didn’t understand the hype

this was my younger sisters fav drama but idk.. i didn’t get it. this just felt like every other drama i watch—fated romance w a murder mystery underneath it. they die for each other come back alive die again and live a happily ever after. i do understand that guwon and dohee had rly good chemistry LOL guwon was hot man . and i saw some of their bts like WOW. but the plot wasn’t there for me. they did have cute scenes but not enough to make up for the plot… idk this was meh. but good!??? better than the average but still … not everything.

My demon is overrated

Its not that good drama how the whole thing is hyped up. Ngl the visuals , ost and cast is good but the storyline is not that up to the mark to rewatch it once again . I dropped the drama at ep9 but till ep 16 it's a good drama to watch it for once I don't think so rewatching again is a good deal , compared to welcome to samdalri or other dramas these dramas are really better than my demon . I feel my demon is overrated . In short , it's a good drama with past life connection , thriller , romance comedy but something was missing to spice up the drama . overall it's a 5/10 for story .

I have a wish too . . please shorten this series by half

The premise of the show is interesting. A demon who can grant a wish to anyone in exchange for eternal damnation. We were shown a few tantalising examples to whet our appetite. It also serves to demonstrate the ML’s demonic powers. It was entertaining while it lasted.

The wheel starts to fall off once the Demon gets his powers back. We are attacked by a herd of drunken unicorns. We have a whole episode of them being lovey-dovey. So sweet, my teeth are aching. Other than a couple of key scenes, it is utter meaningless fluff. This happened again and again. Sugar overload or deepest melancholia, choose your poison.

But wait! There's more. Why stop at unicorns? Let’s throw in a psycho killer, a deranged young man and a power-hungry evil mastermind. That's what I call a party! Some show can pull this off, but this drama wasn't even trying. Most of the characters are one dimensional. Many side characters are just canon fodders. There was minimal creativity. It is a smorgasbord of ideas mashed together and spread super thin.

This is not helped by plot holes, bad pacing and whiplash change of tones. We literally have filler episodes inserted into the middle of the show just to pad out the runtime. Throw in lengthy recaps and repetitive flashbacks to the 18th century and we have a lot of dead space in between the key plot developments. I can only credit this to a need to keep our leads in play for as long as possible so that the production company can capitalise on their star powers. The amount of PPL is quite egregious.

Unsurprisingly, the 2OTP is a lazy caricature. Their "romance" was a 5 sec joke that went on for 5 hours. Those seasoned actors have my deepest respect. They took one for the team.

I also feel sorry for the fans of the two leads. The potential is there. Their pairing could have been magical but there is very little spark here. The script is so heavy handed that you stop believing after awhile. They still look good together, but it feels like they are models sashaying through the glamourous sets.

Sadly, the paper-thin plot and lazy writing makes the rest of the show barely watchable. As soon as the Demon regained his powers, the tension is gone. If that is not enough, they throw in a god who can override everything. Who needs narrative logic when you have god's will. I do have to give the show props for their version of God. It is certainly an interesting take and a brave choice from a Korean perspective.

O Daemon, I beseech thou! Grant me mine wish. Pretty please?

just a mixture of every other kdrama

Well well well wasn't this a big disappointment..
Looking at the cast you definitely end up expecting a great kdrama that will keep u waiting every week and have a promising story line.....needless to say this was not the case....
It started of pretty good imo but midway it just got all haywire as they started putting so many different kdrama plots all at once (which does work in some places but unfortunately not here)
As another review said it's basically a mix of all fantasy kdramas specially goblin........like for god's sake they had to copy the iconic goblin disappearing in flames?! I mean as writers maybe u cud come up with smthn different or just rather make him die like a normal person or smthn....but to copy a very very famous drama is just dumb....like did they expect nobody to notice or did they expect ppl to love it?
Also the overall plot was just like all cliche dramas.....but cliches still work if u add at least one new element......this was just tooo generalised and predictable like the past life? guwon having a connection to do hee's parents' death? a psycho sfl who's idiocy and obsession they just forget and move on? the dramatic break up in episode 14? the contract marriage? the 'i hated you but now i love u? the unexplainable change in his powers ? it's just everything that's been done so many times..... The audience obviously demands something new with everything they watch and if u cannot deliver this maybe think of doing something else that will make you stand out instead of all these cliche plotlines and a 16 episode long series....
Istg they did not fail to include every damn scene or plotline that has been done millions of times....
Personally for me and this may be for others as well.... i really was looking forward to song kang and kim yoo jung together on screen as they are such amazing famous actors.....im sorry to say but i just couldn't love song kang in this one......his acting just seemed so unconvincing....he was great in some parts but tbh his acting in the romcom parts didn't really cut it for me......that being said....the chemistry was fairly good if not the best out there.....
Personally i think there were just too many issues with the plot and the writing for me to be able to enjoy this for what it was and not look at its shortcomings.....
So if ur planning to watch this i would not suggest it unless ur a first time kdrama watcher and totally unaware of those 100s of kdramas this one's a mixture of

Mi scuso per le parole forti che userò.
Io stavo amando questa storia. L'ho guardato quasi di filato fino all'ep 11 divorando tutto quello che mi stava dicendo. In un unico episodio (il 12esimo) è riuscito ad annoiarmi, farmi perdere la pazienza e il completo interesse che avevo. Non sono nemmeno riuscita a finirlo quest'episodio. Ogni volta che provavo a portarlo avanti mi veniva il rifiuto, il v*mito a continuarlo. Da qui la mia decisione di drop.
Di base concordo con tanti altri pareri, ovvero l'ennesima copia di goblin solo che qui non ci siamo limitati a prendere ispirazione. Qui ci sono tante, troppe cose in comune con tanti altri drama fantasy. Poi sto dannato passato in comune, ma PERCHè??!! Ancora?? Ma basta! Che palle!
Inoltre stiamo parlando di fantasy ma in verità non pare davvero così: per la maggior parte del tempo lui è umano e si comporta come tale, non sembra mai davvero un demone ma solo una povera anima persa bisognosa di un punto fermo che troverà in FL.
Facendo due conti mi sono resa conto che l'unica cosa che mi portava avanti era la chimica dei due protagonisti: potete dire di tutto sul drama ma non che questi non siano stati perfetti insieme.

if u want a cute romcom with pretty leads, u will love this drama
if u wanted a angsty-female ceo x demon-contract marriage, this is not it. i went in excited with high expectations and i was very much disappointed.

this drama was very very similar to destined with you. the demon is not demonic at all, his powers are like his silly quirk. even though do-hee is a ceo, she doesn't do much work-related and her whole workplace is just a place for comedy
there were so many plot holes/things that did not make sense. like how is she super rich but has less security than common people. also the reasoning for gu-won to become a demon also is very weak, so is seok-min's intentions.

do-hee and gu-won were almost instantly attracted to each other and fell in love quickly, after that the plot was predictable. fan theories were more fun that the actual story

the cast did well, especially kim you-jung and song kang. their chemistry was great but that was it

I started watching this drama knowing very well that is full of clichés only because I wanted to watch something light to ease my mind after stressful exam season. First 6 episodes were incredible. I actually thought we might finally get a good story even with all the clichés. They did a great job introducing the characters as they all seemed quite interesting and kept a good pace. I was invested in the story then it just went downhill .One of the reasons for that is the villain's characterization. there are a few of them and none of them ever make sense. they're just evil in a very comic and over the top way. There is no clear motivation to explain why they're trying so hard to pull Do hee down. This over the topness gets repeated a few more time when some characters somehow survive after falling down from a skyscraper ( I rolled my eyes so hard I saw my brain ) or even when they're stabbed severely.
Another reason is they didn't know what they wanted to do with the story so they tried to re-create some scenes from other fantasy dramas ( goblin,9 tailed fox, gumiho etc. ). Now I don't care about cheesy over the top scenes if the story is good but that's not what happened here. It spends so much time on unnecessary characters and sub plots . Jin star, Seok hun and the gang members were useless. Bok kyu and secretary Shin were funny at first but they got boring too. All their screen time should've been given to Noh family.
another thing is there is way too many flash backs. It seems like they didn't have enough materials for 16 episodes.
I wish post ep 6 was written differently. There was so much potential.
It certainly did serve fashion ( I'm not sure if this is a really good point tho as it seemed like an extended ad for certain fashion brands at time ) and the OSTs are pretty.

Expected more but overall it was alright

The hype that came with this drama before it even aired probably didn't do this drama any favors. I was literally so excited to watch but then it ended up just being alright and just a bit disappointing, especially towards the end where I was just over it and didn't really care much for it anymore. The only thing that really saved this drama was the chemistry and visual factors of our two leads, Kim You Jung and Song Kang. Honestly too, I finished this drama about a week ago and I forgot to write my review and now, I don't even have much to say. It just wasn't very excited or memorable really. Just a drama to pass the time and to be mildly to moderately entertained I guess.

I was obsessed with this show when it started

When this show started, I was obsessed. The minute new episodes dropped, I was there watching. And for episodes 1-10 I was in love with it. Every drama has filler episodes and I don’t mind 1 or 2 but this show is mainly filler episodes from episode 8-16. And I can’t believe I’m saying this because a month ago I was telling everyone I know about this show.

The acting and chemistry keeps this drama going. Kim Yoo Jung is really good in this and I would like to see her in similar roles as she matures as an actress. She really has chemistry with any actor she’s put with and I thought she was pretty good at the funnier scenes too.

I see a lot of people not enjoying Song Kang in this but I think he’s fine. He excels at the more intense scenes, but he could probably stand to work on his comedy delivery. His performance isn’t helped by the fact that outside of romantic scenes, he’s always paired with a much stronger comedic actor - the actor playing his sidekick assistant being a prime example.

The story had a lot of potential and I almost wish someone would redo the concept in a few years time but give us an actual mystery. Maybe the family could’ve been a lot bigger and with a real whodunnit.

I liked the songs in this; the title sequence music fit perfectly. However, there’s one song (and I’m sorry I don’t remember the name) which they used often and it rarely fit the mood of the scene. I’m only mentioning it in case someone out there feels vindicated that I also hated the use of that one song.

Overall, it wasn’t bad but I think a lot of us are mourning wasted potential.

How did they make a fascinating premise so boring in parts?

7/10 is my rating. This is a 2023/2024 South Korean supernatural romance drama with 16, 67 (average) minute episodes.

First I provide a unique synopsis then review

Synopsis

Do Do Hee (Kim You Jung) is the adopted daughter and heir apparent to a conglomerate company called the “Future Group”. She is known as a devilish, hard hitting, and “take no prisoners” executive who has won many awards. Her adopted mother, Joo Chun Sook (Kim Hae Sook) made it clear, when she was alive, that Do Hee would take over after she passed. This does not endear Do Hee to Chun Sook’s children who consider it their right to inherit all of their mother’s assets. The obvious solution to some of them is to get rid of the problem. In this case the problem is Do Hee. When a serial killer is hired to kill Do Hee, he nearly succeeds until Jung Koo Won (Song Kang) appears in his role as a Demon who strikes deals with mortals by granting wishings in return for their trip to Hell 10 years later. He originally plans to only save Do Hee if she enters into an agreement but then agrees to save her and then talk about the agreement. In the chaos that follows they both wind up nearly drowning and the tattoo that gives Koo Won his supernatural powers, transfers to Do Hee. Koo Won finds that he can still perform his role and have access to his power by holding Do Hee’s wrist where the tattoo is located. When Jun Sook tragically dies a condition of inheriting the business is Do Hee must marry within a year. Koo Won agrees to a contract marriage for mutual benefit, he needs to be close to her to touch her tattoo and she needs a husband to secure her inheritance. The two have twisted fate in the present, but things get even more fate based when it appears they also had a connection in the past.

Review

When I looked at reviews there seemed to be those that really loved this series but there was a near equal number that did not like it well. I am in the “did not like it well” camp. I think it is worth watching for the two talented actors, great chemistry and interesting premise if you can relax your expectations for a sensible plot. I was actually bored at times because the progress would hit a stall. I would recommend drama fans watch it once but I wouldn’t rush out to watch it.

Spoilers

I have seen hundreds of dramas at this point and that could be why I am among those that found this one very underwhelming. The main couple got together too early in my opinion. Then was no sense of anticipation. It did not make sense to me that she was so driven and determined to be the heir and then she just gave it up. I know they were trying for the “anything for love” angle, that she was willing to give up all the power and money to protect herself and the person she loved but it was out of character in my opinion.

The serial killer bad guy who was hunting her died too early. I was wondering what they were going to have happen next. It was just odd to have that particular bad guy gone so early in the story.

Two very annoying things in this one. Usually you feel somewhat sorry for 2nd girl or guy and I did like second guy but the 2nd girl was one of the most annoying I have experienced to date. They tried hard to gain our sympathy for her in showing how he saved her from abuse but, even that, did not excuse her toxic behavior later. She even tried to get main girl to drink poison so that the main guy, who is a demon who already lived hundreds of years, could live. Although she had hung around him for over a decade and he showed no interest she still blamed main girl for wrecking her chance. What chance? Her jealousy was misplaced and annoying.

The other annoying thing was the romance between the elder couple. It was fine they liked each other, even cute, but them hiding it for so long became ridiculous. I think it was supposed to be funny and they definitely did the big reveal where they thought they were hiding it but everyone already knew. Oh ha ha! Like we have never seen that play out before. It was unoriginal and just not funny.

When Netflix gets ahold of something I know it is going to be drawn out too much and there will be way too many flashbacks. That was the case in this one. The plot would already be dragging because so many of the major conflicts and reveals already happened and then, oh great, let’s rehash the whole script again.

They, of course, had to do the separating from you for your own good trope. I don’t like that trope. It is right up there with the amnesia trope for me.

I believe it was confirmed the leads were dating in real life and they definitely had that level of chemistry. It is not their fault the script was just awful at some points. Their acting was excellent but the content was off.

There was so much potential in this one. With a great cast and interesting premise this could have been a great addition to the supernatural genre. I am not sure how they managed to make it so drawn out and boring except the pacing and when they chose to do reveals.

A good, lightful & comedic drama

Starting off it was expoentionly good, but as you watch you realise that has typical plot but at the same it's unique,
Good factors:
*It contained amazing chemistry
*it was really funny
*The acting was amazing
*it was pretty exciting and I kept waiting for new episodes eagerly

No not so good factors:
*The storyline was messed up
*At some point the storyline was so predictable
*The timing and everything was going downhill as we reached the end of the drama
*It just had too much things
Spoilerrr - gu won returning as a demon make sense as he was immortal as a demon, ofc he would grieve for do hee if she died because she's a human, she's bound to die since she's an mortal, it would only make sense if he returned as a human

Not only me but many people think the same
So iam not tryna offend anyone..
In conclusion I really liked it overall I would recommend it

Watching this for Song Kang

Let me start with the fact that the actress Kim Yoo Jung looks like a doppelgänger with Ki Hyun Woo. Right down to the eye mold on the left cheek.

As with Kdramas with chaebols. You can expect a villain. This villain became apparent after before the final reveal. As soon as you were shown the son being evil you can see the misdirect to the true villain. Although they did give a second misdirect with the cousin and the dad.

The mom really did not deserve a redemption arc in the end. Both Chairman Ju and Kim Se Ra. At least the sister Noh Soo A stayed true to being a self serving chaebol to the very end.

Of course what demon series wouldn’t do a past lives reincarnation. At least it makes a bit more sense in this series. I mean we need an original story of why he became a demon.

With the whole 200 year old demon I would imagine there are other demons too. My guess is that he is only accountable for however many souls there are clocks.

It also makes sense that a demon needs to be visual pleasing to the eyes. I mean who would sell their soul to an fugly mofo. I mean the devil is supposed to be god’s most beautiful angel before he fell into hell for an insurrection.

The side couple of Shin Na Jeong and Park Bok Yu was entertaining enough without eclipsing the main couple.

Overall, it is an easy watch despite this not being new or groundbreaking. It is just a guilty pleasure to watch Song Kang in another series where he looks hot with decent story and acting.
