My Demon

A good, lightful & comedic drama

Starting off it was expoentionly good, but as you watch you realise that has typical plot but at the same it's unique,
Good factors:
*It contained amazing chemistry
*it was really funny
*The acting was amazing
*it was pretty exciting and I kept waiting for new episodes eagerly

No not so good factors:
*The storyline was messed up
*At some point the storyline was so predictable
*The timing and everything was going downhill as we reached the end of the drama
*It just had too much things
Spoilerrr - gu won returning as a demon make sense as he was immortal as a demon, ofc he would grieve for do hee if she died because she's a human, she's bound to die since she's an mortal, it would only make sense if he returned as a human

Not only me but many people think the same
So iam not tryna offend anyone..
In conclusion I really liked it overall I would recommend it

Watching this for Song Kang

Let me start with the fact that the actress Kim Yoo Jung looks like a doppelgänger with Ki Hyun Woo. Right down to the eye mold on the left cheek.

As with Kdramas with chaebols. You can expect a villain. This villain became apparent after before the final reveal. As soon as you were shown the son being evil you can see the misdirect to the true villain. Although they did give a second misdirect with the cousin and the dad.

The mom really did not deserve a redemption arc in the end. Both Chairman Ju and Kim Se Ra. At least the sister Noh Soo A stayed true to being a self serving chaebol to the very end.

Of course what demon series wouldn’t do a past lives reincarnation. At least it makes a bit more sense in this series. I mean we need an original story of why he became a demon.

With the whole 200 year old demon I would imagine there are other demons too. My guess is that he is only accountable for however many souls there are clocks.

It also makes sense that a demon needs to be visual pleasing to the eyes. I mean who would sell their soul to an fugly mofo. I mean the devil is supposed to be god’s most beautiful angel before he fell into hell for an insurrection.

The side couple of Shin Na Jeong and Park Bok Yu was entertaining enough without eclipsing the main couple.

Overall, it is an easy watch despite this not being new or groundbreaking. It is just a guilty pleasure to watch Song Kang in another series where he looks hot with decent story and acting.

Heartfelt Chemistry and Fantasy Twist, but Repetitive Plot and Slow Pacing Weigh Down the Drama

If you’re into supernatural romance and love seeing great chemistry on screen, this one is really worth checking out.

Honestly, what really pulled me into “My Demon” was the chemistry between the leads, like it just felt so genuine and sweet. I just found myself rooting for their romance because it had that perfect mix of warmth and magic. Plus the “demon” made things more interesting than most typical romance drama. It was nice to actually see the characters process things and get some real closure after the big conflicts.

That said, I have to admit that there were times when the story just dragged for me. Some episodes felt like deja vu with all the flashbacks and repeated plot points which made me zone out a little. I also wish the secondary couples and side stories were showed out more as they had potential but just didn’t get enough attention.

The same ending again

I don't know why but all the smiler stories like (goblin, doom at your services...) it safe to see if you watched any of those series you'll be able to except how this will end from the first episode as i actually did and it's no fun to now how a story end from the beginning, it seems like those series all has been given the same plot template which and there's no fun on a twist that have been used in every single one and it wasn't good anyway in any of those ones because i do understand the need of pulling the best possible Happy ending but not over destroying the story law's you made by yourself like oh sad his dead but guess what he's not he is back, but why or how, because he is the mc.
That is whack and not even surprising.

Average one time watch copy paste fantasy rom-com

It is an okayish and average one time watch.The leads looks adorable together.They were the only good part of this half baked show.The story was messy and there were line by line copied scenes from other shows.The show started decently then turned into a messy watch.Also the show villain was poor his character didn't gave me villain vibes.His villain revealation and era was poor too.The things he did as a villain was stupid.Then there was SML character who got wasted he was just a catalyst and supporting character in the show hell other characters got more plot than him.He would have been a better villain even if it would have been a predictable twist.Star Jin was useless and annoying too.But there were some iconic moments that I
liked like the tango fight scene of the leads.The gangstar gang & ML employee -FL secretary were hilarious they brought the comic element in the show.The past backstory was bad and unnecessary there was no need for a Joseon past backstory also unnecessarily adding FL to that backstory was a bad twist.The last two episodes were bad and stupid like the villain burning his own face,him returning to death without any scars after falling from so much high,then ML dying and returning on the same day there was no need to make him disappear for bringing angst in the show etc.The last episode was disappointing too with having only romantic scenes of the leads I was expecting a good iconic ending for the show it doesn't necessarily have to have been a sad ending though.The last episode felt like as usual ordinary other rom-com episodes of this show.

8.3/10

Slightly above average fantasy drama

The show started off interesting and it was good until the point when the ML gets his demon powers back. After that the story is the weakest with little happening. And quite a disappointing end.

The strong point of My Demon is it's OST and opening theme. The cinematography is good but not really used. They didn't try to showcase much of the Demon's powers except for comedic purposes. A lot of recent fantasy drama tropes have been repeated in this one so it felt boring. Still, among the recently airing/aired fantasy dramas, this was one of the better choices.

Repeated tropes included:
1. Chaebol parent forcing their child to get married where they end up in a contract marriage in order to make sure their parent does a health check up (similar to The Story of Park's Marriage Contract).
2. Past life connection - also in The Story of Park's Marriage Contract, My Man Is Cupid.
3. Mystery of a murder(s) - same as above
4. One lead realizing they have a past life connection and other lead slowly getting their past life memory back close to finale and - My Man Is Cupid
5. Cold ML, Warm FL - TSOPMC and My Man Is Cupid
6. A Superior being who is the boss of the supernatural lead - My Man Is Cupid
7. A SML that makes you wonder if they are playing a negative or a useless positive character - My Man Is Cupid, TSOPMC

There isn't much to the story that is new except that they added an element of religion more heavily than other dramas. It just felt a bit cheesy by the end because of it.

The couple make a really cute pair but at times their cuteness gave me sibling vibes rather than a hot couple. For the most part I wasn't bored and I'm giving it a 7 because I enjoyed the first half. Just wish it had more of a wow factor. The ending left a lot to be desired with the villain just turning out to be crazy for no good reason. Many of his actions didn't make sense. Like stealing the demon's book and not really ending up doing anything with it. And sacrificing his son. His end goal wasn't clear at all.

It's okay for a one time watch.

Nothing new!

In the realm of "My Demon," the storyline didn't quite grab me, but the magic was in the leads. Let me break it down for you.

So, the plot? It felt a bit like a background character, not stealing the spotlight. I couldn't pinpoint a captivating narrative arc or thrilling twists that usually keep me on the edge of my seat. It was more like watching the leaves fall in autumn—pleasant but not exactly a gripping spectacle.

Now, before you think I'm dissing the whole thing, let's talk about the saving grace—the leads. Oh boy, they were the stars of the show. Their on-screen magic, the way they looked at each other—those stolen glances and electric moments—that's what kept me hooked. It was like watching a cozy fireplace on a chilly night, comforting and captivating.

I'll be honest; I stuck around for the leads. Their chemistry had this magnetic pull that overshadowed the lackluster plot. It was like having a front-row seat to a mesmerizing dance—you can't look away even if the dance floor isn't the most exciting.

The lack of a gripping plot didn't bother me as much because the characters were my anchor. I watched for their quirks, their banter, and the subtle nuances that made their connection feel real. It's like savoring a simple cup of coffee with a friend; you're not there for the coffee itself, but for the company.

In a way, it became my guilty pleasure. I knew the plot wasn't going to win any awards, but the charm of the leads kept me coming back for more. It's like having a favorite comfort food—it might not be gourmet, but it hits the right spots.

Now, could "My Demon" have benefited from a more robust storyline? Absolutely. A captivating plot would have been the cherry on top. But sometimes, in the vast world of shows and movies, you find these hidden gems where the characters shine so brightly that you overlook the plot's shortcomings.

In conclusion, "My Demon" may not have boasted a mind-blowing plot, but the leads made it a worthwhile watch. It's like a breezy weekend read—you're not dissecting every plot twist; you're there for the characters and the cozy atmosphere they create. If you're into character-driven stories and can forgive a plot that's a bit lackluster, give it a shot. It might just become your guilty pleasure, like it did for me.

My Demon: A Chaotic Cocktail of Romance, Comedy, and the Supernatural

My Demon is a K-drama that stirs together romance, comedy, and the supernatural, offering a unique blend of fantastical elements and lighthearted fun. While the show boasts a charming cast and an intriguing premise, its execution might leave some viewers wanting more.

A Contract with a Demon, with Unexpected Perks: The story follows Do-hee, an ordinary woman who finds herself bound to a mischievous demon named Gu-won through a contract marriage. This unlikely pairing sets the stage for a whirlwind of chaotic situations and unexpected comedic moments. However, the show's humor relies heavily on slapstick elements and exaggerated acting, which might not resonate with everyone.

A Lighthearted Take on the Supernatural: Unlike many K-dramas that delve into darker aspects of the supernatural, My Demon adopts a lighthearted and comedic approach. While the demon element provides some intrigue, the show primarily focuses on the developing relationship between Do-hee and Gu-won, with their dynamic serving as the main source of entertainment.

Chemistry Shines Despite Uneven Tone: Despite the show's uneven tone, the chemistry between the lead actors, Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung, is undeniable. Their performances imbue their characters with charm and wit, making their journey of discovery engaging for viewers. The supporting cast adds further depth and humor, rounding out the lively atmosphere of the drama.

A Breezy Watch with Reservations: If you're looking for a light and entertaining K-drama that blends romance, comedy, and a touch of the supernatural, My Demon might be a good fit. However, be prepared for a show that prioritizes humor and lightheartedness over complex plotlines and profound themes.

A copypasted masterpiece!

My demon is a good drama, in my opinion. It was fairly enjoyable, visually gorgeous, quite funny and generally held up well. It has a very attractive main cast, wonderful special effects, a pretty compelling plot and likeable characters.
Many people complain about the acting but i actually thought it was pretty good most of the time.
It does have many flaws. My demon is extremely predictable, full of Kdrama cliches and generally gives you a huge sense of deja vu. While watching it, i was constantly reminded of other Kdramas such as: Goblin, buisness proposal, heartbeat, and tale of the nine tailed (also many other popular Kdramas.)
My demon seemed to possess the supernatural charm and visuals of 'tale of the nine tailed', humor and cliches of 'buisness proposal' and romance and plot of 'goblin' and 'heartbeat'.
There are many similarities between my demon and these Kdramas, from general cliche tropes to downright copypasting scenes and dialogue. (Example, the scene were Gu Won "dies" in the second last episode is almost identical to the scene in goblin where the goblin Kim Shin dies. They are both held by the female lead as their bodies disintegrate into tiny particles. Another example is the scene where Do Hee is falling off a tall building and Gu Won catches her, which is almost the same as the scene from tale of the nine tailed where the 2 leads do the same thing. Not to mention, the humor of the show in general really reminds me of buisness proposal.)
There are also just general cliche tropes such as the main character dying before magically coming back to life in the very next episode, psychopath villain, maain characters having a fight due to a stupid misunderstanding ect.
But despite all these things, my demon is somehow still a good drama in my eyes because it does manage to put all these cliches together quite well and also shines in its own ways in certain episodes. I think the main couple had great chemistry, the humor was spot on most of the time, as previously said the special affects were beautiful and in general, it was a fun drama. I'd say, go head and give it a try. My demon is nothing special, but it works well with what it has and gives you a sort of nostalgic feeling (like deja vu) and though it is very cliche, that doesnt necessarily make it bad.
My demon is unoriginal, yet alluring and worth watching once
