5.0 out of 5 stars Great series!, February 3, 2009

This review is from: 2007 Japanese Drama - The Secret Garden - w/ English Subtitle (DVD)

This was my first Japanese drama series, and I enjoyed every episode.
As for the subtitles, I didn't really need them, but tried them out for the first time watching the episodes, I noticed that during the final episode, the subtitles for each of the character's names, they were in Chinese, but, all in all, the dvd itself, was very enjoyable.
I definitely enjoyed this purchase, and thank you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Comical Drama, March 4, 2010

This review is from: 2007 Japanese Drama - The Secret Garden - w/ English Subtitle (DVD)

The Secret Garden is something different that I picked up on a chance. I didn't read too much about it before I started watching it. I will say this, the characters are really great, but rather unpredictable. I recommend this tv show to girls and boys who are into reading comic books and want to see the sad and happy side of writing comic books. The plot revolves around a young woman who is an editor for a fashion magazine. The fashion magazine gets suspended and she finds herself as an editor for a mangaka, who is actually composed of five men disguised as a woman, in order to appeal to the girl readers. Intrigued? As much as these men write, they do not know the first thing about real women, which makes for an excellent story line. For those who do decide to buy the product, don't freak out if you can't read the DVD menu. Unfortunately, the copy I had did not have the menu translated. I had to use the subtitles button on my remote to get the English subtitles to work while watching the episodes.
