Seems like the story is written by chatgpt
As we all know AI can't make something creatively original, it picks up different things mashes them together and gives out "art" whether it's pictures or writings. This drama feels like that. It's just a mashup of other popular fantasy dramas and even then it suffers from many plot holes. Add to this the laughably bad acting of the male lead in comedic scenes.This drama has everything;
Bad story
Plot holes
Bad casting
Bad acting
Cringy comedy
The only good things about this drama are the music and the visual production.
It would've been a bit better if they had made the demon character a little more serious because Song Kang is good at play serious roles.

Go for it
Intrigued by the devil's role and the mysterious 10-year contract, I find myself pondering the depth of the story as it unfolds. The twist involving the transfer of powers to the girl and the unexpected love story adds a captivating layer, leaving me eager to unravel the hidden secrets from their past lives and witness the fulfillment of their love journey, hoping for a heartwarming conclusion that extends into a beautiful family portrait. The resonating melody after each episode perfectly complements the emotional connection established in the ending scenes.Was this review helpful to you?
Overhyped
The plot was pretty boring and terrible. I got bored many times in the drama but decided to push through to see if the writer(s) would redeem themselves. I feel like they started focusing on romance rather than the plot (which seemed like an afterthought). Everything was predictable. Somewhat boring because all the villains were revealed in the first four episodes. I did enjoy the ost though (the music was the best part of the whole show). Nothing new or revolutionary (boring and unoriginal). Maybe would watch if you’re extremely bored.Was this review helpful to you?

Song Kang, please make a deal with me
I decided to write reviews based on my feelings only so do not expect any deep thoughts from me. I am no critic. I watch stuff cause I need an escape from my everyday life. So far I have the opinion that if you signed SongKang in a drama, I am going to love it. I don't know what kind of spell he cast over me but I enjoy everything he does. I always love a plot where there really is not the typical heroic good guy. I love bad guys, so when I read that this was going to be about demon making deals with people I was sold. The cast overall was amazing, the story captured me till the end. I absolutelly love the , true’ song and is living rent-free in my mind now. I fell for Kang Seung Ho and how he portrayed Noh Do Kyung. His storyline was the best for me and it broke my heart a little at the end. Definitely gonna watch it again sometime in future.

Stunning Visuals and Perfect Blend of Comedy and Romance
My Demon is an amazing show that really impressed me. The performances by Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung were outstanding. They brought their characters to life in a way that was really believable and engaging. Their acting was a big part of what made the show so good. Another thing that stood out to me were the visuals. The show looked beautiful, with really stunning scenes and special effects. It was clear that a lot of effort went into making the show look as good as it does.The balance of comedy and romance was perfect. The funny moments were really well done, and they made me laugh without taking away from the story. The romantic parts were sweet and heartwarming, adding a nice depth to the show. The way the show mixed these two elements together made it really enjoyable to watch. It's a great show if you like a mix of laughter and love, and it's also just a visually stunning series to watch.

A Romcom worth the while
Firstly I would like to say that all the cast members did a great job in their respective roles. To me, no one felt lacking in any way.Song Kang seems to be the perfect fit for the role. The charisma needed to be shown by the character Gu Won was perfectly depicted by him. His acting seemed great and emotions could be felt to the audience. Looking at him playing the character was really a delight.
Kim Yoo Jung proved how experienced actor she is. Couldn't have had a better female lead to accompany Song Kang. Do Hee's character was perfectly played by Kim Yoo Jung. All emotions she portrayed could be felt by heart.
Starting my review from the first 4 episodes: I was personally hooked on to the show from the first episode, the encounters between the leads and the later tragedies were perfectly fit in the episodes. The plot was made perfectly understandable from the start and the episodes and their storyline always made me want to know more about the story. All characters were shown in these starting episodes and had some screen time to each of them. The episodes had great comic lines and equal amount of other things going around to make the audience hooked upon the show. Most important thing that dramas should have is the power to keep the audience engaged in the starting episodes and this drama hit that note well.
Episodes 4-8: The main plot started to take place here. All the conspiracy in the drama can be seen unfolding in these episodes in the perfect pace. Each episode ending was made so perfect that would keep you on your toes for the whole week waiting for the next episodes. Gu Won characters develops quite a bit in this stage and shows different emotions in him. Both leads share a great chemistry in this part especially the comic timings in these episodes. Focus also starts mainly to finding the culprit and keeping Do Hee safe. The scenes were always some what predictable but the way they were shown and portrayed by the characters was what made a difference.
Episodes 8-12: The chemistry between the leads is best shown in this part. A perfect honeymoon phase starts that everyone would love to watch. The leads slowly get closer to finding the culprits step by step. Some parts of the past also start unfolding which makes the story interesting making one wonder how Gu Won ended up like this. Many questions remain unanswered during these episodes but the way the main leads carry the story was just great.
Episodes 12-16: The climax part of the drama was expected yet was able to bring some unexpected twists. All questions are answered well in these episodes. Unlike some dramas where everything is hurried up in the last episode, this drama did it well in maintaining an appropriate pace in unfolding the story. Nothing felt too fast or slow. The last episode will also leave one satisfied since nothing was left to be completed at the very end. All moments that a viewer would want are shown.
There were scenes in every episode that felt heart touching, gave you a smile and kept you wondering.
Madam Ju had a good impact till the end of the story even though one might feel in the early parts of the drama that she had less screen time.
Noh Suk Min was as expected and one could predict everything about him yet his portrayal kept me engaged.
Seok Hoon showed clear feelings since the start yet he was not predictable and one would question his intentions till quite some time throughout the drama. It was good to see his character was never made over clingy or interfering and was just perfect as a supporting person. His comic scenes with Gu Won were quite enjoyable.
Ga Young might have seemed a bit irritable at first but to be honest till the end she become a great person. Even her actions in the first half of the show were understandable after watching the whole show. Ga Young actually was a very determined person and I personally loved her character.
Do Hee's secretary and Park Bok Gyu were a gem considering the amount of laughter they gave to the audience. Their scenes with each other and their respective superiors were very cute and funny. Both showed equal love for their superiors. Bok Gyu's back story was quite some fun to watch. Both these characters played and important role in helping the main leads throughout their whole journey.
All office characters were prefect and a joy to watch. I could easily watch more of them on screen.
Do Hee's family had many issues yet their roles were portrayed well. Knowing more about them would have made the audience connect more to them, although I have no complains since the characters which got more screen time were actually the ones that should've been given in the first place.
The production of the drama seems great. The scenes and scenery shown are beautiful. Some scenes were edited so perfect that you would fall in love with the scene. The water scene on the small rocky beach type area was just perfect and I could've kept watching it.
The OST was just perfect. Can't get enough of 'Our night is more beautiful than day'. One of the best OST's of 2023 for me. The background music be it in the fight scenes or romantic scenes was on point and enhanced the beauty of the scenes.
In some parts it did feel like they are taking some time to show the obvious and felt that there could be some more story added to the show. Last episode might feel like a filler episode with cute scenes. The story was predictable at many points which made the cast the biggest reason to be hooked on to the show. The back story was shown twice at a point in the show which dragged an episode. Some characters could have been explained better.
I can honestly not find many shortcomings since I really liked the show although I do know it wasn't a perfect 10. Overall I would highly recommend it people who love to watch a cute bubbly romcom with a mystery storyline.
P.S. Feel free to tag me or message me if you want spoilers as I tend to avoid giving spoilers in my reviews.

When Sacrifice is the Tie that Binds
This is a very cinematic drama. It has the thrill, romance, comedy and heartache all in one. The ML and FLs chemistry was palpable and enchanting. The second couple was amusing and capable within their roles. The villians almost brought a 'Friday the 13th' vibe to the series. Yet the pace and tension of it all kept you wanting more. It was refreshing to see both of these leads with a good script 'finally' with great delivery. The tenderness within this series was just right. The OST was perfect in capturing key moments. The concept has been done before.... Nevertheless, this was worth the ride and a must watch. Well Done, Song Kang, Kim Yoo Jung, Production, Cast and Crew!Was this review helpful to you?

Good fantasy romance with electrifying chemistry between leads .
My review will be a comprise of what I liked the most and the least about My Demon:✅️ As a fantasy enthusiast, I loved the fantasy aspect in this drama. A demon who really use his superpower even it is just for small things like switch on the lamp or help in housekeeping lol.
☑️ I enjoyed most part of the storyline especially in the first half. The first 10 episodes was interesting and addicting enough to me. But things got draggy from episode 11 - 13 I started to skip alot especially side character's story . At this point , I find myself didn't care at all about the secretaries love story & Jin Ga Young plot line. The main couple scenes also became too cheesy for me to digest haha. Thankfully things started to get better when the angst part came again in episode 14 till the end. Those last 3 episodes were a total tearjerker to me .
☑️ Average villain plot line .Nothing you have not seen before in a crime and family feud based drama.
✅️ The chemistry between Kim Yoo Jung -Song Kang was sooo lit! The eye contacts, skinships, how comfortable they acted around each other, all the jokes and teases ... Like they're really in love with each other. I'm not surprise if later we get a dating news of them haha.
✅️ Acting from all cast were good. I've first known Kim Yoo Jung as a child actor in Dong Yi . I liked her acting in that drama then I watched her in Moon Embracing the Sun , May Queen , Angry Mom & Love in the Moonlight. Watching her here made me think my girl has grown up , how fast time flies . Now she's eligible to get her own bedroom scene too lol. Anyway I enjoyed her acting all the same here. I could feel all her agony, sadness and her crying scenes made me cried with her too . Her young age & youthly visual to play a 28 years old Do Do Hee does not bother me much here because her great acting concealed if not all most of it. About Song Kang ,this was my second drama of him after Sweet Home. He didn't impressed me in that drama but I quite enjoyed his acting here. He did a good job in potraying a playful,cheeky and self-absorbed demon but very protective of a girl he likes. His great visual did help compensating what fell short from his acting lol.
✅️ Great OST. My favourites : True -YOARI and Say You Love Me - Sam Kim.
⭕️ My ratings for episode 1 -10 & 14-16 = 9/10 and episode 11 -13 =5/10.My final rating = 8.5/10.
I'll end my review with my favourite quote from the drama , " You humans love to blame fate for everything. But, fate is nothing more than a web woven by a myriad of choices of your making. " - Lady Beggar .
