Story

The human body is capable of all sorts of things to survive difficult situations. Cha Do Hyun (Ji Sung) is a third-generation business heir who developed dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) in the aftermath of several life-threatening traumatic events. He tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri Jin (Hwang Jung Eum), a first-year psychiatric resident who helps him secretly. But Ri Jin’s twin brother, Oh Ri On (Park Seo Joon), is a writer who is determined to uncover the unscrupulous lives of the rich and starts following Do Hyun around. Can Do Hyun take control over his condition before one of his seven personalities takes control over him instead?

Shin Se-Gi, first other personality that appeared in front of Oh Ri-jin

Ahn-Yona, this personality really cracks me up XD Jisung's acting is so brilliant!

Oh Ri On & Oh Ri Jin, their brother-sisterhood is too unbreakable

Yona, number 1 of Ri On's die-hard fan

every personality of Do Hyun is so interesting and unique ^^ I miss them already!

My Review

Early episodes of KMHM were quite gloomy, but as the story was developing; the story become much interesting. First of all, I didn't really like Ri-jin because she screamed a lot on early episodes -_- and it annoyed me, but Ri Jin's character becomes better episode by episode. 

The whole story of KMHM was unique but quite complicated. I can enjoy the drama because this drama was also sprinkled with humor scenes. The pace of this KMHM was little bit slow and I feel like I couldn't wait to watch the reason behind Do Hyun's lost memory, then slowly but sure every piece of puzzle was gathering and make the whole real story behind Cha Do Hyun's childhood life and why he split into 7 personalities.

Overall this drama made me curious for entire season and definitely amused. If you're looking for "different" and unique drama, you should watch KMHM. But, just keep in mind that this drama is little bit "heavy" to be digested if you look for lightweight drama ^_^ Still, I do recommend this drama!

Jisung & Jung-Eum's chemistry was SOOO GOOD.. I guess it's probably they've ever partnered before in "Secret" 2013 Korean drama (I haven't watched it yet, but maybe I'll when I really have free time, since I still have a long list to watch. LOL)

Overall rating for Kill Me Heal Me: 8/10

Its ending is nice as well! So you won't be disappointed ^_^

Anyone here have watched Kill Me Heal Me?

Should I watch Secret as well? :D
