The storyline for romcom is just too perfect for them
I love everything about this kdrama! It's got the perfect blend of romance, comedy, and thriller, along with a healthy relationship. The main leads look perfect together, and you can sense there's something more than friendship between them, especially in their behind-the-scenes moments. I hope they're both doing well and happy right now, and I secretly wish they end up together in real life too.Was this review helpful to you?
why i dropped my demon
i started my demon for the cast + hype (i love both the leads), and while it had its moments, it didn’t completely hit for me. the plot felt a little lackluster and predictable, and the shift between comedy and serious scenes was kind of jarring.the pacing itself was nice though — i’m always a fan of a slow burn/enemies-to-lovers type of vibe. the chemistry between song kang and kim yoo jung was amazing, and as a romance lover i thought their scenes together were super cute. side character wise, the sword star girl was annoying lol, but the butler and secretary duo had me laughing.
the visuals and music were beautiful as expected, but honestly once he got the tattoo back i started losing interest — it just got boring again. i ended up dropping it, but for what i did watch i’d give it a 7/10.

Leads couldn't keep me
Kim You Jung and Song Kang had really great chemistry that felt very natural throughout the drama. Their interactions were easily the strongest part of the series, and they carried many of the emotional scenes well.Kim You Jung as Do Do Hee portrayed the character extremely well. She perfectly embodied a confident and powerful career woman while still showing elegance and vulnerability when needed. Her screen presence was strong, and she made Do Do Hee feel mature and believable without overdoing the cold CEO personality.
Song Kang as Jung Gu Won definitely portrayed the mysterious aura of the character really well in the beginning. He had the charm, coldness, and supernatural presence expected from a demon character, especially during the earlier episodes when the drama focused more on the darker fantasy and thriller elements.
I never read the webtoon and so I don't know how it was for that, but I felt the comedy aspect didn’t work well with this drama. The humor often felt out of place and didn’t blend naturally with the darker and more serious tone of the story. Whenever the drama focused on the suspense, romance, or supernatural elements, it was much more engaging. The tonal shifts between comedy and seriousness sometimes made the pacing feel inconsistent.
One of my biggest issues was Jung Gu Won’s character development. He was introduced as this cold blooded and intimidating demon, but then suddenly became overly soft and completely blinded by love. The problem wasn’t necessarily the romance itself, but how fast the transition happened. It didn’t feel gradual or naturally developed, which made the character shift feel unbelievable. It almost felt like the writers changed his personality overnight rather than slowly building emotional growth over time.
I also felt the drama started taking a different direction around the halfway point. The earlier episodes had a stronger balance of mystery, fantasy, and tension, but later on the story leaned much more heavily into romance and melodrama. Because of that, some of the intrigue and excitement from the beginning started fading away for me. I ended up dropping the drama after episode 11 because the later direction just wasn’t as engaging as the earlier episodes.

Masterpiece but still not fully satisfied for one minor part
My Demon is a Iconic, Pure Masterpiece. It is Happy Ending but feeling Sad because it’s Complete now. My demon team has successfully made fans cry, laugh, and win their hearts❤️.Why I'm not fully satisfied?
⚠️ Spoilers Alert : It would have been more satisfying for me if Gu-won had become human at the end. Because it’s not clarify how he's gonna live after Do Do Hee's present life💔😓. He can't live without her for a moment. Anyway, That's writer decision, Some of fans are fully satisfied & Some of not. Missing My Demon 💔.
Completed on 22 January 2024. 3rd Day (24 January 2024) update of me after completed : Still could not recovered yet. Feeling so heartbreaking 💔. Because after being attached to a great show for so long and emotionally attached to the characters, I'm always heartbroken when it ends.

The little details...
lol I just finished watching it and this show clearly got me hooked throughout the time I was watching... the acting, the storyline, the actors, details connecting... I just LOVED it. And my fav detail is probably the god's hat missing the letter 'o' in most scenes, which is written 'God', but in the last scene that she appered was a brand new hat writing 'Good', and it really made it clear that how she had developed characteriscally through the end, but not leaving her personality by calling Gu-won & Do-hee's last scene "Silly humans!". It was worth watching it overall, and now I'm in a feeling of emptiness, like after every time completing a show, but now it feels much more different...Was this review helpful to you?
It was promising but falls short
I gave it a seven because of the dramatic effects and the wardrobe of the cast. I've fallen asleep in two of the episodes. Honestly it started so good. Now I'm just waiting to see if anything cool happens later on. The FL is good but the chemistry is off I don't know why. The main lead is okay but falls short ABIT. I loved the grandma. Hate the crazy stalker dude. I'm not even interested in the succession politics. Couldn't care less who ends up with the company. Also they have taken too long to bring up this contract and even introduced an unnecessary love triangle. Sigh. .........Was this review helpful to you?
Opinion reviews
Yes at first I felt very interested, but over time I started to get bored when the villain was revealed and I thought the ending would be like I imagined. I watched it because of Kim Yoo Jung And the rest of Song Kang, I'm starting to get bored. I'm waiting for something new that I haven't found yet, but I feel like I saw Angel's Last Mission, only a different version.As for style, I really like Do Do Hee and Guwon's appearance.
I feel that the song is not touching enough, but there is one thing that makes it feel good, when dancing.

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 FOMODISLIKES
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

How Did I Watch 4 Episodes of This Trash
They're trying so hard to make Song Kang's character into Doom (Seo In Guk) in Doom at Your Service—even down to some of the ambient sound effects... but he really doesn't have convincing "bad boy" vibes. At all. It feels like your friend's cute little brother in a vampire costume trying to convince you he's sooo dark and mysterious.It feels like this is the "parade-of-eye-candy and familiar-cliches-people-love makes up for lack of quality in writing, dialogue, characters, etc." formula that made King the Land popular.
Everything about the screenplay is just bad and contrived. They (and the scenarios they're put in) tick a lot of stock cliche boxes, but there's not a lot (any?) complexity to grab on to and bring them to life. I've liked Yoo Jung in other things, but she comes off as very wooden in this role.
But, I mean, we get lots of close ups of pretty leads, so that makes up for it right?
All in all, I liked the premise, but high production quality and big names do not guarantee a good drama—but it can make for a popular drama. So, have fun with this! I'm tapping out.

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.

Contract Marriage, Chaos, and a Demon Who Should Not Be This Attractive
📝 Review(WARNING: Potential Spoilers — I’m Not Saving You from Any Emotional Damage)
My Demon is one of those dramas that knows exactly what it is: glossy, dramatic, funny, emotionally heightened, and unapologetically committed to its premise.
Do Do Hee is written and played with precision—controlled, strategic, and emotionally guarded without tipping into monotony. She isn’t softened too quickly, which makes her gradual emotional thaw feel earned rather than rushed.
Song Kang as Gu Won is pure controlled chaos. A demon who begins as detached and superior, only to steadily unravel as he experiences human attachment, emotional dependency, and the absolute inconvenience of caring about someone. The shift from predator to protector is where the show really finds its rhythm.
The contract marriage setup is handled with enough self-awareness that it avoids feeling repetitive. Instead of dragging the trope, the show uses it as a framework for forced proximity, identity unraveling, and emotional recalibration.
But the real surprise strength of the drama is its comedic timing.
The supporting duo—Park Bok Kyu and Shin Da Jeong—are quietly one of the best comedic anchors in the entire series. The repeated name sabotage alone should be studied in controlled environments. It’s simple, stupid, and completely effective every single time.
The romance itself is glossy and stylized rather than grounded. It leans into chemistry, visual framing, and emotional intensity rather than slow realism. And it works because both leads fully commit to the tone.
Lee Sang Yi’s Seok Hoon adds stability without overpowering the central dynamic, which is exactly what that role needed to do.
Where the drama shines most is in its balance: comedy doesn’t undercut emotion, and emotion doesn’t suffocate comedy. It walks a tight line and mostly sticks the landing.
And then there’s the OST.
“True” by Yoari does a lot of heavy lifting. Possibly emotional fraud levels of lifting. It becomes one of those tracks that permanently attaches itself to certain scenes and refuses to leave.
By the end, the story doesn’t reinvent the genre—it refines it into something stylish, watchable, and emotionally satisfying.
It’s not subtle.
It’s not trying to be.
And that’s exactly why it works.

Be careful not to fall for Song Kang
I absolutely loved everything about , there's not much to critique; it's just a perfectly sweet and charming romance. The story is full of those heart-fluttering, sugary moments that make it impossible to stop watching. If you're in the mood for a light, feel-good love story, this one's for you! Visually, the drama is stunning, with beautiful cinematography that perfectly complements the romantic tone. The soundtrack adds another layer of magic, enhancing the emotional impact of key moments.Was this review helpful to you?
