Behold, the tracksuit that would not die
by javabeans
[NOT REALLY SPOILERY BUT…]
Oh, this just cracks me up. So. Hard.
Secret Garden watchers will be familiar with Hyun Bin’s obsession (or rather, Joo-won’s) with his expensive, hand-stitched, sequined Italian tracksuit, which everyone else mocks as tacky and unfashionable. Despite the fact that Joo-won has been the butt of many jokes as a result of his Suit of Sparkles, he apparently can’t let go even when his soul has been transported into the body of Ha Ji-won, as we see in these teaser stills from the drama’s upcoming Episode 8.
Dying. Laughing.
I know some of you were hoping that once the bodies were switched, Joo-won would use his endless cash flow and sophisticated fashion sense to spiff up Ra-im’s tomboyish, casual wardrobe. I think we set our hopes too high.
What kills me (even more) is that given their size difference, Joo-won has either had to procure another designer sequined extravaganza, or he’s gone out of his way to retrieve his old one and then altered it to fit his new womanly shape.
This drama could do nothing but physical comedy gags between Hyun Bin and Ha Ji-won and I would be in heaven.
Secret Garden, which passed the 20% ratings threshold within four episodes, airs on Saturdays and Sundays. As if our weeks weren’t long enough.

My sides hurt from laughing. OMG. And it makes it so much better that RaHim has that serious face like Joo Won sometimes does while wearing the bedazzled sparksuit. As if anyone can take him seriously while he's wearing that.

Now i know the sickness that is the fate of Ra-im: getting sick from seeing her body in the shiny tracksuit! :D
LOL! Looks like getting rid of it requires taking it to the fiery depths of Mt. Doom. :D

Now Joo-won get use to Ra-im's body and comfortable enough to wear his favorite tracksuit I hope he can wear leopard one.

Don't know if this is true or not, but read that Hyun Bin's stylist custom made it specifically for this drama so its one of a kind? But its probably being mass produced now somewhere as we speak! :)

I just can't believe how awesome this drama has turned out!!! It's everything that I can't find in any of the other current dramas. Oh, the sparkling track suit. I love it on both of them. It just gives them the right amount of corkiness. I can't wait to see the 2nd half of episode 6. I also haven't seen 3 & 4.
Thank you JB and GF for your honest and hilarious and just all around fun to read recaps.

These are the moments when you go "hmm~ so is this in part to explain why Hyun Bin fans deem him too skinny on this show? He looks slim enough in these sparkly tracksuits to complement Ha Ji-won's petite frame as well? In case of this body swamp and wardrobe swamp too?
Is it obvious, this midnight blue tracksuit is a little loose under arms on Ha Ji-won? And her shoulders are short and not broad enough to fill up such an outfit.

oh and IMO, that tracksuit isn't that much more tacky than the juicy couture tracksuits that have JUICY written across the buttocks. in fact, i think i'd take sparkly over juicy any day. hahahaha
no offense to anybody who loves that particular tracksuit style from juicy...

If they continue to show this tracksuit I think I'm going to get very fond of it.
True that sports and sequin equals tacky, but thwew will be no wonder if this show will start a new trend.
