Lol, I’m single too and I’ve been enjoying this show sooo much! They actually explain later what the FL wanted to do/say to the ML before she jumped into that “fake” kiss because they were being watched. Also, I don’t see the ML as some innocent virgin, he reads more as reserved and collected with this stuff? I find him quite straightforward with his intentions once he knows that the feeling are reciprocated - without acting like a blushing virgin or whatnot. Also, keep in mind that he’s supposed to be younger, some insecurity might come into play from that as well, despite any experience he might or might not have. The way I see it, the ML simply accepts the FL for who she is, with all of her good and bad traits, and creates a safe space around her so that she can be her unhinged self. He doesn’t need to be extreme too, although he does happily tag along with her antics all the time 😌

And about the FL being progressive… I personally find this bit underwhelming. The show itself is trying to be progressive by bringing in topics such as poly and open relationships, found family, abortion, smutty novels and adult toys etc, but the FL is just any other career woman out there in my eyes - that’s nothing new. But it is refreshing to see a female being the active character and not the guy.

With that said, liking or disliking a show is truly a personal preference :)

It’s nice how they play with romcom tropes but then bring the story around into something more realistic. I really thought we would get an angsty time skip in this episode but then they make the characters act like real people instead 🫶 however, I’m truly tired of the mommy issues trope with guys, it’s getting old 😩 mostly because I’m worried Ji-uk will leave to to be with his mom in the last episode - considering the ending of ep 11.

This was cute, pretty light despite a few darker/angsty episodes.

I love this, it’s so cute, even with all the issues. For once happy that the ML is not some arrogant CEO. This role fits KYD surprisingly well.

The elevator-like background music and lack of dialog throws me off somewhat 🤔 but will wait a few more episode before judging too much 🥲

Agree :)

Yeah, it’s been annoying me somewhat too, but I think it’s because they’re trying to cover his facial hair/five o’clock shadow with an orangey shade to make him look younger - it’s usually just the lower half of his face that’s cakey.

That Kenji character was sure a choice…

I usually don’t care much either if it’s done tastefully, but for some reason each time they said words of everlasting promises to each other, living together and whatnot, my mind kept screeching “he’s only seventeen!!”. I think the problem for me here, is that Rui didn’t even try to act as a responsible adult.

Thanks 🙂

Still, much better than Frank’s wigs 🤣 (if you watch Thai BLs)

I’m actually surprised that there’s very few mentions about the age gap in the comments…

The second couple snatched the spotlight.

Better than the whole series.

Also, how old is Sea supposed to be? 🤔

I can’t, the wig in episode one 🫠

The story is pretty simple, but it hits where it matters. Has a bit of a nostalgia vibe.

Yeah, gotta side with you on this one. Kept wondering what Great’s purpose in all of this was while they undressed, giggled and stuff. What’s his motivation to do anything at all? What are the stakes for him personally?

Was just on my way to comment that I find Win as a character sort of creepy for some reason, there’s something about the way he holds himself, how he stands & moves slowly…. So it was interesting see your comment/this thread as well.

I must say, even though I find the writing and the plot in My Demon lacking and lazy, especially the second half, I wouldn’t say that the actors are just pretty faces. Kim Yoo Jung is a child actress, with many years of experience, while I do think the slightly aloof/cringy role in My Demon didn’t quite fit her vibe I wouldn’t reduce her just to her looks.

Same with Song Kang, his character is quite silly in My Demon and it might seem that he’s not putting in any effort in his acting, but having seen him in Sweet Home and in some interviews/bts clips where the difference between his individual personality and the character(s) he plays is rather obvious, kind of shows his range - besides, comical timing isn’t appreciated enough.

Unfortunately, if the writing IS lacking, there’s so much the actors can do to save it.

However, not sure if it was fair that they won an award while the show was still airing, that’s a little meh.
