SBS new Wednesday-Thursday series Hyde, Jekyll, Me today was a good start, with strong character introductions, a mystery and a touch of whimsy. As expected, it is the Hyun Bin Show, but he has not disappointed to be managing funny, grumpy, cpl, and swoony all in one episode.
I'm pretty happy with this presentation drama of the premise, split personality, because it is rooted in an interesting main character, and more importantly, because it is the flip-flops, the Hyde Jekyll expectations that the dormant personality is the monster inside. This drama asks What if the Hyde, Jekyll wants to keep absolutely hidden, in fact, each beautiful, wonderful, amazing what about him?

EPISODE 1 RECAP
overhead shot takes us through the world of Wonderland, an amusement park, where children laugh and play, decorated every corner in colored lights. makes a child with a red balloon heart in hand and runs smack dab into a stone-faced man who cold the balloon knocked from his face and send them in the rafters flies overhead.
child cries as the man the balloon watch and noticed suddenly begin to shake the giant mirror ball mounting head. he sees in alarm down to see a woman, right in the way on foot, and at the last second he grabs it out of the way, and they go sliding on the ice rink below, such as the giant mirror ball crashing behind them.
he wakes with a start-up. it was a dream ... or was it?
This is our hero, GU SEO-jin ( Hyun Bin ), which, as he sits in bed and crawling on his glasses rattled looks , They are super hi-tech glasses that give him a digital reading of his pulse, along with other biometrics. His rapid heartbeat seems to him freak out more than the dream itself.
He gets out of bed (omg what are those crazy pants, and why you see better in them than I would?) And goes through his palatial house walk in his greenhouse garden meditating. He sings, he breathes, he clings the necklace he wears (which seems to be in the shape of the Big Dipper), but he does not seem happy with how fast his heart is still beating. Something tells me about meditation stress is not an effective strategy, but what I know.
Seo-jin secretary hurries him to find while. On the phone with Seo-jin doctor chatting Clearly other people as well as connected to its biometric warnings because Chief Secretary Kwon approaches with trepidation wondering if he's okay.
Seo-jin remains calm, as he finished his morning yoga, is secretary Kwon that his pulse is normal again, to confirm and then rips his monitor , After showering (thank squander no time with the necessary army abs!), He is quick to put the power back on, and the concerns that it is the first time in five years that its numbers have been high this.
Secretary Kwon says that as long as they remain under 150, they are safe. But Seo-jin, he says did go more than 150 ... in his dream. He looks in the mirror and adds: ". It was not me"
His chauffeur comes, secretary Kwon whispers, like they head to and wondered if he saw Robin in his dream. Seo-jin snaps, "Do not talk about that bastard."
At the airport a woman comes and spends her time on the treadmill a little girl a show magic trick. This is our heroine JANG HANA ( Han Ji-min ), and it lights up when it passes by a sign advertising Wonderland.
It turns out that Seo-jin is the boss at the theme park, and he makes his morning rounds with a team of security guards scurrying behind him. He holds in his tracks at the sight of a stray balloon to fly at him, remembers his bad dream. He catches and refuses to give it to the little girl back to make them cry.
He barks at Secretary Kwon that balloons are prohibited for the day, and forbids anything even remotely balloonish-inflatable dancing clown the spinny hot air balloon, driving-without concern for lost revenue.
A group of children, the red heart balloons grabs his attention, and Seo-jin keep the man grins, which is with them. This is a kind of publicity stunt for Wonder Group, the chaebol conglomerate that owns the theme park, and Seo-jin faces the man to speak to him in banmal.
His name is Ryu Seung-YEON ( Han Sang-jin ), and all that we now know is that his CEO title Seo-jin is equal, and they dislike greatly different. Seo-jin asks if he got a permit for this event, and kicks it out of the park, to confiscate all the balloons.
Seung-yeon yawns: "You are forbidden balloons In an amusement park?" Seo-jin snipe only back that this is his amusement, and the balloon to give him a bad feeling. Seo-jin calls this stunt ridiculous and says that he is bad for the children feel used, and notes sarcastically. "You know, I have a weak heart" Hur.
When they leave, Seo-jin decides to good use tens of thousands of children to invite to the park. Secretary Kwon guesses exactly what his intention is to show, to Seung-yeon in their never-ending pissing contest.
Since the tram takes Seung-yeon removed a stray red balloon flies in the sky. Uh-oh, it's the bad omen that Seo-jin was afraid. And on cue, someone starts screaming in the distance.
Seo-jin to whips and his eyes widen behind him a part ... like a giant gorilla (seriously?) To the amount seen stomping down the main dam. Each runs screaming, and a woman takes Seo-jin to grab his arm and screaming her head to do something for him.
But he is frozen only on the spot. He is so frightened that he can not move, and looks at the woman about how she's crazy. He tried out his arm to pry, and if they will not let go, he bites his arm down freely to squirm.
HA and then he pushes her way to the ground directly in King Kong, time to run away from him like a coward to give. His security team surrounding him while crawling on the roof of a street stall, and secretary Kwon hastens to give it to him headphones.
set upSeo-jin race against his racing heart to the headphones and meditate, and it's pretty funny King Kong run around and scare people, while the placement plays track.
Hana can be seen from Wonderland in traffic one block, and she mentioned to hear in a radio broadcast concessions to the park. At the same time, Seung-yeon gets a call from one of the workers in the park, the reports with a satisfied grin that Seo-jin seconds away from fainting.
Seo-jin manages to get his heart rate down and King Kong cling to face. Now that he calmed down, he asks for the walkie-talkie and ensures that safety and animal control teams are on the way.
you looks pretty scared, and a guy who fires a tranquilizer dart with perfect precision ... only it bounces directly to the King Kong chest. Uh, what? That pisses only the gorilla, and it starts right at Seo-jin charges.
Suddenly a voice calls out, "Bing Bing!" The Gorilla runners a halt and the amount parts Hana, waving and calling Bing Bing to show how they are friends. The gorilla turns around and starts at full speed for Hana runs, and Seo-jin realizes that his heart rate suddenly shoots into the danger zone.
he asks what happened, and starts convulsing and retching. The Gorilla goes for Hana and takes a flying leap directly to her, and Seo-jin's heart rate spikes, almost at 150
But then he heard the laughter, and looks at the gorilla dancing in circles around Hana to see the smiles and dancing. Immediately pulse Seo-jin slowed, and he wonders what's wrong with him.
He goes into his office and pulls his heart rate monitor and says Secretary Kwon to get it fixed, because it must be broken. If he says he approached 150 right now, take a step back and secretary Kwon asks suspiciously, "Robin?"
Seo-jin growls and tells him not to overreact, but Secretary Kwon sneaking a taser from his pocket and asked what they had for lunch yesterday. Seo-jin rolls her eyes, but says she had bibimbap and secretary Kwon lunges with the Taser, are only remembered that he is the one who misremembering.
It is particularly amusing because Secretary Kwon to Robin speaks in banmal, and switches in a hurry, the second he realizes his mistake, to jondae back.
Secretary Kwon believed that Seo-jin puts the heart rate, because he was afraid, but Seo-jin says that's the confusing part-he was only the 130s up when he was in immediate danger, but it was not until the gorilla in the mystery woman was lunging, he at 148. he went decides that this is in her, and asks to be brought to him for it.
[1945010einReporterInterviewsHanaüberdenGorillaschreckenOutside] and it is as the daughter of the late circus troupe leader of one of the last remaining circuses in the country. Asks the reporter to please the fact that Wonderland is not able to reconstruct the cages after several requests to do from the circus.Secretary Kwon she comes to interrupt and take Seo-jin, to see, and because it has just arrived, it has been informed that he is the boss. Seo-jin belt his monitor back on as Hana is in his office, and it presents itself as the new leader Wonder Circus.
He only saw them staring without a word, and then all of a sudden it tears itself. Very close as kissing distance, without so much as a word of explanation. She squirms and asks what the hell he's doing, but he just keeps on and looking directly into the eyes.
What he really see is his heart rate, of course, and grins that lopsided grin, pleased that it must've been a coincidence. It does not his heart race more, and he rattles only his current physical condition aloud as if they did not there.
Hana grows increasingly excited, especially when he dismisses them simply. You want to talk about the gorilla, which he sort of like an afterthought, remembers and cuts it easy with off: ". The circus is fired"
She argues that he can not fire them if they have a contract, but he replies that the circus anyway brings no money, so they the pay fee to break the contract better deal in the long run.
but Hana be denied so easily thrown out, and says Seo-jin, that the miracle Circus part of this park is history, it was played there at the beginning in 1975, and to make her father a large part of Wonderland, what it is today.
requiring that he said suck back everything he take over the circus, and it's annoying as it takes everything they asked back, but with zero sincerity behind his words. Hana says she came from Cirque du Soleil and has all sorts of plans to update the circus act and to do better, and Seo-jin encourages them to do just that, ... anywhere but here.
Hana asks how a person can decide so monumental just the drop of a hat something and Seo-jin says blatant pragmatism, he is someone who can , She leaves his office fuming mad. Secretary Kwon brings the first heart rate monitor back and reported that there is nothing wrong, and Seo-jin wonders if maybe it was just the Gorilla, after all.
Hana trudges back to the circus associated with their shoulders and overhears her troupe members worrying about whether they will be on the road. The oldest of them, sighs that his boy has some new tutoring thing to pay, and another of them says that when Seo-jin it fires your throat get through that super embarrassing releases video of him during the Gorilla incident ,
gives an idea Hana and asks for the video. Moments later, Seo-jin is watching the video with a look of horror on his face. There is a woman in the gorillas path pushing him like a huge wimp, and he stammers, "II did not know that it was so bad ... that I saw the ... pathetic."
he looks close to tears as he trembles and watched the video on repeat, and Hana goes from complacent unfortunately quite quickly. She says that she would not go so far, and that it will have a natural reaction when you are afraid. All they want is a new contract and the video will disappear, and Seo-jin calls for a new contract with immediate effect be drawn up.
He asks her alone for a moment, still desperately looking, and tries to pry the phone out of his hands. But he's just so excited and focused on the thing that she decides to tiptoe and gives him a moment.
Secretary Kwon shows her the new contract he'll soon bring about, and Hana returns to its troops with the good news. They are all skeptical, because they have been dealing directly with Seo-jin for awhile now, and he's not the type to cave so easily. The cutie pie maknae (named Eun-chang) argues that Seo-jin is a sociopath who does not have one ounce of sympathy or compassion.
The unni who has the video with Hana Seo-jin sits down to discuss, to have collected not know much about him other than the rounding of his ass. Lol. Hana found him to be surprisingly ruefully, such a jolt during unni says that the most appealing thing about bad boys right girl, they are the most beautiful man in the world. Hana mocks that this is ridiculous.
In Seo-jin office, secretary Kwon another for missing the fact Timpani gets that it was an act, and he has no plans to sign a new contract. Seo-jin just wanted to hold the phone so he could delete the video and secretary Kwon curves, as he sees it, sighing in relief that it is not all over the internet.
Seo-jin asks defensively why it would matter. He replied that this is not about chivalry-is because , it is a woman, that he had to bite them on the arm to get. He asks Secretary Kwon if he has forgotten why it is that he is like a zombie alive, and remind him of the rules ( "with a body like that!"): No women, no skinship, no agitation, no desire otherwise his heartbeat goes out of control.
OH. Oh, you think you can not ... excited . Suddenly in my heart it will find sympathy for you to feel. Seo-jin finally says what he say bluntly, was not: When his heart rate over 150 is
Secretary Kwon reaction tells us that this would be a frightening development, "That bastard Robin appears.". He cries that this can not happen, especially after all the effort Seo-jin has been to put control is maintained, practically live like a saint.
Seo-jin his fist slams into the table, "like a saint! You mean, really, really a saint!" He does not talk about good deeds either, and sighs that he is a man. Poor, frustrated sidekick.
Hana shares all their ideas with the troops on the circus act modernization to be a great musical performance stage, and they are to start all eager grateful that it is to come back at a time when they really need. But she heard commotion in their theater and find the people to tear it to vacate the order. The phone comes sans returned them embarrassing video, and Hana realizes that she has been played. Behind her, muttering the maknae Eun-chang that Seo-jin is two-faced.
Of course, they have no idea how close to the truth, which is, and we cut Dr. KANG HEE-AE ( Shin Eun-jung ) give a lecture on the split personalities an example of Primal Fear and the real case of Billy Milligan. Dr. Kang explains how early trauma to the creation of alternative personalities can result in mind what. To a dissociative identity disorder, where it is possible to have a personality no memory of the actions of the other, even in the same body
after the lecture, Dr. Kang checked their voicemail and alarmed to hear an emergency message from Seo-jin. He finally relaxes when she called him back, and she tells him to hear, because it has good news: It is a method of treatment found that is safe for him. He asks if it could be dangerous as the time they tried five years ago, but she assures him that it will be different: "You'll be free, Gu Seo-jin." He lit, really moving, and crashes go personally to see her.
Hana shows up just in time to try to get in the way when he is in a big hurry Dr. Kang to see, so SEO jin tells her to get and then his driver says without taking them off. That just makes them more determined to ruin his day but, and she follows him into a taxi.
Dr. Kang draws her notes on Seo-jin case who gives us the exposure comfort we need. He is a patient with dissociative identity disorder, having an alternate personality named Robin. Robin appeared 15 years ago first, and she says that most patients have a fierce Hyde to Jekyll their rational, Gu Seo-jin and Robin are the opposite.
A mysterious visitor in a long black coat out Dr. Kang unannounced, and when he enters her office, she quickly closes Seo-jin case file. We never get to see Long Black Coat face.
Hana follows Seo-jin all the way to the hospital where he just waves his chauffeur keep her from them to him. She calls him that this is not his country and she can walk step, wherever they want, but the driver indicated that in fact, Seo-jin, the hospital also owns.
There is clearly a big deal that Dr. Kang has found another method of treatment that she is sure that this time will work, but Seo-jin douses his face with water in the bathroom and says not make to his hopes.
He walks down the hall toward Dr. Kang down office when a crazy sight catches the eye: it's Hana, from one building to another in the air cross on a zip line. This is your way of a foot on the property setting? Fittingly, he calls her crazy.
She climbs her way into an open window with an apology for the intrusion ... but when she sees herself, she finds Dr. Kang dead (or just unconscious?) and bleeding on the floor, surrounded by broken glass. Eep.
Worse, her attacker is still in the room. Ack, ruuuun! That's exactly what Hana doing, and Seo-jin rounds the corner her running for her life by a masked man in black to see (and it seems that this is another man in black, not Long Black Coat).
Seo-jin immediately turns around and runs and reaches the lift before directly. His heart rate rises dangerously high, as he looks back out to Hana, but also when it reaches close the elevator before the doors, he intentionally it expresses. Dang.
He fights his heart all the time to breath and clutching, but even if he is out of immediate danger, his heart rate is only higher if the attacker is doing after. Just like the Gorilla moment.
The closing elevator doors, and soon Seo-jin is overtaken by his palpitations. He falls to his knees and clutches at his throat in pain, gasping for breath. His last thought is: "No!" When his head falls limp.
The Hitman takes Hana on the eaves, where he keeps them on the edge, choking them. Your last thought: "Save me, someone ..."
Back in the elevator, Seo-jin fingers twitch and he suddenly stands up. He skips the jacket, the tie, the heart monitor and the glasses. The camera pans slowly to his feet, a very different man-this revelation is Robin, of his collar open, which keeps hidden under his clothes Big Dipper necklace that otherwise carries Seo-jin especially.
He goes on the floor and looking out the window Hana is strangled out on the ledge, and running to see them. Although he pull away with a quick movement creates the Hitman, it also sends the bar fly Hana.
to fall in slow motion, and he takes in a great hero run away. Suddenly so very hot.
I wholeheartedly him assume to catch them, but it is too far out of reach, and he is not afraid, a blow to over the edge after its launch. It almost looks like they fly, and they fall for me slow enough to ask if he's crazy.
He has snapped into a hug in midair, and they end up with a surplus, ohthankgoodness, into the lake below. He weighs gently in his arms, and Hana opens her eyes and looks up to see him before he made.
She wakes a few hours later in hospital, with their circus members head seizure. She's fine, but do not remember how she got here, and remembers the slow hazy memory come here and Dr. Kang to discover the body.
ask your friends how they got into the lake, and it is surprising to learn that it was not a dream.
Seo-jin shakes in his hospital bed, as secretary Kwon him nervous, it says six hours since he left the hospital. His last memory is of the elevator doors closing after he pushes away Hana, and his heart rate reached 150. Thereafter, he has no idea what happened, and that thought frightened him.
He gnaws on his finger and asks, "could it be ... Robin" Secretary Kwon yet confirmed that it is nothing to say already, jumps, but then at him curiously Hana enters the room and looks. She asks gently: "Was it ... you Did you really jump into the water and save me?" His eyes widened with fear.
As we see Robin his eyes open under water and keep Hana close, we rewind to the rest of Dr. Kang notes, where she Robin as personality Seo born -jin guilt describes. She says one set, two possibilities can be taken: The Robin rescues and protects other, or that their intention is to rescue Robin and to protect, as it heals Seo-jin
Back to the present, Seo-jin asks. disbelief, " I ... you saved?" He sees in the window of his reflection on and thinks, "Robin has appeared."
asks Closing caption, Have you ever been face to face with another to meet you?
COMMENTS
Pwahaha, okay, that gorilla was Ridonkulous. Unintentional hilarity CG aside, I actually really liked everything else about this first episode, which is given a nice surprise that the premise has me really careful. But the device is rooted in a credible character-Gu Seo-jin who it is, clearly, he makes the most of his life in a desperate attempt spent to control everything, because his biggest fear is in control of his own body to lose. The yoga, the heart-monitoring, the insistence on its rule-all about his control freaky nature drove quite credible by his condition, and although it appears your standard issue be kpl chaebol type, there is a nice complexity to the character that makes sympathetic me, even though I think he is most of the time to be a rude and selfish prick.
But the head of the Jekyll-Hyde Setup Turn is a great change from the beginning, because it makes us to meet Robin want and drag it. It takes basically the common metaphor of a cold Darcy hero who hides in a fantasy-driven extreme his soggy marshmallow heart behind walls, where instead of a walled heart he actually lock up a second personality fully created. And I buy completely that if you do in an effort to protect themselves, the other person will find a way of coming out. I am pleased that the explanation for his condition not jump my mind with too many logical tire making, and that it sets us up for a potentially heartbreaking romance with an alter ego, the (so far) seems to be quite ingenious.
It's funny that the average such a fear of nice come here, but that will put us firmly on the Rome-com side of things that I like , The tone is a happy medium is not too wide, not too serious and the slick production value certainly makes it easy on the eyes to make. Or was that only Hyun Bin and Han Ji-min? could be made a strong case for it on any camera this glittery looking, but it's always nice when the show is so pretty. They were quite cursorily over many of the entries in this episode with a lot of lazy exposure, so I look forward to more character interaction that does not have as much obviously go through Setup dialog. I already know how the lines together, and Wimpy Seo-jin makes me laugh out loud (the gorilla for this one thing was good).
The clever device is the heart rate monitor, the to connections to remind Best Love and blunt inability of Dokko Jin heart of love. It serves as a constant measure of Seo-jin control over his own body, because we get a clear trigger for Robin: cross the magic threshold heart rate and it appears. So it makes sense that Seo-jin runs from the first signs of anxiety or stress, but the poor guy also takes any joy, excitement or joy in life, mainly to keep locked away from the world both personalities. But of course Hana is the anomaly, otherwise we would never have a history. What's their connection, and why not see in their risk, raise his heart rate into the danger zone? Does he remember her unconsciously anyway? []; _taboola.push ({mode: "Thumbnails-a 'container' taboola Down Item Thumbnails" placement "Below Article Thumbnails" target_type, "Mix"});
