People also will tell you that this would be the one drama where the male lead is the same actor as the second male lead for whom you would get second male lead syndrome. Let's just say the main character's alter ego is also very charming and attractive in his own way and there's a whole fandom for that.
The plot line was super interesting, the acting was superb.
And spoiler alert, Ji Sung and Park Seo Joon won best couple in the drama awards that year. With each other.

Here's what you need to know:
- The first episode (the first half, especially) is hella weird, but it goes away in the second episode so don't worry about it. It just gets better and better and is simply *fantastic*.
- Happy ending (although it depends on which love interest you were rooting for).
- The screaming stops so don't worry about it (you'll get what I mean '^^).
- *Out of this world* acting for our male lead (like... I'm in *awe* to him. Acting like this I have... yet to see, anywhere).
- One of the very best OSTs - so very emotional and heartwarming :')
- Great character development (for all the characters) & plot that will keep you want to keep on watching. The plot is never boring, and I never once found it to be dragging. All I wanted to do was keep on watching (:
- HILARIOUS while keeps its romantic, sweet, and tragic/sad scenes so very emotional. You'll find yourself laughing and feeling for these characters so much.
- A unique concept that isn't usually dealt with (although they took more of a fantasy take on it, so don't expect it to be very accurate/medical).
- Just... watch it. Give it a try. Don't give up on this. It's... really... great.

She loved all of his personalities and him as a whole. He broke his mind into pieces to protect her and her memory. They're perfect for each other because they always tried to do what was best for the other one.
Yeah..we've finished it right now and we have to say it was one of the best and strongest kdrama and we loved it.The drama clearly and accurately explains a sensitive topic like personality disorder. There is only to learn and reflect with this drama.
So, thank you for the beautiful story it made us laugh, cry,scared and loved every seconds of it. Thanks Shin Se-gi, Thanks Perry Park, Thanks Ahn Yo-seob, Thanks Ahn Yo-na. But especially thanks to Ji Sung who was able to skillfully interpret all these characters with their personalities. He is an amazing actor and we still can't believe how well he acted in this one. Thank you "Ji Sung" for every moment of it!
Thanks to every single actor and the rest of the cast who took part in this wonderful kdrama

Story
Kill me, heal me is wonderfully written and keeps the mystery and melodrama of the story perfectly balanced with hilarious situations and scenes that will keep you entertained throughout the show. DID is a very controversial illness and there are many discussions about it but this drama manages to depict it perfectly and helps you understand the meaning and story behind each personality. One of the things I really liked about this drama is that it doesn't fall on the typical Kdrama cliché that can become boring or frustrating at times, the story is so rich and heartwrenching that there's no space for that. The storyline is full of suprprises that makes it hard for it to become predictable, even the antagonists have a totally different role throughout the story. The only "flaw" I found in the story was that in my opinion it lacked some closure to some characters in the end.
Acting/Cast
The acting in general is amazing but overall I have to pay special attention to JiSung's acting. The multifaceted acting and ability to bring to life so many different personalities is amazing. This is the first time I see him in a drama and I have to say I'm definitely watching all this dramas/movies because he's just an amazing actor. The way he changes not only the tone of his voice but also the look in his eyes makes me think he's the best Korean actor I've seen so far!
Hwang Jung Eum's acting didn't convince me in the beginning because I felt it was too similar to her role in She Was Pretty but shortly after, she managed to captivate me as she became a great heroine and developed a heartwarming and funny personality.
Overall, I loved the chemistry between the main characters and how they matured with each episode plus the great bromance that develops between the male characters!!!
Music
Personally, I usually get a bit tired of some of the songs played in dramas. Maybe because I usually watch several episodes in one day and that has something to do with it. But on KMHM the music is amazing and was probably one of the reasons why this show managed to make me shred several tears. The main theme, "Hallucination" is the perfect combination of soft vocals and rap that fits perfectly with the heartwarming and painful experiences of the main characters. It managed to give me the chills every time it was played and even now, after watching the whole drama, I've been listening to it over and over again!
Rewatch Value
I will definitely watch it again!!!!!!
Overall
If you are looking for a different type of story with intrigues, romanticism, mystery and melodrama without falling in the typical Kdrama storyline, Kill Me, Heal Me is everything you are looking for!!!!

THE BEST DRAMA !! Soooo Emotional!!
There are already hundreds of wonderful reviews about this drama, but I can't stop myself from writing this review. First of all I want to thank you all the cast of this series. About one year ago, I wanted to start this series, but for whatever reason, I hated the main male actor. Time passed and I finished multiple other dramas.About two weeks ago, I suddenly thought I had to start this series! I really don't know what got in me, but I just felt the need to watch the first episode (this drama is already very famous, but you know the feeling that you don't want to give a try watching a famous drama, although say it is great)?
That was my feeling. When I started this drama, it was wonderful from the very first episode. The more I watched it, the better it got. This drama is just awesome. I have watched many other dramas, but nothing as emotional and true as this! I don't even know how the male character could play these many different roles, and still make it very believable and honest. He is EXTREMELY TALENTED! There are series that no matter how hard you try, you don't like the male characters. The characters in this series were so real for me, like they were my own family or friends. Their sadness was me crying my eyes out! Especially the last episodes. I don't know how many teardrops they shed during the whole series, but I can say that they played their roles veryyyyyyyyyy well. One of the best couples I had ever seen.
This drama was full of emotions and I am saying this with all my heart. I cried a lot in the last episode and this was my first time crying like crazy. One of the reasons was that the drama was near the end and I didn't want it to end.
The sound track matched the atmosphere of the drama so well, and made it even more relatable (OST: Auditory hallucination).
If you haven't watched this drama, I just want to say "please watch it. I am sure you won't regret it. Just give it a try!"

Why didn't I watch it sooner?
This drama was absolutely one of the best. I hadn't watched a lot of dramas with this plot, so the plot was very unique to begin with. The acting was one of the most fascinating aspects of this drama, the fact that the main male character could play 7 roles, and make all of them relatable and believable to the audience. The way he looked was even different from one character to the other and I am so happy that I came across this point in other reviews as well. The female character did an excellent job in conveying her feelings and playing the role. Overall, the chemistry between the main leads was unforgettable.I didn't know I would love this drama so much, and I actually before I started this drama, I always thought I would hate it. But I suddenly changed my mind and decided to give it a try. And I am so happy because I watched the best drama out there. If I could, I would give the rewatch value 100. I am truly devastated after this drama ended. There weren't a lot of dramas which I wanted to continue forever, but this was one of the few ones.
Just listen to me and watch a few episodes. Without knowing it, you will be attracted to the atmosphere and the characters.
Don't forget tissues while watching it!

Watching this drama as it was airing, everything was great. It was gripping and fun. I have some problems with the show anyway.Love triangle between two of male leads characters and the female lead was like one of the best things I've ever watched. Yet, since the moment Ri On came in to the story as a rival in love, I think that's where it started going a bit downhill. He was a lot better as twin brother. His addition to the story kinda ruined the rewatch value for me.
Then again, Jisung's performance alone is an enough reason to watch this show.

I loved the plot and I empathised a lot with the main character. I think it's possible for anyone to relate to his neurotic personality, and with the inner fight we all have sometimes to find balance and happiness, and how the love of someone can make the path smoother.
The story was great: moving, well-written, and the series was well directed (that beginning, though), well edited and with high standard production values.
The music provided the right atmosphere in every scene. The single Auditory Hallucination is awesome and it really conveys the feelings of both main characters and their relationship. It's actually like a dialogue between both.
An honourable mention to Ji Sung, who was absolutely fantastic in the portrayal of the different personalities. As for Hwang Jung Eum, I liked her in dramatic scenes, but to be honest I found her a little irritating in the comedic ones.
Park Seo Joon was also fantastic. I really love this boy, he's a very promising young actor.
There is one thing, however, that I didn't like that much: since the writers realised that the character of Ahn Yo Na was being so successful, I have the feeling that some of the scenes in which she appears were just put there, and in my opinion it feels a little out of place, especially in the last episodes. In the beginning, her appearances were really funny, although that personality in particular didn't make much sense, unlike the rest of the characters, but later on it seems the writers just wanted to exploit the chemistry between her and Oh Ri On.
Aside from that, this was one of the best dramas from 2015 and I strongly recommend it.

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 ;)

It is one of those dramas where the actor does too good a job, you wonder if he's ever going to be able to find another drama where he will be able to give the same if not better performance and worry that he won't but i will hope.
