Kill Me, Heal Me (2015)

Firstly, I must say that Ji Sung's role here is one of the most remarkable roles I've seen in a Korean drama. I was really impressed by his ability to transform himself in several totally different characters in the same drama and with such a credibility, and considering the stunning charisma he has, such an interesting character of a guy with a dissociative identity disorder gives him an amazing opportunity to reveal his artistic maturity. So, to tell the truth, Ji Sung's character here is one of the best kdramas characters I know, as the same actor is obviously well-known not only because of his really captivating beauty.
Therefore the story of such a character itself arouses interest but also there are some quite sensitive and cute elements and a huge amount of charming, playful moments what make the drama absolutely fulfilled. All in all, it's one of the best kdramas I've seen ;)

Wow- what an exciting ride

Where do I start- this drama is an absolute gem, great story well executed by Ji Sung’s wonderful acting.

The positives:
- Jin Sung
- Ji Sungs’s brilliant acting ( he portrayed all his identities superbly, such a versatile actor)
- Great story & direction
- able to hold viewers attention all through 20 episodes
- dealt with a sensitive issue like Multiple Personality Disorder in an interesting way creating awareness on it
- Park Seo Joon
- O.S.T , Auditory Hallucination is such a beautiful song
- Happy ending

The negatives:
- the female lead keeps shouting all her dialogues at times it’s irritating in the earlier episodes..(it maybe a script requirement )

I would highly recommend to watch this drama- happy watching!

I think that was the crazier plot that I saw in dramas until now. This isn't a bad thing, at least not for me, but I think that some people could think that it's too much. I thought that it was the most unreal drama about mental health that I watched too, but if you read my posts you gonna see that I always soften this kind of story. It's romance and this kind of topics are always hard to approach in dramas, but I have to say that the way how they develop the relationship between a psychiatrist and a patient without even put a little more of doubt or regret in Oh Ri Jin's mind make me a little uncomfortable. But let's skip my annoying considerations now, haha.

I think that what more impressed me was the performance of the actors. I have to make a big mention here to Ji Sung (Cha Do Hyun)! Interpretate a character with multiply personalities isn't an easy job and this man just crush it! Even his way to look change with the personalities and this was absurd, he was amazing doing this! For me, he was the star of this drama. About Hwang Jung Eum (Oh Ri Jin) I maintain what I said before in the "FIRST IMPRESSIONS": I thought her expressions and attitude a little (to not say a lot) exaggerated. Sometimes I got scared with her expressions, for real. But In the moments when she needs to show tension, I just loved her performance. About Park Seo Joon (Oh Ri On), another great surprise here! The way how he changes between the no sense brother to the mysterious one was very good and real for me.

Continue about the plot, I thought that in the middle of the process the story was losing the high. I had to force myself in episodes 8 until 13 for keeping watch, and when we get in the final episodes everything happens in once. I think that the script could be made more careful to keep the audience's attention during all the drama. This really was a crazy plot, but I thought very differently and fun. Besides the script error, I think that worth my time. The ending was simply beautiful. I cried like a baby seeing all the "goodbyes" (no more spoilers) and seeing how Cha Do Hyun and Oh Ri Jin healed themself together. The message behind this drama is touching and made me reflect on many things.

I finish with a sentence from the last episode:

"Your fears are the size of your imagination. Don't waste time imagining what already happened, reserve the imagination to your future."

Don't kill, heal.

I didn't expect much from this series going in. I was just binging anything with Park Seo-joon in it. I was surprised to find such a complete cast. Seo-joon's role is a complex character with so much depth and yet pales in comparison to Ji Sung's role. I've seen D.I.D. series done before, but never as well developed as this series. Ji Sung really does deliver 5 completely different roles and does it flawlessly (yes, there are supposedly 7, but only 5 really stood out). I definitely watch kdramas for the incredibly attractive men, but I'll give credit where credit is due. Hwang Jung-eum was spot on in her delivery. I watched this 8 years after it's release and was still blown away by the OST and production quality.

This has got to be the most well scripted and well-acted drama I have ever seen. Ji Sung, in particular, did a fantastic job with playing several different personalities. He was just constantly spot on in his acting. Kill Me, Heal Me has made it to my top favorite list. It had a great combination of comedy and tragedy that I find entertaining. And I loved all of the characters. Even characters I hated because they were villainous, I also sympathized with. That is what really makes a good villain. Fantastic drama with a pretty much flawless storyline. A must watch for everyone interested in being entertained.

So, I can't say that I am extremely knowledgable on Kdramas, as I have only watched 5 or 6, but I can say that KMHM was the best one I ever got to watch. The story was so beautiful, exciting, intriguing and also innocent that it kept me watching and watching day and night.

First of all, Ji Sung was great at portraying 7 characters. The chemistry between the main roles were also amazing. The acting was absolutely phenomenal in general and every single character was interesting on its own.

It was so different from the other dramas I watched, and now after KMHM I cant find anything good to watch because of high expectations. I am planning to rewatch it a year or two later, so that I can forget the details a bit and enjoy it as much as the first time.

Highly recommended, just watch the first episode and you will understand how good it is.

I haven't really written reviews for any other series before but this one was a must. If you are having doubts on whether to watch it or not I suggest you throw them all down the drain and definitely try this! This series was such a roller coaster. I thought it had the perfect of everything, the romance, the heart wrenching moments, the comedy, everything! I loved this series because it was one that touched my heart so deeply. A lot of times the beginnings of series will be great but it gets boring and I just force myself to watch the rest since I've started with it but it was not the case with this at all! I didn't ever get bored at all, in fact when it was over it felt like a part of me had gone missing as well. I wasn't really sure if I'd be able to watch this or not since I usually find series like this really hard to watch but although it makes you cry in a few scenes the way they balanced the comedy and the tragic moments is absolutely admirable. The way the actors portrayed their characters was brilliant as well. The male lead was exceptional in each personality of the character he portrayed and you could feel yourself falling in love with each of his personalities. One of the best shows I've ever watched!

Two dramas in one year about DID. In my opinion this drama is the better one of the two that came out despite having totally different plots. This drama just has a better cast with very good acting skills. Ji-sung who portrayed Cha Do-hyun, a DID patient, did a marvelous job in terms of playing 7 totally different personalities, each having a different voice, gesture, clothing, accent, gender and so on. I personally don't think it is very easy to just fit into a skin that is clearly not suitable for his age, for example becoming a 7 year old girl. However, he became a 7 year old girl and despite knowing this is just a drama, I felt as if it was a young girl in a man's skin which was both weird and amazing. This drama made me really interested in this rare mental disorder and I had to research about it to get the full gist of it. It is both very interesting and scary, the fact that a whole new and different personality can live inside you without knowing about it.
