Kill Me, Heal Me (2015)

This show is one of the best. I don't deal with multiple personality disorders or anything like it. But I feel like it did a pretty good job talking about it. It wasn't perfect and their problem was a few things they did that wasn't the best. But overall I think this is a good show. It made me feel sad, happy, mad all in a good way. I like each of the characters that they made for the main dude multiple personalities that he had. They were easy to tell apart. Not once was I confused while watching this show. I know which alter he was every time he switched. The actors and actresses did a good job acting in this. It shows that the director cares about this a lot and puts his whole heart into it. The director did a good job on this show. The script was well written. The translations were good too. The actor’s hair, makeup, and outfits all look very nice. They did a good job on it. The show was never once boring. There was lots of drama and everything that happened made lots of sense. The romance was really well done too. They both had great chemistry together. I would recommend anyone who loves romance and/or medical drama to watch this.

Brilliant acting

I was exhausted by the time I finished this show! There are so many twists and turns in this story, you need a map. It was an original story, very entertaining, but very emotional. Ji Sung is the male lead, and on a scale of 1 to 10, I'd give him a 20 for this part! He had trauma in his life which cause him to develop multiple personalities. Each personality was so believable and there were so many heartbreaking scenes. I have to score down for two reasons, one was the overabundance of bad guys, and the other was for the female lead, played by Hwang Jung Eum. She tends to stay on the comedy side of the spectrum which was jarring in a lot of the scenes - her screaming and shrieking were very distracting. She was much better in the emotional scenes toward the end. I felt the ending was rushed after all the drama they went through, but this show has one of the best lines ever in ep 1 "Remember - January 7, 2015 at 10:00 on the dot. The time I fell for you." If for no other reason, watch this for Ji Sung's acting.

I had really high expectations with this drama. And i have to be honest,the first half of the drama was pretty average for me. Ji Sung was absolutely wonderful and i don't have anything bad to say about him,his acting was wonderful and i loved every character he displayed. It's not easy to portray seven different characters and he freaking did it but Hwang Jung Eum always has childish roles and i don't understand why. She was the same in "She was pretty",a really anxious and loud character. And i don't like characters like that,they might be funny but it gets to a point when they're really annoying.

But I was definitely pleasantly surprised with the last 3-4 episodes. I really loved the plot twist! My mouth was hanging with surprise.

Overall,it's not really the best drama i've ever watched but it was enjoyable.

To be completely honest, I think Ji Seungs acting is enough reason to watch this drama. How he managed to portray his different personalities while making them all believable...his performance was outstanding!
As for Hwang Jeong Ums acting, I did think she was annoying at first. Gladly she kinda grew on me the more I got into the drama and, I don't know, it seemed like she really meant what she said.

As I couldn't get this drama out of my head during the days and to then rush home to watch some more episodes, I think it is pretty solid to say that I really enjoyed it.
The plot was interesting enough to keep me entertained, it was well paced all the way through.

Short review
First of all I'd like to divide kmhm into 2 parts.
From ep1:7 and from 7:20

The first part was actually boring, it didn't grab my attention but I kept pushing myself due to all the great reviews about it... But I reached a point where I didn't care so I dropped the drama in the middle of the 6th episode for months.
When I got back to watching it again I decided to give it one more chance... And figured that I dropped it just when it was about to get better :D

So the first 6 episodes were meh like I said but the remaining episodes were so much better.. It got me hooked slowly then after 3 4 ep I was strongly addicted that I couldn't wait to find out what will happen next.

The second part was amazingly good that I was so mad at how the writers made me nearly drop it and miss watching this amazing story unfold.

The plot was amazing, all I could think while watching is how did they think of such a sad and beautiful story. They unfold it perfectly, every piece at a time (but after 6 eps of nothingness, unfortunately)

The acting was spectacular although during a few scenes I thought the actors were a little bit exaggerating but overall I didn't mind.

The osts were perfect I think this is the best plot music match I've seen in kdramas.

Overall I strongly suggest watching this... If you could bear the first episodes, you will find the story very beautiful and the wait well deserved. :)

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.

Love will heal what's killing you inside.

I'm so glad that this drama exists. And I would never know that Ji Sung is an amazing actor if I didn't watch this one. I mean he's damn cool , how did he portray all 7 personalities I don't know but he was truly Daebak! Even Park Seo-joon was cool too and I have to say the interaction between Park and Ji Sung as Oh Ri-On and Ahn Yo-na in the cafe was a chef's kiss. The plot is well-written and the OST - Auditory Hallucination - still my most fav OST. Ji Sung has a great chemistry with Hwang Jung-eum but the FL's voice is quite irritating in some scenes. Anyways, I don't wanna give any spoilers, you'll never regret if you watch the show and if you don't watch it, you have a long way to go as a K-drama fan.

Fun fact: Both Lee Seung Gi and Hyun Bin were offered the role of Cha Do-hyun (name of the ML in series), but declined. I'm glad they did. Nobody could play this role other than Ji Sung and he proved it well.

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?
