After a rather-dull 2014, I must say 2015 kicked off with a loud bang. With dramas like Pinocchio and Healer concluding in the first two months, setting solid standards, it was rather difficult to surpass them. But Kill Me Heal Me did exactly that. I wouldn't say it exactly 'surpassed' them. More like it carried on their legacy. In short, Kill Me Heal Me was amazing. When I read the synopsis I seriously had no idea what to expect from this drama. An actor playing seven different personalities sounded like a really messy idea to me but at the same time I was really curious about how they'll pull it off. But once I started this drama, there was no looking back. The story just plunges you in, in the very first episode. Every character, every personality is just so wonderfully played. And at the centre of them all is Ji Sung. What a fabulous actor! He played all seven personalities with such conviction and so individualistically. Such a powerful performance, I have no words. Shin Se Gi, Perry Park, Ahn Yo Na, Ahn Yo Sub, they were all such awesome characters. My favorite was definitely Yo Na (I've replayed her scenes so many times but they're still so funny! Never a dull moment with her) but Shin Se Gi comes very close too (who doesn't love a sincere and protective bad boy?). Oh Ri Jin was equally awesome! She was so cute and not one-bit annoying. I love the actress! The rest of the cast was awesome, except for the cousin and his fiancee. They were annoying and unnecessary. But I guess it doesn't hurt to have a couple of characters to hate in a drama. I think another bonus in this drama was the humor. I mean, seriously, every episode was hilarious. So basically I was either laughing my ass off or crying with all my guts. And that's the best recipe for a great drama. It was beautiful. As for the OST, it definitely ranks on my top-15 OST of all time (if not top 10). Auditory Hallucination is like my drama-song of the year already. It's so catchy and the lyrics are so meaningful. I could probably write an entire review gushing about the song. The rest of the songs are beautiful too. I love Unspeakable Secret and Violet (by Ji Sung!). Overall this drama is a masterpiece (the current rank says it all - #4!) and a must-watch for Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum fans. Especially the ones who loved them together in Secret. Even though the two dramas are extremely different in tone and theme, the chemistry between the two actors is equally good in both. And for those who haven't watched Secret before this, watch this and then go check out Secret! You won't regret watching either.
