I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

The most striking feature of the drama "Secret Garden" is undoubtedly Hyun Bin, who is incredibly handsome.

Hyun Bin had just returned from military service, and he was in excellent spirits. His face, which still had a bit of baby fat in "My Lovely Sam Soon," became more angular in this drama, and he was incredibly charming when he smiled in a suit.

What's surprising is that Hyun Bin interprets humor in a unique way in the drama. Although he can be annoying at times, you can't help but fall in love with him.

In the drama, Hyun Bin plays the role of Kim Joo-won, the heir of a conglomerate. Before meeting the female lead, he is a cold, ruthless, sharp-tongued, and ill-mannered character.

After falling in love at first sight with Gil Ra-im, played by Ha Ji-won, on set, he instantly became a clingy cat, constantly seeking her out, and his love grew deeper and deeper. In the end, he even went so far as to use a soul swap to allow his beloved Gil Ra-im to live, while he himself faced brain death.

The second major feature of this drama is the plot where the male and female leads swap souls.

Kim Joo-won and Gil Ra-im, this pair of bickering lovers, although they have feelings for each other, cannot be together smoothly because of differences in family and class.

So the screenwriter arranged for Gil Ra-im's father to transform into a "fairy grandmother" and use medicinal wine to give them the ability to swap souls whenever it rains. This allowed them to deepen their understanding of each other and better understand each other's feelings. In the end, the male lead used this ability to save the female lead's life.

The third major feature of this drama is that the second female lead is a strong wingman for the first female lead!

This drama breaks away from the typical Korean drama plot of the second female lead vying for the male lead. In this drama, Seul-ah, who is both beautiful and from a good family, has been in love with the second male lead, Kim Joo-won's cousin, for decades.

The two almost got married thirteen years ago, but separated for many years due to a misunderstanding.

Thirteen years later, she returned to Korea and deliberately went on a blind date with Kim Joo-won to spite the second male lead who had hurt her. During the entanglement of the four of them, Seul-ah also understood the relationship between Kim Joo-won and Gil Ra-im, and in the end, she had a happy ending with the second male lead.

In short, this drama has a lot of humorous and touching moments, unlike the melodramatic Korean dramas that viewers might imagine.

In Cheng Sheng's opinion, this drama can be considered one of the most classic Korean idol dramas.

This drama has many classic lines and famous scenes, which have been borrowed by many Korean dramas. The screenwriter, director, and actors all did a great job.

The male and female leads of "Secret Garden" were played by Jiangsu Film Studio and Chen Kun.

Jiangsu Ying's looks are no less than Ha Ji-won's, and she might even be slightly better in terms of figure.

Needless to say, Chen Kun is even more handsome than Hyun Bin in Cheng Sheng's opinion.

The male lead in "My Girlfriend is a Gumiho" was given to Wang Chuanjun.

Originally, Da Tian Tian wanted to go back with him, but he rejected it. After all, she was the female lead in the movie, and going back and forth would be too much of a waste of time. It would be better for her to stay in the hotel and study her acting skills more.

Fortunately, Da Tiantian listened to his advice and didn't make a scene.

However, Cheng Sheng still managed to satisfy Da Tiantian, Zeng Li, and Li Xiaoran well last night.

The next day, after giving instructions to Peng Damo to keep an eye on the crew and prevent any accidents, he took Zhang Meng and Liu Yan to the airport at noon.

Cheng Sheng returned to China without telling anyone in the country except the film crew, not even Xing Aina.

Therefore, domestic media reporters assumed that Cheng Sheng was still filming abroad, which is why no reporters surrounded him at the airport when he came out.

Cheng Sheng first took Da Tiantian home, then took Zhang Meng to the company and handed Zhang Meng over to Xing Aina, asking her to arrange Zhang Meng's contract signing and subsequent resource arrangements.

After doing all that, Cheng Sheng drove to the large apartment he had bought in the Fifth Ring Road and called Chen Hong, his voice filled with undisguised tenderness: "Sister Hong, come to my place, I'm waiting for you in my new apartment."

Chen Hong hung up the phone, feeling both warm and anxious. She was warmed that she would finally see Cheng Sheng after so many days apart, but anxious because Xu Fan's matter was still weighing on her mind, and she was afraid of causing Cheng Sheng more trouble. She composed herself and drove to the large apartment Cheng Sheng had mentioned.

To avoid being recognized, Chen Hong dressed up before going out. If you weren't a familiar person, you really wouldn't recognize her.

Upon arriving at the address Cheng Sheng had given her, Chen Hong knocked on the door.

As soon as the door opened, Cheng Sheng didn't exchange any pleasantries and reached out to pull her tightly into his arms.

The longing for a long-awaited reunion, though separated by mountains, seas, and storms, is poured out in this moment.

Chen Hong leaned against his chest, listening to his steady and powerful heartbeat. The anxiety and grievances of the past few days collapsed instantly. Her nose tingled and her eyes welled up with tears.

"I'm sorry, I made you suffer." After closing the door, Cheng Sheng gently stroked her long hair, his voice low and gentle: "During those days at sea, I was constantly thinking about you, afraid that Xu Fan would make things difficult for you, but I was too busy to help you and could only worry in my heart."

Chen Hong choked back tears and shook her head, tightly hugging his waist with both hands. Her voice was trembling with sobs: "I'm not wronged... I know you'll handle everything. I'm just... just afraid of implicating you, afraid that those photos will be spread, ruining your reputation and your future."

Cheng Sheng released her, reached out and wiped away the tears on her face, his fingertips were incredibly gentle, and his eyes were full of tenderness: "Silly girl, how many times have I told you, I'm here, I won't let you get hurt in the slightest. Although people may criticize our relationship, I'm not afraid. It's just that some people with ulterior motives have taken advantage of the situation."

The two sat on the sofa, snuggling together, sharing their longing and concern over the past few days. Cheng Sheng talked about the hardships of filming at sea, his indignation at being slandered, and his anger when he learned that she was being blackmailed by Xu Fan. Chen Hong talked about her anxiety these past few days, Xu Fan's relentless pressure, and her concerns about not daring to contact him easily. Every word was filled with deep concern.

As his emotions gradually calmed down, Cheng Sheng took Chen Hong's hand and pulled her back into his arms, his eyes filled with tenderness.

As night deepened outside the window, the warm light inside created a sense of kinship. The longing and relief of being reunited after a long separation intertwined, and all the past turmoil and anxieties vanished like smoke in the wind.

"Sister Hong." Cheng Sheng embraced Chen Hong's snow-white body, gently brushing away the strands of hair that fell across her face with one hand, and called out softly. Seeing Chen Hong open her dazed eyes, he chuckled and said, "You are so beautiful."

"What's so beautiful about it? I'm old now." Chen Hong was touched, but when she saw Cheng Sheng's youthful face, she couldn't help but sigh.

"Time cannot diminish beauty; you are at your most beautiful right now," Cheng Sheng said sweetly.

It must be said that Zeng Li, Li Xiaoran, and Zhang Meng are truly exemplary figures whose beauty remains undiminished by time, growing more charming with age. (End of Chapter)
