My Demon (2023)

bad from the very beginning...don't bother

From the very beginning, seeing the type of camara quality they had, I knew something was up.

To sum it up, I felt this was meant for 13 year olds.
"Pretty" faces are not enough to make it worth watching.

It was dull, uninteresting and had some pretty bad acting from the main lead. I don't know if it's his line delivery or what, but it feels awkward and unnatural, more so when he's delivering a "joke". The female lead was great as always and she suits the comedic style much better than the ML, but it wasn't enough to salvage the series. The story was so boring, there was nothing to keep me going except my conviction that a project with such popular actors 'must' be good. Alas I was wrong.

I was struggling so much to keep going that I decided to stop. There are so many other dramas that are out right now that deserve my attention (Welcome to Samdalri, Tell me that you love me, and Flowers in sand).

Bad plot, bad acting, bad production quality. Better just watch a quality classic instead.

just no

This was a waste of my time. I've spent 6 hours watching this when I could've done other things. I blame my FOMO

DISLIKES

The characters
The fl is meant to be this independent businesswoman who isn't a damsel in distress, right? Instead, we have a character who constantly needs to be saved by this handsome demon (who is the only demon in the entire series apparently). She also needs to marry someone to inherit her family's business APPARENTLY. And don't get my wrong. I'm not saying romance makes a woman weak and dependent of her partner. It's just silly that she needs to marry to inherit the business and the rescue missions done by the ml were becoming extremely repetitive. What do you mean ''she's being hanged from a building by the ones who want to kill her''. HER KILLERS COULD'VE KILLED HER QUICKLY WITHOUT DELAY? All these situations show that the demon's powers are extremely useless the fl's bodyguard could've been a human.

Surprise surprise, I do not only dislike the fl but the ml as well! He isn't funny, he isn't romantic. His only personality trait is being a goofy demon who apparently lived for many years but doesn't in the slightest bit act maturely as he's just a silly demon.

The romance
The leads start bickering on their first meeting, so I could tell they wanted to make this an enemies to lovers romance. Plot twist, they weren't enemies at all! The trope was so forced it's hilarious. Their interactions were so boring I'm surprised I managed to watch 6 episodes. To sum it up, their romance was boring. I found it bland and poorly written.

Honestly, I can't say much about the plot. The only thing I'll say is that it didn't make sense

LIKES

The ost was decent, I guess

this IS not my tipe female lead

after watching this drama, I can't agree with what people wrote that it is the best series .. the series is good but not to my taste, it didn't excite me so much that I would have butterflies in my stomach from it .. maybe it will be a female character, I always like the older one a strong, independent woman, she's too young for that role ..it's more suitable for older people as we all know (its okay not be okay) that's exactly the kind of woman I imagined in this drama, unfortunately I didn't like her at all, I mainly watched ore song kang because I love every drama but this one is not one of my favorites

Dissapointed ending. SPOILER ALERT!!!

Have you ever lower the score cause the happy ending? Well this exactly what happen with me & this drama. The happy ending left sour taste in my mouth, forcing me to give this drama quite low score. For you who still don't understand & feel the need to ask... Yes this has HAPPY ENDING, but for me better leave this with the sad or open ending than this happy ending. Or just leave this like Hotel Del Luna kinda ending is still better....

As usual save review first. AKA what I like about this drama.
+ The chemistry between Kim You Jung & Song Kang.
+ The growth in character Do Do Hee (DH) & Jung Koo Won (KW). Like to see them falling with each other, start to care & built their relationships. As well we also can see how KW more & more human each time he get closer to DH.
+ Although KW is demon with all the power possible, he still need the help of Park Bok Kyu to do stuff for him. Like investigation etc...
+ The cute relationship between Shin Da Jeong & Park Bok Kyu. Never expected, yet no surprise see them as a couple,
+ Jin Ga Young, Joo Seok Hoon, Joo Chun Sook. Like all these character. They being normal human that show us we each has our selfishness in doing our things, yet they not so evil that willing to sell theirselves to evil to achieve something.
+ The most interesting thing this drama give us. The sad truth face of human. There's always 2 kind of people, when devil knock on ur door. 1st is like Joo Chun Sook, turn over when see the demon herself. The other is like the last person, after make a deal with the devil, but when the devil ask us for our part of our deal, still do everything possible to avoid it, even lying through our teeth....

Overall this just another drama to fill ur days... Below is SPOILER ALERT!!! Read it with ur own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================
Now the sour taste in my mouth....
- They never really explained to us why Noh Suk Min want DH died. Or maybe just me missed it.... At first yeah maybe because of the inheritance, but later... WHY...? That's the point that I still don't understand.....
- Everything just end too beautifully. It's like the original plan is to close with sad ending, but someone just smash the table and scream I want HAPPY ENDING! And so here we are now... For me better close with KW still gone & the last reunion just happen in DH's dream. It's like KW said final goodbye to DH. It's more poetic & beautiful ending. Than this force, weird & ruinning happy ending.

Its okay

Look I know this kdrama is realy popular and loved but It just wasnt realy all that. I know the casting was beautiful there were pretty people who looked good together. But I just dont know about the story. Its so much like Doom at your service, when he faded away the editing was just like Goblins. Anddddd I dont like how fast and quickly they got together, I understand the needed to do that juz then they had problems because they are together and that was most of the kdrama that they cant be together, he is worried about her, she gets almost killed. But then It could of been a 20 episode kdrama. Juz they got together wayyyy too fast.

WATCH IT OR NOT?!!?

mhmm I'll keep it short.

This was quite the Romance/Fantasy rollercoaster and I'm all for it!

Firstly I would like to point out that all actors were on point and this Drama was definitely up there from the OST to the Story especially the VISVUALS oof...

Great watch value for sure if you are looking for a Romantic drama with a basic but interesting Fantasy aspect such as "Deamon".

This is one of the dramas that actually end with the last episode resolving all the viewers questions as such making it just another great point to watch it if you hate bad/open endings.

Every episode keeps you hooked and maybe it will be a bad idea to watch it if you are short on time cause if it was fully aired when I watched the first ep I definitely would have binged it through!

If you are looking for something to make your days a bit more happy, from the visuals to the romance I would definitely recommend this Drama.

Well that's it for this short review, hope it was helpful.

EXTRA:
[Something that caught my eye was the Cap that said Deity was wearing changes form Goød(the second o is scratched out if you look) to Good at the end]

In Kim Yoo Jung, I trust!

Another win for Kim Yoo Yung’s filmography! Ain’t the best but still performs pretty well. Her influence and her previous projects captured my interest in adding the show to my list. She always delivers her characters with her utmost acting performances. Indeed, one of the most versatile actresses in the entertainment field.

Story-wise, it has uniqueness but can’t help but get bored from time to time. Yet, one thing is for sure, I enjoyed the touch of comedy, especially from the supporting cast. If I have to pick the most intense and memorable scene, it has to be the ending of the third episode. I was screaming and clapping my hands from the tension when Do Do Hee realized that the death of Madam Ju was not caused by a health incident but more a case of murder in which one of the family members was the suspect. The execution was that good to keep me energetic the whole scene.

Then, many things happened, some are good yet some are just average. Jumping to the finale episode, I liked how they concluded the story of each character. A happy ending for the couple and the people around them. But I get too emotional from two characters. First is the oblivious mother who lost her son at the hands of the true evil personality of the story, her husband. She misses him so much but it is too late for her to save her son. Regret and moving forward are her only options. The second and the most wholesome finale was when Jin Ga Young saved a little girl from her abusive father. This particular scene burst me into tears knowing how she has the same past as the girl she accidentally met in the present. I love this scene.

I rarely watch Korean dramas nowadays since I felt like I would never experience the same wave of feelings from the K-dramas in the past, especially from the 2016 era of K-dramas. Yet, My Demon is one of the few dramas that I gave a shot and never regretted it. It is fun, cute, chaotic, and has a lot of emotion to offer. Song Kang’s acting also improved a lot too. I am not satisfied with the fantasy element but at least I enjoy the comedy and a little bit of romance from the show.

Enjoyable little demon

I was going back and forth on rating this an 7.5 or 8 but I'm going to stick with the 7.5. I enjoyed the romance of this drama so much. I'm a hopeless romantic so I don't mind the cliche cringy stuff but in my opinion, this drama didn't have any cringy behavior between the leads. I wish this story would focus more on the romance and a little less on the psychotic family craziness. The family drama, the multiple deaths, and the light thriller aspect brought this drama down for me. I also didn't like the female lead decisions, in the beginning, she was shown as this badass CEO but once the heat got hot she gave up her inheritance because she wanted a quiet life.????

I don't know why she thought if she gave everything up the threats to her life would stop. I wish I could've seen the demon be more of a demon and make more deals for the benefit of the story but the writers didn't think that far. The writers were extremely lazy toward the end when they had the FL take a bullet for an immortal that would've survived without the serious consequences caused by her actions. However, the writers needed that one last push so all thought went out the window.

The romance and chemistry between the leads are what kept me interested. The ML is also very attractive which also kept my attention lol.

Goblin feels ??

I am a super fan of Kim Yoo Jung I almost watched all of her dramas and movies because she is very good and effective in everything that she does. I am not a super fan of Song Kang after this drama I kinda like him ( I also like him in Sweet Home).

I love how the story runs, loved the love-hate relationship at first that turns into you against the world relationship. The Gu Won really loves Do Hee that he will do anything to please her I also loved their backstop or their past life that they are really lovers.
I like that Gu Won really never gets old eventhough he is a beyond ages because he is the demon just like goblin.
They have the same pain that we feel when the guy disappears because of the sacrifice in order for the girl to live.

I super loved this drama, they never lose the touch of romantic comedy. You will loved it as much as I did. Both have a good chemistry together ❤️

Very very catchy Fantasy series with intense interactions within the CL.

PLOT: A demon saves FL, adopted daughter of a large company, from an assassination attempt, but the tattoo to activate his powers is transferred to FL's wrist. They must therefore team up to protect the FL (from the toxic and dangerous family +++) and find a way to restore the ML's tattoo. The CL therefore makes a marriage (contract). They will discover how their fates have been intertwined for a long time.

PROS:
+ Fantastic CL with Song Kang as ML & Kim Yoo Jung as FL.
+ A magnificent cinematography (the producer has a "Goblin" style).
+ Dynamic production, excellent special effects.
+ The story is relatively coherent, for a fantasy series, with “wisdom” or “philosophy” passages.
+ The OSTs are beautiful.

CONS:
- the product placements are too obvious, like in all recent Kdramas!
- The Great Villain, intelligent, perverted, sadistic,... is excessive. He could be a demon, surviving his fall from a building... Seriously?

=> An eye-candy, for CL and cinematography
**************************************************************************************
Très très accrocheur, avec intenses interactions au sein du CL.

PLOT: Un démon sauve la FL, fille adoptive d'1 gros groupe, d'1 tentative d'assassinat, mais le tatouage pour activer ses pouvoirs est transféré au poignet de la FL. Ils doivent donc s'allier pour protéger la FL (famille toxique et dangereuse +++) et trouver le moyen de restituer le tatouage. Le CL fait donc un mariage (contrat). Ils vont découvrir comment leurs destins sont entremêlés depuis longtemps.

PROS:
+ Fantastic CL with Song Kang as ML & Kim Yoo Jung as FL.
+ A magnificiant cynematography (the producer has a "Goblin" style).
+ Réalis° dynamique, effets spéciaux excellents.
+ La story est relativement cohérente, pour une série fantastique, avec des passages "sagesse" ou "philosophie".
+ Les OST sont belles.

CONS:
- les placements de produits sont trop évidents, comme dans tous les Kdramas récents !
- Le Great Villain smart,pervert, sadique,... est excessif. Il pourrait être un démon, survivant à sa chute d'un building... Sérieux ?

=> An eyecandy, pour le CL et la cinématographie
