First preview for split personality rom-com Hyde, Jekyll, Me
by girlfriday
Happy new year! It’s a brand new year with a whole new crop of dramas ahead and no time to waste. Here’s our first peek at SBS’s upcoming Wednesday-Thursday drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me, starring Hyun Bin in his long-awaited drama comeback as a man with a split personality, and Han Ji-min as the woman who’s stuck in the unfortunate love triangle with both of them. Of course the two personalities happen to be the nicest man in the world and the rudest man in the world. Gee, guess which guy we’re rooting for.
Hyun Bin plays the prickly chaebol CEO of an amusement park, and we watch as he steals a balloon from a little girl, declares that balloons will be forbidden for the day, and then points to the dancing balloon clown to add, “No dancing either!” Ha. What’s a killjoy doing running an amusement park, anyway?
Han Ji-min plays the leader of a circus troupe who’s struggling not to get her act cut from the park’s roster, and she fights with Hyun Bin to be given a chance to stay. He kicks her to the curb without so much as a second glance, so then she sets out to make him change his mind, eventually leading to hijinks and love. For now he seems impervious to her charms, but the preview only hints at the nice personality, which hasn’t come into play yet.
The teaser introduces the two Hyun Bins and asks, “Can’t they both be mine?” LOL. Hey, I was thinkin’ it. Han Ji-min shakes the crazy thought out of her head and tells herself: “Get it together!” Lucky for you this is dramaland, and you get to have your cake and eat it too. Nom nom nom.
Hyde, Jekyll, Me follows Pinocchio in mid-January.

I'm happy that he's back.. but for some reason Hyun Bin is not doing it for me anymore. lol He's lost his sex appeal, and the haircut is killing me!
Please make it go away. :(

I LOVE it! Hyun Bin always bring a new look for each of his dramas and i really love this about him. He doesn't really care about looking like a pretty boy, Kpop style like some actors seem to do these days, HB simply creates a look that will make his characters stand out and boy do they stand out! Like Joo Won on Secret Garden, in the beginning many people were calling his look ugly and anorexic but when that drama ended, almost every guy had Joo won's haircut on other dramas. He creates trends and doesn't follow them! My favorite type of actors. I like the chemistry between him and HJM too from what i've seen so far.

Right there with you -- I think he looks for the the right look for the character and then you fall for the character. I remember in the early stages of Secret Garden I completely missed his appeal until the character came into focus.

Me too, I like his haircut, something different and perhaps its part of his character personality.
I'm looking forward to the drama. He left the drama scene when he was in his 20s for, he returns in his 30s. There should off course be a change in his personality and the way he interprets his drama characters. Secret Garden is my top favourite. Good that he is trying something new.
Well as for HMKM, I'm not interested. Ive dropped Ji Sung's previous drama after a few episodes. I'm not impressed at his acting, not at all.

I like it. Don't really see what's there not to like unless you're one of those who has a problem with undercuts for whatever reason. I think it's a nice style, though. Looks clean/prim and is versatile.

I'm a Binnie fan and I agree with Every comment above, i.e. except for "I never got his appeal". ;)
At first glance, his haircut and glasses for the Mr. Hyde personality seemed so severe and nerdy that they made his look Unappealing. (I wouldn't go so far as to call Hyun Bin "hard to look at").
But then, if you take a sec to think about it, here he has to play 2 polar opposite personalities, make them easily distinguishable from each other, and from other personalities that he has played b4, notably his previous one that made such a deep impression on audiences (albeit not favorably on DB).
In KDs, the look is often part of the char. We aren't supposed to like Mr. Hyde, so why would he (they) give us a look to swoon over on an evil char?
Well, as for the nice guy, he has a smile from ear to ear, wears a white sweater to suggest his innocence. Undercut hair is in vogue, but is not liked by everyone. I bet his hair style will change some as the drama n his healing get going.
Thank u @jane, for reminding us what kind of serious actor Hyun Bin is. In an interview he did after King's Wrath, he said he trained 3 months just to get those back muscles so well defined that when he had to do a scene with the camera on his bare back, it'd exude Wrath. Surely that kind of actor, w his current standing, wouldn't go into a army comeback project w/o giving serious thought to his hair style and glasses.
Looking forward.

Was never really a fan before, but after Secret Garden with Ha Ji Won (great chemistry) I started to really like him. If you all remember his movie "I am happy" his appearance isn't appealing either, however his portrayal of the character was on par. I like that every drama/movies he was on, you can differentiate all the characters he played. Am pretty sure, there's a reason why his hairstyle is displayed like that, due to different personalities he has to portray. Really looking forward what he has to offer on this new drama. Aja!!! :)

I love the hair too. Maybe some people have been watching too many k-dramas and k-pop songs so hair must always cover forehead?
I think it's unique and is a hairstyle that would be common for British olden kind of dramas. That's what I think anyway.
I hope the drama's story is solid and Hyun Bin kills it. Binnie fighting!

They showed this in the SBS awards yest! Maybe it's just me but it gives the YFAS vibe which is the best feeling a drama can ever give before airing. I need something half as good as that. Pronto.
Not a fan of the hair but I'll take it over no Hyun Bin. His character does have shades of Joo-won from SG and I'm not completely sold on the chemistry just yet even if it's quite cute. But either way, I'm so excited I could burst. Best way to welcome 2015!

Looks promising to me. I will also be watching Kill me Heal me, since Park Seo Joon is a new favorite and I want to give support to a new and talented actor, selfishly wanting to see more of him in the future ( you can interpret that any way you wish ).

I am in the minority who thinks Hyun Bin is an average actor with an average look, never saw his appeal & this is certainly not improving my opinion, also I think Ha Ji min pretty much kills every freaking drama she's in, her face is forgettable & same goes for her acting
Why am I commenting this? Just to see if there are people who actually share my opinion, because seriously, a lot of kdrama watchers are anticipating his comeback project like it’s some kind of a wonder

Totally agree with you. It's good to see someone who thinks the same actually like you said. I don't get his popularity. I wasn't impressed by him in Secret Garden, don't think he's a good actor (but no hate here, just my opinion). And yeah don't get all the hype over this drama, looks kinda boring with no originality and cliché as hell (based on the trailer but we'll see). I think Keal me heal me with Ji Sung has more potential, and Ji Sung who may be less popular is a waaaaaay better actor than HB, one of the best in Korea for me (was really impressed by his acting skills in Secret and Swallow the Sun and basically everything he's in actually, the type of actor that can act just with the eyes). And as for HJM, yeah i think she was horrible in Rooftop prince, haven't seen her in anything else.

Thanks God I'm NOT ALONE!! I was beginning to question my taste LOL!
I gave the guy the benefit of doubt by watching the super-mega-hyped Secret Garden & ended up really puzzled over what's the fuss was about?! The character was very intriguing but in my opinion HB added nothing to his appeal, it was mainly the writing, not that the drama was well written it's just that he had the best liners
Ji sung I am yet to watch something he's in (I am planning on watching Protect the boss & take it from there if I happen to fall for his acting!)
I watched HJM in Capital Scandal & Cain & Abel & dropped them both halfway through the drama, the reason was the poor plot but also because her acting was almost painful to watch
I am more movie oriented when it comes to Korean Entertainment so when I watch the likes of Ha Jung Woo, Kang Song Ho, Choi Min Sik, Ryoo seung-ryong & Ryoo seung-bum ( to mention a few) I become really harsh while evaluating the acting

Haha i think we don't need to question our tastes!! the others should lol just kidding, evryone has different taste so yeah i'm okay with that. I actually didn't finish Secret Garden. You should definitely watch Secret with Ji Sung, it became my all time favourite. And if you're more a movie watcher then you should also watch Confession/Good friends (2014) with Ji Sung. And i know some of the gyus you mentionned so yeah i understand what you mean

January 2, 2015 at 7:52 AM
Agreed, it's a matter of taste, although I think acting skills can be more measurable than say looks or charismas which both are more taste oriented
Anyway, thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely give this one a try!
The guys I mentioned are seasoned actors but I’m aware that they are not very well known to drama viewers, fun fact: I find it weird & funny how my teenage niece & I both are Kdrama addicted but when we discuss our respective watch lists & favorite actors, we don't know any of each other's! lol!

He's okay but not great actor. Jo In Sung is much better than him in terms of acting even though I don't find Jo IN Sung appeal too. If he has no dimples, I don't think people will notice him LOL. Story looks usual as other dramas. I think I'll choose Kill Me Hill Me with Ji Sung instead.

Sorry (no offense). I don't find JIS that great. That psychiatric character, he had simply over acted. In another recent drama he moved around as tho he was doing a CF. His earlier works were a little better.
You are presumptious to say that nobody will notice HB if not for his dimples. Thats really hilarious. You may not know, I for one do not find his dimples that appealing. Im drawn to him more by his acting.
Just go ahead to watch whatever you like. Dramas are meant to entertain and help us relax. Don't force yourself to watch anything that cause you pain or get you agitated over something like the look of an actor. Its not worth the time.
By the way, this article is about J & M. I'm surprised that people not interested in it are coming here to scream at it. They are indirectly promoting the drama by giving it so much interest and attention. That's good.

Kill me Heal me and Hyde Jekill and me...
KMHM has good promising teasers, the drama has HUUUGE budget, it starts 2 weeks early than HJandM, it has famous good writer and director and intriguing plot . The chances that KMHM will be The Drama of the year are very high.
HJandM has bad teaser, bad writer and mediocre director, boring plot. The chance that it will be good drama tends to zero...This noise is from Hyun Bin's and Han Ji Min's fans who are very exited about their return to Dramaland after 4 years...
Fatima, Dall and others Ji Sung's fans: Don't worry about competition!

You seem only interested in being negative which is weird to me and anyone who seriously thinks Hyun Bin cant act, doesn't know a damn thing about acting, sorry. I'm American and i've watched MANY Korean dramas and movie and i can honestly say Hyun Bin is one of the best actors in this Korean indsutry based on what i'v seen. He is very expressive and nail every emotion right based on his lines and stories. I love how he seems like a serious actor and doesn't seem interested in the shallow kpop scene. He could easily make it outside of South Korea if he wanted to.

So... HJM is pretty and they always make her ugly - but I'm liking her style, hair color and all. Just hope she doesn't overacts. HB is good - but not awesome and the plot always help him. I for once don't think Secret garden is some of "epic - legendary drama" far from it. It looked good in the first episodes but then the powerful main girl turned into a weak character and HB character bossed her around, always being a jerk and everyone thought it was romantic - and they and HW's character fells for it. What ? What was romantic about secret garden ?? Even sexual harrassment it had, and everyone was "romantiiic" cringe. Big time.

As Ive said before, I dont undesrtand the fuss about Ji Sung in this thread meant for J & M. I would not have bothered to offer my view on him if he has not been brought in here. To me, Ji Sung's acting is passable. And that last drama, isnt it about standard fare -cheating, lying, someone trying to get rich and turn into a chaebol and so on. So having a chaebol character in a drama is not worthy, its a joke while having a character trying to cheat his way to be a chaebol is fantastic. Sori. dont get it, drop it. Cringe.
Secret Garden is not simply a romantic drama, okay. Its fantasy, romance, comedy, all rolled into one. Off course we would not enjoy it if we look out only for the romance part, leaving out the fantasy and comedic elements. Too bad if people don't enjoy it and have taken the storyline seriously when a great part is fantasy, make-believe. Amazed its still in the limelight and debated after so many years.

Your comment about Secret (JS's last drama) is so stupid that i won't even bother commenting on that. I'll just conclude that it's not for everyone, but it doesn't change the fact that the cast in this drama was flawless. And yeah people come on this thread just because they are curious what's all this hype about. And they talk about JS just because he's in the drama airing at the same time. Nothing wrong with comparing. HB played it safe by picking this drama for his much awaited comeback, nothing challenging. And you can say what you want, but Ji Sung IS a great actor. You may not like him, but don't even try all this "ji sung's acting is passable" thing please.

Off course I can say what I want, you can do so too. Have you not read my comment carefully, Ive said "TO ME, JS is ........". That is a personal opinion. Go read again before you get jumpy by a mere view which differs from yours. Am I not entitled to say what I think. Does it mean that only your views hold true. Isnt it stupid. You are just a drama fan like me. My response to your "don't even try saying JS's acting is passable" is don't even try to say "its a FACT .... drama is flawless, JS is a great actor". Your view is not a "fact", its an opinion which is subjective. Have you not heard, to each his own.
I don't profess to know whether the role is challenging or safe. How challenging is challenging. What is challenging. How do we define it. I don't intend to harp on this big 'challenging' word as tho I know.

I am almost finished watching the sweet and lovely drama Snow Queen. In it, Hyun Bin will break your heart and his character is very honorable, and therefore a laudatory hero. I don't know why this show was not popular. It's by the same director that did Winter Sonata, Autumn Concerto and Spring Waltz, gorgeous pieces of work and very romantic. And although, Hyun Bin is not that handsome to me, he posses a very beautiful profile and one of the best noses in Kdramaland (lol).

I think its too early to say how bad or good the drama will turn out as it doesn't air yet, but so for now I'm willing to give them a chance (maybe will watch a couple of episodes first, if good then I'll continue to watch, if not I'll drop 'em like I did with LOTs of other dramas) Same goes to KMHM.
On the other note, guys, there's no need to say who is better than who as this is a pointless argument which only cause fanwar between fans of the actors/actress.
Besides people preference about what kind of acting styles they like differs from one another. Thus there's no need to bash other people favourite actor/actress style of acting/talent.

am down to the last few eps of HJM and I must say that I wasn't very optimistic about it , what with HB's very severe Goo Seo Jin look and Robin's somewhat goofy naïve personality. However, the HB magic took over midway. the thing with HB is that you have to let him grow on u! he was the hottest in my name is kim sam soon and honestly, he ain't one of the most handsome guys in the S Korean acting industry but he is very very charismatic in whatever role which he plays. and he is totally believable as Robin and Goo Seo Jin. looks aside, he is someone who fully immerses himself in his roles and delivers each and every time . this is the first drama of his which I watched since he left the army and I am still a fangirl! even I'm not crazy over HJM. the weakest part of HJm was the lack of chemistry between the leads, I felt.
