![]() I believe her platonic relationships more than her romantic ones, so Park Seo Joon gets the benefit here. And it’s lucky for us that Hwang Jung Eum creates great chemistry with her costars in a very platonic way. My ultimate favorite moment is in episode 11 when Ri Ohn and Ri Jin make up after a fight with a rendition of Team Rocket’s motto. Ri Jin is so lucky to have such a supportive family, and it is so important later in the series when you discover more about Do Hyun’s family and secretive past. I think Park Seo Joon is one of the biggest delights in this drama. Being annoying to Ri Jin seems to come naturally to him, and it makes their relationship one of the highlights of this drama. But more mysteriously, Ri Ohn holds the key to Do Hyun and Ri Jin’s connected past. He finds himself wrapped up in Ri Jin’s secret job, especially when Yo Na takes quite the liking to him. ![]() Now we can’t have incest in a drama! Or can we? Ri Ohn is hilarious and quite the character, making fun of his sister at her expense in one moment and then being completely understanding and supportive the next. However the third wheel is a surprise considering it’s Oh Ri Ohn ( Park Seo Joon), an accomplished author under the pen name Writer Omega and twin brother of Ri Jin. It’s a little disappointing coming from her, but she does hold her own well enough with her costars. It works considering she adds to the comedy, but it’s also glaringly obviously when I watch this and She Was Pretty almost back to back. She doesn’t care how she looks in the drama, which is great, but she also is always loud and abrasive. She just goes all out in her role, screaming like no other. One thing to note is that Hwang Jung Eum does not really have a variety of acting styles. But she’s quick on the uptake and realizes his disorder, and, feeling the need to look after him, chooses to be his personal psychiatrist. Ri Jin first meets Se Ki and has no idea what to do with him, especially since he proclaims his love for her at first sight. Suk also worked with Do Hyun before, so there is some inherent trust in his protégée. Enter Oh Ri Jin ( Hwang Jung Eum), who is a talented first year resident under the tutelage of Dr. Suk Ho Pil ( Go Chang Suk). So with the help of his trusty Manager Ahn ( Choi Won Young, delightfully good), they seek out a psychiatrist to help him. And that’s no wonder since they all have various stress and trigger points, and he’s working in a stressful environment with his secretive and suffocating family. There are business issues to be dealt with in the drama, as well as succession issues (he and his far more capable cousin Ki Joon are constantly at odds), but Do Hyun is most worried about his other personalities coming out. ![]() He’s got an amazing range to be brooding one minute, bubbly the next. I have never really cared for Ji Sung in any drama, but this show completely changed my perspective on him. Perry Park seems to have changed, going from a bomb maker to avid fisherman but he’s still as whimsical as ever. Thankfully her trigger is whenever Do Hyun must internalize pain while out in public, and that can happen easily and often enough. It’s clear that Yo Na is the favorite personality, as she appears more often than is necessary towards the end of the drama. Otherwise, the outfits are “imagined,” and seen only by the viewers to reinforce which personality is alive at the moment. (For example, when Yo Na appears the scene has a light pink tint around it.) They all have their own “belongings” that they will change into, provided that Do Hyun is home and has access to his closet. It also helps that he switches between costumes for all the personalities, and the lighting generally changes and a tint is added depending on his personality. He makes every single one different enough that you can tell who he is at each time. Ji Sung navigates between the different personalities with great aplomb. He lives in the States seeking treatment, but when Se Ki comes out in full force, Do Hyun finds his life going out of control when he returns to Korea with a new position in his grandmother’s company. Shin Se Ki, the bad boy Ahn Yo Seob, the studious, suicidal high schooler Ahn Yo Na, the oppa-crazy twin sister of Yo Seob Perry Park, a drunkard and amateur bomb maker Nana, a young child with traumatic memories and Mr. ![]() Kill Me Heal Me follows a young man Cha Do Hyun ( Ji Sung) who has dissociative identity disorder (DID), broken down into seven different personalities. I needed more of Park Seo Joon and Hwang Jung Eum! And this drama certainly did not disappoint. Damn, I really missed this title when it was first airing, but at least I still saw it! I did it after much prodding from gummimochi and because I was left with a vacuum after She Was Pretty ended.
