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.
