between my work: Hyde, Jekyl and Me VS Kill Me Heal Me

Haola people!!! February is here, new month has reached us! How are u going these days? Alhamdulillah I have more spare time to rest since our activities getting looser >< I'm so happy since I can go back to monitor K-Drama again and one that definitely catch my eyes on is this two dramas that aired on same time with really similar storyline. Some people must be a little bit confuse about which drama they should watch. Lucky me I could watch both, but for some of u whose limited time or limited budget to download, I would be happily provide some comparison for u. Should we talk more about these two? Go go!!

The Title

I knew about Kill Me Heal Me first before Hyde, Jekyl and Me since they announced it earlier (if I'm not mistaken). I had no idea what kind of stories would be provided by Kill Me Heal Me. The tittle served two opposite verbs that confused me. At first I though they will share about very serious story that will definitely have me rising my eyebrow. And then they also released the synopsis of the drama and I began to understand. They said that it was about a man who struggles with his multiple personalities that always making everything complicated. That man then met a woman who was a first year resident on psychiatry. Hm, so it's about a mental disorder man with psychiatry doctor. I said "Aha,,,,so K-drama did it again" since the roles reminded me so much to It's Okay, That's Love.

As for Hyde, Jekyl and Me, they have more clear title rather than ambiguous one. Thanks to VIXX song (Hyde) I knew that Hyde and Jekyl live in the same body so I could hardly guess what kind of story they would offer to the viewers. It will add another list to drama retelling story about mentally sick. Truthfully, I had no enthusiasm about Hyde, Jekyl and Me since I paid my attention more to Kill Me Heal Me (thanks for the cast actually)

The Cast

Kill Me Heal Me initially casted Lee Seung Gi and an actress (I dunno her) as the main role but both of them turned it down since its schedule couldn't match with theirs. The team then casted another actors and I couldn't hide my happiness when they finally confirmed the cast. It was Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum!!!! I've became their fans since their last drama together: Secret. The chemistry between those two was no joke! I was so excited that I added Kill Me Heal Me to my must watch drama list soon after knew the two would play along ><

So, it was Hyun Bin and Han Jimin casted to be the lead for Hyde, Jekyl and Me. Truthfully saying, I'm not a fan of both actors. Well, I watched Hyun Bin's Secret Garden and I should say that it was daebakk. But beside of that, I never had chance to see other of his works, plus his look after he discharged from military service didn't really get my attention. Too skinny? Aside for Han Jimin......well, her hillarious drama with Park Yoochun (kyaaaahhhhh,,, my fangirling feels><) on Rooftop Prince plus her acting with So Jisub on Cain and Abel were the one that hooked me into her. But, beside the cast, I still have no intention or the curiosity to add this drama on my list. I have no idea what kind of chemistry these two would bring to us.


The Personality

Actually beside serving the main role as an mental disorder character, both dramas had quite different features. The one that caught my attention the most was their personality. As on Kill Me Heal Me, Jisung portrayed a man named Cha Do Hyun, a third chaebol generation from Seungjin Group whose suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). He spilt himself into 5 different personalities who showed whenever Cha Do Hyun stressed out. In other hand, on Hyde, Jekyl and Me the main lead named Go Seo Jin whom also the  heir of chaebol from Wonder Company. He, likewise Cha Do Hyun did have traumatic past that lead him to split himself. This time, Go Seo Jin only had 1 personality who appeared whenever that personality wanted.

As the personality is actually like totally different person from the real one whom created to protect the real from any damage, in these dramas they could be like have total opposite character. I told u before that on Kill Me Heal Me, Cha Do Hyun ripped himself into 5 (as far as I remember) personalities who differ greatly. I think it would be too long if I discuss about them all, so I only talked about one personality who control the most. He was Shi Se Gi, a harsh and tough guy who only follow his own rule and act as he pleased. Whenever he appeared, he usually created problem and leave Cha Do Hyun to suffer from his damage. He was quite brutal and wouldn't object to use violence. Sounded horrible, wasn't it? But Shin Se Gi was actually the personality in charge of any pain Cha Do Hyun had on his childhood. He was the one who had those bad memories, so I couldn't really blame his rudeness. Apart from that rude Shi Se Gi, Cha Do Hyun was a really nice person who wouldn't mind to help the other if they asked him to. He seemed owned a weak heart, thus he couldn't deal with any stress event. The nonsense thing about this personality was, whenever he appeared, there would be a tattoo on his neck. I still had idea how that tattoo could arise, they only different in mind right? Not the body, right? Well, I thought it would only happened in drama, so just enjoyed it ;P

Not like Shin Se Gi who was rough and seemed didn't care about everything we have a very nice Robin on Hyde, Jekyl and Me. He was a guy who couldn't help but helped everybody around him whenbever he found others in difficulity. He was so kind that the real owner of the body Go Seo Jin couldn't stand him. Apart from trauma Go Seo Jin had on his childhood, Robin was created due to his great guilty from the past. I couldn't guess what kind of trauma he had before but one thing for sure: Go Seo Jin was the type who put himself highly more than the other. He was really self centered, so u could imagine how selfish he was. On the first episode, when there was accident on his Wonder Land -where a godzilla (?? No, not godzilla, a chimpanzee?? Ahhhh, I suddenly turned into forgetful lady >_< Just watch it urself and then tell me what kind of animal it was) was out of control and causing uproar, he was encountered a girl who fell and asked for his help, but he turned it down and chose to save himself instead!! Meh, he wouldn't make into the list of "This Year Most Gentle Men" for sure (tough I wonder whether that kind of list was actually exist).

When Cha Do Hyun and Shin Se Gi could talk each other directly or indirectly (through a mirror), Go Seo Jin and Robin using the advance of technology to communicate. In the case of Cha Do Hyun and Shin Se gi, it was said that the way they talking by realizing each other presence and and speak out their own mind. As for Go Seo Jin and Robin, they've been together for quite long time so they even made rule between them and communicate through video. Whenever they need to talk to the other they would record a video on computer on their own hideout. Personally I thought that this method was cool and genius <3

Wait wait.... I need to go to school right now! But I promise I will finish it very soon after I have spare time
