HYDE JEKYLL, ME EP 5-6 DISCUSSION

Plot

Koo Seo-Jin is a third-generation chaebol who has two different personalities. Unlike Seo-Jin's usual cold, cynical and ruthless self, his second personality - Robin, is kind, gentle and has a savior complex. Seo-Jin works as the director of theme park Wonderland.

Jang Ha-Na works as the master and actress of a circus at Wonderland. She vows to save the failing circus, but finds herself butting heads with Seo-jin, who wants to get rid of it due to low ticket sales and high overhead costs. But with every antagonistic encounter with Ha-na, Seo-Jin notes the alarming spike on his heart monitor, and the two become further embroiled with each other.

*I'm really mad we are not getting any performances ;~; The bubbles act isn't gonna cut it.

I hope the writers stop making Ha-Na the damsel in distress, cause it's really tiring to watch.
Right now, I'm always expecting her to fall/faint/slip on a banana/whatever and be saved by one of the two.
*Hyeri's character isn't so annoying after all, well done. Still, confused to why did Sung Joon take up
this drama, cause he doesn't get even a 5min screen time per episode.
*Please, please, please more pretend-acts. That definitely moved the plot forward.
I want to see it both ways; SeoJin-Robin & Robin-SeoJin.

Seo Jin pretending to be Robin gave me life lol.

I hate the whole damsel in distress thing too. But it goes for almost every other Kdrama too so urgh.

Sung Joon ;~; BB, please love yourself better. You deserve a lead role on free channel drama ;~;

i need to watch episode 6 soon but omg it's ratings have tanked. it's like at 5.6%.

i liked the seojin pretending to be robin scenes alot. the drama is still pretty and hyun bin is still charming. hyeri is unnecessary so i ignore her but im glad she's only a bit part.

im mad at sung joon, is he this desperate for work. lord someone stop this boy. he's in the drama for like a minute an episode.

Ha Na is kinda of useless, damsel in distress and the crying scene was def overboard and irritating.

this drama is def a snooze to be honest so i hope it picks up. im so surprised at how well kill me heal me is doing. i thought kill me heal me would be the flop since everyone turned it down.

edit: i love the falling song!!!!

This drama is truly a snooze fest. I gave it up despite fast-forwarding some of the scenes. This is Han Ji Min worst roles do date. She always play a strong women in her dramas but in here, I really hate they make her damsel in distress in every episode. :((

I knew KMHM going to be better when Ji Sung signed up for the role. And Hwang Jung Eum confirmation further proved that its gonna be better -- The Heirs only pick up in rating when Secret ended. Plus, looking at the plot so far, KMHM is more interesting and full of secret/mystery. And, 7 personalities to play with is definitely better than 2 IMO. Not to mention that its hilarious and heartwarming at the same time.

i think im going to give this one up. kmhm was strange but after 3 episodes it got pretty interesting and i enjoy it especially the chemistry of all the leads. im going to try to catch up w/ kmhm, im on episode 6 so i have a few more episodes to go

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Do watch Secret if you have the time. Its Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum drama together back in the year 2013. It had amazing script and very realistic and their chemistry in the drama is very overwhelming. The drama has very complex male leads so you will have a good time watching how not everything is black and white like other kdramas out there.

im planning on it! i have a tiny list of quality dramas i need to watch like the slave hunter one with jang hyuk and secret. plus bride mask. i need to stop wasting my time with mediocre dramas with ppl i love.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Oh yes! The Slave Hunter with Jang Hyuk is soooo good esp since he's looking mighty fine with all those abs, out-of-world fighting scenes and emotional acting. You gonna love those since his side kicks are awesome too. Though the drama scarred me for life and I can't really listen to the soundtrack since its hella heartbreaking and make my heart ache. And dont forget Tree With Deep Roots since that drama has just one of the best scripts and Shin Se Kyung's acting was actually above average in that one which I truthfully didnt expect.

And yesss to Bridal Mask. Man, I watched that live and the drama makes me on the edge of my seat in every damn episode. Joo Won was great in it! I stopped watching mediocre dramas even when there're people I like in it. I learned it the hard way but I guess I just cant put my brain at the door when I watch my dramas. It boggles my mind how Lee Minho can act in The Heirs after the amazing City Hunter and Faith. :'('''

[agoongprincess.livejournal.com]

Lee Min Ho was the first actor I mass watched all his dramas. Half were good the other half were bad, I'm excited for whatever he picks this year and for 1970 to come out with subs so I can watch it. I must support the original bae.

[quore.livejournal.com]

is this drama worth watching? i'm only asking bc the first gif photoset the op posted looks cute and i don't wanna be fooled if the drama is bad lol

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

If you like Hyun Bin's pretty face and boyish charm when he's Robin, yes. I personally prefer KMHM but I love Hyun Bin so...

[baddiemey.livejournal.com]

maybe on mute, and only while hyun bin's face is on screen.

[tokyocinema.livejournal.com]

Hyeri is basically unnecessary, Hana annoys me, Seo-Jin has royally pissed me off to the point where I don't even think I want to finish. I want to like this drama but holy crap...

Sung Joon's face keeps me hanging on tbh

[wi-arae.livejournal.com]

I can only focus on that god awful nose :/

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

if it wasn't for hyun bin, the ratings will be lower. this drama is totally focused on the male lead (which is a shame because ha ji min could help so much).

we had our moments with seo jin trying to be robyn, but the plot is so thin that I don't know how they'll keep the story interesting considering that we're still in the first part of the drama...

Just started, marathoned 1-6. This show finally got good this week.
SJ&R carry the show, and I wish it was just about them.
lol @ SJ being mad that she stopped his suicide.

I was telling a friend that this show would have been perfectly find or even better if it had just been about a pair of twins. It doesn't need the psychology stuff.

Also my Chinese friend LOVES HJ&M (aka Hyun Bin) while hates KMHM (she hates the female lead). SO even as the lesser drama HJM will do great in it's target market.
