Premiere Watch: Lies Hidden in My Garden

Time slot: Monday-Tuesday
Broadcaster: ENA
Genre: Mystery, thriller, suspense
Episode count: 8

Reasons to watch: Kim Tae-hee returns to dramaland in this very classic-feeling suspense-thriller drama that will never not call to mind Rear Window for me. In the drama, Kim Tae-hee begins to suspect her husband has buried a body in the yard, and she soon teams up with her neighbor Im Ji-yeon (straight from a career high thanks to The Glory) and the two try to figure out the mystery. With the awesome PD Jung Ji-hyun behind the camera (Twenty Five Twenty One, You Are My Spring, Search Query: WWW), the novel adaption could turn into a crisp, thrilling, and tightly-told tale.

TL;DR: Kim Tae-hee x Im Ji-yeon team up in this suspense-thriller

of all the Kdramaland "IT girls" of the 00s Kim Tae-hee was always dismissed as a pretty face with no real talent, but ive always enjoyed watching her on screen and she was great in Hi Bye Mama

Will give this a shot.

Out of the nine "original Hallyu actresses" unfortunately she and Han Ga-In (where is she now?) are often regarded by Korean fans as the ones with the weakest acting.
Song Hye Gyo was also considered the weak link of that group of that nine actresses up until The Glory ....

The CF Queens were well loved by investors. It didn't matter if they can act or not.

Well, knetz are right on the money with HGI - watching her "acting" is a high violence torture. She seems to retire to focus on her family life, which I seriously doubt anyone other than her fanboys is really sad about #sorrynotsorry

Im curious, why did they think lets make a drama instead of a movie. It feels like a movie idea was somehow turned down so they rewrote it as drama. Because all the shots so far seem like they were carefully planned in a storyboard. I feel that it is going to be as much about cinematography as the mystery.

It has only 8 episodes so there may be something to that theory.

Given the shorter length, the premiere better be on point.

After HI BYE MAMA finished, I recall an interview KTH did about her comeback series. She said that she felt guilty doing the drama because she was away from her family. I found the tone to be very sad since clearly she enjoys acting. She may have agreed to this series because of its length and 1/2 the shooting time.

This has only eight episodes, because everyone, especially the FL, moves in slow motion. If everyone moved at normal speed, this would be two hour max.

Plus: the FL need A LOT of time to process things, because although they look normal, someone seems to have sucked out their brain. If they did not look to polished /alive, I would think this is a Zombie movie.

I am totally annoyed.

I almost forgot about this amid the hype of those two other weekend premieres. Perhaps this will be a, err, "hidden" hit.

And it's on Viki. Yay!

LIES HIDDEN IN MY GARDEN was totally off my radar. All four leads are blank slates for me dramawise. Cops/crime/mystery is my favorite genre so I am intrigued. It will be available for me on Viki US so it is now on to watch list. A short summer mystery. Perfect (I hope lol).
