Plot

The human body is capable of all sorts of things to survive difficult situations. Cha Do Hyun (Ji Sung) is a third-generation business heir who developed dissociative identity disorder (previously known as multiple personality disorder) in the aftermath of several life-threatening traumatic events. He tries to regain control over his life with the help of Oh Ri Jin (Hwang Jung Eum), a first-year psychiatric resident who helps him secretly. But Ri Jin’s twin brother, Oh Ri On (Park Seo Joon), is a writer who is determined to uncover the unscrupulous lives of the rich and starts following Do Hyun around. Can Do Hyun take control over his condition before one of his seven personalities takes control over him instead?

Cast

Main characters

  • Ji Sung as Cha Do-hyun[14]
    • Lee Do-hyun as child Cha Do-hyun (Cha Joon-young)
A wealthy businessman with a warmhearted personality who loves to help others. Which who he is, the main personality of the body. However, 11 years ago, after he realized that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder (DID) and he has been desperately trying to hide it from his families and friends. He has six other identities:
  • Shin Se-Gi: A vehement guy with a devil-may-care demeanor who appears when Do-hyun experiences violence. He may be violent, but he never hurts children and women. Se-Gi endures all of Do-hyun's pain as he is the only one who remember his memories. His first love is Oh Ri-jin.
  • Perry Park: A 40-year-old man with an affinity for fishing and building bombs. He speaks with Jeolla dialect.
  • Ahn Yo-seob ("Yo-seob" is the Korean version of "Joseph"): A suicidal, intelligent 17-year-old boy and artist. Yo-na's twin brother.

Oh Ri-on's twin sister. A first-year psychiatry resident who tries hard to maintain her seemingly perfect image to cover for her real personality.

He is Oh Ri-Jin's twin older brother. Ri-on often gets mistaken for a goofy simpleton, but he is actually a famous mystery novelist under the pseudonym Omega who investigates about Seungjin Family. His other name is Oh Hwi which is used to flirt with girls.
