Hyun Bin returns to dramaland with split personality
by girlfriday
Woohoo, Hyun Bin is returning to dramaland! As a romantic lead with a split… personality…? Okay, I don’t know how I feel about that. The new SBS drama is called Hyde, Jekyll, Me, and is preparing for a January 2015 broadcast. It’s an adaptation of a popular webtoon that began in 2011 called Dr. Jekyll Is Mr. Hyde, a romantic comedy twist on the classic The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Or yunno, it’s Me, Myself & Irene. I’m just going to go out on a limb and guess that a rom-com Jekyll and Hyde means that Hyde is a jerkface, not a murderer, yeah? Let’s hold onto that shred of hope, shall we?
Hyun Bin has signed on to star, after a recent kerfuffle in the last week about him possibly signing on to headline (and vehemently denying) the drama Kill Me, Heal Me, the OTHER romantic comedy drama about a hero with multiple-personality disorder in development over at MBC. Um, now I see why there was such a hubbub, because he got offers to star in two nearly identical dramas. Oy. May the better dissociative-identity-disordered man win, I guess.
Hyde, Jekyll, Me is a 20-episode drama that comes from PD Jo Young-kwang of 49 Days and Yawang, and writer Kim Ji-woon of Alice in Cheongdam-dong. (Writers Kim Young-hyun and Park Sang-hyun, the team behind Queen Seon-deok and Tree With Deep Roots, are attached as well, but only in a creator-producer capacity.)
Hyun Bin will play a third-generation chaebol and director of an amusement park called Wonderland. He’s a curious character who doesn’t drink or gamble, which is fine… but then he also doesn’t drive, exercise, leave the house, or stay out all night. Does he also wear sparkly tracksuits and look down on poor people? Because I think we’ve done quirky chaebol with issues once already.
He also won’t date or marry, and he lives with the trauma from a gruesome childhood accident. As a result, he suffers from multiple personality disorder, with two totally different personas residing in the same body. The classic Jekyll/Hyde types are flipped: Jekyll is the cold, prickly one, described as the “world’s worst man.” And Hyde is the sweet, innocent one, the “world’s nicest man.”
The rom-com setup is basically that one woman falls in love with him (er, them?) and finds herself in a love triangle with his two personalities. Okay, that totally takes the cake as the strangest love triangle ever. I can see why Hyun Bin chose the project as his army-comeback drama, since he gets to showcase his acting chops as two characters in one story. I just wonder if it means we should be rooting for the the nice one to prevail, or just rooting for the heroine to love both Hyun Bins. Mmmmmmmm… two Hyun Bins… *spends rest of day in gutter*
Hyde, Jekyll, Me follows Pinocchio (which follows She’s So Lovable) on Wednesdays and Thursdays starting in January.

I'd love me some Gong Hyo Jin but her agency did mention that she wouldn't be in any projects till next year (arm recuperation, etc) so I highly doubt we would see her in this.
So my next preferable candidate is... Jang Nara (pending description of female lead cos' if it's silly/unrealistic, I wouldn't want her taking it on)!

YAY! Though to be honest I'm more excited about the split personality than Hyun Bin. I respect him as an actor and am assured he'll do this character well, I'm just not on the fan-girl train and I may have a slightly unhealthy fervor for this sort of trope as a would-be-psychologist. I didn't get his appeal in Secret Garden (though he was amusing) but I did when I watched Late Autumn. Anyway, from this writer is it actually gonna be a rom-com or is it gonna be a "rom-com" (i.e. a few funny hi-jinks before it turns mellow on us). I like good mellows--of the mind bendy variety--so I don't mind but my choice for leading lady would change based on that. Are both personalities in love with her? Is he a murder? If he is rather than couching his wrongdoing in trauma let's make it meaty. Or is that asking too much for a network station? Well with this production team at least the visuals will be pretty.

His previous drama ended in Jan 2011. It's been 3 years and 9 months now, but who's counting?
It's been so long, I thought he's gone the route of Won Bin, so this comes as a happy surprise.
2 personalities? I hope he appears in every damned frame!

October 7, 2014 at 5:40 AM
Hmm this maybe either really good or disaster, a hit or a miss. It all depends on how the writer will write the script. I trust than Hyun Bin can pull off the character but good script is also needed for a good drama aside from a good cast. And it got me nervous that the writer of this one is the writer of Alice in Cheongdamdong because I did not like the script of that drama. But I'm still gonna stay positive for now, Hyun Bin won't accept this if the script is bad right?! I mean he had lots of offer and he pick this so it must have been good. Now we need a good female lead and please as much as I'm a KPOP fan, do not cast an idol as of the leads I beg you.

AJ
October 7, 2014 at 7:25 AM
I didn't always love the script of Alice, but I did think it tried to go places and deal with things that a lot of dramas shy away from -- in Korea and elsewhere. And the leads didn't shy away from the unlikable or difficult aspects of their characters. I also thought that those aspects of their characters were realistic, rather than plot devices to create conflict. Which is my long-winded way of saying that both Binnie and the script-writer are selling points for me.

I guess Kill Me ,Heal Me will cast somebody big to match Hyun Bin , i guess Lee Min Ho or Kim Soo Hyun.

Seeing as how there's been alot of rumors it seems like alot of people are cautious to take on Kill me, Heal Me or some people have already turned it down ie. Hyun Bin, in favor of this show instead.
One thing's for sure. There's no way a 20-something yr old actor will be able to portray 7 multiple personalities with nuance and ease over hyun bin's mere 3. That's already a difficult feat. To portray two different personalities and make it believable.
I predict KMHM will end up failing just based off its overly ambitious main character. The acting in this particular theme (mental illnesses) is everything. IOIL has proved me of that.

Oh My Goodness, Finally! Seriously it feels like he completed his military service only to do it another 20 times more before this comeback. I've missed him so much.
The premise sounds totally fun. They know they can't get a second lead anyone would root for if Hyun Bin is their guy, so they just picked him to play against himself. Lol that's smart.
I don't mind this current trend of psychologically challenged main leads. It's at least different even if it'll probably get old soon. If/when MBC gets their man, it'd be interesting if these two dramas go head to head. Unless they get someone amazing, I'm rooting for this all the way.

+ for Shin Mina or Jung Ryeo Won. But no matter who ends up taking the female lead, I'll be happy to watch this because Hyun Bin <3
I'm actually intrigued by the multiple personality plot - I have an appreciation for psychological undertones in a drama, that is if it's done well. Chaebol protagonists are always accompanied by a multitude of behavioural issues, so if we're gonna go there anyway, why not take it to the next level. I believe that Hyun Bin will nicely pull off this type of character. Besides, MPD should allow for interesting subplots in a romantic comedy, I think.

There was an article two days ago that Moon Chae Won received endless love calls in movies and dramas.It says that the three networks-KBS,MBC,SBS are sending the scripts of their main dramas that are up for early next year but it keep on hold because Moon Chae Won carefully looking over it and because of her busy schedule so i believe she will not star in it even if it will offer to her..

I'm excited. I hope the lead actress is an actual actress. Because that'll be fun to watch.

Oh binnie.......... will you really play Secret Garden Part II?
I will take a wait and see approach. Not happy about the 3rd generation chaebol with issues.
3rd gen chaebol means that one love interest must be poor and plucky, and the other love interest must be rich and powerful.... and we've seen that drama already. A few times.
The split personality thing is interesting but why can't Binnie play a split personality thing where he is a salary man and his love interests and competition are also salaried workers? Or make them all poor and plucky.
No more chaebols please. Be different, and not just with what kind of mental / psychological issues you can think up.
And can the leads ALL have two parents for once? The last drama where both members of the OPT had both parents alive was.... when?
That's a nice trivia question.
TRIVIA QUESTION - When was the last rom-com kdrama where both of the alleged OTP had both parents alive? Or has that never happened?

But there's an asterisk to this- there might be 2 sets of parents but all 4 of them are not happy- quality( loving widowed parent) vs (bickering,cheating parents) quantity....

Boys Over Flowers? But I agree with you. Why must every rom-com description start with "he is the whatever generation chaebol ...". What is with Korea's obsession with chaebols?

I guess so, but I think he was presumed dead for much of the series so that doesn't really count from the son's pov since he grew up without a father i guess.

Goong has 2 sets... Sadly, again, the Royal couple had some rough patch...

Well, to be honest, the chaebol-poor girl Cinderella type stories and emotional melodramatic plots are what made kdramas hugely popular around the world. If kdramas were about other things, like working people, they wouldn't be much different from American shows like Gilmore Girls or How I Met Your Mother or Grey's Anatomy or something.

Hello early bday present! I'm so unbelievably excited! Hyun Bin! Ah!!! I don't feel strongly either way about the plot. I'm not familiar with the webtoon, just the original novel but there's a lot of adaptation and variations on that theme. Could be good, could be bad, but either way I'm looking forward to it!

Praying for shin min ah.
I can't even imagine the kind of explosive chemistry they'd have.

If I remember correctly their agency said that Hyun Bin and Shin Min Ah in the same agency so they'll not participate in same project...

Is that some kind of their agency policy? If I remember right, there some instances where actors and actresses of the same agency work on the same project as leads, like Han Hyo Joo and Lee Byung Hun on masquerade.
But IDK, now that you've mentioned it, my dream drama pairing is pretty much impossible.. unless one of them change agency which is highly unlikely.

For a moment there, I was like Jung Il Woo?
Anyway, I'd love to see Jung Ryeo Won in this. Forgot all about their collaboration in MNIKSS, but Jung Ryeo Won post-Salaryman is perfect.

Han Ji Min was in the movie 'Kings Wrath' with him playing his step grandmother (?). How funny would it be if she was cast to play his love interest on this.......LOL.....?

But they would be so pretty together, and we get to see them be pretty together for 20 episodes instead of an hour or two!
