My Demon (2023)

Masterpiece but still not fully satisfied for one minor part

My Demon is a Iconic, Pure Masterpiece. It is Happy Ending but feeling Sad because it’s Complete now. My demon team has successfully made fans cry, laugh, and win their hearts❤️.

Why I'm not fully satisfied?
⚠️ Spoilers Alert : It would have been more satisfying for me if Gu-won had become human at the end. Because it’s not clarify how he's gonna live after Do Do Hee's present life??. He can't live without her for a moment. Anyway, That's writer decision, Some of fans are fully satisfied & Some of not. Missing My Demon ?.

Completed on 22 January 2024. 3rd Day (24 January 2024) update of me after completed : Still could not recovered yet. Feeling so heartbreaking ?. Because after being attached to a great show for so long and emotionally attached to the characters, I'm always heartbroken when it ends.

The little details...

lol I just finished watching it and this show clearly got me hooked throughout the time I was watching... the acting, the storyline, the actors, details connecting... I just LOVED it. And my fav detail is probably the god's hat missing the letter 'o' in most scenes, which is written 'God', but in the last scene that she appered was a brand new hat writing 'Good', and it really made it clear that how she had developed characteriscally through the end, but not leaving her personality by calling Gu-won & Do-hee's last scene "Silly humans!". It was worth watching it overall, and now I'm in a feeling of emptiness, like after every time completing a show, but now it feels much more different...

Onestamente mi aspettavo molto da questo drama, che a parer mio è fin troppo sopravvalutato. Sebbene il cast sia decente e i due main lead abbiano un intesa incredibile, per quanto riguarda la storia purtroppo non è cosi. Poiché se inizialmente mi aveva colpito molto, andando avanti, la storia diventava sempre più banale e scontata, finché arrivato all'episodio 11 ho deciso di dropparlo. Ho provato ad andare avanti più volte tutta via non ci sono riuscito. Gli sceneggiatori hanno volto mettere nell'opera troppe caratteristiche viste e riviste in altri drama che onestamente mi hanno stufato, per non parlare del fatto che il ML per tutto la durata del drama si comporterà come un umano e non come un demone.
Sicuramente non è uno dei kdrama peggiori che ho visto ma neanche sicuramente il migliore, potevano fare molto di meglio.

It was promising but falls short

I gave it a seven because of the dramatic effects and the wardrobe of the cast. I've fallen asleep in two of the episodes. Honestly it started so good. Now I'm just waiting to see if anything cool happens later on. The FL is good but the chemistry is off I don't know why. The main lead is okay but falls short ABIT. I loved the grandma. Hate the crazy stalker dude. I'm not even interested in the succession politics. Couldn't care less who ends up with the company. Also they have taken too long to bring up this contract and even introduced an unnecessary love triangle. Sigh. .........

My Demon dosent look like one

I never enjoy this drama though it has the most famous actress and actor as main casts. In life there is no such thing that will be like this drama and what I never like is a person lives so many years and to live with human. Ofcourse it is just a story but it is so faked that I stopped watching after Episode 10 and it is a drama I was not keen or looking forward to watch to the next epsiodes. It wasn't ineteresting to begin with and all the way it was and never will. And the main actress is more suitable to be in historical drama and I cannot enjoy this drama of hers. Anyway this is only my opinion and am not sure of others . I wont vote for this drama if I were to choose

IT'S QUITE SIMILAR WITH GOBLIN 2018

But with terrible acting skills, especially SK how can his acting skills still be bland throughout a lot of dramas, gaining experiences while acting with senior actors he still cannot act. His line is the worst the way he speaks makes me so annoyed, it's so blank, it seems like he wants to act cool with his voice or something but it doesn't seem effective.
KYJ is so beautiful, and she's a child actress so she has a lot of experience but her acting seems to have one color not colorful in my eyes, she's needs to choose drama with outstanding content or complex characters to prove her acting more and do not depend on this kind of meaningless romantical drama that doesn't help her acting career.
In conclusion, it's still on ep 2 so I will continue to watch it if SK improves and KYJ proves her acting more, I will rewrite this review --> sorry I dropped it, lack of patience, I'm getting enough of this kind of drama, KYJ's acting in this is not my kind of fav and SK is the WORST with his line and facial expression.

How Did I Watch 4 Episodes of This Trash

They're trying so hard to make Song Kang's character into Doom (Seo In Guk) in Doom at Your Service—even down to some of the ambient sound effects... but he really doesn't have convincing "bad boy" vibes. At all. It feels like your friend's cute little brother in a vampire costume trying to convince you he's sooo dark and mysterious.

It feels like this is the "parade-of-eye-candy and familiar-cliches-people-love makes up for lack of quality in writing, dialogue, characters, etc." formula that made King the Land popular.

Everything about the screenplay is just bad and contrived. They (and the scenarios they're put in) tick a lot of stock cliche boxes, but there's not a lot (any?) complexity to grab on to and bring them to life. I've liked Yoo Jung in other things, but she comes off as very wooden in this role.

But, I mean, we get lots of close ups of pretty leads, so that makes up for it right?

All in all, I liked the premise, but high production quality and big names do not guarantee a good drama—but it can make for a popular drama. So, have fun with this! I'm tapping out.

Promising demon-human plot in "My Demon" fails with clichés & slow burn.

"Ugh, 'My Demon' started off with so much promise! A human stuck with a demon? Sign me up for that enemies-to-lovers angst! But let me tell you, this drama went from exciting to frustrating faster than you can say 'supernatural contract.'
The characters, who could have been complex and intriguing, were just walking clichés. The demon dude was the brooding bad boy we've seen a million times, and the human girl? Helpless damsel in distress central. I yearned for some depth, some spark between them, but instead got...obligation masquerading as romance. Major let down.
And don't even get me started on the world-building! It felt like they threw in some vague ideas about demon lore and then called it a day. Where was the explanation? The depth? The whole mythology felt like a missed opportunity. It was like the writers dangled a cool backstory over our heads and then yanked it away, leaving us with nothing but questions and a furrowed brow.
To top it all off, the pacing was slower than a sloth on a sugar crash. I kept waiting for the plot to take off, for something exciting to happen, but...nada. Maybe if the story wasn't such a slog and the characters had some personality, But nope, 'My Demon' was a disappointment on all fronts.
It's like they had the recipe for a fantastic fantasy romance, but forgot to add any flavor.

bad from the very beginning...don't bother

From the very beginning, seeing the type of camara quality they had, I knew something was up.

To sum it up, I felt this was meant for 13 year olds.
"Pretty" faces are not enough to make it worth watching.

It was dull, uninteresting and had some pretty bad acting from the main lead. I don't know if it's his line delivery or what, but it feels awkward and unnatural, more so when he's delivering a "joke". The female lead was great as always and she suits the comedic style much better than the ML, but it wasn't enough to salvage the series. The story was so boring, there was nothing to keep me going except my conviction that a project with such popular actors 'must' be good. Alas I was wrong.

I was struggling so much to keep going that I decided to stop. There are so many other dramas that are out right now that deserve my attention (Welcome to Samdalri, Tell me that you love me, and Flowers in sand).

Bad plot, bad acting, bad production quality. Better just watch a quality classic instead.

just no

This was a waste of my time. I've spent 6 hours watching this when I could've done other things. I blame my FOMO

DISLIKES

The characters
The fl is meant to be this independent businesswoman who isn't a damsel in distress, right? Instead, we have a character who constantly needs to be saved by this handsome demon (who is the only demon in the entire series apparently). She also needs to marry someone to inherit her family's business APPARENTLY. And don't get my wrong. I'm not saying romance makes a woman weak and dependent of her partner. It's just silly that she needs to marry to inherit the business and the rescue missions done by the ml were becoming extremely repetitive. What do you mean ''she's being hanged from a building by the ones who want to kill her''. HER KILLERS COULD'VE KILLED HER QUICKLY WITHOUT DELAY? All these situations show that the demon's powers are extremely useless the fl's bodyguard could've been a human.

Surprise surprise, I do not only dislike the fl but the ml as well! He isn't funny, he isn't romantic. His only personality trait is being a goofy demon who apparently lived for many years but doesn't in the slightest bit act maturely as he's just a silly demon.

The romance
The leads start bickering on their first meeting, so I could tell they wanted to make this an enemies to lovers romance. Plot twist, they weren't enemies at all! The trope was so forced it's hilarious. Their interactions were so boring I'm surprised I managed to watch 6 episodes. To sum it up, their romance was boring. I found it bland and poorly written.

Honestly, I can't say much about the plot. The only thing I'll say is that it didn't make sense

LIKES

The ost was decent, I guess
