![]() In the end it exceeded all expectation, and that is really what elevates KMHM beyond just a very good drama. One could ask for nothing more from a leading lady.īy all accounts this drama should never have worked, with such a fantastical premise of a male lead with 7 different personalities and his romance with his secret psychiatrist girlfriend. Even better was her pitch perfect chemistry with Ji Sung no matter which personality he was playing at any given moment. She was the ray of sunshine and portrayed it perfectly. I’m not a fan of Hwang Jung Eum, still not one even after this drama, but she was lovely to watch in the way she ran the full gamut of emotions through the incredibly intense narrative development for her character. It was a collective effort to bring this story to life in such a complete way, and without the full cast neither leads Ji Sung or Hwang Jung Eum could have shone so brightly because the story around them wouldn’t have felt so compelling. The writer did her job in writing characters who served specific purposes in the story and followed through with it no matter how critical or ancillary. A meeting of kindred spirits, if you may.Īll the side and supporting characters in this drama deserve a shout out. His character was amazingly rendered by the scriptwriter and even more amazingly brought to life by Ji Sung. It’s a toss up of Shin Se Ki and Ahn Yo Na for me, but at the end of the day it was his original personality of Cha Do Hyun who stood out for his strong sense of justice, empathy, and kindness. Ji Sung was awesome playing every one of the seven personalities, the only debate is which one was the most memorable or your personal fave. This drama stands on its own for all-around quality – the directing was phenomenal and my favorite aspect of the watch, the script was well thought out and tight despite the suspension of disbelief here and there, and the acting was moving and cohesive with Ji Sung naturally the centerpiece of the entire hardworking cast. KMHM is without a doubt my favorite K-drama of the year so far, and there is neither snark nor faint praise in that opinion despite the competition around KMHM being so utterly crappy. Do I think it’s the K-drama version of a Monet? Could be, but that’s no diss since everyone appreciates a pretty Monet. That basically sums up this drama – looks great from a viewing distance, probably a mess up close if one was to slice and dice into the minutiae. ![]() The first big-budget prime time drama of 2015 has wrapped up its run in MBC‘s Kill Me Heal Me, ending on a heartwarming note that was equal parts hopeful and sincere if one doesn’t read too much into all the details.
