Kill Me, Heal Me 킬미, 힐미
✩✩✩✩✩
The 2015 Korean MBC drama, starring Ji Sung as Cha Do-Hyun, Hwang Jung-Eum as Oh Ri-Jin, and Park Seo-Joon as Oh Ri-Ohn.
Brief synopsis: Cha Do-Hyun is the heir of a big conglomerate company, but he hides a serious secret from the public and from his family; he has D.I.D., Dissociative Identity Disorder, or commonly understood as multiple personalities. His grandmother draws him away from treatment in the U.S. to work on company business in Korea, and there he meets a bright psychiatrist Oh Ri-Jin. However, Cha Do-Hyun's second dominant personality, known as Shin Se-Gi, apparently recognizes Oh Ri-Jin from Cha Do-Hyun's long-forgotten past. The two of them may be more connected than they think. But no spoilers! ;)
This one is another personal favorite! "Kill Me, Heal Me" does not disappoint! It has a romantic-comedy feel to it, but there is a lot of discussion about abnormal psychology, which almost makes it something of a medical drama.
The characters are so easy to love! Ji Sung, the main lead, acts as seven different personalities and it's only too easy to fall in love with every one of them! A lot of the fun in this drama is about the switching between Cha Do-Hyun and Shin Se-Gi. Cha Do-Hyun's personality is very mild and composed, and very responsible, but Shin Se-Gi is very aggressive (and stylish). Much of the first half of the drama is about how Cha Do-Hyun and Shin Se-Gi are at war with each other. Introducing Oh Ri-Jin was adding oil to that fire!
Oh Ri-Ohn seems to play the role of a neutral buffer. He provides significant comedic relief and the feel of a mentor, an objective party that just hopes for the best. Honestly, Oh Ri-Ohn's character gave me the feels the most. It's as if his character had one guideline only: be the best big brother ever! He made me wish I had such an awesome brother!
The psychology behind this drama gives it a lot more value. It could have just been funny if it were about a man who changed his character at will, but the psychology goes deeper. This depth makes "Kill Me, Heal Me" totally worth watching. You can come away from it feeling just a bit smarter and more appreciative for life!
I loved this drama. It ranks within my top ten, and it's not likely to budge from there, either! What a beautiful show!
