Meu Demônio Favorito (2023)

“You are my fate that I cannot defy”

“Even if my feelings for you make me insignificant and weak, you are my fate that I cannot defy”

My Demon is the story of two people who are bound by fate who will eventually fall in love but their circumstances won't let them be together. This trope has been used so many time but My Demon has a way of making it feel new. The storyline is nothing extraordinary but its balanced. Its filled with the necessary amount of romance, angst, fluff, comedy and tension.

I have no words for the casting of My Demon except that its perfect. Everyone did a really good job. In romance dramas like My Demon, if there is no chemistry between the leads, it never works. But Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung's chemistry makes this drama so much better.

The antagonists of My Demon are great at adding the tension and fear to this drama. They have a way of making you annoyed and even creeped out at times. Kim Seol Jin as Gi Gwang-chol and Kang Seung-ho as Noh Do-gyeong are great at creeping me out. Everytime they appear on the screen, I feel strangely uncomfortable.

My Demon has a great soundtrack. Whenever Wherever by Roy Kim and Say You Love Me by Sam Kim are my favourite as of now. And Jeong Guwon and Do Do hee's scenes with Our Night is More Beautiful Than Your Day by New Jeans feels comforting. It mostly plays during the soft romantic scenes and that song makes it better. The opening OST True by YOARI has my heart.

One of my favourite thing about a fantasy drama are the magical elements. I feel so dramas forget to add those elements or sometimes does a bad job at adding those elements. However, My Demon definitely knows how to add those elements. Even though there aren't many, the scenes that has those magical elements are still printed in my mind. It knows how to make a scene look beautiful.

Gu Won is Pretty Do Hee's Perfect Demon!!!

I stayed up all night on the west coast to watch the 1st episode that aired at 6:30am PST!
Contain Spoiler!!!
When it comes to visuals I think this is Song Kang's best look in a K-Drama, his intro
scene was mind blowing with him walking in a long black hood cape (200 years ago) where he visited
a catholic place of worship, he placed his 5 fingers in a bowl of water to create flower petals then it formed
a stem of rose which he used to ignite his powers. After, the camera went closeup (4:34 mins) capturing a profile
shot of his head/face which was so beautiful and all I'm thinking if a devil can look so pretty I would
be fooled easily if I don't focus on his intentions lol. I was melting away in the early morning, The way his hair
was styled very textured with the hair dangled on his forehead which appear like a wet look, His under eyes had
a soft reddish look which made him look even more mysterious in a provocative and appealing way.
No other Demon character has outshined Song Kang as Gu Won!!!

Kim Yoo Jung looks very gorgeous as Do Do Hee and she fits the role as FL with Song Kang as ML.
Do Hee character is a rich girl princess like and she plays her role very well. I really could not get
enough of the beauty. So while it's fresh on my head I want to write a little review that this Drama
Series looks promising and the preview for Ep2 look like a lot of fun parts.

Jung Koo Won bargains with humans and at the 10 years deadline they die and go to a spiritual realm
then come back to work for him. On the same day in 2023, Jung Koo Won reserved a restaurant to eat alone,
Instead, Do Do Hee's adopted mother's fixed up a blind date for her that got mixed up with the restaurant
and that was how she met Gu Won. Later in the episode an incident happened where someone tried to
kill Do Do Hee and Gu Won was looking for his prey and went to save Do Do Hee from the attacker.
But first Do Do Hee need to make a deal with Gu Won. They both fell in the water escaping the attacker
where his powers were transferred to Do Hee under water. That was where Ep1 ended and will find out how
things will unfold for the beautiful Demon and pretty Do Hee. I hope Jung Koo Won gets back his powers lol.
It will be fun to see Gu Won powerless around Do Hee as well.

I couldn't help but notice the great quality of the editing and VFX so seamlessly done along with the beautiful
cinematography that captured the scenes beautifully and you can tell this was a very high budget Drama to make.

I recommend to give it a watch, you will laugh a lot too, the writer have come up with a strong theme, very original.
Like how can you make me sit and watch a beautiful demon drama? What I love about this drama, the writer makes
it very straight forward to follow, no entanglement and confusion. It is simply as that. I recommend to rewatch EP1
as it contained what the Demon did with the flowers and may have a part to play throughout the series.

I will update along the way ❤️‍?

After watching episode 9 & 10 only if I could rate it more than 10 out of 10!
SPOILER!!!
Gu Won regained his powers yippy!!!! I won't say which episode but it was MAGNIFICENT!!!
Gu Won is Do Hee's Perfect Demon! and this drama is my weekend therapy...❣️

THE ACTORS CHEMISTRY!!!!! ?

I'm a kdrama binge watcher it helps me forget my regular stressful life. And I watch all kinds of kdrama from horror to romantic. This kdrama reminds me of doom at your service. At the beginning it's all a transaction between both protagonist but slowly it turns into real love. Yes it's a kind of deja vue, but I can say this one had all kinds of styles it had mystery, fantasy, romance but also comedy which I found myself giggling and laughing like a school girl. I loved how depending on a life situation you and anyone would make a deal with a demon if it could turn your life around for the better !. Yes it's all cliche, but I think you will find that in everything from tv series to movies now a days the ideas are often recycled and cliche it's just how the actors deliver it that makes a difference and here they deliver well. You can feel the connection the love between the protagonist,you can almost touch it you can relate to some situations and almost want to sign that contract I sure would!i enjoyed it.
This kdrama is amazing. It has literally everything fantasy, comedy, romance, suspense, mystery and even more. The plot is also very good too, i highly recommend this kdrama!! The actors are very good and it has an interesting story n stuff. Every episode had something shocking and none of them were boring which i really liked. The chemistry between kim yoo jung and song kang is so undeniable too!! This kdrama is like an enemies to lovers thing i love it sm. The OST is also very nice and good in my opinion, also the KISS SCENESSS THEY DIDNT COME HERE TO PLAY WITH THE KISS SCENES OMLLL no one is talking ab the kiss scenes bro like in most kdramas their lips barely even touch but THIS kdrama had amazing kiss scenes. I rate this kdrama a 10/10 fsfs!!
All I can say this drama is a masterpiece ,story line is so refreshing the all actors and actresses are excellent they played very well in there characters .. the visual fx i so amazing my mouth is open every time I saw something new ..the song gives goosebumps everytime I listened ...what great work ..so happy they gave use the Happy ending that Songkang and kimyoojung they deserved and us viewers that we deserved .... so sad that Mydemon end this week no more sleepless nights on Friday and Saturday after work..Best kdrama 2024 My Demon .. congratulations to all involved in this beautiful drama all your hard work paid off.

Worth Watching

I begin watching this drama since episode 1 and the story become more interesting as the episode goes on. At first, I didn’t understand why Gu Won see humans as insignificant. He make deals with people who are desperate for a wish so they could give him their souls in return (a contract that will put humans in hell) I asked myself, is he really not a villain? He doesn’t care if a parent go to hell wishing their kids to be healthy and fine. However, I realized this is the moral of humans. We humans are selfish and we want something that is out of our control. Gu Won knew the greediness of human Nature so he thinks humans are insignificant.

Gu Won became a demon because in his past, he lost the woman he loved… the selfish of human nature being greedy for their lives and sacrifice another. Gu Won had to see her being killed and went rampage.

I understand why Gu Won had to think of humans that way because a villain is not born but created. People might think he is evil because he is a demon but his past made him that way.

I love it when Gu Won recite the Bible verse in episode 15. In the past, he couldn’t get married to the woman he loved because of different status/rank. Falling in love with someone in upper rank could cause you to get killed. This is why the two couple came to love Catholicism (the reason why Gu Won had a cross necklace).

“Everyone is born equal no matter where they come from or what their rank are”

Overall, I enjoy this drama being mystery and triller into it. Both the ML and FL are great actors. Their chemistry and their beautiful faces made the drama more aesthetic and enjoyable. I started to ship these two main leads. Age doesn’t matter <3

PERFECT

I don’t really know where to start. This drama just ended having me bawling my eyes out and smiling like crazy.
I’m going to be honest I didn’t think I was going to like it at first. A story line that isn’t really my kinda thing. But when I saw Song Kang it made hope for it being an good series. And oh my it was.
The casting is just chef kiss, is really a cast that I want to see again. They all were so amazing.
The whole series got me laughing and smiling like crazy. I didn’t like think Song Kang would fit this kinda series but with his acting is just a big YES. He played so well and made Guwons character so great. Such a funny and serious character at the same time I loved it. But this series also made my eyes hurt from bawling. Youjung is such an amazing actress and you could really feel all her emotions from the start to the end.
The chemistry between the two were amazing.
Not just the romantic side of this drama we’re amazing but the dark side. Such a dark side of a romantic series. But I really liked it having one, it made it become more interesting.
And like I really thought about SangYi character being evil? But he weren’t.. I really had like a theory that he were but I’m legit happy he wasn’t. Maybe he wasn’t my favourite.

Overall it was a really good series. A lil bit of everything. Such a good drama and 100% worth the watch!

Demon boyfriend? I meeaaannnnn…

Listen, the name of the show kinda gives away what this show is about.

‘My demon’, yeah its the main characters demon!! Her hubby to be exact.

Fake arranged marriage and supernatural trope along with enemies to lovers trope mixed in, and they did it well actually!

The story itself or I guess the show overall isn’t anything special on its own, the plot is pretty basic and most things that happen are very predictable (at least for me).

The characters that get introduced in the show are either very likable or not likeable at all- no in between. But the people you don’t like at first get a very nice development and become likable. Its a sweet story but it does get a tiny bit boring. Most of the time I had to have something in the background playing to keep me from being bored.

But besides that, the main couple were so adorable! Like sickly sweet adorable ooohhh??? they made me jealous so many times, giddy too! The actors definitely have a lot of chemistry with each other and its very obvious.

Show is a pretty basic K-Drama, its not bad but its nothing special either. Give it a watch if you’re curious about it!

My Demon Is A Very Cute And Enjoyable Ride

Hello, this is my first review! Hope I can express myself well and do some justice to this drama.

When I first heard of My Demon, I was looking forward to it not only because I found the premise interesting, but mostly because of Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung. After finishing it, I think that although generic and cliché, the drama did not disappoint to deliver according to my expectations.

— STORY

I watched it weekly so that might've helped me go through the drama without any issues like getting boring or feel like it was slowing down. I'm thankful for that because I'm not sure I would've felt the same if I had binged.

Although I enjoyed the drama, the plot wasn't anything new or even great for that matter.

I really enjoyed the series as a whole and only had an issue with one episode. The flow of it felt odd, felt a little rushed and unnatural. I remember it being the only time the music also did not hit properly, not to mention the end of the episode which felt cheap and forced. I won't go into more details as to not ruin expectations.

— CHARACTERS

This is the best part of the drama, by far! I mean specifically Do Do Hee and Gu Won. Their chemistry and characters were so much better than I had ever imagined, they're so sweet together!

Gu Won is such a great and charismatic character. His demeanor and presence were fitting of a Demon! He knows how to be serious when it needs to and how to be hilarious when needed too.

Do Do Hee is extremely charming and mature. I love how she went about handling the issues, and Gu Won. Kim Yoo Jung is not only one of the most beautiful actresses, but one of the most talented as well. Her acting in times of suffering and in times of joy were phenomenal.

Every time Gu Won called her name while looking like a happy puppy, my heart would melt. The way they both looked at each other was everything. Do Do Hee's smile could lit up an entire city block!

About the other characters, I think they fulfilled their part well but it wasn't anything great or worth mentioning.

— VISUALS

From the shots, to the outfits, to the CGI, I believe everything was the best it could be. Everything and everyone looked so beautiful. I have nothing major to complain about and I have not noticed anything that was too off-putting either. Just some odd CGI effects here and there.

— MUSIC

The music was one of the best parts of the show, alongside Gu Won and Do Do Hee. They played the right songs at the right moments (most of the time) and they perfectly helped build emotion as they should. Not only they were beautiful but also very memorable. The opening song is iconic, it's not something you can easily get out of your head or stop yourself from singing it. It's fantastic!

— RATING

My Demon is not perfect or a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable if you know what you want and don't mind some clichés. If you want to have fun and swoon over an extremely adorable couple, this is for you!

It didn't make me absolutely bawl my eyes out like other dramas, but I did get emotional at the right times and that's all I can ask for a good drama. I think the strong part was how happy and in awe I was by watching Gu Won and Do Do Hee together. They're perfect!

My overall personal rating for the show is a 9.4/10.

DEFINITELY A RECOMMENDATION

this drama has my heart. the story line is so good as well as the drama itself. The characters are really good looking as well which captures attention wanting to watch it!


it’s honestly such a cute drama with a bit of suspiciousness as a lot of stuff is happening when it gets to the middle of the kdrama. whoever sees this review I definitely recommend watching this if u have nothing to watch or are looking to watch something in general. this kdrama will straight away capture ur attention when u watch through it.

also the first episode may not be as good but I promise u it’s getsss wayyyyyy bettterrr I promise. because I was like that too when I first started it I got bored by the first episode but then I got addicted to it and still am!!

When Sacrifice is the Tie that Binds

This is a very cinematic drama. It has the thrill, romance, comedy and heartache all in one. The ML and FLs chemistry was palpable and enchanting. The second couple was amusing and capable within their roles. The villians almost brought a 'Friday the 13th' vibe to the series. Yet the pace and tension of it all kept you wanting more. It was refreshing to see both of these leads with a good script 'finally' with great delivery. The tenderness within this series was just right. The OST was perfect in capturing key moments. The concept has been done before.... Nevertheless, this was worth the ride and a must watch. Well Done, Song Kang, Kim Yoo Jung, Production, Cast and Crew!

Good fantasy romance with electrifying chemistry between leads .

My review will be a comprise of what I liked the most and the least about My Demon:

✅️ As a fantasy enthusiast, I loved the fantasy aspect in this drama. A demon who really use his superpower even it is just for small things like switch on the lamp or help in housekeeping lol.

☑️ I enjoyed most part of the storyline especially in the first half. The first 10 episodes was interesting and addicting enough to me. But things got draggy from episode 11 - 13 I started to skip alot especially side character's story . At this point , I find myself didn't care at all about the secretaries love story & Jin Ga Young plot line. The main couple scenes also became too cheesy for me to digest haha. Thankfully things started to get better when the angst part came again in episode 14 till the end. Those last 3 episodes were a total tearjerker to me .

☑️ Average villain plot line .Nothing you have not seen before in a crime and family feud based drama.

✅️ The chemistry between Kim Yoo Jung -Song Kang was sooo lit! The eye contacts, skinships, how comfortable they acted around each other, all the jokes and teases ... Like they're really in love with each other. I'm not surprise if later we get a dating news of them haha.

✅️ Acting from all cast were good. I've first known Kim Yoo Jung as a child actor in Dong Yi . I liked her acting in that drama then I watched her in Moon Embracing the Sun , May Queen , Angry Mom & Love in the Moonlight. Watching her here made me think my girl has grown up , how fast time flies . Now she's eligible to get her own bedroom scene too lol. Anyway I enjoyed her acting all the same here. I could feel all her agony, sadness and her crying scenes made me cried with her too . Her young age & youthly visual to play a 28 years old Do Do Hee does not bother me much here because her great acting concealed if not all most of it. About Song Kang ,this was my second drama of him after Sweet Home. He didn't impressed me in that drama but I quite enjoyed his acting here. He did a good job in potraying a playful,cheeky and self-absorbed demon but very protective of a girl he likes. His great visual did help compensating what fell short from his acting lol.

✅️ Great OST. My favourites : True -YOARI and Say You Love Me - Sam Kim.

⭕️ My ratings for episode 1 -10 & 14-16 = 9/10 and episode 11 -13 =5/10.My final rating = 8.5/10.

I'll end my review with my favourite quote from the drama , " You humans love to blame fate for everything. But, fate is nothing more than a web woven by a myriad of choices of your making. " - Lady Beggar .
