I’m actually surprised that there’s very few mentions about the age gap in the comments…
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.
I do not like greattyme nc scenes, it was just soo awkward, bible face made me cringe soo bad and i felt nothing.…
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?
I'm not sure what happened with JJ. His acting in THC was fantastic, but in DFF and this show, it feels like his…
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.
I’m on ep 3 and don’t understand the negative reviews/complaints at all? This show still got me hooked, sure, I don’t care as much about all characters that are left from S1 but the story still keeps on giving imho. The world building keeps expanding (at times S1 felt just like an old PS game with those monsters casually trolling outside the building). Not sure how much we’ll see of Hyeon Su going forward but so far I don’t feel at all that he’s not one of the mains or that he’s not in the show at all. All through S1 the show didn’t always focus solely on him, it kept jumping around between the cast as much as at it does in S2 (so far at least). TLDR; So far so good 😊
Not a fan of the CGI monsters (personal preference) but otherwise the show is really good at its core, fast paced since there’s quite a few characters to follow - characters with good fleshed out backstories. It kept me hooked all the way throughout. Would’ve liked more insight into Hyeon Su’s mind and how he deals with the monster/curse. Didn’t mind the OST (that warriors song) kinda miss it in S2 actually.
