Yisun’s and Wolsim’s episode 12 costume is the equivalent of a 16-episode sageuk. They obviously put a lot of thoughtinto it. (Half of the drama’s budget is probably allocated to costume design 🤣)
But it’s all worth it because every piece is exquisite!
I don’t think I have it in me to read one more comment calling Song Kang’s acting bad anywhere on social media.…
Could not agree more.
I picked up My Demon expecting nothing from Song Kang, (I’ve seen a couple of his previous dramas), and I went from doubting to believing. He deserves some superlatives as Guwon/Yisun. 🥰
So why did yisun run towards wolshim? He was already on his horse. Perhaps if he took his horse rather than sprint towards wolshim, he would have made it in time.
Just messing with you. 🤣
The Joseon scenes were pretty good. In fact, I want an entire episode (a prequel, if you will) just for Yisun and Wolshim's story.
Okay, I get some of the criticism of this show and I do think it can be better in some ways, especially in the…
I'm not a huge fan of WTS, to say the least, but I do agree that the criticism towards SHS is a little unfair. I feel that her character and its portrayal are mostly up to the writer and the director. I think she did her assignment, but a less-than-stellar plot and amateurish directing has put her in a difficult situation. I've seen her in Mr Queen and Hymn of Death, and she elevated every scene she was in.
The male leads' characterizations are unrealistic fantasy of imagination at best and at worst; a delusional take…
Could not have said it better, if I tried. And to your second point, putting one’s life on hold for someone you love, for that long, isn’t only unrealistic, it’s unhealthy. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Exactly, Shin Hye Sun is a phenomenal actress but the writing and directing sucks ass like wth is this plot
My theory is that the whole screenplay was written whilst the writer was hammered and heartbroken. It would explain the copious amounts of alcohol consumed in the drama and a paragon of virtue ML. 😛 I’m tempted to say the director is an amateur, but he has a few dramas already under his belt. Forecasting Love and Weather is one, and I quite enjoyed that.
I tried so hard to like WTS, as I have loved previous KDramas by both SHS and JCW, but as most people here seem to point out, the lead characters (not the actors) have made liking this show difficult. The more I watch, the less I enjoy it. Frustratingly so.
Crying can be cathartic, and in previous SHS dramas, she was fantastic. Her crying made scenes extra poignant. But in WTS she seems to be bursting into tears, just for the sake of it. Crying for the sake of crying doesn’t add anything to a scene.It's not, of course, SHS' fault. I blame a porous plot and terrible directing.
While I still think of JCW as the quintessential ML--charming, versatile, impervious to age-- his character, Yongpil, as most people have already pointed out, is unrealistic and one-dimensional. I don't think there's anything more to say on the subject.
But I do like the secondary characters, specifically Samdal's sisters. Ironically, their stories have become far more interesting than the lead characters. Please give them more airtime.
I wouldn’t say that WTS is bad per se, but it's not one I would remember fondly (as I do with previous JCW or SHS dramas). Imo, it sits somewhere between 'forgettable' and 'just ok'.
I will probably drop this for now and come back once it's finished... if only to find out how Samdal's sisters' stories conclude.
Is this show as good as you guys claim? I have the day off tomorrow and nothing to watch.
I had posted this earlier, but I thought it's a similar question so...
My Demon is a romcom, and it makes no pretense to be anything but. As romcoms go, the love story is, and by itself, the plot. It has elements of suspense, (slapstick) humor, supernatural, and is obviously heavy on the romance side. MD isn't the cerebral type, and it doesn't take itself too seriously. What you see on the trailer, is what you get: good old-fashioned romance.
Song Kang plays the titular "demon" but he is more mischievous than malevolent. He is also a revelation. He's a pretty face, but not just. I thought he's convincing as a charming, obnoxious, and conceited man-child. I would assert that romcom is his genre.
As a seasoned actor, MD is a walk-in-the-park for Yoojung. She has this enchanting quality about her that leaps off the screen. More interestingly, Yoojung's chemistry with her character, DoHeeis perhaps as intense as her chemistry with Song Kang. Speaking of chemistry, there's something about Song Kang and Yoojung that can hold an audience captive.
As expected, romcoms have moments of lull. But then again, it's not a Jack Ryan series, so you cannot expect it to be clever, suspenseful and action-packed through and through.
I wouldn’t look at the MDL rating as the sole basis for deciding whether MD is worth watching. And please, don't let the naysayers here fool you! (Some are just plain bitter while others crap all over themselves trying to sound perceptive.)
I will say this though: there is strength in numbers. Netflix views, tremendous traffic/buzz on social media, plus an overwhelming vote outcome, render credence to the leads' much talked-about chemistry. A billion Tiktok views, 3.6 million Netflix views last week, and over 10k comments on MDL add gravitas to the show's purported entertainment value.
But of course, I will leave it to you to decide for yourself. 🥰
Drama veterans is this one really good or is score high just for the cast?
Let me try an unbiased take. I hope it doesn't come across as either slobbery or embittered.

On a personal note: MD is steeped in clichés and corny dialog, but it's more amusing than annoying. (Afterall, some of the most memorable movie lines come from the most clichéd of romcoms.)
