Never Experienced a drama like this before
Wow k dramas really can bring me to tears like no other. This drama has done something I have not personally experienced from any other. Let’s get into it.First off, love the character dynamic of the Main Leads(MLs)
Headstrong business woman with a traumatic past, and a eerie present with a hidden vulnerability( She desires a stable, and reliable protector/ “salvation” is what she calls ML).
And a Carefree business man who is also a very powerful demon who sees humans as insignificant soul banks.Until he meets FML of course ;)
Both putting on a front of commitment-phobia by the way.(in the beginning)
~ This is a long review~ proceed if you like to read
[PSA]I’m only going to speak on what I liked because what I disliked is very trivial now that I’ve finished the series.
*The tattoo and power transfer was unexpected but it made the story more interesting
*I liked that the relationship build up wasn’t rushed or slow and it didn’t overshadow the storyline, it actually gave it some dimension, kind of like a soft pillow after being punched in the gut:)
*ML pursues first, despite FML being attracted first. He fell harder and He fell in love pretty quick for a demon with commitment issues. It was cute.
*ML was very willing to protect the FML and help her with all the BS going on with her “family” despite pretending to only care because of the tattoo
Now for the parts that really surprised me;)
In the typical drama, after the MLs becomes an official couple, there usually like 2 intimate scenes and then a random breakup and then something crazy happens, they get back together, kiss and the end.
We rarely get to see a drama where the MLs becomes a actual couple and we as the viewers get to witness the full intimacy of their love.
This drama does that!!! Theres cuddles, 1000s of hugs and kisses(exaggerations but close enough). There’s super cute couple moments and funny moments and cute nicknames. It’s was really like watching a actual couple. Two supermodels as a couple 😂. And when I say kiss I mean all kinds, pecks, full on making out, slow kisses ,hard but tender kisses even passionate ones with actual emotion and not stiff at 😱OMG I was f”*cking dazed !!! And then the pillow talk and sweet nothings!! Ahhhhhh! And let’s not talk about the fact that the ML lead a horizontal tango right after the first kiss. He was HOOKED! So romantic. When I say watching this felt like peeping into an actual loving married couples life sometimes…I’m sweating, and manifesting 🙏🏽Please send me a Gu-won.
The last thing this drama did that I have not seen before is…
It didn’t trying to completely change Gu-won’s baddie character😈. Let me explain
Gu won is a demon, hear that? DEMON! the devil to be precise. He makes his deals, takes souls and he has done it well for 200 years. And it’s not at all moral. At all. He’s not a saint and doesn’t pretend to be one outside of protecting his wife(Do-hee). He views humans as nothing more than ticking clocks. He can be very ruthless and almost villain like at times. and this stays his stance throughout the entire series. I REALLY liked that because I’ve noticed a theme in dramas where if one of the Main characters isn’t a favorable
or “good person” they do a complete 180 and rebirth them by the end of the series, completely overhauling their original description. We don’t always have to have saint like MLs, he’s a demon for the love of..nvm… The FML did not run away crying because she saw the MLs ruthless behavior she understood what he was even before they got married; it shook her a bit when she saw those red eyes and him air chocking a woman to death but in the end she was willing to stand by her man for evil or for worse haha, he was actually the coward there. I think she understood that he was crazy af and the LITERAL DEVIL to the world but he was her husband and a cuddly bear protecter WHO WOULD SACRIFICE IT ALL FOR HER, ya know. that some deep loyalty fr. So sweet Tehe. Like I’ve literally never watched a drama where the FML just let the ML do his thing without crying and running away. Very different.
Now don’t misconstrue my point. Gu won had major character development but it didn’t turn him from a demon to a rebirthed human or angel. He was still very much a demon at the end, he still reaped souls and made deals, he just became a more mature demon with a tiny bit more of a moral compass and a sense of purpose.
Lastly for anyone who cares, the side character weren’t a bore. I was very much entertained with the antics. The villains even had dimension.
This drama also made 16 episodes feel like 30 but in a pleasant way. Some ppl are complaining it was drawn out but we literally got a full on 10 different Acts in a 16 episode series. That’s talent. No part was dull and it all connected. anyways
Highly recommend 10/10

Bad acting from lead pair - one time watch for the visual that main lead pair is bringing
Just my personal opinion. I started this series just because of kim yoo-jung. But ended as a fan of Jo Hye Joo. Even though she only had a few scenes her screen presence was good.Acting wise main pair was not good at all. May be production team might have thought like they can sell this drama based on looks of lead pair. As usual Song Kang again shown us that he is only good at make out scene and not in acting.
VFX was nice. Even the OST.
Kim Tae Hoon, Kang Seung Ho did a fantastic job in this series.
I would say this again : :D Special mention to Jo Hye Joo, she should get a main role drama soon. She was perfect.
I wont suggest this drama to a any person

Seems like the story is written by chatgpt
As we all know AI can't make something creatively original, it picks up different things mashes them together and gives out "art" whether it's pictures or writings. This drama feels like that. It's just a mashup of other popular fantasy dramas and even then it suffers from many plot holes. Add to this the laughably bad acting of the male lead in comedic scenes.This drama has everything;
Bad story
Plot holes
Bad casting
Bad acting
Cringy comedy
The only good things about this drama are the music and the visual production.
It would've been a bit better if they had made the demon character a little more serious because Song Kang is good at play serious roles.

Overhyped
The plot was pretty boring and terrible. I got bored many times in the drama but decided to push through to see if the writer(s) would redeem themselves. I feel like they started focusing on romance rather than the plot (which seemed like an afterthought). Everything was predictable. Somewhat boring because all the villains were revealed in the first four episodes. I did enjoy the ost though (the music was the best part of the whole show). Nothing new or revolutionary (boring and unoriginal). Maybe would watch if you’re extremely bored.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

how can you ruin something so fast
watching this drama was extremely frustrating because the jeon guwon character fits song kang so perfectly but the writing was a crazy messit started off good, i loved the funny scenes, the drama, the romance, all the fantasy. but they completely lost me on episode 12 when they added plot over plot after lot's of pointless things that happened before.. and why add so much more drama with 4 episodes left?
i came in worried it would be like goblin from some stuff i saw beforehand but it was going so good... until it didn't. do i need to say anything about the 15th episode ending?
i was a lot happier about seeing guwon reuniting with his gang than with dohee lol ig that says a lot. last episode for me was around 20 minutes long, i watched in 2x speed and jumping a lot of scenes because i just couldn't care. the mom-son part was kinda good to see but also infuriating because of how they were both screwed by that man and she only actually felt for her son so long after he died.
until the 10th episode it was great for me but everything after became a mess that only got worse, i think it is a 7 stars drama in consideration of the first half of it, the amazing cast, the chemistry between the main leads and the humour. wasn't the worst drama ever but i just couldn't enjoy the end with all the plot holes, nonsense and rushed pass.

visually stunning filler
[Before we begin I have to shout out that intro. Never skipped and even replayed it sometimes. The visuals and vibes go too hard]I'll be honest, I wasn't on board with the show until about ep 4, but that proposal really sped things up for me. The story has your typical problematic chaebol family but some twists here and there. The jokes weren't landing in the beginning but things became funnier as this progressed.
The acting was ok. The FL carried hard. The visual chemistry is insane, and the romantic chemistry is good too. I'm still on the fence about SK’s abilities as an actor. Either the roles he's getting aren't challenging or he simply doesn't have the range. Either way he wasn’t the best here and at times I thought he forgot how to act. KYJ has such a charming face. The directors knew what they were doing casting her in this. Seok Hoon, Madam Ju, and Seok Min’s actors were good. Everyone else was just ok.
This was better than I thought it was gonna be but nothing to rave home about. I actually found myself looking forward to the ep drops, tho this had more to do with the fan service and visual aspect. I had to be honest with myself--this was a filler show. Visually pleasing but filler nonetheless. Everything else was what you'd expect from a fantasy drama with crazy rich people in the mix. I was never really invested in the overarching story at any point. We also got the predictable happy ending which is good for general kdrama viewers but bad if you expected more plot execution.

"My Demon": Song Kang & Kim Yoo-Jung Deliver Sparks in Supernatural Rom-Com
"My Demon" like two friends over coffee. So, picture this: you've got this icy heiress, Do Do Hee, running the world with a frozen smile and steely gaze. Then boom, this cocky demon, Jung Koo Won, crashes into her life, all smoke and shadow, only to lose his mojo in the most embarrassing way possible. Talk about awkward! They're forced to team up, navigating a world of hidden powers and simmering secrets, all while trying not to set each other on fire with their undeniable chemistry.Sure, the storyline might trip up here and there, but the banter between these two? Pure gold. Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung have this crackling energy that just pops off the screen. You're laughing one minute, swooning the next, and wondering how someone can be so infuriatingly attractive. And the whole good-versus-bad, demon-and-human thing? It's not your typical love story, but that's what makes it so addicting. You're rooting for them even though it feels a little forbidden, a little dangerous.
By the end, you'll be misty-eyed (okay, maybe that's just me), but mostly satisfied. It's a show that leaves you wanting more, not because it's unfinished, but because you just want to hang out with these flawed, lovable characters a little longer. So, if you're looking for a fun, spicy ride with a touch of the fantastical, "My Demon" is definitely worth your time. Just grab your favorite drink, some tissues (just in case!), and get ready for a wild, heartwarming adventure.

Love this!
Wow, these reviews are brutal. A lot of them are picking My Demon apart piece by piece. So what if the story seems familiar in places? So what if there are ridiculous characters?The only thing that matters is if you enjoy the series. Which I did!! And, for that matter, I give it a 10! This isn’t rocket science. This is entertainment and I was thoroughly entertained.
I have never seen a more beautiful couple. I have rarely seen such chemistry between a couple in the many dramas I have watched. Their playfulness was adorable. Their tenderness towards each other was enviable.
I love the supporting characters as well. I still get teary eyed when I think of how the son was mistreated. That’s saying how powerful the emotions are in this series to stay with me.
Loved this so much.

last episode thoughts
Was it just me or was the whole last episode filler and flash backs?? nothing happened until the very last fifteen minutes. also how the heck did Noh Seok Min even survive??? I was expecting him to become a demon somehow. but he falls of the tallest building I’ve ever seen and falls into the water and somehow survives?? falling from a height like that would be like hitting cement and absolutely shatter his body. he comes back for all of five minutes and is dead 😅 it would have been more completing and exciting if he had come back as a demon as well. that’s where I thought the show was going with him stealing the book and learning about demons. that all became pointless then too.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Fails on the Story of a Fallen Angel
Honestly, I am blur as to what the writer really wanted to showcase and highlight about the story. But at least this series is far to be near the story of Thomas John Ellis's role as Lucifer in the American blockbuster urban fantasy tv series 'Lucifer' who both tackles the life of the castaway angel. Perhaps, the writer wanted to depict another side of this demonic character. i just find the story lackluster and failed to deliver a spectacle despite those good-looking actors, captivating location and production scenes.The story simply lacks substance and spectacle of what the story of an evil creature should be depicted in order to leave an etch on the minds of the viewers.

Entertaining
Spoilers- read at your own risk.My thoughts before it aired:
I didn't know about this drama until maybe 2-4weeks before it's air date. I was really excited to watch this because of the actors who were casted as main leads. Their visuals in the poster arr awesome. I watched a few dramas of Kim Yoojung's and like 2 of Song Kang's that I didn't get to finish (not due to his acting but possibly because the stories weren't for me) so I had a rough idea on what to expect from Kim Yoojung's acting which I like.
The intro song:
This intro song has made it in to the top 10 intro songs that I'd never skip because wow.
Storyline:
The overall concept was good especially the first few episodes and the first half of the drama was really amazing. The second half of the drama was cool but I think that the story could have been filled with more awesome twists and possible new storylines could've benefited the drama for example if Do-Hee became the demon or was the original one somehow but as I'm writing this review, I think with the route that the drama went with was actually good because then that twist would've been so obvious.
That annoying side character:
There is most likely always an annoying side character trying to interfere with the main couple's relationship in most dramas but thankfully, here, she wasn't really evil but at times unlikable and selfish but was tolerable to an extent. I liked how her character developed and her story ended.
The main couple:
Cutie Pies. 💓 Awesome chemistry. Good casting. They need to be in another drama again after Song Kang returns from his military enlistment.
Favourite scene:
Trying not to spoil this but the stair case scene and how they got there was epic.
The last few episodes:
They were a little bit slow paced but that didn't really make me think 'I need to stop watching this'. Also, there were two times when Do-Hee behaved strangely for me and they were when she saw Gu-Won collecting his deal towards the last few episodes and when she 'protected' him at the end of episode 15.... I was thinking girl.... you know that he's a demon and that's what he does and also he has powers to protect himself. So, to answer this myself to give that an excuse, I thought okay let's just say it's just human instinct because she never saw him collect deals before properly and that action she did to save him was purely instinct aswell.
The last episode:
The story pretty much concluded in episode 15 or you could the beginning of episode 16 because we got our main lead back in like the firat 15 mins or so of the last episode which was great and the remainder of the episode (pretty much 90% of it) was dedicated to their happily ever after. I am glad that this was the case because usually in most other dramas we only get like 2 mins of a happy ending - 10 mins if we are lucky. There was no rush to conclude this drama on a positive note because they gave it plenty of time and that'l was awesome. One of the best things of the ending was that Gu-Won remained a demon and he actually liked being one and he didn't magically become human just to please viewers or that Do-Hee didn't become a demon somehow. They both stayed how they were and basically just loved each other. It was a bitter sweet happy ending because he'll outlive her but still finished on a positive note.
Should you watch this?
Completely your choice.
Was it a life changing drama that I will remember for years to come? (*ahem ahem Moon Lovers*)
Probably not but that's not to say that this isn't good.
My overall rating for this drama is a 10 because I genuinely enjoyed watching it and the anticipation of waiting for it weekly and omg the tiktok edits were so fun to watch.
