Like millions, I love beautiful, brilliant Ji Sung and this series he is so wonderful in. For me, he is the greatest of Korean actors, which is saying a lot because I think they're the best in the world today, and have at least a dozen favorites. (I also love his wife, Lee Bo Young: "Mother" is extraordinary.) And I love Park Seo Joon as well, so "Kill Me, Heal Me" is a real treat. It is my 3rd time watching it. Decided to after "Doctor John" and a very rough week I'm healing from. . . . pun intended. It was the right decision: Already a classic in every sense and one of the greatest of all KDramas-Settle in for the ride.

I've never written a review before but I noticed that this had no reviews as yet and felt that it deserved someone to share how wonderful it was. I'm not going to talk about filming and directing as I know nothing about all that. I will tell you about what I saw and more importantly what I felt.

First, let me say I've been a big fan of Korean dramas for the past few years. I have never thought much of Ji Sung prior to this. I thought that his acting skills were okay/moderate in his previous dramas. Either he had never previously been given the opportunity to really flex his skills or he has matured with experience over the years. I was blown away by his performance in Kill Me Heal Me. It would be an ambitious project for any actor to portray 7 distinctly different personalities. He not only does so but accomplishes it with such depth that you actually forget that they are "personalities." You begin to see them as separate people and grow attached to each character. You feel their pain and joy and root for every single one of them. This bond with the characters, without giving away any plot points is a crucial factor in the emotional roller coaster journey throughout the drama to its conclusion. Ji Sung's skills were so incredible that it got to the point where you are able to identify the personality switch just by minute changes in his facial expression even without dialog, hair and clothing changes. I cannot say enough about the amazing performance he put forward in this project. Whether you are a fan of the story or not, you can't help but admire what he accomplished with this. If he doesn't win the Daesang for this, there is something seriously wrong with the judging system. The rest of the cast, Hwang Jung-Eum, Park Seo-Joon and the other supporting actors all give strong performances and there are no weak links. By that I mean, you don't feel let down or bored as the plot line switches to secondary plot threads.

You will laugh and cry hard in this drama. For those of you not accustomed to the Korean style of humor in many dramas, it can sometimes get slapstick and over the top which is not everyone's cup of tea. However the humor in this drama will appeal universally. There are moments that will make you laugh so much you will cry and then there are others that will break your heart and make you cry for real.

If you are looking for something that is a scientifically accurate portrayal of multiple personality disorder and you are going to nitpick every little inconsistency, then skip this. However if you are looking for a drama that you can lose yourself in, and one that will make you FEEL. Then watch this, you won't be disappointed.

This is a top notch drama, it'll make you laugh your butt off, cry your eyes out and enjoy every minute of it. Whatever you do though, don't watch episode 8 in the quiet carriage of a train. I made that mistake, and a whole carriage full of people now think i'm a lunatic for laughing so hard so randomly. I mean, tears were streaming down my face kind of hard laughter at the fangirling scene.

Well worth the watch, the lead actor is brilliant playing all the different characters, and he is totally hot eye candy as Se-Gi. Mmmmmmm.

After I watched the drama. I couldn't go on without praising the main lead role. Ji sung one actor but played many roles. He also admitted that he was struggle because of his roles but he still managed to come through and gave us the best show. Thank you Ji sung.

To me, this drama is perfect, in the entertainment point of view. Jisung is at his height, in turn of his outlook and acting skills. So smart in his suit as a wealthy third generation of a great family. Female lead is equally terrific, acting as a always pleasant and witty doctor.

Needless to say, the plot excel among all other kdramas, portraying Jisung as a DID patient with 7 personalities. One of his identities as a girl is impressive, with him wearing pink dress running around the street.

In turn if we judge from medical point of view I think female lead is quite professional as a psychiatry. I like her way of treating different identities as friends to help Jisung, and give them each a gift before they are leaving.

Not until I hear an interview of an actual DID patient in my place. He is discontented with many of the movies and dramas which usually portray their identities as harmful and aggressive. In fact, according to him, that is not the case in real.

This is my only negative comment to kmhm. Otherwise in entertaining aspect, it is beyond doubt a perfect drama.
