Plot
After a traumatic experience in his childhood, Cha Do Hyun, a third-generation billionaire, suffers memory lapses and his personality then scattered into seven different identities. A first-year Psychiatrist resident doctor, Oh Ri Jin, is a beautiful, innocent, and popular woman on the surface, but she and her twin brother, Oh Ri On, hide different facades. Oh Ri Jin is money-oriented, has messy habits, and dreams to be a pro wrestler; while Oh Ri On acts like a fool despite actually a genius writer of detective novels. Later, Oh Ri Jin meets Cha Do Hyun and starts treating secretly.

Hangul: 킬미, 힐미 Director: Kim Jin-Man Writer: Jin Soo-Wan Network: MBC Episodes: 20 Air time: Wednesday & Thursday 22:00

Main characters

Cha Do-hyun (Ji Sung) - A wealthy businessman who suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Because of childhood trauma, he has six other identities: Shin Se-gi (a bad guy and playboy), Ferry Park (40 years-old man), Ahn Yo-sub (suicidal teenage boy), Ahn Yo-na (an extrovert and sassy teen girl), Nana (7 years-old girl), and Mysterious X (a mysterious guy).

Oh Ri-jin (Hwang Jung-eum) - A first-year psychiatry resident who tries hard to maintain her seemingly perfect image to cover for her real personality. Seemingly elegant and genteel, she is messy, a big eater, and dreams of becoming a pro-wrestler. Ri-jin secretly treats Do-hyun then falls in love with one of his personalities.

Oh Ri-on (Park Seo-joon) - Ri-jin's twin brother. Ri-on gets mistaken for an idiot, but he is actually a genius mystery novelist.

Cha Ki-joon (Oh Min-seok) - Do-hyun's cousin who runs an entertainment company. Ki-joon and Do-hyun are rivals, with both competing to inherit their family's company.

Han Chae-yeon (Kim Yoo-ri) - Do-hyun's first love, a cold woman who may or may not have something to do with his disorder.

If you put aside the first 20 minutes, and all that came with it - the bad acting, the accents, the painfully obvious cgi; this show is pretty fun. I can't wait to see the rest of Do-hyun's personalities, especially Yo-na ~the extrovert and sassy teen girl.
Surprisingly, I'm actually enjoying how the show is handling his transitions - the change of the eye color, the appearance of the tattoo.. It's fun.

Jisung looks really sick in that gif where he's outside. He looks like the lead singer of Aerosmith or smth.

I'm all for Jisung, but this plot sounds like something I'd write when I was 10 lol. I think I'll pass for now, but if it shows up on Netflix, I may give it a try.

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

I agree about Jisung. Last time I watched him in Protect the boss, and if I didn't know it was him, I wouldn't recognize him. He looks much thinner, and sickly. Taemin-like. I don't like it.

You haven't watch Secret? Then get to it since that drama is amazing and the finest from Ji Sung to date!

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

No, I haven't even heard of it, which is a surprise cause I always check dramas with high ratings on mydramalist, and Secret does have a high one, but it didn't show for me.
Thanks for the reccomendation, I'll definitely check it out :D

I'm still not sure what to think about this one^^ The first two eps were...interesting but I have no idea what to think of the characters yet and I'm mostly confused when it comes to Oh Ri Jin and Oh Ri On (They're names make me giggle like a mad person :P)

Ji Sung with guyliner though... I didn't know I needed it but damn I need it :D He looks hot and as for now I think Se Gi is my fave despite his violent streak!

I'm curious to what next week will bring but I'll definitely stick with the drama bc I get such a kick out of watching Ji Sung and Hwang Jung Eum together :)

[ah0000.livejournal.com]

Lol the fantasy elements like the changing of his eye color and the monster-like transformation moments are a bit much... I'm not fully captivated yet but I love the female lead. Also Ji Sung with eyeliner...something I didn't know I needed but goddamn.

Also very sad that Kim Seul Gi is only a cameo :(

[agentgoodnight.livejournal.com]

When I saw promo stills for this episode, I though Kim Seul Gi was one of the regular cast. I'm so bummed out. Her character was also such a scene stealer.

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

omg i had to fast forward the first 30 minutes bc i was like...what in the hell lol

its pretty weird and funny and i don't really know what to make of it but the cast is so perfect that i want to stay. i love hwang jung eum and kim seulgi and park seo joon. and the funny, weird friend from reply 1997 is in it!


also i kind of hope park seo joon and hwang jung eum do another drama as romantic leads bc i feel chemistry between them but they're playing siblings and i'm sad about it lmao

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

IA the scene where they were sitting outside, I was like are we going to go down the not real siblings route.

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

go down the not real siblings route.

pretty sure i read somewhere that they are going to go down that route. that hes adopted or something.

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and when they announced the casting they made it seem like Park Seo Joon was playing a second male lead.

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

whattt??? noooo :( i was so happy to finally get a brother-sister relationship in the spotlight. :(

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

yes! like sorry but i don't remember the last time i saw two grown ass siblings being so touchy feely with each other lol

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Manager Kang????????????

[konichiwacobra.livejournal.com]

This drama is an over the top mess, but I enjoyed it. I'm hoping all these various personalities help it from losing steam along the way.

I love the cast (cute manager from Misaeng!) , but I can't have another drama go blah on me. Birth of a Beauty is doing that to me right now and I hate it.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

I'm catching up tonight...be back

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

i am enjoying it. ji sung is doing things to me good lord. he looks like gackt with the eye liner

[sisterjune.livejournal.com]

this is so old but I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SEEING THE GACKT RESEMBLANCE and i had to comment haha. like its only when he's decked out like se gi and in that se gi Voice/persona. but like when that happens i get major gackt deja vu. its uncanny. but he doesnt make me think of gackt at all in other personas even tho its like the same exact face. the wonders of acting. and uh eyeliner i guess? XD

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

its defly the eyeliner. it completely transforms him lol

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

everybody's all about shin se gi but omg perry park i love him

also cha ki jun will outsex all your faves

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

he's so hot ugh

[xxmannequin.livejournal.com]

omg yes. i can't stay calm when he's on screen tbh.

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

UGHH He's so freaking sexy. Geez.

[soft-taozi.livejournal.com]

First two episodes were fun, I feel like I'm going to watch up to about episode 8/9 and then forget about the drama, we shall see.

The whole mental illness business is kind of rubbing me the wrong way, though I can't quite articulate it.

[aurellee.livejournal.com]

Looks like Jisung is parodying JJ's rocker image as Shin Se Gi. LOL

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

My goodness Ji Sung with eyeliner! T___T He looked soooo good!
