Highly anticipated (by me at least) Hyde, Jekyll, Me arrives today and finally ends my worry about similar themes and crowded competition and whatnot. I’m not going to look gift horses in the mouth so there won’t be any complaints from me about one too many Wed-Thurs K-dramas to follow. I love both Hyde, Jekyll, Me and Kill Me Heal … Continue reading →
Today is the premiere of Hyde, Jekyll, Me and I’m succeeding so far in keeping my expectations in check. I’m not even hoping this drama blows me away as long as it keeps my interest and capitalizes on having Hyun Bin as the male lead. He’s capable of delivering so much nuance and intensity all wrapped in that gorgeous physical … Continue reading →
I’ve heard the sentiment echoed that Pinocchio wasn’t nearly as riveting as I Hear Your Voice because the two dramas were similar in theme and style and even more so with the same leading man in Lee Jong Seok. I didn’t watch IHYV so Pinocchio was perfect as a standalone drama for me, but I’m starting to hear and see … Continue reading →
The fourth and latest preview for Hyde, Jekyll, Me is the best yet, showcasing in a short thirty seconds just enough backstory and juicy tidbits to whet my appetite. It’s actually arriving next week now that Pinocchio wraps up tomorrow, turning the Wed-Thurs time slot into a battle of the personality disorders. Unlike Kill Me Heal Me and the main … Continue reading →
I was beginning to despair that Hyde, Jekyll, Me couldn’t or wouldn’t deliver anything with a smidge of pizzaz before the actual drama premiered. Forget my optimism that the actual drama will be interesting on Hyun Bin and Han Ji Min‘s involvement alone, I still want to be swept away by the promos and gushing over the sneak peek visuals. … Continue reading →
The upcoming Hyde, Jekyll, Me is bring promoted like the Hyun Bin–Han Ji Min two person show. I’d probably watch the drama even if it was the Hyun Bin one man show, but it’s a bit of waste to have a full cast consisting of other charismatic actors like Sung Joon and Han Sang Jin without showing a peek at … Continue reading →
Of the two multiple personality K-dramas, Hyde, Jekyll, Me is more of a slow burn in revving up my interest. With that said, it’s still keeping me curious about it as more and more teasers drop with less than two weeks before it airs. Starring Hyun Bin in his first K-drama in four years since Secret Garden, the less is … Continue reading →
The first drama and character posters are out for Hyde, Jekyll, Me right in time to start off the 2015 drama year on a positive note. It all looks good but not great, not that I was expecting great or even needing it to check out this drama. Hyun Bin really is enough to lure to me, and having him … Continue reading →
The two multiple personality K-dramas going head-to-head to start off 2015 won’t be premiering at the same time. Kill Me Heal Me will arrive on MBC on January 7th while SBS airs Hyde, Jekyll, Me (official drama title) two weeks later on January 21st. Leaving the gate earlier doesn’t guarantee KMHM ratings success, but if it does hook the audience … Continue reading →
For awhile it was looking like the upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me would win the time slot competition over fellow multiple personality rival Kill Me Heal Me over on MBC. That drama was looking like a possible DOA what with not being able to lock down a main cast much less start filming. Winning by default isn’t bad but … Continue reading →
Churning out the 2014 year end drama review puts the closing remarks on this year and really starts steering the conversation to what’s coming in 2015. First out of the gate will be exciting to see as two big budget dramas with very VERY similar concepts go head-to-head. It’s fitting then to see both dramas release script reading stills on … Continue reading →
