Hyde, Jekyll, Me Episode 17
My heart just cracked and shattered. Did you see Robin's face when Hana first acknowledges him, and then puts him across as the alter ego of Seojin's? I can't take that despondent look, really.
As much as Robin yearns to own an identity and be accepted by people (apart from the less-than-ten others who're aware of his existence), we know that's an impossible dream. He has a great personality - kind, righteous, and fatally adorable, but face it, he is still a figment of Seojin's, well, imagination. To have a distinct line drawn between Robin and Seojin and let both assume a life of their own is almost, or frankly put, unrealistic, because fundamentally, Robin remains a mental image conceived by Seojin during his days of reality escapism. It is just not right to think that having both characters co-exist (and share Hana) is perfectly fine, because like it or not, Robin is a mental illness that has to and should be fused back to the core personality. Only by that can Seojin become a more complete person with these different sides to him, and of course, under his consciousness where he is aware of his doings.
Also, I don't see how his health will not deteriorate if he's going to keep up with the Day-Seojin-Night-Robin cycle. We might have to deal with not only his dissociative identity disorder but also his liver problems in the later days.
