Hyde, Jekyll, Me Made Infinitely Better with Epic 50 Shades of Gu Seo Jin Trailer

Whoever was Hyun Bin’s talented Korean fan that made this fake movie trailer deserves upmost respect. *slow clap* Even though I don’t write about Hollywood entertainment here I still consume plenty of US shows and movies, not to mention staying on top of the latest on dit. The week prior was all about Valentine’s Day and the arrival of the movie adaptation of the bestselling BDSM romance novel Fifty Shades of Grey. As an avid bibliophile this is one trilogy that must be read just to understand how terrible some writers can be, not with the subject matter but with the juvenile prose.

I actually heard Fifty Shades became leaps and bounds better when it was translated into other languages, such as Chinese and Korean, because the translators did a better job at the basic task of choosing fitting words that E.L. James wouldn’t recognize if it bit her on the nose. Sorta like Hyde, Jekyll, Me, there is nothing wrong per se with the story and concept but the screenwriter is just so inept at stringing it all together. Which is why this MV making the hot rounds of all the Korean and Chinese Hyde drama forums is seriously DA BOMB. Behold the beauty that is: 50 Shades of Gu Seo Jin. Remember to bring a fan to fan yourself.

  • That was pretty good. It's like when the fans edited George Lucas stars wars sequel and made it into a descent film.

  • OMG, why are people still calling this chick a writer? Juvenile prose? haha...I wonder if she knows what prose is. I can't believe you read all three and there's plenty wrong with the story. How about dangerous, unromantic, and very not sexy. But, then I can believe the same audience that wanted Sealed With A Kiss to have a sequel (why did they make one?) would just love this. Perhaps we'll see a drama loosely based on it. This fan trailer is awesome,
    I've played it twice

  • Editing, editing, editing! :) I honestly have not read the books so I have no idea just what it is all about. I did see the US hollywood movie trailer somewhere (maybe netflix - not sure). Anyhow, I saw this MV a few days ago and was quite impressed. Me like. But I won't be watching the movie 50 shades. Is it good? I don't really have time to follow.

  • I saw the movie (yep, I can't believe I paid for that thing!) and other than Grey being super hot, it was terrible in the levels of Twilight. The dialogues are so much Blergh, I can't even begin to describe. And the ending was so abrupt that when the lights came on, everyone was so confused and ended up laughing. Oh it's bad alright.

    But this... This is SO awesome! Hyun Bin can never not look hot even if ever he made it his life mission. The guy oozes charisma like no one can!

  • Tried to read these books many, many times. Made it halfway. Just couldn't tolerate the narrative - "My inner goddess" - bs. Ugh so annoying.

    Omg this trailer is so hot!!! Aaaah totally seeing seojin in a different light now. Wish there was mooooore~ *winkwink*

  • Haha, I didn't even want to read the books until I saw the trailer and how hot Jamie Dornan is. Then I read the books and now I understand why I didn't want to read it, it's based off of Twilight fan fiction (which is another series I refuse to read). I mean things like "boy is he hot right now" are just SO cheesy.

  • Man, those books. The first one was an endless cycle of stuff that happened in the first few chapters. Skimmed through the sequels and unbelievably it was the same. Never thought there would be a worse writer than the one who wrote Twicrap - technical incompetence, bad editing, adolescent dialogue. I may be just as naive as ELJ about BDSM, but even I know what she wrote was a load of crap. If she couldn't talk to people who practiced, then she should've at least read & researched. It's like she fantasized/dreamed about the whole thing and wrote three books (three books!!) about it. Oh, wait - her idol writer did that already! Also never thought that people would pay to read and watch the movie.

    As to that fanmade HJM trailer, kudos to whoever made it! That was great.
