Kill me heal me gooddrama9/15/2023 ![]() The moment Ri-jin’s parents became too defensive over Ri-jin’s intelligence was the moment Kill Me, Heal Me might as well have yelled “Ri-jin is adopted!” But even that isn’t enough as Ri-jin is being set up to be Se-gi’s first love. However, dramaland is never subtle and of course there are birth secrets and first love as children. Do-hyun’s character development is gradual, but it’s easy to understand why Ri-jin had a stronger initial attract to him rather than Se-gi. It wasn’t until episode three that Cha Do-hyun became more fleshed out and the audience was able to gain a better understanding of him.Īnd although the kidnapping and fire/bomb story line in that same episode were unnecessarily dramatic, meeting Perry Park was fun and the viewer finally got a swoon-worthy moment with Do-hyun and Ri-jin. Shin Se-gi grabbed my attention quickly, not only due to his perfectly applied eyeliner and intense gaze, but also because Do-hyun was a bland character. Not only does he have a blatant disregard for rules, but Se-gi is also a skilled fighter and, apparently, the reason Do-hyun survived his traumatic experience. The first personality we meet is bad-boy extraordinaire Shin Se-gi. Luckily, Kill Me, Heal Me does its best to be respectful of DID, and Ji Sung’s acting skills shine as he switches personalities. Though DID is a debated subject amongst the medical community, it seems wrong to make a mental disorder into something with ‘magical powers’ when real people suffer from it. I understand the need to make television more dramatic, but the blurred line between fantasy and reality puts a damper on the show for me. While I can tolerate the “change” in Do-hyun’s eyes as he shifts personalities, disappearing tattoos when Shin Se-gi shifts back to Do-hyun makes no sense. ![]() Kill Me, Heal Me goes through great lengths to decipher medical jargon used by the psychiatrists, and the fact that Do-hyun’s love interest, Oh Ri-jin ( Hwang Jung-eum), is also a doctor demonstrates the show’s desire to ground the premise in fact.ĭespite this, however, Kill Me, Heal Me clearly interjects fantasy elements into the plot. ![]() Throughout the first two episodes, one thing that struck me was how unclear the show is about the nature of Do-hyun’s DID. The newest narrative from MBC follows Cha Do-hyun ( Ji Sung), a third-generation chaebol who suffers from Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).Īs Do-hyun struggles with his seven different personalities, he also navigates the cutthroat corporate world, falls in love with a psychiatrist and gets closer to confronting the traumatic event that triggered his disorder. Although romance is still a staple in public broadcast dramas, the K-drama world has been expanding the plot premises of these dramas. ![]()
