While hating the premise that Joo-Hyuk is so selfish that he’d literally trade his family for his fantasy, it’s refreshing that he gets his comeuppance when he realizes that Woo-Jin’s life in his fantasy is also better off (not to mention that his fantasy is just that – a fantasy). I’m giving this show a chance to redeem Joo-Hyuk into a mature, responsible father/husband/co-worker who can find value in his RL and make the changes to make it his and their best life. After all, you only go around once.
I also hate the premise. Which is why I’m so confused as to what is keeping me coming back for more. I think it would be nice if they weren’t destined for one another – because I do hate fated things – but I know that’s not the story they will probably tell.
The actors/actresses are so watchable, that helps a lot! But also it’s a kdrama, so zany is the name of the game and I’m okay with the over-the-top stuff that I hate, because we can already see Joo-Hyuk is beginning to recognize his own fatal flaws and reflect on his behavior (and even repent). Which, I might add, doesn’t always happen in RL!
I love Familiar Wife (I find it really compelling) and I’m really into Han Ji Min (and Ji Sung and Jang Seung Jo).
I’ve liked Han Ji Min in a couple of other dramas but she’s just great here.
Ji Sung is great as usual.
Jang Seung Jo first crossed my radar in Money Flower; he was really good in that and I’m happy to see him playing a totally different kind of character in this drama.
Avoid, Avoid, Avoid. Hyde, Jekyll, Me is one of the all-time absolute worst dramas. Save yourself some frustrations and avoid. The writing of this drama was horrible.

I can’t tell whether I like Familiar Wife, or whether I am REALLY INTO Han Ji-min (and Ji Sung and Jang Seung Jo) but primarily Han Ji-min.
Please advise.

I like her but I love her relationship with his sister in the new timeline. The sister might be my favorite character right now.

I might try Hyde, Jekyll, Me for some more Han Ji Min.
