## Synopsis

Kill Me, Heal Me (2015) is a South Korean television romance drama created by Han Hee for MBC. Psychiatrist Oh Ri-jin (Hwang Jung-eum) is a newcomer to a hospital practice who is drawn into the life of billionaire Cha Do-hyun (Ji Sung), a man whose childhood trauma has split his mind into several distinct personalities. Her goal is to help him reach the alters that surface in his daily life and bring them together, but each step exposes old wounds and tangled family secrets. The show is built around one continuing storyline across twenty episodes, with each hour mixing sharp, playful banter with emotional confrontations over abuse, identity and loyalty. The tone swings from light and comedic to tender and melancholic, and the romance grows slowly from professional distance into something more personal. Ensemble figures including Park Seo-jun as Oh Ri-on and Kim Young-ae as Seo Tae-im add family drama and rivalry. Set in contemporary Seoul hospitals and corporate offices, it sits within the korean melodrama tradition. Fans of Hospital Playlist and Crash Landing on You will find resonance in its blend of warmth, romance and hard emotional material.
