This is how we spend our time: Spazzing over Hyun Bin

Written by Youngji On November 22, 2010

In the teeny amount of free time we have in the evening after work/class/life/disaster, we talk — excitedly — about dramas. And the drama of the moment? “Secret Garden” with Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won.

This is the quickfire conversation between true fangirls. You’ve been warned.

YoungJi [YJ]: hey, did u see secret garden yet?
Amy: yeah!! i watched it as a relaxer on saturday night haha
YJ: OMG, i’m such a fan
Amy: SO GOOD
YJ: i know!
Amy: HYUN BINNNNNNNNN
YJ: i watched all four episodes in one sitting last night
Amy: first kpop crush <3 <3 <3
yo philip lee is the only legit korean American actor in korea
he wins me over by the sheer fact that he can speak korean fluently
YJ: Agreed, but his character is so sad :(
Amy: yeahhhh. i feel bad for him already. never stand a chance against hyun bin hahaha
YJ: haha, of course not, but i wish my boss was like that- gifting me free bags via my friend!
Amy: dude hyun bin got so SKINNY
his face is like sunken in
YJ: yes, hyunbin is skinny and his sparkling training wear!
Amy: he didn’t use to be this scrawny
he was like fuller in the face in that drama with song hye kyo
also, did you watch his other drama “friend, our legend”?
YJ: nope
Amy: heard it was really good but i never watched it. i probably will after i get off this hyun bin kick
YJ: that’ was 2001
Amy: noo. that was recent
top and taeyang sang for the ost
that’s how i even knew
YJ: oh, 2009, nevermind
Amy: yeah
YJ: i gotta track the drama down
man, new OBSESSION
for me, the song “that women” is my favorite
has been on repeat since last night
Amy: is that by baek ji young?
YJ: yup
Amy: yeah it’s good
YJ: we are such fan girls
spazzing over hyunbin
Amy: dude i can’t wait for it to be saturday again

YJ: very true
and i love ha ji won’s character
and i love the dynamics of their relationshp
its so different from any other chaebol & an average girl relationship its so realistic cuz he’s like wtf am i doing liking a girl like you
Amy: the only thing i have a problem with is how FAST he started liking her
YJ: it is!
Amy: i like how he recites crap whenever he starts thinking about her again hahaha. it’s so cute
YJ: and i love his arrogant responses
Amy: yeah!! smartass
like how his special skill is earning lots of money hahahhaa
YJ: LMAO and spending them
Amy: oh also, the first time they meet at the hotel room, and he got confused as to what she does
YJ: yes!
Amy: and she’s like i get paid extra if i do it in the forest

i actually like the fact that he’s infatuated with her so quickly. it’s different from your usual ihateyousomuchbutthenisuddenlyloveyouafterrunningintoyousomuch road that kdramas take. he’s obsessing over her, but he’s angry that he’s liking a girl so poor, so different, so WRONG for him. the body-swapping thing will shed light on both of them so they can understand each other.

man, i LOVELOVELOVE their intense chemistry. episode four: i was fanning myself in the fitting room scene.

Yeah, i prefer this too. I’m a girl and when i see a hot guy for the first time, im like who’s he and especially if i talk to them and stuff, im like thinking about them. Anyways, I love it. And I love that he’s the one affected first eheh

I’m actually more addicted to Mary than Secret Garden – I can relate more to the characters in Mary, I genuinely like the four leads, and my Jang Geun Seok bias is in full effect :D I still love Secret Garden, though – it’s definitely not your standard k-drama romance/rom-com. Joowon is such an ass, but I find it hard to hate him. And I LOOOVE Ra-Im, but I wish she’d stand up for herself more! The other characters kinda bore me though (save Ra-Im’s roommate and Joowon’s secretary, who are both hilarious) – the drama is best when Hyun Bin and/or Ha Ji Won are on screen.

wow i thought i was a lone. I wish Saturday would come faster but I don’t speak korean so i have to wait for english subs :( You know how painful that be when you’re so in love with the drama. I’ve been thinking of watching Hyun bin other dramas too hahah. I love this man.

hyun bin’s character is weird but that makes him so adorable!

I am officially in love with this drama. Hyun Bin and Ha Ji Won have the most intense chemistry, in fact….it might even be better than Hyun Bin & Kim Sun Ah. I love both their characters and don’t really mind if they don’t ever switch bodies. I would watch the whole drama if they stayed themselves, bickering and falling in love :)

Strangely, when Oska yells I find myself wanting more…manly yells. Normally yellings in Kdramas pierce my ears. Oh boy, is this a good sign?
Giselle

Wow! Totally agree!!!!
I love Secret Garden even more than Mary, I used to wait for Mary cause JGS!!
But now, only with 4eps I´m desperately waiting for Saturday to come!!
I want more SC & HB drug!!! LOL!!!! It’s just I´m so addicted to Hyun Bin! =)

Your conversation LOL! I would totally have a conversation like that if anyone I knew watched Korean Drama….alas I am the only one in my circle, everyone thinks I’m nuts. Good to know that I’m not alone.

I am in love with this drama for me a sign of a good drama depends on how interested I become in the actors/actresses other work, and maaaannnn a live i’m interested in Hyun Bin’s and his other work….I’ve become obsessed! Hyun Bin, where have you been my K Drama viewing life???

I’m watching to try and fill the void between episodes (but is turning out the be one of the best moves ever) the beyond impressive, possible the best and fast becoming one of my all time favourite K Drama’s ever “My name is Kim Sam Soon”!

How, how, HOW have I lived till now without watching this drama?
