This was needed. Especially in a world where people, as a side effect of being chronically online, are adhering to the belief that life, as we know it, ends after one crosses the age of 25.
SUMMARY: A cold-hearted Demon remembers what it’s like to be human after falling in love with the one who stole his powers.
THIS SHOW HAS EVERYTHING: Supportive PR employees, diabolical chaebols, powerful skinship, sham marriages, best friend butlers, sword dancing, Joseon flashbacks, tattoos, cropped suit jackets, cakes, clocks, disguised deities, full moon transformations, and the joy of just letting go and listening to your heart.
HOT TAKE: I didn't really love the start of this show, but its themes of loss and love really pulled on my heartstrings throughout. I didn't really love the ending either, but hey, its a love story and you get what you get. I will say though, Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung win the award for 'Couple with the Smoothest Skin I've Ever Seen in a Kdrama.'
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.
Just seen episode one and two of Gyeongseong Creature and I have to say Han So Hee chooses her characters well. Love me a tough, independent woman with a splash of emotional darkness.
I haven't seen Taehyung's Hwarang co-star and Wooga Squad member Park Seo Joon act before but I like the way he is embodying his character.......
....and the dynamic with Han So Hee, especially in the initial fight scene, is excellent so far.
Pretty disturbing concept, with the Japanese equivalent of Josef Mengele subjecting hundreds of unsuspecting victims to certain and gruesome death in his quest to create a perfect monster.
Great supporting cast too.
Kim Hae-Sook also currently appearing in My Demon.
