The flaw was in the first kissing scenes i cringed, i mean how long does it take to reach the lips infront of you. It felt like 30 minutes of looking into each others eyes and tilting and closing and opening eyes and bla bla, shin se ki wouldn't waist time.
Its an overall great story with less evil and annoying exes/family. Alot of laugh out moments from perry park and yo na (gi ji be)
Another thing i noticed is whenever shin se ki is around or close to ri jin, a specific music will come on. Which suited the moment esp last episode. (Jang jae in ft nashow - auditory hallucination) Episode 17 was like ripping off a bandaid, thats when the whole truth comes out and lots of tears.
this is the summary of the personalities.
Cha do hyun - main, calm, levelheaded
shin se ki -. Wolf, badass, hot
Perry park- flashy, accent, makes bombs
ahn yo seob - 17yrs, twin, suicidal
ahn yo na- twin girl, teenager, hilarious
na na - little girl, teddy bear
mr x - nana's dad, magician

Story:
Overall the entire plot was great! I only have a few critics about the ending. I felt that 20 episodes wasn't enough for this drama to unfold. The last two episodes was rushed and it seemed that the production just had to pack everything in. However, the scripts were beautifully written and the actors did an amazing job with presenting what the writers had wanted.
Acting:
Jisung deserves all the awards that comes his way at the year end drama awards, why? Not only did he take on seven different roles, he was able to make me cry throughout the drama. Jungeum was great, but honestly in some scenes her acting was awkward. I feel that Seojoon will be nominated for best supporting role and hopefully he will win them. Then again, for this I'd like to focus heavily on Jisung's acting. No words can describe how amazing he portrayed a man living with DID. They all did an amazing job with presenting what the writers had wanted when making this story plot. My heart ached when they ached and loved when they loved. Is that weird? Props to this amazing cast. One of my favorite casts ever.
Music:
Loved the two main songs that were played throughout the drama. Let's just say the "cool" rap song and the sad song by Myungjin. I recommend not searching the songs until you hear them played in the drama. It will be ten times better afterwards.
I'll definitely rewatch this again when the time comes. It was certainly a different type of drama I didn't expect would be produced. It wasn't as cliche or oddly different than the rest. In my opinion, this did a better job than Hyde, Jekyll and Me.

I've been hearing and reading rave reviews about it and I can attest to every single one of them- this is a diamond drama and I mean the real deal.
The story has been thought out from the very first episode and it is unfolding at every small piece each episode and never drags out or wavers. There are moments where you will laugh out loud and there are others where you will shed a tear and want to hug the characters. And this is what makes a drama stand out, when there is a perfect balance between the two. And there was truly that perfect line between the two.
The acting is top notch from everyone but as expected, Ji Sung had to carry out a very heavy acting :burden" and oh boy did he did do it! The guy deserves all the awards in the world, he was simply sublime in every single personality he had to pull out. He was really phenomenal and he deserves all the credit in the world. Hwang Jung-Eum had a very difficult task as well, balancing a stubborn, loud, enthusiastic yet vulnerable doctor- their chemistry was great as well. (I still need to watch Secret btw) But yeah, like I said everyone was absolutely awesome in their roles, hence the 10 I gave in the acting category. (the kids too, brilliant, just brilliant performances) I guess if I had to praise a category the most, that would be the acting, yep.
The music is great, both the tracks and the instrumental set the tone perfectly.
If you haven't watched it already, do yourself a favor and please do- it's hands down one of the best dramas out there, an epic ride you don't wanna miss!
To every person that worked to bring Kill me Heal me to life, well done guys, it was an epic ride!

Great Story, Twist Plot, Great Comedy, Great romance, Great Ost, Great actor, so what else
The story is so refreshing, even there's maybe have a lack story from villain aspect, but because this story center is about Cha Do hyun, Oh Rijin and the alter healing story is not really matter
in last episode we scare the story will drop etc because so many things need to explain, but the writer success create a nice ending even there's still have so many question, we're satisfied
Jisung acting is really Daebak. He can act as 7 personality really well, especially when he act as Ahn Yo Na- the girl alter. The strange thing is i feel the same, i never saw Yona as a man...i always saw Yona as a rebellious teenage girl...Jisung really good actor,beyond my imagination, he really make Yona alive as a girl- LOL -
it's really recommended drama, i hope in the end of the year this drama will get many award, especially Jisung, he really deserves a DAESANG

3. The DID and all personalities
In each episode we can see a little of each personality of Cha do Hyun and he has 7ok? So you can imagine how it can be fun. The personalities are so different each other, going to the Badboy to Crazy teenage girl. I just love How the writers introduced the personalities to us, always of a funny way.
2. The story behind of the main couple
Since the beginning we can see that Cha Do Hyun and Ri Jin have something that makes them ends together. Their first meeting as Shin Se Gi, one of personalities that says a pharse that makes all hearts melt, and I can say I was one hahaha I loved even with their afraid, insecurities and abuses in the past they were always together, they were intertwined, and over the episodes them overcome it together.
1. Ji Sung acting Skills
I'M TOTALLY AMAZED WITH JI SUNG! He did it, and did it perfectly. He can handle all personalities in the same time, when he portrayed a teenage girl he really passed to me he was a teenage girl, the same way he passed to me he was a Kind heart guy in the other moment a Badboy. Serisly He is a amazing actor, Now I'm in love with Him. I never can forget - Oppa, Catch me! hahahaa
This is why you need Watch it!! NOW!

Though the story is a bit confusing I still like it because I had fun because of the personalities and how they handle each personality.
The cast and acting was great! To be able to handle 7 types of personality is one of the evidence it was awesome.
I really like the OST's lyrics it really fits the story
This is one of my favorite drama

The chemistry between the main characters was great. The acting was great. I was addicted to the drama and romance, so I would recommend this to anyone interested in a beautiful romance with many fun twists and turns. You will laugh a lot.

STORY
The inconsistent and illogical writing is what ruined the drama for me: it almost feels like completely different people wrote the first half and the second half, and that the second writer had no idea how the first writer wrote the first part. So many elements in the story seemed unnecessary and many didn't fit well together in the story. The concept of the drama was great (a man with DID) but the writing simply wasn't good enough to make it into a good story.
Also, I personally find it really annoying when mental illnesses are turned into something almost supernatural (aka however the writer wants it, even if it's inaccurate): it's a topic that is already interesting as it is, and the need to add fantasy-like elements (those frickin' fake red tattoos for example) just shows how badly it was written. It's almost offensive to Ji Sung: his acting was perfect enough for the audience to notice the change of personality, and the CGI effects were useless and simply made me cringe.
There are actual real people suffering from DID in this world, and this element itself would have been enough for the story to be interesting. The medical inaccuracy was painful to watch, in my opinion (I know, it's just a drama, but I just couldn't let it go).
CAST
That being said, Ji Sung gave probably one of the best performance I've seen in a drama. He portrayed all of the personalities perfectly and brought hilarious comedy to the show. That's pretty much the only thing I liked about this drama and had to skip lots of the scenes to finish it.
MUSIC
The OST is great, although that one really good song is a bit overused and I started getting tired of it halfway through the show.
REWATCH
I won't watch this drama again. It has some great elements, but it's really overated in my opinion.

So good, I bought the DVDs on Ebay.
You must be able to control the volume on your TV to get through the lead actress's screeching for many of the earlier episodes. But watching the lead male actor makes even that worthwhile. His many personalities range from frightening, to lovable, and from romantic to comical. There's mystery, romance, drama, action, and comedy, throughout with a satisfying ending to tie them all together. This was my first encounter with the lead actor, but not my last. I just found Dr. John and loving it as well!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
But, when you start Kill Me Heal Me, you can't stop. Truly, that's what I felt. This drama is one of the best I've seen and I'm really difficult about movies, tv shows and dramas. But KMHM is the mix of all of the things I like. I'll explain my enthusiasm for this drama by using the 3 previous rating topics.
________________________
STORY : I was really afraid to watch a drama who's talking about the hard disease that is schizophrenia, cause it's a difficult topic who is often badly represented. But actually, the story gains you and you just want to know what will happen for every character. Even the supporting roles have an interesting story and, you can't help but be interested in their own life. You're just there watching the episodes and falling in love with every characters. I cried a lot, at the beginning and at the end. You understand the meaning of everything bit by bit and that's why the drama is amazing. There are puzzle pieces everywhere, and you have to stick them together to understand the full story, the how and the why.
________________________
ACTING/CAST : I'll just detail my feelings toward the main cast but, the back cast did an amazing work too. Truly, I rarely saw that kind of cast who just leave you speechless. Ji Sung was the PERFECT actor to personify DoHyun. Every personnality is amazingly played and you just fall in love with each of them. Actually, my favorite was Perry Park. He was so extra but you finally understand that he's so broken.
Let's talk about Hwang Jung-Eum too ! She slayed the role of RiJin and was, for me, an amazing choice of the casting director. That actress always surprises me, and I think she will in the future too. (update : she did in Lucky Romance oh my god)
Park Seo Joon did an amazing job on his role too. We saw him less than the main actors but when he appeared, it was full of meaning and emotionnal/funny, there was not happy medium.
________________________
MUSIC : Auditory Hallucination took my heart. The meaning, the instrumental, the voices. I can't stop listening and singing this song since 2015. I've never liked a song that much. All the noises and the ambience sounds were amazingly choosen for all the situations. The other music I loved is Unspeakable Secret, performed by Moon Myung Jin. His voice is so deep, and the lyrics are so.. Like, you can recognize yourself in them. Park Seo Joon's song is kinda beautiful too, and I was really surprised by his voice.
________________________
In short, KMHM is that kind of drama you like easily especially if you're, like me, sensitive with ease. The acting is so touching and the end is satisfying, really satisfying, even if there are sad moments, everything goes well and yes, that's the kind of dramas I love. I recommend it to everyone !
