This was WEIRD. Also she assaulted that poor man, by kissing him. I wish they hadn't gone that route. I am not sure I understand what is happening in this drama. While she is Hyeri, the filming and her demeanor are almost whimsical. While she Eun Ho, she is struggling. The shows seems to be implying she adopted some of her "sisters" identity, but the two episodes were so odd, that I don't know what to think. hmmmm

The first two episodes were ... interesting, although I liked episode 2 much better than the first. It made sure that I will definitely keep watching.
I even found the last scene of the second episode quite impressive and touching. I actually had a lump in my throat.

Hye-ri reminds me of a child with her direct, literal manner. I was surprised that she is supposed to be 25 years old. I wonder if that was her sister's age when she disappeared. I suspect that Hye-ri was "created" as a "replacement" for the missing sister.

Thank you for the recap! I agree with your assessment of the portrayal of DID. I was under the impression that DID is the result of extreme trauma in childhood. Though I do think the writers could be setting up something like that. For one thing, Hyeri is 9 years younger than Eun-ho, which makes me think something bad could have happened when Eun-ho was 9.

We did hear, in those early scenes set in 2015, that Hyun-oh found Eun-oh's house a mess. (Which it isn't now.) She was playful in a way that he described as crazy. She also grilled him, in the guise of flirting, about whether he would save her if she were drowning. I immediately thought both, "oh, she saw someone drowning," and "oh, she feels like she's drowning."

But if all this is true, why didn't she dissociate in the freezer truck? Or did she?

I also have a lot of suspicions about this Joo-Yeon guy. He has a brother who died and his mom calls him up to tell him she wishes he had died. Is this a legit real separate person, or is it one of Eun-ho's personalities? Or are they destined to be together because the same things happened to both of them? Or is he just open to the ways she's a weirdo because they fit with the ways that he's traumatized?

I cannot decide whether I'm reading more into these episodes than what was intended. One thing is for sure though: DID is not suited to a light romantic comedy. It's suited to a detective story.

I think Kang Hoon looking super handsome in this role will be my main reason to watch it. I liked Hyeri, she's a complete weirdo but she's fun. At least, she realized that kissing him was wrong.

The "logistic" of this drama isn't really clear. Why Eun-Ho doesn't know her condition? How it happened? For a moment, I thought Moon Ji-On's kiss was very impactful to give her a new life.

I wasn’t sure how to feel about the drama. At times it was engaging and at times quite unbelievable. It’s intriguing enough to continue if I set aside all logic. Also I don’t particularly like any of the leads. Especially the main leads. Ji On seems ok but I still don’t understand why he picked up a creepy lady and took her home.
The chirpy SFL seems like the only sane person.

How does Eun Ho go to the second persona Hyeri’s den and keep an alarm for 4pm? Why would she do that especially after coming back from work that afternoon. Which means she should know she has another identity but the show implies that she is confused.
She has a major chuck of her time she can’t account for and yet the show hasn’t given us an insights into this.

I will continue for now.

I have so many questions, that I will keep watching in hopes that they will be answered. 😅

LOL it seems like I'm the only one, but I liked this one. But then I found out the actor had a real life Judge From Hell case (but without Justitia setting thinks straight), so I'm out. 😭

But here are something interesting for the other beanies to think about: the title says 나의 해리에게 (To my Hae Ri) which isn't the other identity's name (she's 혜리 Hye Ri), but her disorder's name.
해리 (Hae Ri) means "disassociation", as in 해리성 정체성 장애: dissociative identity disorder.

Anyway, here are my thoughts about these two episodes: this show felt like four different dramas all at once, and I liked three of them.
I didn't like the ML because he has too much power over Eun Ho's career. It was just two episodes of him doing her "favors" as if he felt responsible/bad for her. And that makes him look like a saint or fool in love with his coworkers, but I just find it weird and unfair. So, Idc about him.

Now, the first drama-inside-the-drama that I liked is Eun Ho's story. Like, everyone dislikes her, and her preferences (career wise) seem a bit unusual. The only one who would talk to her was the guy who thought he had a chance, and her jealous ex who didn't want to marry her goes to her home whenever and controls her career however he likes... That's a lot. What's going on!

The other drama that I liked was the fantasy show we got with Hye Ri and Eun Ho, two girls in one body (yes, I will call it the fantasy plot, not DID).
The girls have rules apparently.
They only switch if Eun Ho goes to sleep before 4PM, right? Because she had those trips during the weekend with no problem... Or maybe they don't switch during the weekend?
Idk, this feels like an old Disney movie (the spell would be "one will own the day, and the other one will own the night..." Like Twitches but one body? 😂).
It seems like Eun Ho adapted/accepted it everything pretty fast, too. She went to a psychiatrist, she has a routine, and she doesn't seem too worried about what Hye Ri does or not.

I mean, Hye Ri's existence is very recent (2 months), but Eun Ho seemed to have everything "under control". Even when Hye Ri didn't know about it.
Also, even if this is a recent thing, I suspect some traumatic event from the past has something to do with it.
Hye Ri seems to be like a version of someone she knew (maybe dongsaeng?). That would explain why she's younger (28?) than Eun Ho, and why she behaves like a kid most of the time. If Eun Ho's last memories of the OG Hye Ri are from when she was a kid, that would explain that weird kiss (she was right, he should've sue her).

The final (and favorite) mini-drama here it's Hye Ri x Ju Yeon's dynamic. I was vibing with The Secret Romantic Guesthouse reunion (modern spin off? 🤣), but then Hye Ri had that confidence boost and became hilarious. I like that she's unpredictable (why would she follow a stranger to his home, tho???). And Ju Yeon's awkwardness complements her well, imo.

Anyway, enjoy...

It is an unconventional story which is far from perfect, but makes me curious.

Who is the hairdresser who comes in at 4:00 am and reworks the hair, while the lead is asleep??? It can't be the new morning-person personality because when she woke up she was so surprised by everything.

Am I the only one getting the sense that a lot of the humor and nuance are lost because of translation issues? There is a lot going on for 12 episodes. So, at least we won't be bored.

@enriquequierecagar I had the sense that the title of the drama is like the intro to a letter. So, is the FL writing a letter to herself? Is this how the two personalities will communicate in the drama?

With the amount of misunderstandings the watchers are having, I hope this doesn't turn out to be a simple love triangle, misunderstanding based humor romcom. But with two personalities, we could have our first double triangle romcom!

I think it's okay for this show to be strange and not so easy to understand. At least, it they will make the pieces fit as we move along.
But I very much agree that it sould have been so much better if they had called the thing that happens too her the "White Bear Syndrom" (After the fairytales about a prince who is a polar bear by day) or a kind of copy-cat-hypochondria (sounds good, too, like some claves rhythm) where patients cope with their traumas by imitating mental states they have read about. I mean, so like, she would have a mental illness, but that it worked like this was because of the books and films she had seen, a kind of placebo illness?

I'm all over the place with this one. I almost turned it off after the first 20 minutes because I I found Joo Eun-ho and Jung Hyun-oh pretty nauseating in their happy and in love phase (where 95% of their conversations were about the heroine's pathological need to force the ML to admit he loves her above everything and everyone, even as she hits and nags him or sabotages his ability to do chores, which is truly his only redeeming quality anyway), and intolerable in their enemies period (in which they insult, condescend, and gaslight their way through boring and redundant conversations that go nowhere). I don't see true love here; I see exes who should remain so and never, ever, EVER get back together.

Plus, I have to say that as amazed, impressed, and fangirly I was for Shin Hye-sun in "Mr. Queen," I find that she's much better in comedic roles than in this kind of heavy yet quirky melodrama. In parts, I feel like she's overacting or being precious rather than channeling a complicated character. I was also particularly confused and irritated by the way she's playing Hyeri as some kind of tween hobbit. I know we're supposed to get that this is a different identity or projection on the part of a damaged psyche, but what's with the constantly open mouth, jerky dancing, and stuttering? Honestly, it reminds me of past portrayals of neurotypical actors playing mentally retarded or autistic characters by relying on caricature that reads much the same as mockery, and as such, I find it both distracting and insulting.

But then, the twist at the end of episode one, and then most of episode two, pulled me in. Even with Shin Hye-sun's odd infantilizing of her character, I found Hyeri and Kang Joo-Yeon to be much sweeter and interesting to watch when things got going a little bit. Even with the sheer ridiculousness of a man with that face managing to make it to 35 without ever having been kissed, and that he suddenly shifted from cold and aloof to inviting this clearly unstable girl/woman to his home, I'd much rather they were the main couple here.

The show is definitely tonally weird. It's not going for the comedy in quite the way "Kill Me, Heal Me" did, but it's also not presenting a remotely realistic portrayal of DID or the blurring of fantasy and reality as a trauma response. I do think we're supposed to see the emergence of the DID as the result of both the sister's death and the breakup, so I wasn't too hung up on how her ex didn't witness the 4am/4pm split. But it is hard to believe that this woman can get up at 4am, be a news anchor until noon on some days, then go to bed, only to wake up at 4pm and work all night. Maybe this whole drama is just about how we all need to get more sleep.

I don't know. Kang Hoon is really good looking. So I'll watch another week.
