Unique And Unforgettable
I recommend this drama to those that have watched way too many kdramas and are now tired of the shallow romances, empty characters and stories that are barely hanging on by a thread, this drama has everything but that. New viewers won't be able to appreciate this drama as much and won't be as forgiving towards certain things that in the end don't really matter, I know from experience because when I first tried to watch this a long time ago I foolishly dropped it.This drama has the best acting out there. The male lead was absolutely fantastic, all the characters he played were perfectly acted. The female lead was amazing as well, her expressions, her voice and her playful demeanor were perfect for this character, no one else would've been able to play these characters like they did.
The story is rich, emotional, carefully crafted and slowly unveiled to the viewer. There are a lot of twists and turns. The smallest lines and scenes carry significance that is revealed later with a huge emotional impact.
The dialogue is excellent, the conversations sound natural and can really pack a punch at times. Some scenes became memorable because of their beautiful lines that tug at your heartstrings.
The comedy is good, some golden scenes come to mind specifically.
The main characters have actual character development and a character arc, they go through an inner journey over the course of the story and every character has their role, unique personality, goals and motivations even if they are only a side character.
The romance is honestly one of the best if not the best romance. I could really feel their love for each other because it made sense, there were so many reasons for them to love each other so when they ultimately expressed it through dialogue or even through their eyes it was really heartwarming. This is one of those couples that I truly felt belonged together.
Obviously this show, like everything in this world, isn't perfect(its flaws are mainly the cringy visual fx, the sometimes excessive crying, some emotional scenes that are badly timed and the questionable mental ilness aspect that I, to enjoy the series more, saw in a more fantasy-esque light as it was probably intended) but in the end it leaves us feeling full and glad we didn't skip on this one.

Honestly, Jisung's acting left me crying. I just wish Shin SeGi had been the main persona instead of Cha DoHyun. Also, Park SeoJoon's acting was amazing and he's inspired me to watch Fight for my way. Honestly, I fell in love with this drama firstly because of its OST Auditory Hallucinations. As a Seventeen stan and the fact that Wonwoo is my bias, the OSTS made this drama! I also liked Ahn Yona's personality; honestly the funniest parts were when she came out in the episodes. Will definitely add this drama to my rematch list. Again, JISUNG!!!!! I love you :)

The story is a huge mess and there really isn't much reason to watch the show if not for several characters (e.g. Cha Do Hyun, Shin Se Gi). I'm surprised by how many people here have reviewed the story with a 10.
The show does have its fun and dark tones, and at times just overly absurd moments.
If you are prepared to cringe quite a lot from the female lead, go ahead and watch the show.

ALL-TIME FAVOURITE
I just finished watching the drama for a second time and I still have no bad things to say about it.---STORY---
This was the first and is the only drama I have watched where the main character has DID, and I loved it so much! The story is really well-written, and everything develops perfectly. I didn't feel like the drama was dragging on whatsoever throughout the 20 episodes (which is already pretty long for a drama). With other dramas that have 12-16 episodes, sometimes I find myself wondering when it's going to end, or how far I've watched. I NEVER felt that way with this drama.
The drama never gets boring and they have a couple REALLY shocking plot-twists that I'm pretty sure no one could've predicted. And the plot twists aren't the ones some dramas use as filler, they're all crucial to the main plot of the story.
---CAST---
I think we can all agree that the casting and acting were 10/10. Ji-sung is SUCH an amazing actor and even though people may find Ri-jin's scream really annoying, it does die down throughout the drama. I fell in love with all the personalities and I REALLY felt like Ji-sung was spit into 6 different people and his transitions between the personalities was SO well done.
Seo-joon was really amazing throughout the drama as well. He made me fall in love with Ri-on and if he weren't her "brother", I would've had REALLY bad second lead syndrome. He adds laughter to the drama and yet he is not a shallow character. I really loved all the main characters, they were really well portrayed.
---MUSIC---
I don't think anyone can say they didn't like Auditory Hallucination. I downloaded the song like 5 years ago, when I first watched and fell in love with the drama, and I have been listening to it for 5 years without ever getting tired of it. It's just THAT good. I also really suits the drama and made me cry A LOT.
---OVERALL---
I would definitely rewatch this drama an unlimited number of times. Everything about it was really well done and it especially peaks my interest as a psychology student. If you don't love the drama already by episode 2, then who are you?

Just watched the whole thing, but I feel like watching it again hahah would do it too if I didn't have so many other dramas to watch.
The soundtrack was the first thing I downloaded (shhh no one knows that) and I need to listen to those songs every day or else my day is horrible. The song from Jang Jae In and NaShow fit so great to this drama, go listen to the whole song if you haven't heard it yet. It's the first thing I listen to in the morning.
Love the drama! Ji sung and Hwan Jung Eum does another amazing drama together! Recommend it a lot :)

Yeh!!!! for no baddies, heartburning or love triangles, just a great story by itself.
Lots of talk of it being related or similar to some other shows, but I enjoyed it a lot and it was a first for me so it doesnt matter.
I really enjoyed the heroes acting especially as he had to play many different characters. The heroine was OK, im not a great fan of hers, but she did her job well.
Go for it people, no wasted time here.

Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum have such a deep connection and amazing chemistry. As actor and actress, they compliment each other perfectly.
Ji Sung WAS every role he played and it was amazing to watch. I was a fan of him after seeing "My P.S. Partner" but this sealed the deal for me.
Park Seo Joon was not only lovable but HILARIOUS (which is new to me because his role in SHE WAS PRETTY is not so much) and there were so many times where his reactions and facial expressions made me laugh.
This is one of the few drama series where I have actually burst into both laughter and tears, several times. It was hard for me to finish the series because I wanted closure but I also didn't want say goodbye. It's been days since I finished it and I still feel upset that it's over...
OVERALL: HOLY CRAP, SO GOOD.

The plot was very interesting. But it wasn't how I expected it to be, it was better.
What I love the most about this drama, is that, it was very unpredictable. And, it has everything. The script was very mature. I really loved it. It wasn't cheesy and it didn't ruin the scenes, it made it better. Nothing was too much.
I loved the fact that each episode has something new, there wasn't ever an empty episode like regular dramas.
I'm also very impressed with the gradation of how Cha Do Hyun's memory return. In other dramas, they just keep dragging the episodes and then everything is revealed in the final episode. But, in "Kill me, Heal me" his memories return gradually which was believable and realistic, and it gave us something new in each episode.
I loved every personality Cha Do Hyun had. Every single one, specially Shin Se Gi. I routed for him from the beginning. I loved them more after knowing the stories behind them.
The plot twists were just... wow.. amazing.. amusing.. shocking.. everything I've ever dreamed of in a plot twist. Again, nothing was predictable. You think you figured everything out, but then suddenly the writers drive you insane.
The acting was epic. very real, and the face expressions were suitable. The supporting roles did a great job. I specially love the brother, Oh Ri On.
The music was good. It wasn't fantastic. except for the song "Auditory Hallucination" which was brilliant.
I want to re-watch this drama, I think I will, sometime in the future.
This is a definitely watch drama. It was funny, genius, heart-warming, thrilling and just.. Genius.
It's on the top of my recommendation list!

I also loved the female protagonist. She is not your conventional damsel in distress sort of lead, instead, she is brazen, out-spoken, and at times un-lady-like. Some may be turned off by the female lead's over the top acting in the beginning but the actress really grows into her own as the drama progresses and I didn't find her acting to be a hindrance to the drama.
Now looking back, it is not a perfect drama but it certainly tugged my heart strings. It had flaws especially relating to the accuracy of the depiction of someone with DID and how the male lead was able to recover from it. However, these are minor flaws to what I felt is one the best dramas I've seen in a while.
Ultimately, watch this if you like strong female leads, rom-coms, electrifying chemistry, and a great soundtrack.

Here's a breakdown of my review.
THE STORY - a story about a guy who has D.I.D. (Dissociative Identity Disorder) also known as a multiple personality disorder, meets a psychiatric resident. Together they help each other put the separate identities back together. This is one of those dramas where I was really happy with the writers. The plot was well thought out, and like I said above, there weren't really any unnecessary scenes. This drama made me laugh, cry, scream. For me, any drama that can put me in an emotional rollercoaster and give me all the feels is an A+.
THE ACTING/CAST - I've watched Ji Sung in Protect the Boss & My P.S. Partner. I enjoyed his acting then, and I still enjoy his acting in this one. The way he portrayed each of his split personalities was awesome. Hwang Jung Eum, I haven't really watched her in anything. Well, it said on her profile, that she was in Potato Star, but it was such a minor role, I can't even remember her there. She was pretty cool in this drama. My other favorite actor in this drama was Park Seo Joon. I've never seen him in anything other than Bang Yong Gook's MV, "I Remember". But I love him in this drama. I didn't really have second lead syndrome in this one.
THE MUSIC - All the songs in the OST are awesome. They captured the right emotion for each scene. And "Auditory Hallucination" by Jang Jae In feat. Na Show has a special place in my heart.
REWATCH VALUE - Yes! Heck yes! I will re-watch this drama again. It was just one of those dramas that didn't really let me down.
OVERALL - 10 out of 10. Like I said one of the best dramas for 2015. This drama gets two thumbs up. :D
