Kill Me, Heal Me

Assalamualaikum, good day ! Phew... I almost didn't make it to this time of the week for I really took my time watching this drama that I only finished it yesterday and write this review right after. Wow, I really took this weekly k-drama review seriously. Well, gotta enjoy it while it lasts.

Title : Kill Me, Heal Me

Episodes : 20

Genre : Romantic, Comedy, Drama, Medical

Director : Kim Jin Man

Writer : Jin Soo Wan

Network : MBC

Cast : Ji Sung, Hwang Jung Eum, Park Seo Joon

Plot :

Cha Do Hyun is a successor to Seung Jin Group. He lived in America and refused to go back to Korea. Due to his dark childhood, Do Hyun developed a psychological problem called Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) or better known as multiple identity disorder or split personality. As one of his personality took him back to South Korea, he had to face his grandmother and took the responsibility as the successor to the group. Do Hyun then hired Oh Ri Jin as his secret psychiatrist. 

This drama is the second drama that starred Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum as the main cast. In 2013, they had worked together on a drama called 'Secret Love' which I had been in my to-watch list for so long.

SPOILER ALERT

This drama is  one of my favorite. Well, it is also the main reason why am I so interested in taking psychology, well, old story. Back to the review. From my personal taste, this drama is flawless. From the plot to the casts, it was all great ! Okay, maybe a little bias there.

The writer had successfully address DID not only in the perspective of the patient but also the society around him. I love how the plot mainly focused on Do Hyun lives as a DID patient with all his alter to come out and said their hello at the first half of the drama. The lives he had was not an easy one as he was exposed to the society by being the chaebol for a very known company.

Through the first half, I could say that I had laughed on so much occasions. I especially loves it when either Yona or Perry Park came out. These two characters were my favorite out of all alters that Do Hyun had. I personally loves the satoori that Perry Park used and as for Yona, I love how she would always tried to rebel against Ri Jin and all their arguments were so childish. It is entertaining to me. 

The second half of the drama focused more on the reason why Do Hyun created his alters and what really happened in his childhood. This one here had me tear up every now and then. Oh my... It is so sad to think that he blamed himself for what happened to the point he separates himself to several pieces.

I don't think anyone could do a better job than Ji Sung. I mean, he played six or is it seven different characters in just one drama. To make it even more interesting, he had to change 'himself' in one single cut. And, that's wow. I love the chemistry between Ji Sung and Jung Eum. Maybe it was they had work in together in the past but whatever that is, they really have the chemistry on the screen. Oh, don't forget the brother. Park Seo Joon did wonderful as Ri Jin's brother. Oh, how I wish to have a brother like him.
