Hyde, Jekyll, Me (2015)

If someone else exists inside me… Then I hope it’s someone better than myself.

Hyde, Jekyll, Me Synopsis : Gu Seo Jin is a third-generation chaebol who runs the theme park Wonder Land. He seemingly has everything — looks, brains, and fortune. But a traumatic incident in his childhood resulted in Seo Jin having a split personality — one is a cold, ruthless man, while the other is the polar opposite, someone kind and gentle. Because of this, he vows never to date or marry. Seo Jin wants to get rid of the circus show at Wonder Land due to low ticket sales and high overhead costs, but he butts heads with circus master Jang Ha Na. Ha Na insists on saving the failing circus and dreams of revamping it back to its former glory. She soon finds herself falling for both of Seo Jin’s personalities. (Source: MyDramaList)

• The series was good and it has its own story, so don’t compare it with Kill Me, Heal Me.
• I cannot say that the drama was perfect but it was not bad afterall. It had a little of everything: mystery, bad guys, humor and romance.
• Sung Joon was very good and he was really convincing.
• Hyun Bin was Hyun Bin. He was a great actor and he did well in portraying Seo Jin and Robin as different personality.
• Overall, it was a very enjoyable drama, and I’d definitely recommend it, but advise to be open-minded when trying it out.

My Rating – 8.5/10

INSPIRING K-DRAMA QUOTES FROM HYDE, JEKYLL, ME

• The biggest challenge in life is for the two hearts to live in peaceful co-existence.
• The reason for human beings’ misery is because our capacity for memory is better than that of an animal. Only human beings obsess over their past.
• Life is sometimes full of things outside your control.
• If misfortune doesn’t come by itself, we also do not have to face that misfortune alone.
• What I need right now is the courage to directly face my pain.
• Don’t try to blame the pain on anyone… Blaming others won’t erase the pain.
