A BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE.
I have no words for this drama. It was beautiful and told a fantastic story. It has the perfect mix of romance, comedy, action and mystery/thriller. There were times when watching this drama that I laughed, cried, smiled and was left at the edge of my seat.I understand this may not suit everyone's tastebuds or reach everyone's expectations but it's worth watching. It gives off 'Destined with You' vibes but this is better. 'Destined with you', is great but I wish it delved into the fantasy genre more whereas, 'My demon' dives into fantasy just enough.
The main characters:
𝑫𝒐 𝑫𝒐 𝑯𝒆𝒆:
Kim Yoo-Jung is the perfect actress for this role. She's incredibly talented and knows how to portray any emotion perfectly. Her visuals are amazing and she's gorgeous. She depicts Do Do Hee as a hardworking and diligent, self-made chaebol who often blames herself for things that are not her fault.
𝑱𝒆𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝑮𝒖 𝑾𝒐𝒏:
Song Kang did well playing out this character. Maybe not his most impressive role. He depicts a demon whose existence is built off of looking down at insignificant humans. But everything changes, once he meets Do Do Hee. He starts to adore these insignificant humans.
𝑱𝒊𝒏 𝑮𝒂 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒈:
Jo Hye Joo flawlessed this role. She managed to make me hate AND like her character. At first, Jin Ga Young is a jealous, second female lead. She's annoying and gets in the way a lot. But then, we start to see her miserable backstory, and why she adores the ML. In the end, she accepts the FL and ML's relationship and wishes them happiness and saves a child who was experiencing the same abuse she was.
𝑱𝒖 𝑺𝒆𝒐𝒌 𝑯𝒐𝒐𝒏:
He wasn't very annoying and you could tell he deeply cares about Do Do Hee. It was great that he never betrayed her, and that he ended up as the chairman.
𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀:
- Kim Yoo-Jung and Song Kang have amazing chemistry and they both have great visuals.
- Many twists and turns imo, that keep you hooked even until the last episodes.

A Devil’s Bargain Wrapped in Desire, Destiny, and Heart
This drama walks in wearing a sharp suit, strikes a deal with your heart, and leaves scorch marks in the best way. My Demon is a glossy blend of fantasy, romance, and danger that knows exactly how dramatic it wants to be and commits fully. The premise alone is irresistible. A demon who loses his powers and a woman who’s mastered emotional armor collide, and sparks fly like contracts signed in fire. But beneath the supernatural spectacle is a surprisingly tender story about trust, loneliness, and choosing love despite knowing the cost.Do Do-hee is cool, controlled, and quietly aching, while Jung Gu-won balances menace and vulnerability with effortless charm. Their chemistry is electric but never hollow. It’s built on contrast. Ice meeting flame. Logic standing toe-to-toe with desire. Every glance feels loaded, every moment charged with unsaid feelings and inevitable consequences.
Visually, the drama is stunning. Moody lighting, polished aesthetics, and symbolism woven into every frame make it feel cinematic without losing intimacy. The pacing keeps the tension taut, and the emotional beats land because the characters are allowed to be flawed, guarded, and human even when one of them isn’t.
What elevates My Demon is its heart. It asks whether love is still worth choosing when it makes you vulnerable, when it risks everything you’ve built to survive. The answer isn’t rushed or easy, and that restraint makes the payoff deeply satisfying.
🔥 10/10 for chemistry, atmosphere, and a love story that dares to burn slow and bright.

My very first korean drama.. ??
My very first Korean drama was My Demon, and after that I got completely addicted to K-dramas — and only made the obsession stronger! 🥰 This drama feels like a perfect blend of fantasy, romance, and irresistible chemistry. As a hopeless romantic, I was totally drawn into the playful yet emotional bond between the leads. Their moments together are swoon-worthy, while the story keeps you engaged with just the right touch of drama and humor. Visually gorgeous and full of heart, My Demon is truly a delightful binge for any K-drama lover like me. ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
ot might sound like i’m exaggerating
when i tell u guys that this is the best k-drama i’ve ever seen, i mean it. i love the plot, i love the story, the actors, literally EVERYTHING. i still can’t get over the fact that some people don’t like it, when i looked at teh rest of the reviews i was SHOCKED. i’ve watched this show right as it came out on loklok, it’s not because somebody recommended it, i just saw the poster and thought it was gonna be cool. i know that everybody skips intros and wtv, but this intro? it’s different, i used to watch it every. single. time. it’s just amazing. the choice of actors and cast is amazing, the main characters have so much chemistry and they look so good together. and the rest of the cast are chosen well. every actor matches it’s role in the show. i don’t really remember the names but hhe two secertaries were so funny. i don’t thinkWas this review helpful to you?
It surprises me every episodes
This drama literally has all genres. At first, it may seem predictable but I too was wrong… it kept unlocking so many plots, so many twist and turns. The mystery to the story is what kept me hooked up. I’ve read so many discussions, theories and assumptions of viewers around the world and its so interesting how mind boggling it is. The actors are great at portraying their roles, they gave me all sorts of emotions. The romcom, the fantasy, the thrill, and the historical drama w/c I loved about kdrama was present too. It’s so hilarious, heart warming and heart breaking at the same time.Was this review helpful to you?
A very "re-watchable" worthy Romcom Mystery drama
It's the type of drama that reminds you why you love watching kdramas in the first place.I'm sure most of you have the same concerns when it comes to Song Kang being the main lead in dramas. He wasn't an A-List celebrity and hasn't made a big name for himself in the acting industry yet so his dramas wasn't always a "must watch". I was a little hesitant to start this drama at first but it was always trending #1 on Netflix so I decided to give it a try. I love Kim Yoojung in romance dramas like Lovers of the Red Sky, Backstreet Rookie and Love in the Moonlight, so I was like "why not?" Went in with no expectations but boy was I wrong for doubting the quality of this drama because the ending of the first ep left me breathless and I immediately binge watched 5 episodes after that.
I think the production value, the soundtrack and the chemistry made this a very enjoyable romance drama. The ending for every episode is very pretty and it made you feel "things". The soundtrack and the editing works very well to make you feel like you're really watching a "romance Kdrama". It brings out this very romantic feeling that made you feel like you're in love yourself. Song Kang and Kim Yoojung were dubbed as the 'visual couple' in this drama and their charms definitely brought out the 'rewatchable' value. The two of them also brought out their emotions very well and I was so touched I cried for the first time in a drama.
Their chemistry gets better and better as the episode goes on, it makes you wonder if the actors were attracted to each other in real life. They felt shy in the first few episodes but their chemistry gets better it becomes perfect. You can feel that the actors genuinely enjoyed the kiss scenes in the episodes. Every interaction felt very natural and enjoyable to watch. Curiosity got to me so I watched the behind the scenes for every episode and they seemed to get along very well with each other off screens too. Their behind the scenes became a hot topic on twitter, weibo and tiktok, it's always trending in the searches and everyone seemed to be very invested in this couple's relationship and chemistry off screens? I can guarantee there's definitely some sort of attraction between the two. Don't believe me? Watch it yourself.
Plot-wise it was pretty interesting (imo), some people may think it's very cliche but that's actually the writers setting a trap for you. They tried to make it look like a cliche romance drama but there's actually plot twists in every ending of the episodes. There's like 4 different mysteries going on in this drama and the mysteries slowly reveal themselves. Each one leaves you more shocked than the other. I was pretty hooked on the plot because the drama seemed very uplifting but it's actually pretty dark?
Overall, it's a very uplifting, romantic, sweet and cute romance drama with a hint of mystery and very dark themes. I think Song Kang found his color in acting for this one. This character fits his real life personality very well. Kim Yoojung too, it's refreshing to see her as a mature and headstrong character. It's NOT a cliche drama where the male lead always have to save the damsel in distress to satisfy the audience. The couple balanced each other pretty well in this one, both male and female characters save and mend each other in their ways. It also feel like there's no gender barrier between the two, there's a very satisfying equality in their relationship and it feels very healthy.
Song Kang definitely made himself noticeable in this drama. He's never in my list for good looking Korean male actors but whatever they've done here with him, whether it's the styling or the mullet adjacent hair, i couldn't stop myself from re-watching every close up scene of him making those expressions. He made the best expressions in this drama and I can say he improved a lot in acting. Kim Yoojung is pretty good too, as a more mature and headstrong female lead in this one. It's very refreshing to watch the two of them together.
I couldn't help myself but gave it a 10/10 for this drama. The plot, the soundtrack, the actors, the chemistry, it fits the type of drama I'm looking for and I love it so much I even bought the soundtrack album myself so it's definitely a must watch if you love romantic dramas. Not your cup of tea if you expect a more fast-paced drama. If you're a person that loves romance, this is for you. if not, watch it to relieve some stress.
fyi: i know kpop idols like zhanghao and ricky watched my demon too. possibly because it's so popular in china and they're both c-line idols. you should def give it a watch if you're a die hard romantic

My Demon. My review.
Soo Good. Loved every episode.It is a somewhat unique story line of fated Loves and the trials faced to be together all interlaced with a few mysteries from past and present for our characters.
The whole cast is amazing from main leads to our villian(s) to the supporting charaters. The visuals of Song Kang & Kim You-Hung are well matched in every scene. Amazing soundtrack!

Who thought we'd all be cheering for a demon?
A series where the numerous glowing online reviews actually do live up to the hype. An interesting and original storyline, beautiful acting, and amazing chemistry. What else could one ask for?I personally never thought I would be cheering for a demon and yet here we are. The series is so well-crafted that it makes us sympathise and feel for the one character we always thought we'd hate. The love story is intriguing and heartfelt and leaves one wondering how soon can the re-watch start. It was a pleasure to watch.

brand new old
Comecei este depois de meses sem assistir absolutamente nada e no geral. É um bom dorama.Foi como ver um remake de Goblin e Desgraça ao seu dispor,a história segue o mesmo rumo mas te prende de forma igual.
a primeira vista, você pode confundir os vilões, então muito cuidado ao julgar o livro pela capa, definitivamente não estamos vendo Vincenzo.
Particularmente, acho que faltou um pouco mais de maldade por parte do vilão, acho que todo enredo tem que ter um vilão que te faça sentir ódio só de olhar pra ele.
Teria sim dado um fim diferente para o aue poderia ter sido um belo casal secundário, ah teria!

Enjoyable but very forgettable.
I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed this k-drama, but I think its biggest problem is that it's very forgettable.On one hand, the chemistry between our two main characters is good and it shows on screen. This show certainly doesn't let Song Kang's physical attributes down lol.
However, what I probably didn't like much was the plot, which in itself is not very innovative in the fantasy genre, it takes us back to past lives again, and reminded me a lot of Doom at your service and Destined With You and so many other kdramas, almost as if all of the fantasy Korean dramas had a child. For that reason, I think this show is easily forgettable.
Although I repeat, I'm not going to lie, I did enjoy it, but I wish they would have omitted so many things that I could tell were plot fillers and added very little from my perspective, and most of the characters were not that well written.

It was a surprising show!
Not, because the plot isn't predictable. Even tho there were some elements that actually surprised me, but there are shows that are even tho they're predictable, it's still fun, have a real meaning. My Demon is not the best show on Earth, but they didn't complicate the story too much, didn't stretched out anything for no reason, like many Kdrama does. Basically every character is lovable, funny, and the villains are not 1-dimensional.The writing isn't the best, but it's consistent, there's no unnecessary drama. Everything that the characters are doing is understandable. The chemistry between Kim You Jung and Song Kang is top-notch, every actor did their best. Honestly, it's quite surprising that most characters actually developed into a better one.
The best part, at least for me, is that there's no stupid love drama, no crazy love triangle or anything like that. The past life story was great too, but it could've been a bit longer.
I LOVED how Ga Young's story "ended", her character development is probably the best!
Like I said, the show surprised me with some of its twists, but overall it's still predictable, but this is the prime example when it can't ruin the enjoyment.
I loved the message of the show as well: Nothing as simple as you may think. Everything has two sides.
I think, this is the meaning of the show.
This show deserve the hype for sure, but don't expect too much, this is just a good, thrilling show with well-written characters and love story.
