loved it
This was good from start to finish. I do wish we could've got a kid or two runningaround but they did a fantastic job. Everything was great from the acting right
down to the wardrobe. The entire cast was great, even though the second
female lead character as well as the second male lead worked my nerve for
most of the show the actress/actor played their roles well. This is a show
that I will definitely watch again from time to time. I'd watch the male lead in anything though.

seriously lacks
The next paragraph completely spoils this entire series. stop reading now If you haven't finished.It's entire series is killed by the penultimate episode. The main villain is pinned with over several thousands of pounds of concrete but in the span of 15 seconds despite literally on the verge of being crushed to death he's able to completely unpin himself, find a shotgun, and shoot the FL... Of all the things I've ever seen in a k-drama this is the thing that makes the least sense of anything I've ever seen.
It completely ruined the entire series and any enjoyment I got out of it. There's still over an hour left of this series and I don't want to watch it now because of the god awfully bad writing that I just witnessed.
you'll miss absolutely nothing if you skip this series, and frankly it's simply not worth it.

My Demon is everything i WANT and LOVE in a drama!!!
After more than 2 decades of watching dramas ( esp. Kdrama) this is the first and only drama that i haven't skipped even a second, for real.I watched, tried all different genres out there, and i can sometimes finish 5 or more dramas(i skipped a lot) per day, and dropped a lot as well. But this one caught my attention and has a very special place in my heart (moving on from My Demon is the hardest yet).
Why i love My Demon???
** funny, light hearted, beautiful OST, and the parallels in the story..just wow
**Happy couple ( every sweet scenes in the story made sense)
**Chemistry is the best i've ever seen and you'll fall inlove with their BTS.
** pure, selfless, and sweet love between ML & FL ( past life story is necessary here, and it was Beautiful, trust me).
**their love story is beautiful yet tragic ( i'm soft for #DoWon)
**you'll feel diff emo in each episode, i think i'm a bit crazy now..lol
** the episode endings are chef's kiss, first time i'm inlove with endings.
**both rich and gorgeous leads, gosh...i watched hundreds of dramas if not a thousand, this one is my top visual couple.
**i never thought of Song Kang can be so adorably cute here, i mean he's "PERFECT" for this role.
**Kim Yoo Jung always slay ( she cry, i cry harder) , i can feel her pain and always beautiful.
**Da*g, their fits here are incredibly beautiful, most fashionable couple ever.
**i like it that the Demon itself is seriously unserious here ( he's more like a puppy..haha)
**cinematography is amazing, i'm in love
**i love the comedy here, esp The Demon and his minions..haha
**it was the highlight of my 2023 and a good welcome of my 2024.
** it's highly addictive, now i cannot watch any other drama after this, i'm seriously in my My Demon Loop. Rewatching this everyday just to calm myself.
** the best thing this drama did was, my husband watching it with me and he loved it. It's our first kdrama together and our weekly kdrama date. So this drama is really special in my heart, moving on from this is hard and i dunno when.
**this drama made me the happiest these past few months, really happy and excited. I'm obsessed with it, beyond i guess. I love it so much that it hurts when it ends. I cried and now i feel something is missing.
** have a happy day everyone, spread love, positivity and enjoy watching.

Not worth it unless you're bored
This drama starts pretty well. The story is not very original, it's one of those classic 'damsel in distress' plot with a touch of fantasy. Nothing wrong with that.My problem is with the main's character lines... It's like writer's believed that Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang physical appearance's where enough to fill the plot. Instead of exploring the relationship on a deeper level, we're sitting through several minutes of empty stares, futile discussions or Jeong Gu-won changing outfits like it's a fashion show. Don't get me wrong, I like playful scenes but this was painful to finish. Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang may not be the greatest actors but this was an absolute disservice to their career (even though the ratings will say otherwise), specially Song Kang who already struggles with facial expression.
I wanted to stop after episode 10 but I pushed through. I do not recommend unless you have nothing else to do.

PERFECT
I don’t really know where to start. This drama just ended having me bawling my eyes out and smiling like crazy.I’m going to be honest I didn’t think I was going to like it at first. A story line that isn’t really my kinda thing. But when I saw Song Kang it made hope for it being an good series. And oh my it was.
The casting is just chef kiss, is really a cast that I want to see again. They all were so amazing.
The whole series got me laughing and smiling like crazy. I didn’t like think Song Kang would fit this kinda series but with his acting is just a big YES. He played so well and made Guwons character so great. Such a funny and serious character at the same time I loved it. But this series also made my eyes hurt from bawling. Youjung is such an amazing actress and you could really feel all her emotions from the start to the end.
The chemistry between the two were amazing.
Not just the romantic side of this drama we’re amazing but the dark side. Such a dark side of a romantic series. But I really liked it having one, it made it become more interesting.
And like I really thought about SangYi character being evil? But he weren’t.. I really had like a theory that he were but I’m legit happy he wasn’t. Maybe he wasn’t my favourite.
Overall it was a really good series. A lil bit of everything. Such a good drama and 100% worth the watch!

Disappointing
Another series that is disappointing and stupid especially in the last few eps.I was enjoying the show for the most part b/c the story was interesting to me. It's not my typical genre, but I thought the synopsis was good. The series ended up being nothing like I thought the synopsis would be. What I wanted was a love story between a demon and human but what I got was a story about bickering chaebols; one of which was extremely awful who brutalized ***********. Also, got some past life story that was completely unnecessary.
What I did like was the cast; Very good and I like Kim You Jung and this was my first series with Song Kang. I like him in this plus anyone who reads my reviews know pretty boys are my jam. I thought he and the FL looked great togther. I loved the character of Ms. Shin. Actress Seo Jung Yeon nailed the role as FL secretary.
The only character I sympathized with was Noh Do Kyung. The character broke my heart. Actor Kang Seung Ho was brilliant as someone slowly losing his mind and being tormented by someone who should have loved him.
3/4/24

Stellar Cast and Visuals Can't Rescue an Inconsistent Plot
Firstly I want to start off with positive remarks about the drama that I think are praiseworthy:- Casting: In my opinion, each actor and actress perfectly executed their given roles - especially the main lead. Honestly, I didn't think Song Kang and Kim Yoojung's pair would have such a good chemistry, but seeing their both on and off-camera interactions proved me wrong.
- Visual effects: They made the series more visually pleasing to watch. And I loved the blue-ish hues that was present in most of the scenes.
Now let's talk about the plot of the drama that was the main downside of the whole series.
- The main thing that I hate about this and many other kdramas that's been released in the past few years is the inconsistency of the plot. They start off great. You'll think it's going to be the best drama you've ever watched, but when you reach the middle of it you'll realize that you've been completely mistaken about it.
By the trailer of the series, I've expected it to have arranged marriage as a main trope (and maybe if they sticked to it, the drama might have been much more successful? idk). But the whole hired killer to crime mystery plot ruined everything. The way writer kept traumatising Dohee with all of the 'almost been killed' events - couldn't they think of something else? (I understand that it's just fiction but still)
- The plot with No Sumin being the person behind all of the murder attempts also feels strange. I feel like it would have been better if it was someone like Ju Seokhoon who seemed all innocent but ended up having reasonable intentions to kill both Madam Ju and Do Dohee.
- And I agree that the plot just felt like a recycled version of older legendary kdrama plots (like Goblin, Doom at your service, Strong woman Do Bongsoon and etc).
Overall, I think My Demon is a good kdrama option to watch when you feel stressed and just want something to entertain yourself

OVERHYPED but was Predictable
this might make me sound like a hater but this was really just a GOBLIN/TALE OF NINE TAILED knockoff , similar storyline with the same execution , for the way everyone has been hyping this drama i thought it waa gonna be SHOWSTOPPER , like it was gonna be something I've never seen before but boy was i wrong , dont get me wrong the casting was PHENOMENAL but that was it , thier relationship carried the entire drama with plot lines we've seen been don't over 100 times already but if you're into this TO EACH THEIR OWNWas this review helpful to you?
Falls apart by the end
As this was one of the first K-dramas I ever watched, the sense of novelty kept me interested for longer than I would have been had I watched this drama at a later time. The set up is definetly interesting for both the characters and the plot but it seems as if the writers completely lost it and where just winging it by the end.Personally I wouldn't accuse either Kim You Jung or Song Kang of being strong actors, so their 'chemistry' to me just read as two attractive people trying to act that they're falling in love. Slow-mo shots, accidental touching and closed proximity is a natural part of a rom-com, but when that is all you can offer in the 'chemistry' department it feels extremelly superficial.
Of course, every drama won’t suit everyone’s taste, but for those who like genuine emotional depth over glossy aesthetics and trope heavy romance, this one might fall short.

I could not avoid this one
"My Demon" is a drama i saw headlines of everywhere i went on the internet and my social circle,LOL. Everyone had great stuff to show and tell me about it so i was like, why the hell not? It was a exciting start and kept me on toes, this magical tale of a demon who makes a deal with a human. I felt the magic, darkness, enchantment and the romance in the air between the main-leads, reincarnated lovers and soulmates Do do-he & Jung Koo Won. Their exceptional love-story is the centre of it all in this epic tale where our demon becomes Do he`s savior in all the ways she never expected and she manages to stir feelings inside of him he thought he never could possibly feel. Jung Koo Won is a charming devil...witty, arrogant, dedicated, charismatic. And he thinks all humans are insignificant creatures...well except for when he meets Do-he,lol. I love this drama, its been so long since i watched a k-drama i really enjoyed like this one. It has one of the most stunning on-screen couple i have ever seen as well. This one gave me goosebumps, made me cry,smile and laugh and swoon with the magic and thrill of what was My Demon!Was this review helpful to you?

As boring as watching paint dry
As the saying goes: "Expectations are the root of disappointment."Despite the promising casts, this drama fell short of expectations, leaving me thoroughly disappointed. While it had an intriguing start, the narrative took a nosedive as it progressed. The perplexity of Dohee's decision to give up the fight for the company remains inexplicable to me. With a demon as her companion, what could possibly induce fear in her? :[
The narrative, midway through, hinted at potential plot twists surrounding the villains, aiming to engage the audience's imagination. However, this attempt at complexity fell flat once again, failing to deliver the anticipated twists and leaving the audience with unfulfilled expectations.
And... The final episodes added little novelty to the narrative, presenting a familiar plot that lacked originality. The forced happy ending for the couple felt like a repetitive trope. Truly a wasted potential. I feel bad for the casts.

My Demon Is A Very Cute And Enjoyable Ride
Hello, this is my first review! Hope I can express myself well and do some justice to this drama.When I first heard of My Demon, I was looking forward to it not only because I found the premise interesting, but mostly because of Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung. After finishing it, I think that although generic and cliché, the drama did not disappoint to deliver according to my expectations.
— STORY
I watched it weekly so that might've helped me go through the drama without any issues like getting boring or feel like it was slowing down. I'm thankful for that because I'm not sure I would've felt the same if I had binged.
Although I enjoyed the drama, the plot wasn't anything new or even great for that matter.
I really enjoyed the series as a whole and only had an issue with one episode. The flow of it felt odd, felt a little rushed and unnatural. I remember it being the only time the music also did not hit properly, not to mention the end of the episode which felt cheap and forced. I won't go into more details as to not ruin expectations.
— CHARACTERS
This is the best part of the drama, by far! I mean specifically Do Do Hee and Gu Won. Their chemistry and characters were so much better than I had ever imagined, they're so sweet together!
Gu Won is such a great and charismatic character. His demeanor and presence were fitting of a Demon! He knows how to be serious when it needs to and how to be hilarious when needed too.
Do Do Hee is extremely charming and mature. I love how she went about handling the issues, and Gu Won. Kim Yoo Jung is not only one of the most beautiful actresses, but one of the most talented as well. Her acting in times of suffering and in times of joy were phenomenal.
Every time Gu Won called her name while looking like a happy puppy, my heart would melt. The way they both looked at each other was everything. Do Do Hee's smile could lit up an entire city block!
About the other characters, I think they fulfilled their part well but it wasn't anything great or worth mentioning.
— VISUALS
From the shots, to the outfits, to the CGI, I believe everything was the best it could be. Everything and everyone looked so beautiful. I have nothing major to complain about and I have not noticed anything that was too off-putting either. Just some odd CGI effects here and there.
— MUSIC
The music was one of the best parts of the show, alongside Gu Won and Do Do Hee. They played the right songs at the right moments (most of the time) and they perfectly helped build emotion as they should. Not only they were beautiful but also very memorable. The opening song is iconic, it's not something you can easily get out of your head or stop yourself from singing it. It's fantastic!
— RATING
My Demon is not perfect or a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable if you know what you want and don't mind some clichés. If you want to have fun and swoon over an extremely adorable couple, this is for you!
It didn't make me absolutely bawl my eyes out like other dramas, but I did get emotional at the right times and that's all I can ask for a good drama. I think the strong part was how happy and in awe I was by watching Gu Won and Do Do Hee together. They're perfect!
My overall personal rating for the show is a 9.4/10.
