Shin Hye Sun's Dual Personalities Complicate Her Life in "Dear Hyeri"

Genie TV Original Dear Hyeri released its main trailer, showcasing the opposite personalities portrayed by actress Shin Hye Sun.

Dear Hyeri tells the story of Eun Ho (Shin Hye Sun) who suffers from dissociative identity disorder and manifests a new personality due to a deep emotional wound she carries.

The trailer features the contrasting lives of Joo Eun Ho (Shin Hye Sun), who lives a tiring life that burns her out, and Joo Hye Ri (also played by Shin Hye Sun), who spends each day shining with happiness.

The video begins with Eun Ho waking up to the sound of her alarm at 4 a.m. Eun Ho is a 14-year veteran announcer who, despite her years in the industry, remains unnoticed. She goes to work at the broadcasting station and carries out her duties as usual, even taking on a challenging on-site report at a rough seaside location. 

However, what she receives in return is harsh criticism about her lack of talent and identity, along with a bitter remark from Hyun Oh (Lee Jin Wook), "You embarrass me." Eun Ho's dry voice, as she mutters to herself, "Burning out, every day," gives a glimpse into the pain of living in obscurity within the competitive broadcasting world.  

Then, at 4 p.m., Hye Ri's day begins. With upbeat and lively music, Hye Ri appears with her bangs down and a completely different personality than Eun Ho. She gets involved with Kang Ju Yeon (Kang Hoon), who does not know she is the other personality of Eun Ho. 

Her bright smile as she repeatedly says to herself, "I'm happy," gives a different vibe compared to Eun Ho.

However, when Hyun Oh calls out to Hye Ri, "Hey, Joo Eun Ho," she is stunned. She exclaims, puzzled, "It's strange, isn't it? I'm Hye Ri." Curiosity builds as to how Joo Eun Ho and Joo Hye Ri will navigate life and relationships. 

Dear Hyeri will premiere on September 23. The K-drama will be available to stream on Viki. Watch the trailer here.
