Kill Me, Heal Me (2015)

Honestly, I had a hard time deciding whether this drama is a masterpiece or not.
Of course this drama is one of my ALL TIME FAVORITE. But not really the best.

Maybe because this drama is just lots of fun (and tears) and I shouldn't care too much about some plot holes and missing answers.
Before the last episode, we had lots of scenes involving wars inside company, chae yeon engangement with ki joon, the mom being so evil, and the grandma desperately sobbing for his son, and all of those constant flashback. But in the end, these screentimes didn't even seem too important. I just realized they were just dragging times, and taking away the slot for other more important scene.

We should've had chance to see some interesting scene, like how Oh parents will react when they know Perry's real identity. How mom, and grandma will do with Do hyun-Ri Jin relationship. How will Jun Pyo live after 21 years of coma. And of course, some longer scene for personalities. Like perry park running away from SEUNGJIN office, went fishing with papa Oh, riding a REAL boat.

But overall, the story is great, nicely wriitten, and makes us wanting more and more and more. I hate it when it ends.

About the acting...
Well I watched previous Ji Sung's works (save the last dance, PTB, my ps partner, secret), I knew he always did great potraying characters. This time he surpassed my expectation. Bows down.
Other character also did a good job. HJE is really good with her expression. LOL. What I complained the most is not her screaming, but her choice of clothings. It bothers me a lot to see her wearing oversized top and trousers all the time. I wish Shin Segi was not only complaining about her make up. -_-

AND THEIR CHEMISTRY, unfortunately is not as strong as what happen in drama Secret.The kiss was too plain compared to THAT CAR KISS AND THAT TABLE KISS, Secret fans must know what I mean. Maybe I am a sucker of melodrama, but I love them better in Secret. Sorry. :(

I love drama that could make me laugh and cry with the characters, this drama is definitely giving me great laughing times, and wonderful crying times.

This is the only drama that made a scene where a girl giving kiss to someone other than his boyfriend, so beautiful.

My heart hurts now that the show is now done. He needs to get an Oscar coz that was just too much goodness. i watched it in 3 days and i laughed and cried with them. My fav was shin se gi and yo na. The girl was screaming too much i had to mute. the brother and cousin were eye candy and was it just me but alex looked like he could be related to lee minho. I saw some facial resemblance.
The flaw was in the first kissing scenes i cringed, i mean how long does it take to reach the lips infront of you. It felt like 30 minutes of looking into each others eyes and tilting and closing and opening eyes and bla bla, shin se ki wouldn't waist time.
Its an overall great story with less evil and annoying exes/family. Alot of laugh out moments from perry park and yo na (gi ji be)
Another thing i noticed is whenever shin se ki is around or close to ri jin, a specific music will come on. Which suited the moment esp last episode. (Jang jae in ft nashow - auditory hallucination) Episode 17 was like ripping off a bandaid, thats when the whole truth comes out and lots of tears.
this is the summary of the personalities.
Cha do hyun - main, calm, levelheaded
shin se ki -. Wolf, badass, hot
Perry park- flashy, accent, makes bombs
ahn yo seob - 17yrs, twin, suicidal
ahn yo na- twin girl, teenager, hilarious
na na - little girl, teddy bear
mr x - nana's dad, magician

Best drama of 2015. At first, I started the drama because I haven't seen a drama that had the two main leads in it. I mean, I tried Secret, but I didn't manage to finish. Though, I loved them separately in Protect the Boss and Can You Hear My Heart?

Story:
Overall the entire plot was great! I only have a few critics about the ending. I felt that 20 episodes wasn't enough for this drama to unfold. The last two episodes was rushed and it seemed that the production just had to pack everything in. However, the scripts were beautifully written and the actors did an amazing job with presenting what the writers had wanted.

Acting:
Jisung deserves all the awards that comes his way at the year end drama awards, why? Not only did he take on seven different roles, he was able to make me cry throughout the drama. Jungeum was great, but honestly in some scenes her acting was awkward. I feel that Seojoon will be nominated for best supporting role and hopefully he will win them. Then again, for this I'd like to focus heavily on Jisung's acting. No words can describe how amazing he portrayed a man living with DID. They all did an amazing job with presenting what the writers had wanted when making this story plot. My heart ached when they ached and loved when they loved. Is that weird? Props to this amazing cast. One of my favorite casts ever.

Music:
Loved the two main songs that were played throughout the drama. Let's just say the "cool" rap song and the sad song by Myungjin. I recommend not searching the songs until you hear them played in the drama. It will be ten times better afterwards.

I'll definitely rewatch this again when the time comes. It was certainly a different type of drama I didn't expect would be produced. It wasn't as cliche or oddly different than the rest. In my opinion, this did a better job than Hyde, Jekyll and Me.

I just finished watching this drama and all I can think of is one word : Legendary! (in the famous words of one Barney Stinson!)
I've been hearing and reading rave reviews about it and I can attest to every single one of them- this is a diamond drama and I mean the real deal.

The story has been thought out from the very first episode and it is unfolding at every small piece each episode and never drags out or wavers. There are moments where you will laugh out loud and there are others where you will shed a tear and want to hug the characters. And this is what makes a drama stand out, when there is a perfect balance between the two. And there was truly that perfect line between the two.

The acting is top notch from everyone but as expected, Ji Sung had to carry out a very heavy acting :burden" and oh boy did he did do it! The guy deserves all the awards in the world, he was simply sublime in every single personality he had to pull out. He was really phenomenal and he deserves all the credit in the world. Hwang Jung-Eum had a very difficult task as well, balancing a stubborn, loud, enthusiastic yet vulnerable doctor- their chemistry was great as well. (I still need to watch Secret btw) But yeah, like I said everyone was absolutely awesome in their roles, hence the 10 I gave in the acting category. (the kids too, brilliant, just brilliant performances) I guess if I had to praise a category the most, that would be the acting, yep.

The music is great, both the tracks and the instrumental set the tone perfectly.

If you haven't watched it already, do yourself a favor and please do- it's hands down one of the best dramas out there, an epic ride you don't wanna miss!
To every person that worked to bring Kill me Heal me to life, well done guys, it was an epic ride!

Kill Me, Heal Me is weird, messy, and imperfect; but also creative, beautiful and full of heart—just like human beings.
Great Story, Twist Plot, Great Comedy, Great romance, Great Ost, Great actor, so what else

The story is so refreshing, even there's maybe have a lack story from villain aspect, but because this story center is about Cha Do hyun, Oh Rijin and the alter healing story is not really matter
in last episode we scare the story will drop etc because so many things need to explain, but the writer success create a nice ending even there's still have so many question, we're satisfied

Jisung acting is really Daebak. He can act as 7 personality really well, especially when he act as Ahn Yo Na- the girl alter. The strange thing is i feel the same, i never saw Yona as a man...i always saw Yona as a rebellious teenage girl...Jisung really good actor,beyond my imagination, he really make Yona alive as a girl- LOL -

it's really recommended drama, i hope in the end of the year this drama will get many award, especially Jisung, he really deserves a DAESANG

Of course I can talk a lot about how this drama is amazing, but I'll give you 3 reasons why I loved it and why you need see it.

3. The DID and all personalities

In each episode we can see a little of each personality of Cha do Hyun and he has 7ok? So you can imagine how it can be fun. The personalities are so different each other, going to the Badboy to Crazy teenage girl. I just love How the writers introduced the personalities to us, always of a funny way.

2. The story behind of the main couple

Since the beginning we can see that Cha Do Hyun and Ri Jin have something that makes them ends together. Their first meeting as Shin Se Gi, one of personalities that says a pharse that makes all hearts melt, and I can say I was one hahaha I loved even with their afraid, insecurities and abuses in the past they were always together, they were intertwined, and over the episodes them overcome it together.

1. Ji Sung acting Skills

I'M TOTALLY AMAZED WITH JI SUNG! He did it, and did it perfectly. He can handle all personalities in the same time, when he portrayed a teenage girl he really passed to me he was a teenage girl, the same way he passed to me he was a Kind heart guy in the other moment a Badboy. Serisly He is a amazing actor, Now I'm in love with Him. I never can forget - Oppa, Catch me! hahahaa

This is why you need Watch it!! NOW!

Heal Me, Kill Me was amazing. I was skeptical watching a dissociative identity disorder drama, because there could be plenty of fallacies when it comes to these rare mental disorders. I didn't want them to exaggerate for the sake of entertainment, but without going crazy they turned this into one of my favorite dramas of this year.

The chemistry between the main characters was great. The acting was great. I was addicted to the drama and romance, so I would recommend this to anyone interested in a beautiful romance with many fun twists and turns. You will laugh a lot.

Despite all the reviews already existing for this highly popular drama, I wanted to write my own, as I was so disappointed by it.

STORY
The inconsistent and illogical writing is what ruined the drama for me: it almost feels like completely different people wrote the first half and the second half, and that the second writer had no idea how the first writer wrote the first part. So many elements in the story seemed unnecessary and many didn't fit well together in the story. The concept of the drama was great (a man with DID) but the writing simply wasn't good enough to make it into a good story.

Also, I personally find it really annoying when mental illnesses are turned into something almost supernatural (aka however the writer wants it, even if it's inaccurate): it's a topic that is already interesting as it is, and the need to add fantasy-like elements (those frickin' fake red tattoos for example) just shows how badly it was written. It's almost offensive to Ji Sung: his acting was perfect enough for the audience to notice the change of personality, and the CGI effects were useless and simply made me cringe.
There are actual real people suffering from DID in this world, and this element itself would have been enough for the story to be interesting. The medical inaccuracy was painful to watch, in my opinion (I know, it's just a drama, but I just couldn't let it go).

CAST
That being said, Ji Sung gave probably one of the best performance I've seen in a drama. He portrayed all of the personalities perfectly and brought hilarious comedy to the show. That's pretty much the only thing I liked about this drama and had to skip lots of the scenes to finish it.

MUSIC
The OST is great, although that one really good song is a bit overused and I started getting tired of it halfway through the show.

REWATCH
I won't watch this drama again. It has some great elements, but it's really overated in my opinion.

Kill Me Heal Me is the first drama I watched, when I began in 2015, and I've never been that pleased to start something new. When I started watching it, I had no expectations like, I was just curious about the story and how it will turn, only by reading the plot summary.

But, when you start Kill Me Heal Me, you can't stop. Truly, that's what I felt. This drama is one of the best I've seen and I'm really difficult about movies, tv shows and dramas. But KMHM is the mix of all of the things I like. I'll explain my enthusiasm for this drama by using the 3 previous rating topics.
________________________
STORY : I was really afraid to watch a drama who's talking about the hard disease that is schizophrenia, cause it's a difficult topic who is often badly represented. But actually, the story gains you and you just want to know what will happen for every character. Even the supporting roles have an interesting story and, you can't help but be interested in their own life. You're just there watching the episodes and falling in love with every characters. I cried a lot, at the beginning and at the end. You understand the meaning of everything bit by bit and that's why the drama is amazing. There are puzzle pieces everywhere, and you have to stick them together to understand the full story, the how and the why.
________________________
ACTING/CAST : I'll just detail my feelings toward the main cast but, the back cast did an amazing work too. Truly, I rarely saw that kind of cast who just leave you speechless. Ji Sung was the PERFECT actor to personify DoHyun. Every personnality is amazingly played and you just fall in love with each of them. Actually, my favorite was Perry Park. He was so extra but you finally understand that he's so broken.
Let's talk about Hwang Jung-Eum too ! She slayed the role of RiJin and was, for me, an amazing choice of the casting director. That actress always surprises me, and I think she will in the future too. (update : she did in Lucky Romance oh my god)
Park Seo Joon did an amazing job on his role too. We saw him less than the main actors but when he appeared, it was full of meaning and emotionnal/funny, there was not happy medium.
________________________
MUSIC : Auditory Hallucination took my heart. The meaning, the instrumental, the voices. I can't stop listening and singing this song since 2015. I've never liked a song that much. All the noises and the ambience sounds were amazingly choosen for all the situations. The other music I loved is Unspeakable Secret, performed by Moon Myung Jin. His voice is so deep, and the lyrics are so.. Like, you can recognize yourself in them. Park Seo Joon's song is kinda beautiful too, and I was really surprised by his voice.
________________________

In short, KMHM is that kind of drama you like easily especially if you're, like me, sensitive with ease. The acting is so touching and the end is satisfying, really satisfying, even if there are sad moments, everything goes well and yes, that's the kind of dramas I love. I recommend it to everyone !
