This drama is amazing! The story will make you angry, sad, and laugh with joy! The characters have great chemistry and a reason to be together! It may be melodramatic but in no way does the story drag . You watch as each of the personalities learn to work and love Oh Ri Jin in their own unique ways. It has its joyful moments despite being a melodrama! I really hope you give this drama a chance because you won't regret it! I recommend this drama if you enjoy cohabitation, past trauma, and melodramas!

Definitely worth the watch

Don’t let the episode count or complex storyline sway you from viewing. This is definitely worth your time. From the bottom of my kdrama loving soul, I can promise that this series will not leave you wanting, and instead it’ll check all those boxes for what will keep you hooked and intrigued until the very end. It was so hard to say good bye to each personality. They will live on forever in my heart! Right along with Kill Me, Heal Me. Bittersweet and beautiful and everything you want from a story that will make you fall in love, and yearn, and laugh at life.

Heal me out

'Kill me Heal me' is an awkward drama.
It seems to achieve with quite some success what it was aiming for, but doing so by making every possible mistake in its execution it should have normally avoid.
Some of the mistakes were obvious to a lot of people here : The dissociative disorder, for example, is exaggeratedly inaccurate, romanticized and worse, stupidely demonstrated to the viewers in the first episodes by the most ridiculous and useless visual FX probably ever made, with MS Paint, by a seriously drunk assistant FX artist.
But some are also less obvious : mainly, this drama must own its own world record list of clichés and déjà-vus (the main character supposedly flawless has the biggest flaw of them all, main female lead clueless but kind, the unwavering brother etc etc etc). Honestly, for the viewers to be able to get past the first three episodes tells a lot about their open mind, leniency ... and stubbornness ^^.
But fortunately that's also exactly where the viewers will get a small reward, a reward naturally growing into something a bit more beautiful as the plot reveals itself. Because if you're able to get past the few mistakes and awkward decisions that were made for this drama, at least in its execution, you will be reward by the strong emotions, born from the conflicted characters (and I do mean - all - the characters), born from the conflicted situations and scenes that makes this drama whole. It's an awkward and amazing drama because, in its details, it's foolish, a bit naive even, and again the direction and execution seems almost childish at times and then, in its whole, this drama enters a totally different level. The emotions and feelings are so strong that, in a few milliseconds, you're forgetting all these past mistakes in a heartbeat, almost mesmerized by the main leads as they cling to each other, healing each other (and that's important too, in a way they're also healing the audience itself).
True enough, the dissociative disorder seems at times nothing more than a plot device, a tool to progress the story, but the actions and reactions, the conflicts brought by this illness, seems nothing less than genuine and carefully thought, and in time, describe a beautiful example of a love that transcends it all.
So, take place in your most confortable sofa, relax, and enjoy watching Kill me Heal me. This is highly recommanded by your psy.

WORTH WATCHING SHOW

Kill Me Heal Me
Genre: psychological, Rom-Com, Mystery
Excellent show with great acting, intriguing & heart-touching storyline, beautiful chemistry btw the lead pair, amazing OST especially Auditory hallucination (chef's kiss). Ji Sung's acting is phenomenal. How amazingly he played 7 different characters in this drama and switched his expressions, eye movements, and body posture when he turned into a different personality. He's such a versatile actor Hands down!! This show will make you laugh at one second and will make emotional at another second. This show is worth watching and add it to my favorite list.

Kill me heal me is the most well-written k-drama I have ever watched. Each character and each aspect of the story is indispensable, it was so intricately written that while watching it, I sometimes stopped to ponder on how the writer came up with such a complex yet realistic and engaging narrative. However as much as I loved the story, I did give it 7.5 stars so that means that I wasn't fully content. It's a great story that failed to captivate me in the way it was told.

Acting;
Ji Sung (Cha Do-hyun):
If not for Ji Sung's acting, this show would have fallen flat for me. How can he make me miss him while I'm watching him?? Many times, I was longing for Cha Do-hyun while watching Shin Se-gi and vice versa. He took on each of the seven roles so well and brought the story to life. His acting is soooo believable.

Hwang Jung-eum (Oh Ri-jin)
She's not a bad actress, just very unpleasant to watch for the most part. She's so extra and is incapable of portraying any emotion without moving every muscle in her face, I don't want to call it overacting because she is a good actress but I just couldn't stand this character and her quirks.

Park Seo-joon (Oh Ri-on/ Omega/ Oh Hwi)
I'm coming to realise that I may not love Seo-joon that much as an actor, more so just an individual. Or maybe I don't like the roles he takes on. Out of four dramas that I've watched him in, I only liked his character in Fight for my way. He was really good in this drama and Hwarang too but I just didn't like his characters in either. I understand he feels obligated to be Ri-jin's protector but why is he constantly lurking behind her like a shadow? It's just off-putting.

In general, the only other outstanding actors apart from Ji Sung that come to mind are Ri-jin and Ri-on's parents.

Length;
It did not need to be 20 episodes long, it could have been 16. I don't like the idea that because a complex story is being told in a k-drama, it's elongated to 20 episodes. Unlike many shows (strong woman do bong soon, etc) it wasn't like there were any unnecessary scenes, the scenes were just way too long. About halfway into the show and onwards, most of the scenes consisted of little vital dialogue but mostly just overplayed flashbacks, repeated conversations and long silences, this was actually painful and exhausting to watch so I found myself skipping every 10 seconds, but only enough to not miss any important information within the scenes.

I recommend it if you are tired of shallow k-dramas but do not expect much from how the events actually play out. On the whole, the drama isn't very engaging or binge-able, but the story itself is uniquely gripping. I feel that most people gave it a high ranking because it feels like the show was written by a mastermind but if you step back and think... what more is there to it really?

A beautiful story about overcoming pain and trauma with someone who loves you wholeheartedly without judgments. I honestly didn't like the main female lead at first because she was too loud and obnoxiously childish in some scenes but I learned to like her character who's also smart, sensitive and caring. The main male lead did an awesome job acting out different personalities. The pain he experienced was palpable through the screen and you'll desperately want to dry his tears too. Another thing I liked in this story was the loving family who adopted her especially her "brother" Omega who's so supportive and lovable. I wanted to hang out with them and eat good food with well-crafted beer. I could go on and on about the positive attributes of this drama including "Yo Na" who chases her Oppa but it would take me awhile. Just go ahead, watch it and enjoy the ride!

draggy and too many flashbacks and unnecessary scenes

i liked the plot and the presence of so many personalities which enriched the plot. The acting from the main cast was also really good especially Jisung who was able to portray 7 different personalities and could switch between them immediately which was done crazily good.

However, I didn't like the fact that the drama was so slow and had SOOOO many flashback scenes as if the audience haven't saw these scenes more than twice already. Without these scenes, this drama could've been cut down to a 16 episode drama (but back then these kind of rich plot dramas are usually 20 episodes so maybe they had no choice lol). I was watching the whole drama at 2x speed but felt as if it was going at 1x. I also didn't really like how they tried to make Park Seo Joon's character be in love with her own sister (ik they are not blood-related but it was lowkey like incest considering how long they've spent their time together since they were children).

Stayed for Oh Ri On and Ahn Yo Na scenes LOL they were gold

So far the best drama i have watched upon now

Kill me, heal me is definetly my preferred drama up to now, I have been so addictef that I have already rewatched it, even if I prefer to discover new things rather than rewatching. Indeed, It took me some months to dedide to watch it,because I was afraid it was this kind of heavy plots, only aiming to make us cry.

What do I like most about it?

First of all, the story. The plot is different , the character suffering from D.I.D. will showcase seven different personalities developped from a childhood trauma and he will be helped by a female assistant in psychiastry and they will eventually fall deeply in love. We will not find here the toxic 2FL with childish and possessive behavior , an usual cliché in asian drama. The 2FL will try to conquer ML but she will not make damage to FL. ML and FL will have a mature relationship, in spite of their intrinsic difficulties caused by sad background and family”s adversities. FL is an intelligent and attentive to ML. The main personnality of ML is also sweet and respectful to FL. Their love is so cute and intense, beautiful to be seen.

Second, the actors. Ji Sung ’s acting is stellar, his personnalities are so perfectly constructed, he goes from the comedy to the intense drama, the strentght of his gazes. And besides he is so handsome, so charming. The other handsome actor, Park Seo Joon , is also great in his role and it is delightful to see both playing together, their scenes are unforgetables. I found that Hwang Jung Eum was very funny, but sometimes her play was over-acted or not convincing, specially as she cried. But her personnality added a touch of charm to the movie. She is quite charismatic. I also loved the kids, I suppose director’S work was outstanding.

Third , the OST. I listen mostly to classical music and jazz in my daily life. And even if the style of music is far from what I eat, this OST hooked in my head, it was really perfect to the movie. I want to learn the lyrics little by lityle, because it is in my head & heart, but too fast for my absence of Koreal langage level.

Besides, the main characters were beautiful and well constructed. The ML’S personnalities were so impressive, so rich. As well as the childhood relationship between main lead couple.


/*SPOILER*/


The ending is also original and pleasant.

I will surely rewatch it again one of these days.

Hard to get into, but harder to let go

When I first began this drama, I was really turned off by the ridiculous humor of the show. Not gonna lie, I was also incredibly confused at first and totally had to rewatch the first half hour several times just to understand what was happening. The show starts off in a really *intense* manner with lots of screaming and unnecessary fighting which could deter some viewers from the drama, but it does significantly calm down the farther into the drama you get, much to my relief. And yes, I am sadly one of those people that is going to tell you that the female lead's screaming doesn't get better and DOES get on my nerves just a bit. I learned to deal with it, but I still kinda cringed every time she said something in an unnecessarily loud voice. There wasn't all that much second male lead action going on, and I do believe it would be kinda weird if he ever made a move on her, anyway, so it's all good. The storyline, therefore, almost exclusively focuses on cultivating the relationship between Cha Dohyun and Oh Rijin, although this drama is one heck of a confusing "slow burn" (?can I even call it that, though?) Although I almost left because of the humor, it is what partially made me stay and enjoy the drama. The ridiculousness of it grows on you and the amount of laughs they managed to pull out of Cha Dohyun's mentally illness was surprisingly high. I felt like we got to get to know all the personalities quite a bit, and there was a lot of character development, especially in one personality in particular. They ended up introducing a really complicated family mystery/cover-up story toward the end of the drama, and I cannot lie, they completely lost me and I still cannot for the life of me tell you what the heck went on 21 years ago, cause I tuned out of that storyline QUICK. Overall, though, this drama was worth watching, and it definitely got quite a few laughs out of me. I loved all the characters soo much, and this was just a wonderful blend of angst, humor, and romance. PS: ls Dohyun (or the actor whose name I do not remember) not the HOTTEST freaking person ever? SWOON 🙈

Amazing Drama That I Honestly Recommend

Let me keep this short.

So I basically delayed watching this drama for months. It just stayed on my watch list. I realised how big of a mistake that was when I started watching. The story and acting were both BRILLIANT! Not to mention that I fell in love with the ost... Although the lead actress's acting wasn't my cup of tea in a few small places, I'm guessing that was there for comedic relief.

The thing I did feel a little off about, which is the only reason I didn't give it a 10/10, was that in many areas the scenes were dragged out far longer than needed. Other than that, the series really couldn't have been better.

It was a lovely break from the world and handled many topics in a digestible way. Overall this has been one of my favourite series so far!

Yes, Yes, Yes.... I must admit, Ji Sung - you are totally awesome and super talented actor and I have to say, you never disappoint! Of course Hwang Jung Eum you are super talented and perfect to act with JS at all the times to and I mean that!

Finally, I made some time to watch this series (long overdue I know) and I can clap for plot, acting, music, and all wonderful production!
I am still amazed how talented JS is to switch form one personality to another (and love all of them) is simply pure talent! Amazing! Brilliant! Perfection!

If you have not watch KMHM yet, you should watch it asap. I waited too long!
I have to admit, the best drama watched by Ji Sung is "Secret" for me, but this one is right after!

I cant not say enough about this series because I want you to watch it and judge yourself that is why I am not saying no more except - I loved it!..... now it's your turn to love it too.
