Kim Gab-soo’s awesome Secret Garden parody

by javabeans

Okay, there have been a ton of recent parodies and references to Hyun Bin‘s sparkly tracksuit in Secret Garden, but this one really takes the cake. And not just because it features a perennial drama favorite, Kim Gab-soo, but because of the title it has given itself: “Sausage Garden.” OMG. Someone want to tell them that, uh, that title? It suggests something entirely different than what they mean?

The pictured scene comes from the MBC sitcom All My Love, and aired today (January 13’s Episode 39). It features a storyline in which Kim Gab-soo’s character is advised to get healthy, and embarks on a diet and exercise regimen. Alas, he has a formidable Achilles heel: his love of processed sausage sticks. LOL.

And thus he dons the tracksuit made famous by Hyun Bin, and re-enacts the sit-up scene with Jung Ho-bin (his butler/assistant). LMAO.

And there we have it: Sausage Garden. (Spit-take. Can I even say that?)

Oh, Kim Gab-soo. He’s like the Christopher Walken of Korea.

What makes me laugh the most is the utter absurdity of the captions labeling these photos on the show’s official website. Perhaps the humor won’t translate if you don’t understand Korean, but for those who do, here’s what they read:

“한 남자가 소시지를 사랑합니다…”

“그 남자가 열심히 먹었답니다…”

Did anybody else sing those captions to the melody of the drama’s soundtrack song? ‘Cause that makes me giggle like a loon. Here, sing along:

Hyun Bin – “그남자” (That Man). [ Download ]

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

A potentially humor-killing explanation: The captions read “One man loves sausages… That man diligently eats them…” The reason it’s so funny is because the words mimic, syllable by syllable, the real lyrics of the song.

...or maybe he is the older Jo Won...come to think of it with that kind of set up he may still be childish.....diet, discipline, exercise it shows that he needs some shaping up (character again...)I wonder who will be the older Ra-Im....lol...peace... my imagination gone wild...

I'm downloading the episode now, so I'll let you kids know if there's even more hilarity to be had.

Kim Gab-soo, I love you. Much like Christopher Walken, I wish there was a way for me to elect you to every post ever. ♥

And the parody is just so faboo. I really wonder if those who came up with the idea know how the parody translates into English and American culture.

Hahaha! It cracked me up watching the episode. Aside from the sit-up scene ("That Woman" plays in the background), he also did the Joo-won 'solitary' walk while reciting Joo-won's neurotic verse. =) So so funny!

All My Love seems so fun. It has Brown Eyed Girls' "Abracadabra" parody too, right?

Are you watching this drama regularly, javabeans? Is it worth watching?
I want to download it - the casts are hilarious, Jo Kwon,Ga In,Park Mi seon, and of course Kim Gab soo - but it's so long...makes me hesitant to start it.

It's worth watching even though it's not a masterpiece per say. It's a family comedy, has your typical reoccurring gags, but has little story lines for each character aside from the main storyline. It's not long at all considering each episode is about 30 mins. But yes, you'd have a lot of episodes to catch up on. Last but not least, Jo Kwon's sassy craziness itself is worth the watch. It also airs daily so there's no long wait for the next episode.

Only shows mimicking SNL [vs AML] in some degree do tell what is today's trend grabbers... sparkly tracksuits, diets, exercise, and sausages. This world is getting a bit complicated. I tell you, this new year's resolution is the same every year, I should take a picture of my gym to show you peeps how much motivation kicks in every beginning of a new year.

I like this show's humor. There should be more jokes about new year's resolutions.

You should take a picture of your gym today and compare it with a picture three months after. I bet the latter will be relatively empty. =/

there was another reference, albeit indirect, to secret garden in this episode. ha ji won's brother is in it and there was a scene in which someone took his picture and did the "celebrity match" profile. he came up as ha ji won and he was all, "i dont look like ha ji won!" her brother is a cutie!

Actually, eversince Secret Garden, i'm always liken Hyun Bin to Kim Gab Soo, thinking that when HB got older he will be the KGS of him generation, who is quite diverse in acting. Small or Big role, he portrays them beautifully and right-on character. They even have the same shape of the face, isn't it?

January 14, 2011 at 5:21 AM

they really do look quite like each other...I think if Hyun Bin would age he would end up looking like Kim Gab Soo.. i think it's the eyes? or the jaws.. well, whatever bottom line is they both look good right?
