I dropped it after Episode 14 and I have to say that while this drama is really unpredictable at times, the overall setup and execution is predictable and cliche to the point were there's no point in watching anymore because you figure out quickly what they're trying to do and accomplish. But in turn, I've read the recaps for the few episodes remaining and while nothing surprised me, I'm glad it ended on a high note so this review isn't really the complete review but I've gone as far as I can with this drama.

It started off loud and for the first little bit it was quite entertaining. Do Hyun's different personalities and the relationships within. A very unique and intriguing subject surrounding mental health. How the past shapes and molds our futures.

JS has the best acting range in the industry. It takes someone special to pull off convincingly the variety of complex characters he was tasked to showcase. Everyone else played their parts accordingly. I will admit HJE's constant screaming was annoying but she had some great moments too. It is funny especially with the Perry Park and Yo-na scenes. The OST was okay, I was surprised by Gotye.

The flashbacks really do hinder the story though for me. It's not crazy happenstance, it's fated crazy happenstance which is very tricky to achieve. I think the present time stories really suffered because of the over-reliance on flashbacks. KYR and OMS characters were severely underwritten and were non factors. If you told the story chronologically, would it have the same impact that it was supposed to or would it keep the viewer guessing enough to last the whole viewing without being told how to feel, I tend to go with the former.

I also note that when this aired, there was another similar drama at the same time, Hyde, Jekyll, Me and I had seen and completed that before this one but I still consider KMHM the more serious of the two and overall much better executed story. So if HJM didn't do enough, KMHM does more than enough and some might say too much.

It really is amazing the cast choice is brilliant the way that Ji Sung plays his part is amazing i don't think many actors would have done it as well. Also the story is really good and interesting i've rewatched it many times now and every time i still have to watch them all in one go cause i can't leave them. I will definitely carry on rewatching this.

Master Class in Acting

This is one of my all-time favorite series. Ji Sung is amazing and you can see the acting depth and breadth with his portrayal of all his various multi-personality characters. His co-star Hwang Jung-eum is also fun to watch. She provides warmth and emotional vulnerability and the perfect support for the male lead. In terms of medicine, Oh Ri Jin crosses so many lines and would be considered a terrible doctor, but in terms of story, it works. I don't want to provide any spoilers--just watch and enjoy!

I saw this drama the same year I saw Healer (2015) and I have to say they are the best dramas I watched on 2015.

Kill me Heal me is a well rounded story, it has romance, suspense, comedy and even some action. One of the strong points of this drama is that there's no love triangle, the romance is pretty straightforward and sweet. The story will intrigue you since the first episode and you won't be able to stop watching.

The plot is so well made that the story keeps moving at an excellent speed and there's no boring parts at all.

The cast is superb, everyone acted they roles excellent and Ji Sung was the perfect choice for this role. He interprets all the personalities different and you really feel you're seeing a different person there. I don't think any other actor could have made this role a success. I'm his fan since I saw him here, and will be forever.

There are many people who think Hwang Jung Eum's acting i over the top most of the times, but I think her chemistry with Ji Sung is awesome and that they work together perfectly.

You'll really enjoy de suspense in the plot since you'll never figure out all the plot twist that keep coming and the truth hidden at the end of this journey. The script is one of the best I have seen with a romance-suspense story since it has the right balance an mount of each.

Finally the OST is ver memorable specially "Auditory Hallucinations" the mix of the female singer and the rapper make an outstanding song that keeps playing in your memory for a long time.

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS

I literally have five more episodes of this show but I can't go any further with this show. My main problem is the family connection between all the characters. because I am on Episode 15 and from what I keep hearing and seeing that cha Do Hyun is registered as the child of Min Seo Yun but then later we see a photo of Min Seo Yun and Oh Ri Jin when she was young so we are supposed to assume that that is her real mother. But if that is the case then that would mean Oh Ri Jin and Cha Do Hyun would be related because they have the same mom. but even if that is not true because we hear that Shin Hwa Ran is his actual mom he is just registered and someone else's child. even that would mean that Ri Jin shares the same father with Do Hyun and that would make them half-siblings. the thought of them being siblings and doing all the things they have done leading up to this point makes me want to throw up. ANOTHER THING that I didn't hear people talk about is that Ri Jin's "twin brother" Ri On is literally in love with her and it seems like people are ignoring that. like I know that there not actually related but they were raised as siblings, TWIN SIBLINGS at that, and for him to see her in a romantic light even when they go around calling each other brother and sister makes me want to throw up and cry. I literally wasted over 14 hours of my life watching a show people hyped up just to find out they are siblings and that they have kissed each other. These weren't the only things I disliked about this show but this was the big and main reason I dropped this show.


If I am wrong about this statement or if this stuff gets cleared up if I continue the show then please leave a message. but for now, I am not going to waste any more time on this show.

Overhyped drama

This drama was on my watchlist due to its high scoring in MDL. I, unfortunately, was not able to connect with it at all. The story (that I watched) was interesting but what made me lose interest was the FL. FL's character is of a psychiatrist and yet she screeches, yells, and has anger management issues. At no time did she behave as a psychiatrist and most often came across as if she needed to visit one.

I really tried to ignore the actress playing the character and shift my attention toward the ML, but I reached a stage where I just could not stand watching her gimmicks.

Dropped out as I was in no mood to be accommodating.

It was amazing the best story ever , I dont know why I didnt watch it earlier, I had it marked down in my list IN MY MIND WHILE I WAS DEBATING TO WATCH IT OR NOT; I said its another love story aaah another medical drama, AND IT HAS COMEDY !!? Its not going to be anything serious its going to be all fun and jokes. I didnt even bother in reading the review, Now!! Oh please do hit me in the head , Im so embarrassed it was was the best drama ive watched so much that I watched it in One whole day I fell asleep at 4am and I finished it; I didnt want to wait another day. The funny moments were moments that can really. Make you laugh, and the sad ones can really make you cry oh of course only if you really put attencion, when I never cried was when. Someone in my household got me distracted and I could follow the emocions, so to really taste it its best alone or with someone who doesn't talk a lot, :)

Music: AWESOME everytime the music came on I felt like my soul was being sucked in, the voices were perfect for the drama

ACTING: PERSONALLY speaking I dont know how hard it is to act but doing different voices personalities must be hard, I appreciate his acting, Her acting was Good too they make a Good couple, they both can make you laugh and cry.

WHAT I DIDNT LIKE ; HERE GOES, I dont want people thinking that its a bad ending or anything, in its own way it was good totally Good, but personally speaking; I who have watched so many endings, would have liked to see a lot more,( I dont know if this is considered a spoiler) but I was expecting more of a relationship with the father after everything was cleared out I dont think his father ever found out about his D.I.D (personality disorder) probably that part was the most confusing for me; probably is just me hahah. None nobody in the family came to say sorry to the girl, even the name her mother gave her was taken away ,even though she was okay with it, OK OK LIKE I SAID THE DRAMA IS AWESOME THERE NONE OTHER LIKE IT EVEN THE ENDING WAS GREAT ALL IVE SAID IS JUST MY PERSONAL THINKING YOU definitely have to watch it don't read my negative comments or my bickering it's just my way of explaining ,what I thought would have been a better ending, but I did like this ending ok, its such a good drama that even if somebody tries and spoiles it for you, you wont feel like its getting spoiled, because even if someone tries to explain it to you, when your watching the drama is such a different vibe a different movement it makes you go haywire the drama absorbs all your time.
Good day bye bye hopefully this is helpful

STORY
It had a fresh concept but there was a hidden big cliche which made me bored...
because once you understand the concept there was nothing new.just another story about the dark past about a third-generation billionaire and his love story..even though there was a twist it was not that strong.
it just had that one path ..so it was unable make a flood of different emotions
i would reduce the rating for the story but i think that new concept deserve something..

CAST
Ji Sung.
Hats off to Ji Sung..he portrayed all those 7 different personalities amazingly..If you are a Ji Sung's fan you MUST watch it..There were two personalities which were eye candies..
Hwang Jung Eum
She did her part well but character-wise there was nothing special.
Park Seo Joon
His character was cute and he portrayed it well..

Basically this drama had great cast who did their job well.

Music
Good OST ...helped to enjoy the drama and the emotions..

Summary
NEW CONCEPT BLENDED WITH CLICHES DECORATED WITH A GOOD CAST!

Stunning performance from Ji Sung

This was an absolutely outstanding drama. Ji Sung took acting to a new level. Every emotion was delivered superbly. I do hope he got rewards for his performance. 3 Superb actors working together. I laughed at the beginning so much then it became intense and they cried buckets. Omega's character was creepy but he did a great job. Oh Ri is always a treat to watch. She is a comedic star. Loved her in 'She was Pretty' with Omega. South Korea produces some magnificent actors. This drama was in a class of it's own. Loved it and highly recommend it.

I made a list. KDrama list.The must watch. They're 70 total of it.
I pick Kill Me Heal Me as the 1st drama I'm gonna watch frm the list. And yes!!! I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so glad I picked this drama. I got stucked with this drama frm the first 15min or 10min of Ep1!!!!
I'm just, so blown away. Then keep keep keep watching it and finish it within just three days.
Fr those two days, I sleep at 5:30AM. Muahahaha

The plot, the actor was awesome!!! I can't describe how much I love them!!!!!
Hwang Jung Eum, fr me her scream is hillarious. It's not even annoying. It seems like she don't even care about her face anymore. xD Her acting was good too! Love it!

Ji Sung. Hmmmm, THE BEST ACTOR EVER! EVER! How can a person be so talented to act like, what? 7 personality? Hmm woww. <3 I really got goosebumps on his acting. HE IS SO FREAKING CUTE. HIS PUPPY SMILE. OMG. AND HE IS SO HANDSOME WHICH I MEAN, SHIN SE GI OR CHA DO HYUN OR ELSE.
I love all of the personality and yeah is it just me or anyone else tht feels sad after watching this drama? T___T . Shin Se Gi shiiii. YoNa shii. YoSub shii. Perry Park shii. Nana shii.

The music, yes ofcourse. You'll love it. The lyrics also describe perfectly abt the main role and the plot and the D.I.D. The plot maybe didn't explain more abt the wht happen to the supporting role, but you can figure it out. i'LL MISS THIS DRAMA SO MUST. WORTH WATCHING!
