So just as a starter: If you liked season 1 of Love Sick for it's story and music and the cute and sweet moments as well as the comedy scenes, then season 2 will definitely be a good choice to watch.

Story: The story of season 2 finally resolves some of the issues and problems which came up in season 1. How exactly...that would be a spoiler ;D For me, season 2 seemed a little bit more mature and detailed than season 1. Also the producers finally decided to concentrate on the main couples and only show some scenes (for fun and entertainment) of other couples and storylines (still if you only like one couple or so, you're gonna end up skipping a lot).
Season 2, It goes a little bit away from the 'just romance' feeling and connects different elements of life with the romantic and friendship relationships between the characters. Nevertheless, season 2 is just as sweet as season 1.

Acting/Cast: The casting choice, I think, is perfect. The acting...maybe not so much. It is definitely better than season 1, especially in later half of season 2. You can see how the actors and actresses learned and became better at acting. So compliments to the cast :D

Music: I've never seen a show or real life, where the songs are sooo accurate to what someone is feeling...I love the music in Love Sick but sometimes I just have to laugh when I think about how they always seem to find a song which resembles their feelings exactly to the point o.O XD Still the music itself is great, catchy and suitable for the show.

Rewatch: Oh, I'm soooo gonna rewatch this!!! XD

So overall, if you get over a little bit of awkwardness and some annoying characters (I think there is no one who watched the show and didn't find at least one character they don't like) then I definitely recommend watching this. The story itself is definitely worth it!!!

So when I first say Who Are You, i was so excited because there was gonna be a new high school drama, and i havent saw any decent one in a while, like i was really dissapointed with high school love on, so i was hoping for a decent high school setting drama, and i wasnt let down by it. What got me more excited was seeing that the main cast are actors im familliar with, i loved nam joohyuk in Surplus Princess, and sungjae in nine plus boys, i was also exicted for kim sohyun's first lead role.

Story 7.5
So story wise, if i were to review this when i was still watching the first 6 episodes of the drama, i would have gave it 9.5 right away, i was so blown away with the story and the story telling, the mystery kept me curious all the time, and i was frustrated every time an episode ends. It made the viewers question all the time what the hell is going on?? is this the reality in south korea?? It was amazing, and it wasnt about those lovey dovey high school love story which made me happy. However after episode 6 everything just seemed to go down, they started focusing on the forced romance between the characters and really annoying love triangle. and after all the mysteries are solved, it left me feeling, "was that it? nothing more? so it was just like that" It was really anticlimatic, and it really dissapointed me, and romance wise it also dissapointed me a lot. The writers couldnt focus on one male lead which made viewers confused on who should they root for, i couldnt even tell, which in most kdramas it should be obvious who the girl will be with. So anyway it was something like that, i dont wanna spoil more so i cant explain in more detail. Thats why to be fair although i was really dissapointed in the end, the beggining was pretty good, so ill give the story a 7,5 and this might be too good of a score actually.

Acting/Cast 9.5
Wow the acting was just on point though. Kim Sohyun acts as two different people, as twins. And as viewer i actually felt like they were 2 different people, their gaze and the way they act is completly different. This girl is so young, she realy needs to get an award for this. Another person who was unexpectedly amazing was Yook Sungjae of Btob, ive been a fan of them for quite sometime but the only time i saw sungjae act was in nine plus boys, and it was okay. but here he really improved, his crying scenes was so good and convincing, and he just made all the girls of south korea and the world fall for him thanks to this drama. This drama was the breakthrough for Sungjae, and know he has totally became a superstar. and Nam joohyuk, ah this dude i kinda feel bad for him. I really liked him in surplus princess he was so adorable, but the writers made his character so annoying in this drama he was so indecisive it was annoying and i started to hate him so much. But acting wise he was actually good. Hopefully he will redeem himself in cheese in the trap. Last the girl who played the bully also had amazing acting, i forgot her name, but one thing for sure i hated her so much i think i cursed everytime she appeared, just shows how good she is though haha.

Music 8
I cant really say much about the music, but the ost was nice, but im not really into rap music, so the main theme kinda annoyed me sometimes when the music is on, but i think a lot of people really liked it and it actually really fit with the atmosphere of the drama

Rewatch value 5.5
meh, i dont think i would watch it again, after finishing the drama i felt like the producers totally trolled me and i felt like i was cheated. Once in a while i would think, i totally wasted my life watching this drama. but then it was still good. But i think the ending totally ruined it for me so it made me dislike this drama. if it wasnt for the ending, and how they dicided to focus more on the stupid love triangle it wouldve been so much better

Overall 7.5
I think you should watch it, but just get ready for a shitty ending if you dont mind. I still think it has one of the best story telling in kdramas in the beggining, but the ending was well shitty and made it seem just like every single average drama.

This is a very funny and lovely drama!!!
At first I thought not see this drama because I hadn't seen anything of the leading actors, and because I had some grudge against Wang Ji Hye after seeing Personal Taste and Hotel King; however, the drama really worth it.
I fell in love with Ji Sung above all things and loved this type of female character, strong and independent, even a little reluctant to fall in love, I think that's just a plus for the drama, because you can see the guy seeks sassy girl's love and not the other way around.
I also ended up loving Wang Ji Hye and realized that a character may end up defining whether you like or do not like an actor, sometimes you forget the difference between fiction and reality XD
Another plus point is that finally the parents were not the most important obstacle to the main characters, but the circumstances. That seemed more entertaining after all.
In addition, all the supporting characters (the adults) were really funny and charming, I really never loved Kim Young Ok more than here, especially in her scenes with director Cha.
Finally, this drama had definitely one of the best bromances I've ever seen .Sometimes Ji Heon and Moo Won really seemed to be the real romantic couple of the drama haha

May you enjoy it as much as I did. Totally recommended!!!!

A LOVELY school drama tackling high schoolers' troubles in an interesting and funny way. The issues discussed are common but not presented in this mature, global and non-conformist way. While we see private education's problems, bullying, sex, abortion, suicide, part-timing and homosexuality; we see them from different points of view. Everyone is free to express their opinions. No prejudice. No judgement. Though they might not agree or accept. Though they might fight and separate. They all had the right to hold their stands. But some people would try to dissuade others. Not because they believe their own opinion is right and others' wrong. But when they see someone being unhappy because of a road they've taken they try to show them the other roads. No forcing. No imposing ideas. Just as ''humans'' must treat each other.

The young actresses did a wonderful jobs. I can see the bright future of Korean actresses. Guest actors left a mark each.

Great songs. Mystery. Suspense. Tears. Deep questions. A perfect drama in each and every way.

I really enjoyed this (all except for the first 15 or so minutes of the first episode - there was nudity & a sex scene and I don't like that in shows I watch) - The fighting was great, the only thing I didn't really like was it was a bit gory (especially when they slow-motioned the blood) but If you liked 'Ninja Assassin' then you shouldn't be bothered by this too much. I was hoping for a different ending - but I'm ok with this one and honestly it was probably more realistic this way. If you're like me you'll be captivated by the first episode - I was so drawn into Baek Rok's story! I enjoyed the fight scene, the brotherhood of the 'Black cloud swords' especially with Mu Myung ^^ and the romance story between Baek Rok and Jung Yeon <3

I LOVED Baek Rok (JDH) ^_^ <3 He was so loyal - even when it hurt him, he fought to protect the people he loved and was bound by a promise made to the king. I liked Jung Yeon - but she somehow got stupid towards the end which disappointed me, I loved her relationship with Baek Rok. I hated Baek Kyul - I don't care if his brother and JY still liked him - in my eyes he was an ASS big time!

Music: I loved the ost!!! 2 songs in particular ^_^ pt.1 & pt. 2 of the ost

I might re-watch this sometime in the future - if only to see the ruggedly handsome Jo Dong Hyeok again <3 He truly was a wild man in this drama!

"All that I protected up 'till now by my sword was in vain. I finally want to use it for what I really want to protect. (Jung Yeon) You have to live, so that I, who's lived like a demon, killing all my life...would have some meaning to my life as a man." - Baek Rok

This is one of those stories that changes you. While watching it, you'll laugh, cry and come to understand the character's traumas and happiness.

It's not just about love, this drama is about overcoming your own fears and problems with the help of people who understand you and are having their own personal problems, too.

The way they treat mental illnesses is great. They all have their own and the writers where really respectful during the whole storyline. Maybe you'll find some of the character's actions shocking, but then the backstory explains everything and you find yourself loving them.

The soundtrack is also amazing - i'm sure you'll download the songs to your phone the moment you finish watching it! they're perfect for every scene!

The acting is AMAZING. The way they potray the character's so real, you'll find it strange to watch them in other dramas!!

So... what are you doing if you haven't watched it yet??

Story: I finally made time to watch this drama and totally regretted that I did not watch it while it was airing! As a result, I ended up losing sleep to marathon this baby. This is a gem and certainly a much better product than Hyde, Jekyll and I - the drama staring Hyun Bin that was airing at the same time as this drama and with the same storyline on D.I.D. In fact, there are similarities in terms of the setting of this drama - rich younger generation chaebol guy with multiple personalities suffering from a childhood trauma which involves a girl whom they later fall in love with. But that is pretty much where the similarities end. As for the rest of the story - Kill Me, Heal Me trumps hands down! One nice guy with 7 personalities that you will find yourself liking. I had trouble saying goodbye to all of the personalities when it was time for them to go! Power struggle in a chaebol family. A family tragedy. Greed. Envy etc. It's all wrap up in KMHM with a good dose of comedy. The storyline also manages to bring out a range of emotions from the audience so much so that I found myself smiling, grinning, grimacing and crying. This is certainly something that HJ&I did not manage to achieve. For once, the higher rating of KMHM made sense!

Acting: I loved Ji Sung in Protect the Boss and in HMKM, he brought my respect for him to a higher level! This is the script that even Hyun Bin, Lee Seung Gi and many big name actors rejected after reading it. I mean - who is crazy enough to pull through SEVEN different personalities - one of which a teenage female and one a young girl??? Well.. apparently Ji Sung was and he was rewarded for this gamble of a decision! Ji Sung shone through the entire drama. I do not know how the guy did it but he did it brilliantly! I also like that he was able to 'act with his eyes' from the doeful, kind look of Cha Do Hyun to the fierce, passionate and dead stare of Shin Se Gi. Another testament to his excellent acting skills! As for the female lead, Hwang Jung-eum, she's good and was well paired with Ji Sung. They had certainly proved that they can pull off a good on screen chemistry in 'Secret' and it is no surprise that the Ji Sung-Jungeum pairing worked again in HMKM. The rest of the cast were brilliant as well. So, despite being fraught with news of troubles in casting in the earlier part of its conception, HMKM turned out to be a great success with a cast that was perfect for it!

Music: Love the opening and ending OSTs - modern and haunting. The lyrics were meaningful and somewhat sad and suited the drama well.

Rewatch value: I have a confession - I fell in love with Shin Se Gi and I cannot get enough of Ahn Yo Na! They are the two personalities of Cha Do Hyun that I like the most! I have no qualms re-watching this drama just for these two characters.

Overall: I give this drama 9/10. Why not a perfect 10? Well, although the story manage to evoke a range of emotions and drew the audience into the world of Cha Do Hyun, there are some factual errors here and there - they are minor and depending on the level of perfection you demand, they are not important enough to distract from the enjoyment of the drama. Hence, the -1 mark. Other than that, this is a brilliant drama and if you find yourself conflicted if you should go for Kill Me, Heal Me or Hyde, Jekyll and I....go for Kill Me, Heal Me. You will not regret it! Happy watching!

I wanted to watch this for Ahn Jae Wook, but unfortunately his role was so bad I ended up skipping most of his scenes :'( and instead ended up watching & finishing it for the Twins story (Go Soo & Kim So Yeon). The central story is about how twins who were estranged from each other, find each other and become a family. I feel like this drama was drug on for too long - I think it would have been better if it ended with 30 episodes instead of 50 b/c honestly I lost half my interest and became bored by that episode mark. I was just rushing through the last 20 episodes :/

I liked Kyeong Bin the most (Go Soo) and really enjoyed seeing him do his best to become real twin siblings with Seung Ni/Yu Kyeong (Kim So Yeon). They fought a lot after they first met, but eventually started warming up to each other and caring for each other. I enjoyed their journey. Su Chul (Ahn Jae Wook) was a liar and a cheater and I hated his relationship character - I did think he was a good friend and brother - but a horrible lover. (and this is coming from a fan of him). I think this was his worst drama. I really liked Nam Kyeong (the second sister - curly hair - Kim Ji Young) she reminded me a lot of actress Lee Tae Ran (a favorite actress of mine), she was nice and supportive to her siblings, honestly she seemed the like the oldest - like the leader of the pack if you will ;P Chan Mi was a good friend and I liked her role. Hwang Soo Jung plays the mute sister and she did a great job with her sign language & expressing emotions - I liked her for the most part - but ended up skipping half her scenes b/c she is mostly with AJW... :/

Music was EXCELLENT, I loved it! I have it listed in the comments <3

I will not re-watch this drama and unfortunately I do not recommend it - not even to AJW fans like myself. Go Soo fan's might like his part in the show though - I know I did ^^

I didn't really know who EXO were before watching this drama. I'm not a huge fan of K-Pop and had heard the name EXO before, but not really anything else.

I just wanted to watch this since it is the perfect length to watch for study breaks and I had run out of other web drama options.

This is the best mini/web/whatever drama I have watched for a while. I laughed and I cried, which I didn't expect going into it.

Don't expect an in-depth drama, that's pretty impossible within the time frame of shows like this. What this is instead is sweet and frothy fun. It knows what it is (a lot of EXO fanservice) but I didn't feel like it went overboard with that.

I have seen some pretty atrocious idol acting in the past, but this was a surprise given that the performances were pretty solid. It was campy, yes, but that''s fine, anyone who likes s'mores will tell you camping is fun.

The directing was good and the music wasn't just overblown EXO on repeat. I would happily re-watch this.

Again, DO NOT watch this is you expecting something that has layers and depth. I will use Suhan's character (lovingly called, "Suhan") and his love of coffee for an analogy:

Some dramas are short blacks, it is all coffee, but you have to take time to see the nuances of flavour in every cup. Then there's cappuccinos. The coffee flavour is diluted with milk or cream with lots of froth, but it is still delicious, just a different type of delicious. A cappuccino is what this drama is. Maybe even just the froth of a cappuccino, but that doesn't mean it's not drinkable!

I am saying these things because friends of mine put down this drama without even trying it as just fanservice fodder.

Also, Kwang Su and Suhan's bromance was so cute. The EXO members bromance with each other was cute.

I thank this drama from the bottom of my heart for easing my overloaded and wrung-out brain with ten-minute episodes of frothy-cappuccino fun.

First off, this drama screamed 'not for you, way too bubblegum.' Surprise of the year for me! OMG is well written&amp;produced-directed- thank you drama overlords. The male lead always seemed uncomfortable acting, stiff and just lackluster in other dramas however these traits played to the character he portrayed -well done! As for the female lead, she pulled off a great role and really offered us two people - well done.
Story line, a rigid, perfectionist, and lonely man runs into a girl with special abilities who turns his world upside over. All reminding us to live now, love now. Never take the next moment for granted.
Other supporting cast members were spot on and rounded out the story wonderfully.
Music: ideally placed yet not wormy.

Btw- if you are looking for a villain to go on any list, this drama has one and he is flawless in his portrayal of a kindness mask worn by pure evil - he was my takeaway role.

Watch again, maybe... good writing, directing, &amp; production are rare now days.
