Why?
1. The chaebol's money didnt do much for the leading lady. The money only provided a chance for us to enjoy the eye candy of luxurious surroundings. Love Cha Dong Hyeon's house!! His grandma's house is an overkill. Plus do they really need that many servants bowing to them. There's only 2 people living in that house.
Please writers no more of this sh*&. Most rich people are very cheap & greedy - that's how they accumulate that wealth.
2. Leading Man has mucho psycho problems due to previous generation's wrongdoing (psss - money is root for evil.) Leading woman who is a psychiatrist felt sorry for the dude & CHOSE to help him & show him that humble life is the happy life. Yay!
During my 2nd rewatch - Only miss is that leading woman was too docile in the relationship - he always got choose whether to take her or not. Wish there was a little push & pull that Master's Sun does have.
Aside from irresistible good looks - wanted to see more other qualities that makes the leading woman fall for him other than sympathy or childhood connection.
Ji Sung is a great actor - but somehow I am not convince that Cha Do Hyeon really fell for Oh Ri Jin. They should've show more of her abilities/appeal!
That's all folks. I am off to rewatch more Kill Me Heal Me!

amazing drama
I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for the leading lady. Every time she appears on the screen I want to turn it off. I find her acting so unconvincing and overdone. Her character is supposed to be a doctor but it comes out as a silly girl with those fake facial expressions and overdone mannerisms. It has made me so angry. I cant imagine this drama had a director who directed this character throughout the show. In many cases she waters down the main guy character so much you just want to cry. I would have given this a perfect ten if it wasn't for her.The leading man was AMAZING. SO emotional and sexy. swoon* every identity came out beautifully. of course Segi stood out (maybe it was the eyeliner) nevertheless JiSung totally made this drama. Haven't seen him in anything else yet but I will look for some.
The rest of the characters are okay and play their part well. No complaints
Story very good. Abit slow at some points but that s Kdrama for you. Much love
I am struggling to finish this drama because the story is coming together so well, its getting so nice and emotional but the leading lady is just there making silly facial expressions (sigh)

7 IN 1, THE BEST!!
The BEST of Jisung's Dramas! ✨7 variations in acting for 7 personalities 👌🏻
All his 7 personalities are well written n very well performed by Jisung.
U can clearly see the difference in his acting for 7 characters 👌🏻
Yo Na calling out "Oppaaa" is very funny.
Loved baby gal Yo Na n Perry Park a lot :)
Cha do hyun is the lover boy, we want!
Shin se gi is the bad boy, we drool for!!
****
At times, it's just repetitive or a Content filler, prolonging the no. of eps mindlessly but
Overall, THOROUGHLY ENJOYABLE
(Enjoyable, all bcz of Jisung :) )
OST is Good .
Direction, Production, Acting, everything is Good and written well except the minor discomfort about the Main Leads' relationships, throughout the drama - half siblings, adopted siblings in love !? :o
Could have wrapped up well in 15-16 eps, instead of 20 :/
(That content filler repetitions KILLED ME, this OST HEALED ME! 😂)
**** HEAVY SPOILER:
This might be the TWIST in the story n so can't be revealed.
But to be clear n warn the discomfort with the relationships of ML, FL n FL, 2nd ML, the TWIST has to be revealed here. Oops, Sorry!
Throughout the series, there's a mystery n suspense continued that looked like ML n FL are either half siblings or step siblings n only in the last episodes, it is made clear that they are not Either!
Also FL is adopted n grown up with 2nd ML as his sibling. So adopted siblings' romance is also not acceptable (even if it's one sided from him :/ )
So Both the tracks make the viewer lose interest heavily! :(
But continued to watch all bcz of Jisung n his 7 characters n loved this drama only bcz of his characters, ignoring the romance tracks.
****
My Rating - 9.5 / 10 , only for Ji Sung n his good performance in 7 roles .

Very 2015
It's more comedy than the premise lets on. While it also embraces deep aspects of trauma beautifully, it took a while to get there. The first 7 episodes were a chore to watch and I'm just glad I stuck through that. The FL screamed a lot and her acting was generally really annoying. Except for some scenes, I was not a fan. The ML on the other hand did a great job of acting out multiple personalities and the emotional scenes were amazing!One part of the story that really bothered me, was the strong pseudo-incestrous touch between FL and her brother and also ML. It was really not necessary and made me cringe a lot at times.
I loved how in the end, everything came together and the plot twist of the show was great. I really did not see it coming.

A hidden gem
I think that everyone who started recently to watch kdrama should at least watch Kill me Heal me of the get the chance.I think that my words will be useless since it's one of my favorite shows of all time, I think it's hard to find another one with the same theme or plot that will be better than Kill me Heal me.
I first watched it when I was still a baby in terms of Kdrama, or Korean shows, anyway, and now I'm rewatching it since it's REALLY good, and then I realized that I didn't write a review about this show. What a shame!
So I'm writing one now, and the only thing I have to say to put it in a very simple way is...
If you love good acting
Interesting plot
Amazing soundtrack
Chemistry
And absolutely COMEDY
YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY WATCH IT RIGHT AWAY!!!!
kill me heal me is a mix of pure comedy with deep romance and meanings in life, this kdrama is full of amazing things and the ofc, an amazing acting coming from Ji Sung playing as 7 differents characters!
Anyway! It's a definitely must to watch kdrama!

I honestly recommend everyone of you to watch this drama! The three main characters have done a great job, especially Ji Sung. He acted out 7 different characters due to that his character has Dissociative/ Multiple Identity Disorder.
Things I liked:
-How the storyline went. (Romance, Comedy)
-How good and professional the actors acts
-Good quality
-Good music/ost
-No boring parts throughout the whole drama
Things I disliked:
TBH none, its just a really good drama that I've enjoyed watching a lot
Wait theres one thing!
-Each episode made me cried at least 3 times, so be ready for it!!!
Highly recommended drama!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just want to emphasize this NOT a comedy drama .. it has it's funny moments but it deals with a lot of serious topics and made me cry a lot specially in the last episode
I recommend this drama but don't expect that you will laugh a lot during this .. it is something hardcore

I was sure that this was going to be in my favorites list. Absolutely positively. But based on what others said, personally, I didn't shed a single tear, nor was I heartbroken or shocked by this drama. The start of it was strong - suspense, romance building so fast since the very beginning. However, the story got quite draggy all of the sudden. Many things were repeated over and over again. I don't know, maybe it's the effect of watching a 20 episode drama, when you start craving something completely new. Nevertheless, I did find myself enjoying the whole flow, character development and the unique comedy amongst all of them. The storyline looks somewhat unrealistic at the first glance, but somehow, the directors made it work. Or was it the acting?
And most importantly when it comes to Kill Me Heal Me, I think everyone was drawn in by the characters, or the actors that actually played them. I won't be able to stress this enough, but Ji Song was fantastic in this! The way he played every one of his personalities show this actor's real talent and potential to be casted in literally any drama of any genre. Apart from the male actor, there was a lot of screaming from the female lead. Thank god that she settled down towards the end of the drama. Even Park Seo Joon, who is, by the way, my favorite actor of all time, was great in this as a side character. Totally deserves to the the nation's oppa!~
I noticed that everyone loved the main track called "Auditory Hallucination" from the OST. It's a great song, but they shouldn't have overplayed it in the drama. In addition, love the fact that the actors themselves participated in the recording of the songs for this series!
So that's just my tiny little opinion about the well-known and appreciated series Kill Me Heal Me. It would've been a favorite of mine as well, but it got super stretched out and repeated lots of things. However, I think the amazing acting makes up for the flaws! So go watch it and see for yourselves!

Imagination should be saved for the future.
Okay, so, the bad, the good, and the DID.Let's go in that order. So, the story is essentially about a man with DID who eventually meets a doctor, and one of his personalities falls for her. There is past history and childhood trauma, the whole works. In regards to tropes, this one ticks a lot of boxes, but not in a disinteresting way. The story keeps moving for the most part, and the different personalities make to keep it interesting along the way. There is, of course, a company that everyone's fighting for and this offers some tense exchanges between characters as well as some fun exchanges. Probably the biggest flaw in this was the FL and her brother. The FL can be loud and screamy and though she's numerously pointed out to be a tough character, she often wavers in the face of forcefulness or manipulation. They make up for it in other parts, so it wasn't completely unbearable but I would have liked her to be a bit more consistent. Meanwhile the brother is at times forceful and goes behind her back to what he thinks is right. This unfortunately leads to some tense and frustrating scenes that seemed to have no place except to create extra drama. Despite those annoyances, the skip bar is there for a reason and it's easy to get past those grievances.
Now, the good and the DID. The acting on everyone's part was pretty good, but the one that shined was the ML. Ji Sung delivered a flawless performance as he tackled 5/6 different personalities. If you don't know, DID stands for Dissociative Identity Disorder and generally takes place when a traumatic event happens causing the mind to protect itself. Ji Sung acts as Cha Do Hyun who suffers from this illness and must navigate his day to day life with these other personalities popping out every so often. It makes for some funny and sad adventures. The slow reveal of the story is quite good, and just endure through the subpar CGI as it is a plot device. There were some strings that were left untied in the story, but they weren't super glaring so it wasn't a huge problem. They do address child abuse in here, though it's not too explicit, and I loved how they lightly tackled blame shifting. It was subtle, but it was there and I appreciated it. The OST is AMAZING. I often went back and listened to it over the years before I got around to finishing this, and I still love it.
All in all, a good drama that stays pretty straightforward. I would recommend giving this a go if you're looking for something mildly serious with some romance. Also, just watch for the five different personalities. They made for some very fun and heartbreaking drama watching.
