SYNOPSIS
Woo Hyun (CHOI SEUNG HYUN) is a Korean creative film director and his project is interviewing someone about their love life ~ whether they believe or not believe in love. He is in Tokyo to finish his film when his interviewee stole his cellphone.
Haruka (UENO JURI) is a heartbroken Japanese woman who went to Seoul to sign up for a contemporary dance class. She sent a text to her ex-boyfriend expecting not to receive a reply but it came to her surprise when she did.
Woo Hyun and Haruka will develop a great friendship over SMS messages even if they speak different languages.

REVIEW
I love short series because it is direct, honest, concise and to-the-point. The story line is refreshing and portrays how technology nowadays has a big impact on our daily lives specially our love lives. That even two people with different backgrounds, has a language barrier and ocean apart can still develop a great friendship that will turn into love. Another reason why I love "The Secret Message" because of my bias (Choi Seung Hyun). 

HIGHLIGHT
The meteor shower blackout date. Great effects! 
First date walking around the city - reminded me of a scene from Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeve's movie "The Lake House". 
Woo Hyun serenaded Haruka. ^_^
