SG: Ha Ji Won's double loses 8kg in two weeks for the role

Not quite new news...I admit, I was too lazy to translate -_-" But better late than never, right? Also have a cute Binnie article coming up, so please anticipate it! (gah, I sound like some actor giving a speech about their upcoming show).

8kg may not sound that impressive alongside Yoon Sang Hyun's 10 kg, but two! weeks! That means this lady here lost 4kg in 7 days! Holey moley! Is that even humanly possible?

Parody Of The Day: SG Never Dies

NEVER, y'hear me? A fan posted this on Kim Heechul's twitter account; my special thanks to Hee Joo Won (don't ask) for the Ko-Chi translation:

Many of you here might recognize the SG tracksuit (now officially known as Blue Spangle), but if you don't know what's that funny looking mantou-face is, it's Heechul's avatar on his twitter account, is what any E.L.F would be happy to inform you. 

What? You Think I Was Kidding When I Said It Was Italian?

If your tracksuit costs less than 1000 USD, it's a fake. And it's not The Tracksuit. It's Blue Spangle, ahem. And lemme introduce to you the rest of the churinings:

Meet the Blue Spangle, Leopard, Black Flower and Gold Stud. At 1.2 million won each, that makes each one of them costs approx 1000 USD with the exception of Gold Stud staying true to it's name, being the most pricey at 1 250 USD (1.38 million won).

Secret Garden: A CNY Present

Continuing my tradition since last Christmas, I'll be posting another SG parody vid using Chinese New Years as an excuse (let's be honest: I'm still not quite over Joo Won or SG yet).


Linky to the video will be after this, first up here are pics of SJ's Eunhyuk doing yet another parody from our beloved show. As any Gardener would know, it's the two signature scenes from the drama, The Sit-ups and the (infamous) Bed Scene #1:

Long Live SG: Two And A Half Updates

Well, can't really say all these is SG related but it is related to the SG family, so read up, folks!

SG Gets A Special (again?)

(Updated!)

We're Lying There Just Like A Line - Yozoh (feat. Lee Sang Soon)

A certain friend at Baidu said it best: "Long live SG!" Not to be confused with the previous one that came out on Saturday, this special will be coming out in time for the Lunar New Year. A quick check at the Chinese calendar (yes, us Chinese have a special calendar of our own) shows that it will be on the 2nd day of CNY. No time details have been announced yet. Schedule is as follows:

Writer Kim On My Princess (And hellochloe on Dream High)

SG's writer, Kim Eun Sook cheers for MBC's My Princess.

The four main actor's collective signatures.

She has tweeted recently on the 23rd at 7.00 PM: 

Ha Ji Won: "Tang Wei Watches SG Too"

Ha Ji Won recently attended Prada's Spring/Summer 2011 Collection in Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing. She was the only Korean star who has been invited for the event, alongside Chinese actresses Tang Wei, Gong Li, Maggie Cheung and other stars.


Ha Ji Won said: "That day I met Tang Wei for the first time, she said she watched Secret Garden. When I said I knew Late Autumn will be released in Korea, she replied it would be in February. She was very warm, like a friend." She expressed her regret at not being able to chat with her further: "The fashion show was held in a relatively dark room, furthermore we sat separately from each other. We did meet again in the crowded elevator, but there was no time to chat about the drama or partnering with Hyun Bin and such."

Writer Kim On SG's Finale

First, A 'lil Cute Of The Day:

 Sigh. If only we could be woken up like this every morning.

SG's Bed Scene: Behind-The-Scenes

[To mamajoni who wanted to know more about the bed scene, sorry to put a wet blanket to the steamy bed scene, but as a certain show said it best: You Asked For It -haha!]

You know, I've been thinking about SG's finale...and if I were to change one part it would be Sohn Ye Jin's cameo. This is pretty shocking for me too, as she's one of my fav kstars in the industry -and happy to see her doing fine, in fact hotter and wittier than she ever was in Personal Taste), but I was (irrationally) mad at her for taking away what could be Joo Won's sister and Action School's director's romantic development. Wouldn't it be better if, say, she wanted Ra Im to be her stuntwoman or her co-star instead? 


Instead, Jong Soo is now reduced to a flubbering idiot and sister is nowhere in sight. *Sigh* Don't mind me, just one of my many rants. Anyway, back to the bed/ implied sex scene:

SG: A Tribute To Everyone Who Has Ever Worn The Bling Bling

Yes, even you doggie. Among the people below are 2AM's Changmin, the awesomerific Kim Gab Soo as Joo Won in MBC's sitcom All My Love, Baby brothers uljjang (huh there's such thing ?) Mason and Mavin (which one is it? dunno...)

Hyun Bin Goes On A Talk Show

After Secret Garden ended, for the first time Binnie goes on tvN's variety show, Taxi. Taxi is sort of like a talk show, and by sort of I mean they do chat like in a talk show, but instead of the studio it's done LIVE in a taxi where the host drives and the guests are passengers. Hmm...didn't they say that while driving we should focus on nothing but that? How is anyone suppose to to do that while Binnie is right beside them? 

SG Steamy Parody

Oooh, this post have been (deliciously) upped. Dear dc genius, please tell me who you are, 'cause I wanna make banners for you. Your fan foreva, hellochloe.

The following post is restricted to LOEL Department Store Staff. Err, perhaps that is a wee bit restrictive, so let it be for the eyes of die-hard Gardeners only:

Secret Garden Gets A Sequel?

Seems that the production company is not quite done yet milking this cash cow. After the calendars, stickers, OSTs, tours and other memorabilia - now comes the inevitable: it's either the prequel or the sequel. And they chose the latter. It was announced on the 18th that there will be a sequel - it won't be a drama though, but a movie or a musical. 

Secret Garden Twitter Updates

Whad'ya know? Another celeb tweet. Since I expect many more in the future, I shall regularly update this post. But you guys don't have to dig the archives for it -I'll set it to show up as Latest Posts. And the newest tweets will be on top, with the previous at the bottom.


Tweet #4: Hey, what a surprise! Even Go Hyun Jung is watching SG, is what she tweeted today (16/1/2011). 

SG Finale Dinner

*Sigh* Don't you wish you were there? The perfect way to end this epic drama - with the stars themselves in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. If this show were aired live here in Malaysia, I would wear an "I LOVE SG" T-shirt, and make my family wear it too while we watch the final episode. Le sigh, wouldn't that be wonderful... let a girl dream, will ya? 


This song is the song in Oska's No Smoking campaign scene (the one where he was singing with the 'lil kids), it's so cute and it IS really a song for a No Smoking campaign:
Smoke Free - U-Kiss 

I'm sure EVERYONE is here at the finale dinner, but I only have the non-main cast here:

Secret Garden's OST Concert

(Updated!) Wow what a gathering! Looks like everyone from SG is here, look our boys are on the stage! *proud moment*

More (blurry) pictures coming right up! Let's play a round of spot the stars...

SG: The Ending

Eh...why are the pics super clear? Something smells fishy, or maybe it's just me not believing. Pinch me? 

Look -it's really triplets! I swear I'll do a thousand headdesks if Ra Im turns out to be carrying other ppl's children (i.e. Seul's or Ah Young's).

The Late Bloomer Yoon Sang Hyun

More often that not, I tend to assume stars are born into the fame and limelight, which is why I appreciate articles like these which make them seem almost human; I'm so glad YSH made it in Korea's cutthroat entertainment industry, for Oska wouldn't be Oska without him. Thank you for not giving up, oppa.

The Representative of "Flower Men" in their 30's

It was only in 2005 the 30-something actor begin to enter the entertainment scene; through several years of setbacks and growth, he is now finally able to show off his commendable acting chops and singing skills. After what seemed to be a year of silence, he created yet another memorable role as Hallyu star Oska in Winter 2010's Secret Garden. 

Secret Garden Finale

Another confirmation of a Happy Ending for the OTP; a mashup from two news articles: (Updated!)

Finalizing the finale's script: With two more episodes left to go, SBS's Secret Garden's writer Kim Eun Sook has chose the Happy Ending. Right now, the SG crew is in Yeoju, Gyeonggi-do, Paju and Yesan-gun, Chungcheongnam-do shooting for the 19th Episode. It is tough on the crew as the filming is so close to a "LIVE" broadcast.
