she feel. I think he doesnt feel good when ra Im gets upset but his natural inclination to her provocation is just to "hit back" at her by stating the obvious and not sugar coating his words. he doesnt mince his thoughts and say things as he see it, which in a way childlike behavior. Yet he does all that because he do like Ra Im and she infuriate him soo much and thus all bickering (lover's spate?),

Watching Ra Im trying to dress up was a little sad for me because we all know how it turn out later, that her best efforts to look nice for JW went down the drain due to the rather battered bag which borders on disgraceful...and when she tied the napkin over the broken bag strap to hide the pins after JW told her off, Oooo ouch... that hurts..the pride and ego all shattered over a million pieces....yet I am glad she didnt let him get her down even though she acknowledge and recognise some degree of truth in his words. if only JW knew how much effort she did put in to her best of ability....sigh...

Secret Garden Ep 5 summary

The story begins that JW has booked the whole restaurant venue so the 3 had to lunch together. It was hilarious watching JW's jaw dropped in utter surprise and disbelief at the 180degree attitude change when Ra Im was with Oska, the gentleness, the meekness and the sweetness which are all eluded from him! He gulped and nearly choked when Oska and Ra Im deliberately flirted verbally before him and Ra Im called Oska Oppa. Just then, the young upstart singer started to sing and the 3 of them hushed to listen to him hear him sing.


During the song, JW looked at Ra Im intently as he recalled past encounters with her, the things he saw and felt on his end. Flashes of memory fly by showing him looking at Ra im in distance trying to conceal the torn bag, JW fishing out her bike key from the waters, and him staring at the pile of mess in the shopping mall and buying them up with a sense of helplessness of the situation. Meanwhile, we see Ra Im recalling her girlike excitement and frantic over what to wear when JW had sms her out...

When the song ended, Oska excused himself to try to catch hold of the young singer while JW began his "interrogation" of Ra Im's different attitude towards Oska. He asked her if she didnt know that Oska is a big flirt and womaniser? As he mimicked her "Can I call  u Oppa" (this is my fav scene of the episode!), he questioned how could she behave so differently towards Oska like a 16yr ld in crush vs the antagonising manner towards him. JW added that he is always the one to get Oska out of his womanising mess, so how can Ra Im idolise someone like that?!. Ra Im told JW to use his skills to settle the woman who has been looking at him for a while now. JW turned ard to see Yoon Seul happily looking at him.

After gettin rid of Yoon Seul commenting that its very hard to have a meal with Ra Im, JW and Ra Im was still bantering when Ra im ran into her very unhappy boss seeing her here. Meanwhile, a furious Oska who has been told by Yoon Seul that what they had wasnt love, angrily told Yoon Seul that Ra Im is way better than her and he is dating her, much to the displeasure of Yoon Seul who felt Ra Im was beneath Oska as ra Im has no class nor style. Still fuming, Oska went to JW and challenge him to a race, that if Oska win, JW will have no say in how they (Oska and Ra Im) develop. Unwilling to give up Ra Im at all, JW agree to the race.

While being sent off to wait in the director's room, Ra Im overheard the 2 guys preparing to set off and asked to join the race not knowing what the bet was. Her only request was to participate in Oska MV if she wins. However during the race, JW accidentally knocked the ocean road signage, leading ra Im to head the opposite direction into the unmarked forest.

Along the race, JW kept turning back to look for a non appearing Ra Im. Just as he was about to win the race, he heard A woman scream over the wireless talking piece and he immediately screech to a stop and asked if Ra Im was alrite? Oska won the race and mocked JW if he was staging the scream excuse as he lost. Just then Oska heard the scream too and the guys split up to search for Ra Im.

JW saw the wrong signage and headed to the forest to locate Ra Im. When he found her, he worriedly asked if she was ok and yelled at her for not using the phone or wireless set. Ra Im appeared fine and said the reception was bad and the set malfunction etc. He asked her if she was fine since she screamed but she insisted it wasnt her. JW insisted it was her scream but Ra Im said he may heard a scream but it wasnt her for sure. She had spotted a sign that said "Secret Garden" and was just thinking to head there to make a call for a cab.

When they got there, it was a strange run down place with countless colourful bottles all over the place. a strange lady appeared and asked them to pick a chicken soup dinner set. The peculiar place had an assortment of strange bottles (potion or alcohol?) which the strange owner claimed was for her daughter. The strange lady seemed to know things about the two and when she was being nice to JW and ignoring Ra im, he kinda slide further away trying to distance himself from the strange woman. However thanks to the weird dinner environment, JW get to share his first meal with Ra Im finally....Yet unknown to them, this place was exactly the same "magical" house that was in an art piece that JW had previously reviewed.

Heading back to hotel, Ra im shyly commented the shy person in her thanked JW for looking for her. JW asked why couldnt she thanked him earlier but Ra Im said if he said anymore, the other angry person in her will bash him. She gave one of the 2 bottles (from the secret garden) to JW. JW said he doesn't want it as he doesn't drink things from unknown sources. ra Im said it wasnt for him but for Oska and perhaps she should give it to oska herself. Hearing that, JW grabbed the bottle and said if its for him, how can she just give it away. As they started to banter, they ran into the director again who was fuming at Ra Im "disappearance" from the room. The director told her to go back and JW interrupted isnt it weird for Ra Im a woman to sleep with a bunch of guys in the same room? The director retorted there is no gender differentiation in their work family.

In the room, Ra Im got an earful. The director then told the rest of the guys to pack up their room and move to his room, letting out the other room for Ra Im. Just then, JW appeared, declaring that while it may be alrite for teh director but for him, it is unacceptable and too strange a concept for a woman to share a room with a man who is not related. The director asked what is JW 's business and JW said since Ra Im is the prize winner, he is obliged to care for her accommodation these few days and he will let her have his room while he will join Oska. The director was shocked that ra Im actually won the prize! (for the bag he bought secretly)

Reaching his room, JW openly asked how can she stand the idea of sleeping in the same toom and asked what is her relationship with the director? Is he your boyfriend?! he hurriedly demanded to know. Ra Im refused to tell him and asked why is he so nice to her. JW said that she knows why and there is 2 sort of woman to him, the marrying kind, and the kind to toy with / have flings and he is wondering which category she belong to. JW said she should let him hug her to decide. ra Im asked so what if she did and if he liked her after hugging her, so what will happen? Will she be like Cinderella?

JW brutally replied no, not Cinderella but Little mermaid, one who started with nothing and end up with nothing except to be foam as in the story. Upset, Ra Im finally slapped JW. JW picked up his stuff and left.

Ra Im was out, still reeling from hurt about what JW had said frankly about her. JW was also in his own room thinking about her. Oska spotted the bottle and asked if it was alcohol. Not wanting Oska to have it, JW jumped up from bed and grabbed the bottle, declaring that he will buy Oska alcohol but not this bottle. Oska didnt persist and said it was fine. JW asked his cousin how did he know Yoon seul a woman who had gone on a arranged marriage meeting before with him? Not wanting to reveal the truth, Oska lied that Yoon seul was somewhat his fan then.

Ra Im colleague appeared and asked her to meet Oska MV producer since she is here and he will try to settle the director for her. However to her shock, it was Yoon Seul!

Ra Im and JW, each alone with the bottle of strange alcohol, decided to drink it at the same time. The sky changes and thunder and lightning struck, unknown to them, their future is going to change drastically!

Next morning, Ra Im opened her eyes and think it was a dream to see Oska sleeping next to her with his hands on her. JW on the otherhand was aching all over and awaken by a snore. When they fully awaken, they both screamed in shock, to discover they had switched bodies!!!!
