Psychology and mystery themed fiction. Both play on the mystery relationship between the leads.
Green Tea is more conversational/dialogue-based, less happens; KMHM has a bigger journey/more happens...but regardless both give their take on psychology.
Green Tea is a chinese film, while Kill Me Heal Me is a korean drama.

Mystery and multiple people involved. In Kill Me Heal Me, these people are the various personalities of the male lead who has mutiple personality disorder; in Mysterious Summer the mysteries surround different people as it is an anthology series with different leads each ep.
KMHM is a korean drama, while MS a chinese drama. Recommeded chinese drama for people who don't even normally like chinese dramas (I'm one of those people)!
Recommended for fans of original mysteries / not just an ordinary detective story!

I felt some Kill Me, Heal Me vibes while watching Link. They both have severe childhood trauma centered mysteries, a touch of fantasy, and emotional healing and closure from past trauma. Link, although a great drama, was unfortunately unable to capture the amazing charm and chemistry that Kill Me, Heal Me radiates.
A traumatic childhood experience leaves Cha Do Hyeon, suffering from memory loss and dissociation. The latter has resulted in the creation of seven distinct personalities. Wanting to regain control over his life, he asks Oh Ri Jin, a first-year psychiatric resident, to help him, but she eventually falls in love with one of his personalities. Ri Jin’s twin brother, Oh Ri On, a famous mystery novelist, investigates Do Hyeon and his family.
Multiple people involved in a relationship with one person...:
In KMHN 7 personalities/characters due to multiple personality disorder, played by one actor; meanwhile in TBI 21 actors playing one and the same character!
Oh, and both have one actor in common: Park Seo Joon.
In KMHM he plays the 2nd lead character, in TBI he is one of the 21 actor/actresses who plays the male lead character.

Both involve MULTIPLE RELATIONSHIPS, psychology and comedy-darkness blend.
In KMHM there's 7 characters/7 relationships due to male leads multiple personality disorder; meanwhile in Love Shuffle there's several different relationships due to a group of people deciding to "shuffle"/swap relationship partners with each other multiple times, to test if there exists such a thing as "soulmate"/one person that's better for you.
While both have multiple relationships, both also have a couple of rootable MAIN couples/OTPs with a good romance arc; making shipping easier, while keeping the complexity of the relationship/s and story in tact!
Recommended for fans of psychology, drama-comedy combo, deep and complex characters and story and believable OTP/romance.
Both high quality dramas that deserve a better rating on MDL.

It tells the story of the soul exchange between a prince who has lost his smile and a saddle-carrying merchant who has lost her memory.
Joseon Crown Prince Yi Gang, who lost his crown princess, gave up his own happiness and only thought about revenge. When Yi Gang's long-planned revenge plan finally took the first step, he met the saddle-carrying merchant Park Dal I who looked exactly like the deceased crown princess, and exchanged bodies for unknown reasons, falling into a series of chaos.

Both: are comedy mixed with melodrama (although I think BotC is a bit more dark and KMHM is a bit more cornball), have people doing dirty deals to try to inherit money/power/family business, feature a sibling-like relationship between the leading lady and the 2nd lead male, have a mystery surrounding both the leading lady and the leading man, leading men have trust issues due to people always wanting to take advantage of them for money, are well done.
Also known as 'Autumn in My Heart'. If you are a Park Seo-joon fan and were wondering 'what if' his feelings were reciprocated by Hwang Jung-eum, look no further than this melodrama series that kicked off the Korean Wave. Hotness itself Song Seung-heon stars alongside beautiful Song Hye-kyo in this tragic tale of (not real) sibling love.
Both feature an ML with multiple personalities and explore mental health and the characters' inner struggles. Both also treat the alters as individuals with their own feelings and desire to exist. Ji Sung and Vincent Wong both do an amazing job portraying the different identities, making each one genuinely feel like a different person.
They're quite different in genre though. Kill Me Heal Me is more of a romance/healing drama with lots of comedy, with childhood trauma playing a major part in the story. Murder Diary is a much darker mystery/crime thriller. The ML is a police officer, and his different identities work together to investigate criminal cases.
Romance also plays a major part in both. Kill Me Heal Me has one FL, while Murder Diary has two FLs. In Murder Diary, it's interesting to see how the ML's different identities have very different chemistry with the two FLs.
If you enjoyed the multiple personalities and psychological themes in Kill Me Heal Me, Murder Diary is definitely worth checking out. And if you're coming from Murder Diary, Kill Me Heal Me explores similar themes in a much lighter and more healing-focused way.
