Secret Garden
The president of a department store, Kim Joo-won, possesses every advantage—wealth, good looks, intelligence—but has one fatal flaw: he suffers from claustrophobia. He falls head over heels for Gil Ra-im, a poor stuntwoman, yet struggles to accept the gap in their social statuses. During a location shoot in Jeju Island, Joo-won and Ra-im accidentally stumble into a restaurant called “Mysterious Garden.” That night, both drink a medicinal liquor gifted by the restaurant, and when they wake up, they’ve switched souls and are living in each other’s bodies, leading to a series of humorous events and giving them the chance to “walk a mile in each other’s shoes.” While in Jeju, the characters participate in a bicycle race, and through the lens, the stunning coastal scenery of Jeju is beautifully captured.

You're Beautiful
Go Mi-nyeo, who grew up in a convent, has a twin brother who dreams of entering the pop music scene and is about to become a new member of the idol group A.N.Jell. However, he unexpectedly becomes unable to appear in public for the time being. Mi-nyeo’s manager begs her to disguise herself as a boy and temporarily take her brother’s place to secure this rare opportunity. But the proud and aloof leader of A.N.Jell, Hwang Tae-kyung, strongly resists the new member, though he eventually learns Mi-nyeo’s true identity and reluctantly agrees to help the fake boy navigate the challenges. Meanwhile, the gentle Kang Shin-woo has already figured out Mi-nyeo’s real gender but chooses to secretly protect her. As for Jeremy, who remains unaware, he finds himself troubled by the strange feelings he develops toward Mi-nyeo.
One day, Mi-nyeo reverts to her female form and visits a nun who came from the countryside to Seoul. At Myeongdong—the Myeongdong Cathedral, cosmetic shops, Myeongdong-style dumplings, and even the Body Shop intersection—Mi-nyeo makes her appearance.
