Enjoyable but very forgettable.
I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed this k-drama, but I think its biggest problem is that it's very forgettable.On one hand, the chemistry between our two main characters is good and it shows on screen. This show certainly doesn't let Song Kang's physical attributes down lol.
However, what I probably didn't like much was the plot, which in itself is not very innovative in the fantasy genre, it takes us back to past lives again, and reminded me a lot of Doom at your service and Destined With You and so many other kdramas, almost as if all of the fantasy Korean dramas had a child. For that reason, I think this show is easily forgettable.
Although I repeat, I'm not going to lie, I did enjoy it, but I wish they would have omitted so many things that I could tell were plot fillers and added very little from my perspective, and most of the characters were not that well written.

It was a surprising show!
Not, because the plot isn't predictable. Even tho there were some elements that actually surprised me, but there are shows that are even tho they're predictable, it's still fun, have a real meaning. My Demon is not the best show on Earth, but they didn't complicate the story too much, didn't stretched out anything for no reason, like many Kdrama does. Basically every character is lovable, funny, and the villains are not 2-dimensional.
The writing isn't the best, but it's consistent, there's no unnecessary drama. Everything that the characters are doing is understandable. The chemistry between Kim You Jung and Song Kang is top-notch, every actor did their best. Honestly, it's quite surprising that most characters actually developed into a better one.
The best part, at least for me, is that there's no stupid love drama, no crazy love triangle or anything like that. The past life story was great too, but it could've been a bit longer.
I LOVED how Ga Young's story "ended", her character development is probably the best!
Like I said, the show surprised me with some of its twists, but overall it's still predictable, but this is the prime example when it can't ruin the enjoyment.
I loved the message of the show as well: Nothing as simple as you may think. Everything has two sides.
I think, this is the meaning of the show.
This show deserve the hype for sure, but don't expect too much, this is just a good, thrilling show with well-written characters and love story.

Not bad but not good
It's an easy watch, no need to use your brain at all. Probably a good way to destress.Plot
The writing is not amazing, but it's not so boring that I would drop it. As other reviews already mentioned, it's a mix-and-match of your favourite typical cliches. NOTHING AGAINST CLICHES, I like them.
Cast
Amazing visuals from the main cast, Song Kang and Yoojung, and they have amazing chemistry in my opinion (I mean what else can I say?) Acting is great.
Music
Amazing setlist omg, I would totally add the OSTs to my Spotify playlist. The opening theme is catchy and well. Tiktok speaks for itself.
Rewatch value
Rated it kinda high because I think it's really easy to just throw this on and enjoy it.

Einfach Toll
Eine wundervolle Serie, die zum Teil sehr Traurig ist, haltet Taschentücher bereit. Der Schauspieler hat super gepasst mit der Darstellerin. Klar man hat sich evtl noch gewünscht das der Teufel noch Teuflischer wäre, die zwei Schauspieler können ruhig öfter eine Übernatürliche Serie drehen.Kann man gerne mehrmals schauen.
Und jetzt hoffe ich auf einen 2 Teil, wo die beiden mehrere Schwierigkeiten erleben, und Sie irgendwann stirbt. Und als Dämon wieder kommt, ach und natürlich dürfen die kleinen Teufelchen nicht fehlen.

i love the series and i would fully recommend it.
i normally dont watch kdrama with romance when its one girl and one man as often the girl is made in a way I don't like. but in this series she was shown as an independent woman from start. even if the body guard thing maybe makes her own power less but I feel like it didn't take away how she is. i fully recommend watching it. i will rewatch it one day. Its my fav kdrama romanceVond je deze recentie nuttig?
It grew on me
I'm glad I watched this show. I don't know why because it's full of tropes and some moments or plot points weren't convincing – some parts were laughable because of how convenient they were to the plot. I wanted to drop the drama after 2 or 3 episodes but I kept on watching because I love the two main leads and every show they've been a part of.And SOMEHOW the things that annoyed me the most about the show (exaggerated "charicature comedy" like with the butler and the employees, KYJ not really fitting her "cold CEO" role IMO, trope after trope, not that strong of a chemistry between the two leads...) slowly improved. I probably just matched my expectations to what I was watching and got used to the style of the show. Once I accepted it for what it was it got better and I ended up enjoying many aspects, such as how the main leads evolved over time as individuals and in their relationship, the suspense that was predictable but still fun to watch, the relationships between the "villains", the play with the ideas of good and evil and the aesthetic of the show. I'm glad I had time to binge-watch it though because I would have dropped it had watched it as it came out or couldn't skip forward certain parts.
And how stunning are SK and KYJ? Like damn, they suit each other so well TT

Cute demon
Típico romcom de fantasia, tem até referência a goblin haha. O título de demônio do Jung Koo Won poderia ser facilmente trocado por qualquer outro ser místico. Do Do Hee é uma personagem maravilhosa e ver o prota chamando o nome dela é a coisa mais fofa que existe. Amei as brigas e as cenas de romance entre o casal. Foi muito divertido de assistir. Achei muito bons os personagens secundários e vilões. Imaginei que o prota iria acabar virando humano, mas não fizeram isso.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Review from all aspects
Overall it was a nice drama to watchIt reminds you of how dramas used to be when you first started to watch dramas . It's a very standard plot , they met something happens and you see how they deal with the situation and then the end . It has it's comedy part and it's nice ost and music. The romance was a bit " intense " at first but it went on smoothly ( which put me off a bit , but that's my opinion).As for the action part it was nice but I have watched better stuff (personal opinion here) but you may like it . The acting was goodd and the outfits were perfect. Furthermore you could tell that the cinematography was about to be professional.I would rate this 7/10 only because there was no big plot twist that would make the story a bit more interesting. It's a nice smooth fantasy romance so I think you should give it a try since you don't have anything to lose.

Not Bad but Not Good either
this show was good, yes but the storyline got boring the moment they started to fall for each other. Before that, I was extremely curious about the culprit's identity and the backstory behind his villain arc but after it turned out to be Noh Suk-min, it decreased my interest in that show even more. The beginning was perfect. From Eps 1-10, I watched the series without even sleeping but it got more and more boring as the episodes progressed. But still, this show was very good. Just wish that the FL didn't just act expressionless while the ML was being portrayed as a cheerful, devoted husband character because by the end, they both became highly annoying. But still, a great watch. Highly recommended.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Loved how it wrapped up
My Demon did a really good job of being what it is: a fantasy romance. It is imperfect, but it has far more ups than downs, even considering the bizarrely implausible nonsensical demise/non-demise of a main character.My biggest kudos go to FL Kim You Jung. Some actors act the role, others inhabit the role. Kim You Jung crawled into the character of Do Do Hee and gave it everything. She is marvelously expressive, every character emotion perfectly timed and absolutely believable.
Kim Tae Hoon was icily malevolent as Noh Suk Min. He deserved a more sensible wrap up for his character.
Kim Hae Sook is so so so good as Joo Chun Sook. She's one of my favorite character actors and must be everyone else's favorite too because she's in EVERYTHING. And she's so wonderful she needs to keep being in EVERYTHING.
The fantasy was well conceived and executed, thanks in part to atmospheric shot composition and cinematography. The romance between the leads was smoking. They were adorable together. I could have done without the early episodes' tryst with the Enemies to Lovers trope, but it resolved quickly, if not quite quickly enough for me.
I don't usually have the patience to track multiple character development arcs, but I got invested in each one in My Demon. Script writer Choi Ah Il did a wonderful job wrapping them all up after taking exactly the time it needed to do them justice.

I love it but i wish they have given more...
I watched because a lot of my friends suggested this to me. On the first eps im really hooked maybe also because of the main lead's chemistry but the story and plot was somewhat got lost on the last eps but its still good for me. I laughed, cried, felt sad throughout. It's a typical "fate" type of a story in kdramas but i will always still ate it up so ?? How also they didn't focus merely on the fact that he's a demon but also showed the people's own evilness and demon.I love that its a happy ending too, idk about u all but i love my kdramas with happy endings idc if its unrealistic but its a fantasy drama in the first place so! Also, i love that they made the male lead still immortal because it stays with their "fate" plot that even on their next life they will always find each other thing.
On the main leads, they played it well even the side actors. I didn't know Song Kang can play comedy lol and throughout the drama, one thing is always on mind - HE'S SO INSANELY BEAUTIFUL?? the same goes with the female lead, i always knew her and watched her past dramas and i know she will always kill it.
For the OST, i love it too! it carries the fantasy vibe of the story. I added all of it on my playlist.
Overall, its a typical fantasy drama that's been going on in kdramas but it still delivered! Song Kang in here is like a breathe of fresh air for me. Would recommended but will i rewatch it? maybe? it didn't really leaves an impact to me or that feeling of wanting to see it again and again but who knows i might find myself watching it. If you're a sucker for fantasy & romance drama, this ones for you.
