"우리 모두는 서로에게 파괴자이자 구원자이다."
I was fighting off the desire to steal all the Gu Won's wardrobe till the end, especially that fuzzy white cardigan.My Demon is a beautiful homage to Doom at your service and Goblin with a light sprinkle of Succession/Penthouse.
🔸️With the K-drama industry becoming more diverse and less dependent on its progenitorial techniques in the recent years, I'm sure the fans are yearning for those goofy nostalgic and lively projects. My Demon is exactly that energetic romcom that preserves all the best tropes and kdrama traditions on top of having a great chemistry between the leading actors, and it doesn't cross the line of being cheesy. I mean, Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jeong are both so attractive, "but who should I look at, is it Shang or Mulan?"©
🔸️The story doesn't break any expectations but meets them closely. A cold supernatural being unexpectedly falls in love with a human - and here goes everything you'd expect from such a story - funny misunderstandings, love contracts, break-ups "because my presence harms you", extravagant habits of the male lead, the villain pursuing the female lead, past lives in Joseon, and so on. But there are also many touching side plots, like the one of Jin Ga Yeong who was saved by Gu Won as a kid.
However, the most definite weakness of the writing would be excessive borrowing from more successful dramas, like the dissipation scene from Goblin or the "charging" from Doom At Your Service. I didn't feel anything in the climax BECAUSE I'VE SEEN IT ALREADY almost shot-by-shot identical in another drama with the same result.
🔸️That said, My Demon is still absolutely worth watching of you want to enjoy the authentic kdrama dynamics between the main characters and the supporting ones like "from enemies to lovers" of the two hilarious secretaries, or Gu Won's most faithful mob army, or the funny colleagues in Do Hee's company.
For me, the most interesting character is Do Gyeong. His story is more multifaceted than you expect, and the actor Kang Seung Ho did an amazing job with his performance. 박수!👏🏻

In Behind the Scene too they are like a real couple and many times you found they both blushing front of them🤭
Sweet Kdrama and OST is also Mind Blowing all Ost like New , My morning is better than your night, Yaori True etc.
I suggest you to watch this video and give as much love as you can and we want to see more of Kim you Jung, Song Kang together 😁😁

déception pour le dernier épisode
l'histoire était originale, les personnages méchants bien construits, mais le dernier épisode ne sert quasiment à rien. Il y aurait pu y avoir plus de suspens, plus de drama. L'histoire laisse plusieurs sujets effleurés sans réponse. Comment est il réellement revenu, où était il, que va-t-il se passer lorsqu'elle va vieillir et mourir. C'est vraiment dommage de ne pas avoir exploité plus en profondeur les arrangements de conscience des uns et des autres, la création même du démon et son rôle. Grosse déception vraiment sur le dernier voir les deux derniers épisodes qui sont plats et sans saveurWas this review helpful to you?

Overall very good but…
Overall it was a very good fantasy romcom, one of the better ones. The chemistry, the comedy, the visuals and the actors were the most outstanding part of this drama. It was a fun watch, BUT the writing was lazy in the final few episodes. There was no good explanation to Gu Won’s return, it was also rushed and I missed the character development on his part. I do not undertstand why the series spent so much time exploring on how he is getting back his human self if in the end he stayed a demon??!! I think it would have been a much better arc if the ending is him making peace with his humanity and comes back as one. Maybe he could have given up on his powers in exchange for a human life with Do Do Hee.Keeping everything as it was is very lazy writing in my opinion.
I think Destined with you was superior in this sense even with all of its flaws.
Anyway, it is a fun watch (especially the gang), but do not expect anything out of the ordinary.

The Devil is Hot
Would you ever consider making a deal with the devil? What if it wasn't to save yourself, but someone you loved? I really thought this was going to be a pretty shallow storyline, but about half of the way through i was proven wrong. I thoroughly enjoyed this series. The cast is gorgeous and the costumes and scenery are beautiful. I do feel like they could have gone just a bit further with the series, but I'm also not mad about where it ended.Was this review helpful to you?
Disappointment
I had such high expectations from this show and all it did was just bring disappointment to me. I really don't know why this show has such good reviews. Its clearly overrated. You guys are only cheering for this kdrama because of Somg kang and Kim Yoo Jung ( no hate to the cast they did an amazing job) let me explain what im trying to say.______story______
This kdrama started off strong and had so much potential trust me. Upto episode 4 I was hooked but overtime I just wanted this show to finish asap because of the repetitiveness of misunderstandings with the leads. The leads looked so good together but they doesn't really justify how they used to hate eachother and oneday all of a sudden they fell in love. It just doesn't make sense to me. Also from like episode 8 they had soo many misunderstandings between them. Too many misunderstandings between the main leads is a turn off for me. Also the past life story is overused and was just to make the kdrama long enough to reach 16 episodes.
_______Main leads_____
Now when i say main keads im only talking about the characters in the kdrama and not the actors irl. I didnt like Jeong Gu won too much. His personality never changed not even a little bit even after he got closer to humans. As a demon i know he has a very high ego but calling humans insignificant every two minutes even after marrying a human- tell me about it. Do do hee was fine. The "cold heiress" term only matches her till episode 3 or 4 after that she isn't even cold. Shes a soft person but talks less with most people thats it. Nothing was wrong with her personality.
______Ending_____
The ending could be better- much better there were too many plot holes in the last episode and i dont like "all of a sudden" because of something magical fate changing endings. Here the writers were too desperate to give a happy ending it felt rushed and unexplained.
_______Would I recommend?_______
Personally, even after yapping so much about why I dont like this drama i still would recommend it to people since so many people love it. The person I'm recommending it to might just be like most of you here and might end up putting this show on their top tens.

Should you watch?
If you don't mind plot twists and character development you've seen before then this series will reliably entertain. I noticed borrowed elements from 'Goblin' and 'Doom At Your Service' to name two. The walking out of the fire scene midway through was taken from the American series 'Lucifer'.The set up was good, but the follow through weak. For example, the main character is a demon, who it was shown must make deals periodically or perish himself. Ok, but then this was dropped and only alluded to much later. The story twists and turns don't make use of this seemingly important initial set up and constraint. What if he had had to make deals with the human present?
The first third of the episodes had more misses than hits. The balance began to shift in the middle third as we see some entertaining traction. The last third worked much better and had me binging the episodes for the next reveal. The ending seems a bit forced leaving ends loose that naturally come to mind. A big one is the female lead's father, who was not evil and made his deal out of desperation to help his wife, and yet he ends up in hell suffering eternal damnation. And the female lead expresses no concern or remorse over this inconvenient development. I was expecting something to tie this unfortunate circumstance up given all the other feel good endings we witness.

I appreciate the effort put into the kdrama My Demon!
I liked My Demon, it's my favorite kdrama and I would love to watch it again.I love the chemistry between the actors, the filming locations and the actions!🖤
From what I understand, people don't like it because it was "copied" from the kdrama Goblin. I didn't find it very similar, at least that's what I remember because I watched it when it was released.
From how many reviews who say they don't like it, I actually liked it and I love it. I appreciate the effort put in and the fact that some people appreciate it as well.
Best Kdrama My Demon!! 😍🔥

idylic/classic 'kdrama' twist on a demon, BUT IS IT WORTH WATCHING?
CLICHÉ but still ENJOYABLE....without spoilers , keep reading to see my thoughts as someone who loves fantastical characters like demons, angels, vampires etc.
its a story of dodo hee who gets entangled with a demon guwon. the suspense, twists and full of drama story of these two also wants to be a fractal or smaller depiction of good/evil in the world (in a figurative way). there are direct references to christianity ( i assume some producers rely on christian concepts while others on buddhism? ) that are very well done! others less ( the God references, but thats my personal opinion)
on top of all of this, we also get historical past lives and let me tell you, its one of the best ones done!! ( and i've seen many cliché impossible love stories with past lives issues!)
i like a drama that gives titles to its episodes that sets the mood and has a reliable main female lead that has room to grow too.
i did not enjoy all the secondary characters but i did understand their presences in a bigger picture. i was relieved to see the main actors 'own' their characters better and better as the show progressed!
its undeniable the main leads actors were really an almost perfect duo! age, traits and vibes, we could easily root for them! and i hope to see them again in other dramas!
now... the less enjoyable elements of this show...
this drama is fast paced, sometimes too much, tries to do too much, and dives too fast in the characters before we have the chance to actually connect with the characters. theres a lot of clichés/cheese too...
i honestly had a hard time connecting with the main leads until a few episodes in, not because of the actors, but the rushed events!
it felt really immature teen-style fantastical story at first, but the story holds itself just enough to see deeper things unfold!
its an almost idylic classic kdrama.... but is it worth watching??
if you like fantastical stories, definitely give it a chance!
i really appreciated the original parts and special scenes ( 3 words: CAKE, TANGO, JOURNAL) and i wished there was more creativity! i will remember it as a good show overall.

A good tiktok recommendation lol
Amazing drama! It was really easy to digest and made me really happy with some tears as well. I heard of this drama from tiktok when it was really popular and everyone was saying it was amazing which scared me because I watched a k-drama before suggested by tiktok and it was horrible. So i was very hesitant, but I ended up loving this drama, the main leads were also really cute and I loved this drama so much.Story :
The story was pretty interesting. A demon who randomly encountered a girl and goes throughs a sudden death, waking up with the demons powers, now they have to work together to solve a mystery of a death which could have been caused by murder. Honestly the plot was really well done. This is not a normal plotline but it worked out great. I love the way this drama shows plot twists and how some people can be very wicked to obtain the goal they want, and also how when people need help the most they turn to a spiritual figure which really shows people's true colors. What I didn't really like was the ending because it felt very rushed, like many dramas they drag the whole show by slow plots, slow burn romances and towards the end they pack everything together created a feeling of rushed. I hate when shows do this because it just makes the ending so unsatisfying. Like so much happened the last two episodes which was crazy when everything was going so well before. It doesn't make sense. All though this drama only had 16 episodes, which would be harder to not rush the plot, it could have done a better job of adding elements that happen at the end towards the middle.
CGI:
I dont know if k-dramas use CGI but I saw a lot in thi8s drama. It was really simple and not overdone. The cool animation when Gu-Won activates his power through Do-Hee was really smooth and cool. Nothing really much to say s I didnt focus on it that much because the producers made it look so clean and smooth.
Music :
The music was great! I love the OST. It's so calming but also packs a punch and it's really nice. The sounds when different event were happening was also really well used. Overall it was really good and made sense for this drama.
Acting:
The acting was really good by the cast. I love how the producers didn't make the female lead weak towards the end because she has a demon protecting her. She was really strong and didn't care and was independent which was really refreshing to see as normally dramas make the female lead weak once they get a man. Not in this case! The female lead was really pretty and did a great job in showing emotion and making the audience feel her pain as well. I cried. The male lead was also really good, he really played the cold but sweet trait really well. The main leads chemistry was so sweet, omg I cant. Also the assistant of Do-Hee and Gu-Won was even cuter. AHHHHHH made me feel so giddy. The other actors and actresses were also really good, especially the eldest son and his deranged attitude. Holy that man was crazy but he portrayed his character so well so props to the actors. Really well done in my opinion.
Ending:
The ending was decent. As I mentioned before, the ending felt very rushed and it felt like everything was moving so fast, which is one reason why this drama didn't get a 10. The ending was also a bit confusing. SPOILERS AHEAD!!!! Gu-Won dies because he brings Do-Hee back to life which is against the policy of being a demon but he does it anyway. DO-Hee is sad and wishes for him back, just to get him back then everything acts like it never changed. This drama lost me towards the end. But overall the ending was happy which is good otherwise I would lose my mind. LOL.
First time tiktok gave me a good suggestion! Overall I recommend you to watch. It;s not very long and it keeps you entertained for sure. Very funy too.

enjoyable to watch
the plot was good. I enjoyed the cast but the chemistry between the 2 main characters was lackluster occasionally. I did like them together. I did rewatch and it was okay to watch again. I enjoyed it and would recommend.Was this review helpful to you?
