My Demon (2023)

Promising start, boring second half

✅Impressive start, the premise was promising, like a demon in contract marriage + losses his powers. I was intrigued how they'll develop the story, and had me hooked till Ep8.

✅ Song Kang being a hot oppa and showing his abs and couple having beautiful visuals.

❌ My boy is a demon, who has lived on this planet for hundreds of years, but he still has no clue about anything and acts like a pathetic lover boy ;/

❌The plot is lackluster with no interesting developments or engaging storyline in the second half of the show. It's extremely predictable.

❌Too much talk, not enough action. For a fantasy drama, I wanted more magic, but it was disappointing that they didn’t use it to its full potential. Unsatisfactory feeling.

❌ There was way too much focus on side stories. They weren't bad, but they were clearly just filler to stretch the show to 16 episodes. It could've easily been wrapped up in 12.

❌I wish the old lady was more involved in the story, her character was interesting and I thought she'll play out a huge part in the story but she didn't 😀 hmmmmm

And don't even get me started on the FL, girly your husband is a demon, what do you expect him to be???? A angel??? 🤣🤣

Overall, I felt this was a mix version of SWDBS and The globin lmaooo with lazyy writing, it had so much potential but route was too cliche and ended up becoming too predictable for my taste🤧

5.2/10

this kdrama is not overrated!!

Many people say that this drama is overrated but let me tell you, not at all! This drama deserves EVERITHING

It has a good plot and for my taste it is perfect since it contains the main plot of the romance of the protagonists who are enemies to lovers with touches of comedy and for me what makes it more special is the plot with the mystery about who wants to kill dohee and everything behind that, family dramas and jealousy and who will inherit the company...

And the chemistry between the protagonists!!! I loved every scene between song kang and kim yoojung

In short, I love everything about this drama and I would watch it again and I will continue to love it. And I could say that it has become one of my favorite dramas, entering my top 5

A COMPLETE PACKAGE OF EMOTIONS!

LETS TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS DRAMA!
THE STORY!
The story was so damn good! all the characters were build in such way that either way they were connected to each other. The first meet when the tattoo transferred and the last episode scene when she wishes him back and he just appears there, these were such a memorable scene in the drama. Next it was soo good to see every characters backstory so smoothly without over exggagerating it!
THE CHARECTERS!
The demon : Can anyone complaint about song kang ! he's such a angel and his acting skills were super awesome in the drama! His savage moves , his smile had me at every moment! the way he calls do he "do do". super cute song kang...
Do do he : she was so good in the boss role ! the way she handles her elegance with a soft feminine touch i loved it . She slayed it.
THE OST:
addicting!!!! the title song gives goosebumps ! and all other song were soooo good.
OVERALL THE DRAMA WAS A HIT FOR ME BECAUSE I LOVED IT AND I WAITED FOR EVERY SINGLE EPISODE EAGERLY!!!

Best Korean Drama In Years.

When I first heard about my demon. I thought to myself that this probably worth to watch since the main leads might be a good pair. And it turns out, they are such a match that I don't want to move on from after watching the drama. 💗

The plot includes many genre such as romance to comedy, thriller, action and fantasy which is an interesting thing to see in a kdrama.
I never get bored at all watching this drama.

To be honest for me, this is the best korean drama yet of the century since I've never seen anything like this. It will make you feel attached almost instantly that you want to immediately watch the next episode and binge watch.

BEYOND EVERYTHING.. The chemistry between the main lead actor and actress was shockingly over the top!!. Besides their incredible acting that makes you able to feel their emotions while watching that makes My Demon an absolute tear-jerker and emotional roller coaster which is a sign of a masterpiece, the chemistry between the lead roles and also the supporting actors and actresses makes you want to keep going .

I'm already rewatching some of the episodes and planning to rewatch in the near future or after some time.

The romance genre really suit the show since the sweetness of the relationship between the married couple is over the top.

Last but not least, I've become a fan of Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung after watching My Demon.
I don't think we will be able to see anything like this pairing in a long time. Their on and off screen chemistry just incredibly good that you will think that this pair is made for each other. Even chemistry of people in real life doesn't seem this good.

Anyway, thank you to all My Demon casts and Producers, Writers and everyone involved in working hard in making My Demon a success. My Demon is definitely a great and iconic drama and it will stay in our hearts for a long time.

Thank you for making such a good show and making our lives happier.

A simple refreshing drama:)

I loved the cast and story wise everything was balanced. Some people might feel there were a lot of unnecessary scenes or fillers or that it was draggy, but I feel like these scenes were the ones that added depth to the story. It's not conventional for a kdrama hence the unpopularity in Korea. But otherwise the acting was splendid, chemistry was just PERFECT and romance was top notch. This drama lived up to its genre!!!

And the past life trope was well played out and I would more appropriate and connecting for this storyline. It was not just like "oh I loved you in the past so I have to love you now" kind of this. There was good flow and reasoning to why it is how it is. This is the first couple in a kdrama that has been intimate throughout the episodes, at least longer than some other dramas. Like bed scenes, sleeping together, having conversations, hugs and small kisses. You dont see this often.

I am definitely going to watch it again^.^

THE DRAMA OF THE CENTURY!

Everything about this drama was exceptional. The acting, the story, the music, the production—simply everything. It's sweet yet thrilling, a perfect romantic comedy. It gave me butterflies, had me on the edge of my seat, and even made me sob; not just crying, but full-on sobbing. I would highly recommend this K-drama, especially if you enjoy dramas like "Business Proposal" and those involving fake/contract marriages.

And can I just say, Song Kang in this series! We got to see a whole new side of him, showcasing his incredible acting skills. Lastly, I must emphasize the chemistry between the main leads – it's like a chef's kiss. Their love feels so authentic, elevating the series to another level.

GO WATCH IT.

I love the story
I love the cast
I love the meaning of the story it tells about love and forgiveness, it tells about faith vs Fate
I love how the actors give justice to their characters
Overall it is worth to watch all over again
Song Kang's character fits well as a Demon
At first it is somehow awkward to watch the idea of Demon as a main role of the series, but along the way, it talks about religion, Christianity and faith
It also talks about the your destiny,
The sequence of events is very interesting, there are so much connection in each character, what is important is that the forgiveness they give... Redemption and Salvation,
Also the later part I like the idea of Seok Hun being the chairman
In terms of Kim yoo Jung's character, wow I've waited for this, I really like Yoo jung as an actress...this project is big and it is fit for her

A Missed Opportunity: When a Promising Drama Falls Short

What's the target age group for this drama? Is it 13 to 18? The plot, actions, and dialogues of the characters are so childish and illogical that it's hard to believe it wasn't meant for that age range. Given a story about a centuries-old demon and a young, successful CEO caught up in a murder plot while the dealing with diminishing power, you'd expect a thrilling, suspenseful tale with lots of unexpected twists. Instead, we get clingy dialogues, endless flashbacks/slow motions, and main characters who are always outsmarted by not-so-clever villains.

The leads are undeniably stunning and have great on-screen chemistry. However, Kim You Jung seems too young for this role. She lacks the depth to convincingly play a successful CEO and comes off as a kid playing dress-up. As for Song Kang, it's a shame his role allowed him to be a wicked demon for only one episode; the rest of the time, he's just love-sick. The supporting cast didn't stand out either.

Ultimately, this drama doesn't quite deliver the depth and excitement you'd hope for from such a promising premise. Even though it starts with an intriguing plot and visually appealing leads, the execution misses the mark, leaving viewers feeling like something's missing. The show struggles to balance its supernatural elements with a coherent, mature narrative, making it a missed opportunity. If you're looking for a gripping and well-structured story, this drama might not meet your expectations. It’s a reminder that good looks and star power aren't enough to carry a story that lacks substance and depth.

I have a wish too . . please shorten this series by half

The premise of the show is interesting. A demon who can grant a wish to anyone in exchange for eternal damnation. We were shown a few tantalising examples to whet our appetite. It also serves to demonstrate the ML’s demonic powers. It was entertaining while it lasted.

The wheel starts to fall off once the Demon gets his powers back. We are attacked by a herd of drunken unicorns. We have a whole episode of them being lovey-dovey. So sweet, my teeth are aching. Other than a couple of key scenes, it is utter meaningless fluff. This happened again and again. Sugar overload or deepest melancholia, choose your poison.

But wait! There's more. Why stop at unicorns? Let’s throw in a psycho killer, a deranged young man and a power-hungry evil mastermind. That's what I call a party! Some show can pull this off, but this drama wasn't even trying. Most of the characters are one dimensional. Many side characters are just canon fodders. There was minimal creativity. It is a smorgasbord of ideas mashed together and spread super thin.

This is not helped by plot holes, bad pacing and whiplash change of tones. We literally have filler episodes inserted into the middle of the show just to pad out the runtime. Throw in lengthy recaps and repetitive flashbacks to the 18th century and we have a lot of dead space in between the key plot developments. I can only credit this to a need to keep our leads in play for as long as possible so that the production company can capitalise on their star powers. The amount of PPL is quite egregious.

Unsurprisingly, the 2OTP is a lazy caricature. Their "romance" was a 5 sec joke that went on for 5 hours. Those seasoned actors have my deepest respect. They took one for the team.

I also feel sorry for the fans of the two leads. The potential is there. Their pairing could have been magical but there is very little spark here. The script is so heavy handed that you stop believing after awhile. They still look good together, but it feels like they are models sashaying through the glamourous sets.

Sadly, the paper-thin plot and lazy writing makes the rest of the show barely watchable. As soon as the Demon regained his powers, the tension is gone. If that is not enough, they throw in a god who can override everything. Who needs narrative logic when you have god's will. I do have to give the show props for their version of God. It is certainly an interesting take and a brave choice from a Korean perspective.

O Daemon, I beseech thou! Grant me mine wish. Pretty please?

Moving On ...

Finally on eps 9 i tap out.

Came the Opponent big reveal... and it was what everyone already knew !!

Theres a few side stories that are so silly that have no content or purpose ( The never ending rehearsals, and the gang that follows him around ...)

I confess , that it confuses me when the male lead has more makeup then the female lead , and he plays some macho moments ... hard not to do some eye rolling in the process .

She's gorgeous , hope to see her in future projects .

And he was so much better in "Sweet Home "

i have tried ...moving on
