Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum have such a deep connection and amazing chemistry. As actor and actress, they compliment each other perfectly.
Ji Sung WAS every role he played and it was amazing to watch. I was a fan of him after seeing "My P.S. Partner" but this sealed the deal for me.
Park Seo Joon was not only lovable but HILARIOUS (which is new to me because his role in SHE WAS PRETTY is not so much) and there were so many times where his reactions and facial expressions made me laugh.
This is one of the few drama series where I have actually burst into both laughter and tears, several times. It was hard for me to finish the series because I wanted closure but I also didn't want say goodbye. It's been days since I finished it and I still feel upset that it's over...
OVERALL: HOLY CRAP, SO GOOD.

The plot was very interesting. But it wasn't how I expected it to be, it was better.
What I love the most about this drama, is that, it was very unpredictable. And, it has everything. The script was very mature. I really loved it. It wasn't cheesy and it didn't ruin the scenes, it made it better. Nothing was too much.
I loved the fact that each episode has something new, there wasn't ever an empty episode like regular dramas.
I'm also very impressed with the gradation of how Cha Do Hyun's memory return. In other dramas, they just keep dragging the episodes and then everything is revealed in the final episode. But, in "Kill me, Heal me" his memories return gradually which was believable and realistic, and it gave us something new in each episode.
I loved every personality Cha Do Hyun had. Every single one, specially Shin Se Gi. I routed for him from the beginning. I loved them more after knowing the stories behind them.
The plot twists were just... wow.. amazing.. amusing.. shocking.. everything I've ever dreamed of in a plot twist. Again, nothing was predictable. You think you figured everything out, but then suddenly the writers drive you insane.
The acting was epic. very real, and the face expressions were suitable. The supporting roles did a great job. I specially love the brother, Oh Ri On.
The music was good. It wasn't fantastic. except for the song "Auditory Hallucination" which was brilliant.
I want to re-watch this drama, I think I will, sometime in the future.
This is a definitely watch drama. It was funny, genius, heart-warming, thrilling and just.. Genius.
It's on the top of my recommendation list!

I also loved the female protagonist. She is not your conventional damsel in distress sort of lead, instead, she is brazen, out-spoken, and at times un-lady-like. Some may be turned off by the female lead's over the top acting in the beginning but the actress really grows into her own as the drama progresses and I didn't find her acting to be a hindrance to the drama.
Now looking back, it is not a perfect drama but it certainly tugged my heart strings. It had flaws especially relating to the accuracy of the depiction of someone with DID and how the male lead was able to recover from it. However, these are minor flaws to what I felt is one the best dramas I've seen in a while.
Ultimately, watch this if you like strong female leads, rom-coms, electrifying chemistry, and a great soundtrack.

Here's a breakdown of my review.
THE STORY - a story about a guy who has D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) also known as a multiple personality disorder, meets a psychiatric resident. Together they help each other put the separate identities back together. This is one of those dramas where I was really happy with the writers. The plot was well thought out, and like I said above, there weren't really any unnecessary scenes. This drama made me laugh, cry, scream. For me, any drama that can put me in an emotional rollercoaster and give me all the feels is an A+.
THE ACTING/CAST - I've watched Ji Sung in Protect the Boss & My P.S. Partner. I enjoyed his acting then, and I still enjoy his acting in this one. The way he portrayed each of his split personalities was awesome. Hwang Jung Eum, I haven't really watched her in anything. Well, it said on her profile, that she was in Potato Star, but it was such a minor role, I can't even remember her there. She was pretty cool in this drama. My other favorite actor in this drama was Park Seo Joon. I've never seen him in anything other than Bang Yong Gook's MV, "I Remember". But I love him in this drama. I didn't really have second lead syndrome in this one.
THE MUSIC - All the songs in the OST are awesome. They captured the right emotion for each scene. And "Auditory Hallucination" by Jang Jae In feat. Na Show has a special place in my heart.
REWATCH VALUE - Yes! Heck yes! I will re-watch this drama again. It was just one of those dramas that didn't really let me down.
OVERALL - 10 out of 10. Like I said one of the best dramas for 2015. This drama gets two thumbs up. :D

Story:
The first time I saw the description/story of this drama I said to myself "Cool, looks like an awesome drama, I'll definitely watchi this" and after watching the whole episodes, I was right, this really is a good drama! You'll be hooked up just after watching the first episode, and it feels like you want to watch the next one after watching an episode specially from episode 9 up to finale. There's no boring part, although there's a lot of fillers and flashbacks, well it's for the sake of the drama's storyline.
Acting:
The acting of every cast was superb! Specially the two main lead role, I didn't know that Ji Sung's acting skills was that good! no, it's not good, it's more than good, it's great! Portraying 7 personalities? Damn! That was freakin hard, man! I bet that he'll win in the next baeksang art awards! He deserves to get the grand prize coz' he's so versatile! He's like the male version of Jeon Ji Hyun coz both actors are versatile.
Rewatch Value:
I'm the type of person who always rewatch the drama's best and comedy parts, and KMHM has a lots of funny parts specially when Cha Do Hyun is turning into Yo Na, a female hghschool who loves handsome guys. I'm really laughing my ass off while watching her, Ji Sung delivered Yo Na's character so well, actually he delivered all of characteristics of Do Hyun's personalites well.
I like to thank the writer, the director and producer for making this kind of drama. Kudos to the whole KMHM team! You did a very good job guys, I hope you'll make another KDrama as good as this one.

Why?
1. The chaebol's money didnt do much for the leading lady. The money only provided a chance for us to enjoy the eye candy of luxurious surroundings. Love Cha Dong Hyeon's house!! His grandma's house is an overkill. Plus do they really need that many servants bowing to them. There's only 2 people living in that house.
Please writers no more of this sh*&. Most rich people are very cheap & greedy - that's how they accumulate that wealth.
2. Leading Man has mucho psycho problems due to previous generation's wrongdoing (psss - money is root for evil.) Leading woman who is a psychiatrist felt sorry for the dude & CHOSE to help him & show him that humble life is the happy life. Yay!
During my 2nd rewatch - Only miss is that leading woman was too docile in the relationship - he always got choose whether to take her or not. Wish there was a little push & pull that Master's Sun does have.
Aside from irresistible good looks - wanted to see more other qualities that makes the leading woman fall for him other than sympathy or childhood connection.
Ji Sung is a great actor - but somehow I am not convince that Cha Do Hyeon really fell for Oh Ri Jin. They should've show more of her abilities/appeal!
That's all folks. I am off to rewatch more Kill Me Heal Me!

amazing drama
I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for the leading lady. Every time she appears on the screen I want to turn it off. I find her acting so unconvincing and overdone. Her character is supposed to be a doctor but it comes out as a silly girl with those fake facial expressions and overdone mannerisms. It has made me so angry. I cant imagine this drama had a director who directed this character throughout the show. In many cases she waters down the main guy character so much you just want to cry. I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for her.The leading man was AMAZING. SO emotional and sexy. swoon* every identity came out beautifully. of course Segi stood out (maybe it was the eyeliner) nevertheless JiSung totally made this drama. Haven't seen him in anything else yet but I will look for some.
The rest of the characters are okay and play their part well. No complaints
Story very good. Abit slow at some points but that s Kdrama for you. Much love
I am struggling to finish this drama because the story is coming together so well, its getting so nice and emotional but the leading lady is just there making silly facial expressions (sigh)

Very 2015
It's more comedy than the premise lets on. While it also embraces deep aspects of trauma beautifully, it took a while to get there. The first 7 episodes were a chore to watch and I'm just glad I stuck through that. The FL screamed a lot and her acting was generally really annoying. Except for some scenes, I was not a fan. The ML on the other hand did a great job of acting out multiple personalities and the emotional scenes were amazing!One part of the story that really bothered me, was the strong pseudo-incestrous touch between FL and her brother and also ML. It was really not necessary and made me cringe a lot at times.
I loved how in the end, everything came together and the plot twist of the show was great. I really did not see it coming.
