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.

Not bad but not good
It's an easy watch, no need to use your brain at all. Probably a good way to destress.Plot
The writing is not amazing, but it's not so boring that I would drop it. As other reviews already mentioned, it's a mix-and-match of your favourite typical cliches. NOTHING AGAINST CLICHES, I like them.
Cast
Amazing visuals from the main cast, Song Kang and Yoojung, and they have amazing chemistry in my opinion (I mean what else can I say?) Acting is great.
Music
Amazing setlist omg, I would totally add the OSTs to my Spotify playlist. The opening theme is catchy and well. Tiktok speaks for itself.
Rewatch value
Rated it kinda high because I think it's really easy to just throw this on and enjoy it.

i love the series and i would fully recommend it.
i normally dont watch kdrama with romance when its one girl and one man as often the girl is made in a way I don't like. but in this series she was shown as an independent woman from start. even if the body guard thing maybe makes her own power less but I feel like it didn't take away how she is. i fully recommend watching it. i will rewatch it one day. Its my fav kdrama romanceWas this review helpful to you?
It grew on me
I'm glad I watched this show. I don't know why because it's full of tropes and some moments or plot points weren't convincing – some parts were laughable because of how convenient they were to the plot. I wanted to drop the drama after 2 or 3 episodes but I kept on watching because I love the two main leads and every show they've been a part of.And SOMEHOW the things that annoyed me the most about the show (exaggerated "charicature comedy" like with the butler and the employees, KYJ not really fitting her "cold CEO" role IMO, trope after trope, not that strong of a chemistry between the two leads...) slowly improved. I probably just matched my expectations to what I was watching and got used to the style of the show. Once I accepted it for what it was it got better and I ended up enjoying many aspects, such as how the main leads evolved over time as individuals and in their relationship, the suspense that was predictable but still fun to watch, the relationships between the "villains", the play with the ideas of good and evil and the aesthetic of the show. I'm glad I had time to binge-watch it though because I would have dropped it had watched it as it came out or couldn't skip forward certain parts.
And how stunning are SK and KYJ? Like damn, they suit each other so well TT

I want Song Kang as my demon boyfriend
Loved this! Watched it for Song Kang but fell in love with the series and with You Jung! So happy it was as popular as it was! Loved seeing everyone talk about it as it was airing and loved to be a part of that. The chemistry between the main two was out of this world!! I need these two in series together again. I loved the story and could've watched so much more!Was this review helpful to you?

Cute Little Drama - Easy Casual Watch
Out the gate I'm a fan of FL Do Do Hee (Kim You Jung) because I thought she was cute and funny in Backstreet Rookie. I think the ML Jung Koo Won (Song Kang) is surprisingly likeable for the devil. I definitely feel like the guy from Doom would be better suited. Although I didn't like Doom and found their chemistry to be 0% which is weird because Park Bo Young has chemistry with everyone!)Oh, and I recognized Joo Chun Sook's actress (Kim Hae Sook) from Room No. 9! Also, Do Do Hee's lawyer, Shin Da Jeong (Seo Jung Yeon) and Jung Koo Won's assistant, Park Bok Kyu (Heo Jung Do) were super adorable, too.
As for the story, I think it's alright. Sadly I didn't have much 2 lead syndrome for Joo Seok Hoon (Lee Sang Yi). His heart just didn't seem in it (not as an actor but his character with hers.) I don't think they gave him much to work with. Also I'm sorry but Jin Ga Young (Jo Hye Joo) was pointless. Her character simply didn't need to exist. They didn't sell their background enough for her to need to be a part of this. She's just there to fill the 2nd lead syndrome on the female cast.
Overall it's an okay little drama. Noh Suk Min (Kim Tae Hoon) and Noh Do Kyung (Kang Seung Ho) did an amazing job at being so convincingly evil that it actually made my blood pressure rise. lol
I set out to find a sort of dramatic, sort of funny, middle of the road drama that wasn't too involved and I think this one nailed it.
