Let me break this down for you. You passive-aggressively said my judgement is crude, that I give myself airs, that I'm juvenile, that my opinion is "huffing and puffing", that I can't comprehend basic english... then you tried to gaslight me, by saying that me thinking you're insulting me is just projection on my part.... then you reiterated once again that I don't understand basic english, and said I'm going off the rails.
Now can you tell me where I have personally insulted YOU?
>"Many people saw it and loved /liked it. Only few people here who don’t like it and it’s Normal but when u go to extreme lengths to keep talking about how much u hate it it’s creepy"
What about when someone goes to extreme lengths to keep talking about how much they liked it? Is that also creepy?
when it gives you the error message, copy your post text so you don't lose it, and then refresh the page to check. It pretty much always posts even if it says it didn't.

You have zero sense of humor when somebody not agreeing with you upsets you personally.... and then immediately go for the namecalling and personal insults.... all righty then. Good to know what a great crowd My Demon fans are.
I don't remember so bad writing in a kdrama. Some scenes of first episodes give me proof the writer could do good,…
Maybe she'll improve with practice, but just look at Gu Hye Seon... people were lenient on her for her stinky BoF performance because she was a noob at the time, but as it turns out, no amount of practice was enough to make her a good actress OR a good producer. So idk.
All right imma stop talking til I've actually finished the thing. Despite the fact that I know where this is going, I'll pretend I'm naive and give it an honest shot.
Ep 4, here we go.... pray for me b/c when I start something by god i finish it.
this drama was not meant to be serious and all. it's a rom - com fantasy ish kinda drama so I don't see why people…
I'm judging it based on it's lack of creativity and screenwriting skills, not it's lack of darkness or seriousness. I gave CLOY and Hidden Love 9.5's. Neither is dark or serious. It's kind of hard to relax while watching something light when the drama is insulting the viewer's intelligence at the same time.
Why did people expect more?
This is a deep and pertinent question, and if you don't understand it then if I were you I would meditate on it until enlightenment is achieved.

The "Reveal" in a monster/vamp story is the moment when the FL realizes the ML is supernatural. Sometimes the Reveal isn't even him telling her, it is sometimes her discovering it by accident. Like if an FL sees her ML man change into a werewolf while he thinks she's somewhere else.... that's a Reveal too.
But if you want to count the pink-water scene as the reveal, then it STILL sucks, because it's broken up into end of E1 and beginning of E2, and as soon as she finds out she conveniently gets amnesia??? Come ON.
A child could have written it better. Any of us could have written it better. You could have written it better.

lol yes!!! exactly omg!!!
And the ML: Could somebody on the set have taken a step back and said "Y'know what... let's NOT make the Devil dress in mom jeans and shoulder pads. Just sayin."
I would have cast Choi Jin Hyuk and put him in black leather pants and a tight t-shirt and given him a really cool lookin badass demon tattoo on his upper back/neck or upper arm. This guy just has a little sad scrappy lookin cross on his delicate inner wrist.
Wow I'm overwhelmed with the manliness ML is exuding here... /s
Many will disagree, but for me these recent Kdramas starts with banger than by the end disappoint with draggy…
K-romaces have been in a slump for a few years now, and the chinese right now are kicking their asses in brutal fashion. They need to stop focusing on production so much, and start focusing on creative storylines and better scriptwriting. Without a good story and a good script, all the rest is just a waste of effort. And the chinese have proven beyond any doubt that if you have a good story and a good script, even if the production is sort of a cheap hot mess people will still love it.
Also, k-romances have stopped risk-taking lately. Whereas the chinese are still making dramas that take a gamble with batshit crazy ideas. And it's been paying off for them. SoKP was one of the best dramas I've ever seen so far, and their budget wasn't really huge. TTETOM with it's plot, would never have been made in korea because it's "too crazy" of a concept. Hidden Love was crazy because it was a crazily simple idea with NO gimmicks.
Korean producers need to stop and rethink the direction they've been going in where they are sacrificing substance for $$$. If they're going to make crap, at least it could be good cheap crap that's entertaining and crazy like BoF or What Happened in Bali or My Heart Twinkle Twinkle or Que Sera Sera. And if they're going to make a sexy drama, then just go for it and go all-out and stop worrying about 'playing it safe'.
If he's going to be the devil, then make him THE DEVIL, not some mediocre bratty version wearing jeans with a simp for a butler.... what even is this?!? Aigoo.

I'm on episode 2 right now... and as a lover of the vampire/monster romance genre, I can tell you that in a monster romance, the "Reveal" of the monster to the FL is EVERYTHING. It SHOULD be one of the most emotionally powerful scenes in the story.
In this drama, he blocks an acid attack on her and shields her with his back. He holds her wrist to heal, and she gets totally amazed.
No. nononono.... for starters, if someone shielded you from an acid attack for real, you'd be flipping out like "omg are you ok, I'll call an ambulance!" And secondly.... the acid hits his BACK, how is she supposed to see his body heal??? But apparently she does. Then she becomes amazed and asks "what are you" and he says "I'm a demon. You humans call me the devil."
Not only is this a completely underwhelming "Reveal" moment, but it's actually broken up into the end of ep2 and the beginning of ep3. They can't even make it all one continuous moment for the viewer.
I wish there was a way to adequately express what a HUGE cop-out this is on the part of the writers. When you're writing monster/vamp romances, a LOT of creativity goes into how you will write the Reveal moment in your story. Here, it is bungled so badly I'm kind of in awe over it.
And the dialogue there.... "I'm a demon.... y'all call me the devil." Like how can you have the sheer BALLS to write that crap in current year. At this point since TTEOTM happened, your ML better not literally be the devil for the next several years unless you have a damn good story to back it up.
The more I think about it the more I just cant eve
What I want her to do next is that she plays a scary creature, a demon or a gumiho or a werewolf. She's been so…
Maybe FL is a sliiiightly feral gumiho. She happens upon the hottest man she's ever seen in her life.... the guy is a {part time family convenience store worker and part time tae kwon do instructor for little kids} or {real estate developer} or {cookbook author} or {chiropractor}.... she stalks him and waits till he's packing up his tent, and sneaks onto the back of his truck, unknowingly taking her home with him. Hijinks ensue.' or maybe FL is a vampire who lives peacefully among humans in Joseon era... until ML comes along and figures out what she is. Her cover is blown, and she has to convince him to not tell anyone about her. ML could be like a royal family member. Or he could be a guy who runs a hotel or an illegal gambling operation or he could be a blacksmith. or maybe As a child, FL was disastrously struck by lightning, and she survived but her whole house and family burnt down, and she was raised by foxes/gumiho/bears/cats/ghosts/fairies, but as a side effect of the lightning strike she gets these weird spells that come over her and she acts different and turns into some crazy wild creature and you never know what she's going to do next. ML is the only doctor in a remote village, and runs across her in the woods one night. Since he's a doctor, he wouldn't be able to sit there and let it go if he saw her run into the woods alone at night. or maybe FL is the child of the queen's hanbok tailor. When she is very young, her grandfather dies in front of her. As he is taking his last breath, he clutches at her, and passes on a demonic curse he had been living with... that every full moon he turns into a crazed creature. FL has been living with the curse all through adolescence. ML and FL had their marriage arranged by their parents since childhood, and neither the ML or the FL wanted the marriage at all. (ML could be the son of the King's swordsmith or like the son of an army general or son of the head of the King's private guards or something). One day, ML accidentally finds out about the curse. He starts becoming emotionally invested in her and really care about her. Eventually they work together to lift the curse and end up falling for eachother in the process.

I think what's worse is the diets some of those k-pop idols have to be on, i saw a VIXX behind-the-scenes thing,…
that is so shocking, i had no idea they're even sleep depped on top of everything else.... they just run those poor kids right into the ground. Reminds me of how ballet dancers train. They're run really hard, eat barely anything... and by the time they're 55, they look 70 and their hips and feet are all messed up and their health is shot and their bodies are frail. Horrible.

No you can't because I didn't.
This makes what you're doing bullying.
