Hyde, Jekyll, Me was an interesting show, but ultimately fell short in my opinion. Ironically, Kill Me, Heal Me (with the exact same premise) aired at the same time as this drama, and so I couldn't help but compare the two, even though I watched them separately months apart. Hyde, Jekyll, Me was definitely the more realistic (I use this term loosely, of course) of the two, with doctors that made more logical decisions, and personalities that were more grounded and normal. The bad guy wasn't over the top and had a legitimate reason for his actions. The FL was naturally conflicted and showed genuine emotions and reactions.
That being said, Kill Me, Heal Me was absolutely the superior watch. This show often felt a bit slow to me, while KM,HM was full of action and interesting subplots. I enjoyed KM,HM far more, and wouldn't really recommend this unless someone really was a big fan of one of the lead actors.
I also felt that they did Seo-Jin's character SO dirty!! Yes, Robin was the warmer, more emotive personality, but I honestly felt like Seo-Jin was way more interesting. And how awful that everyone loved Robin so much that they were weeping at the thought of him disappearing, and Seo-Jin was treated like the unfortunate leftovers. I was pretty disgusted at this plot choice, and while the ending was happy, it kind of felt like everyone only accepted Seo-Jin because of the attributes that Robin left behind. The one redeeming character who was always looking out for Seo-Jin and Robin and loved them both was Secretary Kwon, who was the MVP of the series.
Ultimately this ending left me rather annoyed and unsatisfied, and because of it I feel the whole show was just okay.
