Hyun Bin (Secret Garden, A Millionaire's First Love) has signed on to star in the new SBS Romance Comedy drama, Hyde, Jekyll, I. The drama is set to air this January.
The producer behind the drama is none other than Jo Young Kwang (49 days, Queen of Ambition). The main screenwriter is Kim Ji Woon (of Cheongdamdong Alice fame). Currently no other cast members have been chosen.
In the drama, Hyun Bin will be playing the role of a third-generation Chaebol. He is the director of an amusement park called Wonderland. As a victim of a gruesome childhood accident, Hyun Bin's character has developed Dissociative Identity Disorder and so two personalities occupy his body. Just like about in about every 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' story, one personality is nice, while the other one is the exact opposite.
Now the interesting thing about this drama, is that the main female lead (who hasn't been cast yet), will end up in a love triangle with BOTH personalities. Which personality shall become the poor, discarded second lead? This sounds so similar to the American Film: Me, Myself, and Irene.
What do you think? Is Hyde, Jekyll, I on your dramalist?
