my demon - more like my goblin, my edward cullen, my succession
when you cast kim yoo jung and song kang, you hope to have a script to do them justice.on paper, the story of a contract marriage between the devil and an heiress, sounds amazing. in this drama however, the story was lost so much, that it was held together only by song kang and kim yoo jung's chemistry. and good outfits!
the murder plot, succession plot, business plot, etc. was so stupid that you can FF through all of it. the character arcs are mostly nonexistent. the story is a pure copy paste of goblin episodes 14-16 forward.
i've seen worse and am happy that the writer managed to put her 2 brain cells together to pull together somewhat of a happy ending, but GOD. you need better scripts @ recent kdramas! casting pretty leads is just not enough!!!

a makjang trying to masquerade as a prestige piece
what a silly drama. the politics are un-serious to begin with; the USA would never gaf about what a south korean ambassador is doing with her personal life. like, i'm sorry, but they'd have attacked everyone in episode 1 if this was a serious thing.the romance, while pretty, makes zero narrative sense. in fact, munju and her husband have a more intriguing story and the romance with sanho cuts through that emotional arc between them. the rest of the plots - family secrets, hidden lovers, hidden kids, annoying in-laws, is KBS weekend drama content! not something you expect from such a high budget and cast. and every bit of footage of that submarine made me want to crack up it was so ridiculous.
jun ji hyun carries the drama however. kang dong won is the second lead here to her story. she shines and is breathtaking. in a different drama, i'd have loved their relationship, but here......it all felt random.
