What can I say about this episode 13 of Hyde, Jekyll, Me? If the screenwriter was aiming for a “how low can I go” race to the bottom, then congrats on succeeding to one-up the drama’s stupidity level with yet another whiz bang episode of underwhelming crap. I’m basically going to treat this recap endeavor as taking one for the … Continue reading →
Another week and another two episodes of Hyde, Jekyll, Me. I actually lost count of where the drama was currently at and needed to be reminded that the next episode coming up is 13. The written and video previews are out, along with two sets of drama stills. One shows a conversation scene between Seo Jin and Ha Na, a development … Continue reading →
Devoid of any narrative context, and frankly there hasn’t been much that has made sense, one of my favorite (if not the favorite) scenes in Hyde, Jekyll, Me so far has got to be the ending scene to episode 10. The moment when Ha Na walks into Seo Jin’s bedroom and he just stares at her. It’s the exact same … Continue reading →
There might be a new sheriff in town, and other than having a snazzier name than bland sounding Robin, he might actually be the missing link in this whole story. Hyde, Jekyll, Me has been underwhelming from the first moment on but those still watching (like me!) have bene holding out for an eventual reward however small. I see a … Continue reading →
I swear my “Ha Na is like Seo Jin’s special tree” metaphor came completely organically. I kept wondering how best to really capture her presence in Hyde, Jekyll, Me (or Hyde, Jekyll, Tree) so far and her stiff and blank facial expressions (or non-expressions) totally landed me in the tree comparison realm. Even better is Seo Jin having an indoor atrium/hothouse … Continue reading →
Proactive and in charge Goo Seo Jin basically rocks my world. If he’s front and center then everything about Hyde, Jekyll, Me gets infinitely better. Episode 11 was a nice episode of conflict development, half of which I care about and the other half necessary to get over some humps. The two personalities sharing one body conundrum takes a turn … Continue reading →
Is anyone else still watching Hyde, Jekyll, Me find the symptoms of the onset of conditioning. I feel like a dog accustomed to disappointment so the tiniest of affection makes me giddy. I can count on one hand the things I like about the drama so far, and it goes like this: Hyun Bin, Seo Jin, Director Gu, Sung Joon, … Continue reading →
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 … Continue reading →
SBS must be letting out a giant sigh of relief, and clearly all the other networks are watching as well because the entire mess with the online streaming licensing in China for the last two months affects the entire K-drama industry. A short refresher – China’s SARFT agency which regulates press, publication, radio, film and television issued a decree that … Continue reading →
This was the most emotional packed episode of Hyde, Jekyll, Me thus far, and luckily doesn’t involve a stupendously fake gorilla escape. The drama works better pared of all the excess trimmings, most of which fall flat or never take off, and instead focus all on the internal struggle between Seo Jin and his guilty conscience. This episode shines because … Continue reading →
Part of the allure of K-drama romances is the tension building even with ordinary couples in relatively mundane situations. Who wants to watch a romance that is devoid of the frisson of excitement, which explains how the current easy peasy Ha Na and Robin are dating reveal falls so flat. Hyde, Jekyll, Me picks up when it dips the first toe … Continue reading →
It’s been a few days downtime since the last episode of Hyde, Jekyll, Me and I’m still pretty stoked about this week’s new episodes all thanks to the injection of bad Tae Joo to the mix. It’s pretty interesting to wonder he has up his sleeve to punish and torment Seo Jin. With his hypnosis expertise he can really do … Continue reading →
For those (still) watching Hyde, Jekyll, Me, the big twist at the end of this week’s episode 8 felt like a much needed jolt to the heart, didn’t it? Revealing that Sung Joon‘s supporting psychiatrist/hypnosis expert was the Big Bad was exactly the thing needed to raise the stakes by giving viewers someone meaty for Seo Jin/Robin to confront rather … Continue reading →
