Okay, as an American who lived abroad in Korea for years, Korean drama shows generally are a hit. This one is also a hit BUT I will say for a drama immersion show, the soundboard effects really killed it for me :( One moment I would be completely immerged in this show, it's got an amazing and convincing cast, a GREAT plot, good character build up but the moment you become completely enthralled, it hits you with cat fight noises in scenes and other such unique soundboard effects that would grip you back to reality ,going 'huh?'. It has the hype & buildup to be a HUGE hit on its own so I'm not sure why the creators decided this would make it better. So far though, this show has the buildup and plot to be as big as hit series The Walking Dead, but those sound effects need to go imo. One moment I feel as if I'm there, then random sounds like this pull me right back out.

Actually pretty fun
Trupiaar3 December 2023
40yo American Anime Fan, so I give all sorts of random stuff a go sometimes.
This is actually pretty fun from the first episode, even even if the K-Pop idolish thing was a little offputting for me at first (IDK, the atmosphere, the lighting, I never like that kind of look in western TV either).
The dialogue between the characters made me laugh a bunch of times, it felt fresh, kind of like if someone took a manga and made a good IRL adaptation, but there is no manga or comic as far as I know. I mention this, because it kind of has the feel of some of the good humour from some animes I like. The laughs land essentially in a way I'm familiar with.
1 ep in, going to keep going even though I'm probably not the target demo for this. It's worth a watch.

It's worth seeing, fascinating
genesis1818 December 2023
It has the best visual couple and with unmatched chemistry, the performance of the main actors is excellent, very convincing and full of emotion. This k-drama has everything: romance, comedy, fantasy, suspense, action, drama, mystery, etc. The plot of the story is very good and unpredictable, each chapter leaves you wanting more and more. The visuals of the main actors are beautiful, the cinematography is spectacular, the soundtrack is exquisite, the couple's costumes are very fashionable, the acting skills of the cast is worth seeing, there are many comic moments but also many full of tension. I highly recommend this k-drama, it has me totally hooked, everything is perfect and you will love it from the first chapter, it is in the top 10 worldwide and deserves 10/10 in every sense of the word.
My demon

Warning: Spoilers
First episode was really lovely and funny at the same time and I really enjoyed it. Cast was also my favorite and their acting was really outstanding and funny. Story was also really good and funny. So for me first episode is 10/10.
Spoiler ahead:- That part was really funny when he catched her and cake in the air and said that was close and she thought it was for her but it was for the cake and when she said I'm married with my work but when she saw his face she was literally speechless 😂. Literally I laughed so hard at that moment.
I hope this drama also have a happy ending.
Waiting for new episode.....

Deliciously Indulging
carmenman-779055 January 2024
The chemistry of these two visual lead is amazing. Whilst contract marriage is not a new concept, the twist in the story is refreshing and both leads bring onboard convincing portrayal of their roles. Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung stars in this drama, and their chemistry is off the charts. As with any k-drama there's always a twist with the story and My Demon is no difference in throwing romance, fantasy, twist of thriller and drama in the bag. Take it as a light- hearted K-drama and you will not be disappointed as many might had commented that both seem young to portray a CEO and a 200 year old demon, but hey it's a fantasy rom-com, so why not?

Visuals are big chefs kiss
hiumichella15 December 2023
I'm searching for a supernatural romance and tbh this is fulfilling for me. I don't care about the plot or how unlogical/logical this show is either. The visuals are mesmerizing and are the ones that attract people to watch and I kinda like some of the romance scenes. But sometimes the long ahh eye contact scenes with dramatic ost doesn't click with me as it kinda feels like it's exaggerated and cringe, but for me it isn't a big problem. This drama is making me excited for the next episodes even though idk what kind of story awaits in the future.
Tbh I have no problem with the FL swaying easily as in my opinion it is realistic, as I sway easily either, example when my bias is wrecked by another member of a certain group, or when i had a small crush on a certain someone then changes the next day(well no one knows about me having a very abnormal and crazy mind), I think it's okay as long as we're not overly confident about it. I just hope that the FL doesn't do any more embarrassing thing because of her being swayed easily, because sometimes I kinda see it coming😨 but for know it's not that deep.
I'm a fan of cliche stories as I just watched kdramas and I think this show is suitable for the ones who enjoys this kind of story. Okay sorry for my grammar and honest review, pls don't take is seriously. This is probably 8/10 for me and the eye contact scenes took -2 points from it (is it too much?😭) soooo thanks for reading.

Blergh not a good one
phoebegill9 January 2024
I have watched 20+ kdramas and I forced myself through 10 episodes of this but I can't do it anymore.
1. Extremely cliche plot, every cliche you can think of, I think I have seen every aspect of this story in another kdrama before, and can predict everything many many episodes before it happens.
2. Lack of chemistry between leads. I'm sure both of these actors are good separately but I don't see any real relationship between these two
3. Annoying male main character who isn't likeable. Arrogant, superficial, silly, what is there to like I don't know.
4. Not funny. I should just avoid Korean rom coms, the humour is very silly and unless that's your thing, just not enjoyable
5. Slow. Definitely feels like there are episodes where nothing happens, and nor do any of the relationships seem to deepen.

Meh
aamirayaseen21 January 2024
Warning: Spoilers
It seemed good at first. Recommended for someone who hasn't watched many kdramas. Because the plot is so worn out, it becomes predictable for someone who has watched other dramas about reincarnation.
1) The tragic past resembles 'Legend of the blue sea' So, I could guess that they had a sad ending in the previous life but they'll have a happy ending in the new life 2) Even the ending resembled Legend of blue sea. Female lead takes a bullet to save the male lead...meh too cliche 3) Male lead at first perishes but then returns...pretty much predictable. Just like goblin returns after perishing 4) Being reincarnated as a demon because he did many bad things in his life...this concept is the same as the grim reaper in 'The Guardian: lonely & great god' However, if someone is new to kdramas, they can watch it. But us old folks are bored of this worn out plot :)

A light yet profound romantic comedy
samandi827 November 2023
It's a visual that makes you want to keep looking. It may be a little childish, but I like watching dramas like this hahaha
I like the style of clothes that Song Kang wears in this drama. It's so cool, especially when she wears black clothes. It's only been 2 episodes, but it has captured my attention and heart. I'm going to watch it and I hope the rest of the episodes are fun too.
I was worried at first when Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung were cast, but they look great together.
As always, I want to enjoy romantic comedies with a light heart
I recommend it to others. It's so much fun.
I'll have fun watching it. Thank you Korea.

Good drama one time watchable! First few episodes were really good after that it becomes little bit boring but you can watch it.
The chemistry between the leads is too beautiful. They both are really good looking actors. And their acting was also good.
The plot is same as in another Fantasy dramas only little bit is different. You can enjoy the whole show it has some comedy elements which was really good.
Is it necessary to have past life story in every drama? I'm bored of that twist.
K directors and story writers plz think about different plot next time. Like me many people might be bored of that twist. We need something new.

Sinks like the Titanic...

...but at least the Titanic had a band.
MY DEMON is a series with no organizing theme. Is it about the migrating tattoo? A would-be killer on the loose? A dysfunctional family drama? What we get is a number of false starts that lead nowhere. It feels like too many writers were pulling this mess in different directions.
Hey, everybody--your homework is to read the green DEMON'S MANUAL. The rules keep changing, but it's got to be in there. Here's the question: Can demons be shot and killed--or not?
The attraction between the two leads is all about physical appearance. These generic lovers do generic things: he brings her flowers, they watch a horror movie, they ride a bike, she cooks, etc. Etc. I couldn't find any convincing individuality-or chemistry. In fact, it sure looked like Song Kang used his hand to block their first kiss.
And Do-Hee isn't the brightest cookie in the jar. It takes until Episode 14 for her to show the slightest curiosity about her husband's day job. She's horrified, of course, but she sure gets over it quickly. "Oh, you take the souls of desperate people who are then tortured forever? And one of them's my dad? No problemo."
And I'm sorry--because I really like him-Song Kang is totally miscast as a demon. For most of the series he's sweet and loving or having a fashion moment. He's just not the baddy the audience deserves. I blame the writers because Song Kang can ACT when he's got a good script (see Navillera).
The secondary characters engage in a lot of silliness that never adds up to a single genuinely funny moment. As for God, s/he just bloviates about all the things she can't do. No help there, though I have a feeling she'll come through in the end.
Later: I finished the series, and while a lot of the silly stuff was wrapped up, I can't see that anything important was resolved. A minor character is going to be damned for all eternity--someone who absolutely didn't deserve it. But no one in this series has a moral compass, so no one cares--as long as the big romance is saved. A lot of filler in the last two episodes. I was so ready for this one to end.

Just Keeps Getting Better
kgenereux-75-5335762 January 2024
I was really enjoying "My Demon" in an 8 out of 10 stars way, and then it kept geyting better and better. Episodes 9 & 10: Wherein "My Demon" takes on the mesmerizing glow of TV series genius. A visually explosive scene between a confused Demon (Song Kang) and the mysterious snaggle-toothed baglady blew me away. There is a big dose of cosmic philosophy entering the picture and it quite unnerved me. This is no ordinary Korean rom-com, that's for sure. I stayed for all the lingering doe-eyed "will they or won't they" gazes, the rockstar Demon's high stylin' wardrobe, the gleaming CGI frozen-in-time moments, and the unmasking of a human monster obssessed with a schmaltzy-eerie k-pop lovesong. But now I am suddenly pondering the meaning of life and contemplating the essence of Universe's Supreme creator. I've fallen 10 stars hard for this series now, but whether the final 6 episodes will remain mysteriously profound, or devolve into superficial cheesiness is "to be continued"...
Amazing Drama
dasbaishal7 January 2024

My Demon is a refreshing and hilarious take on the contract marriage trope, with a twist of fantasy and mystery. The chemistry between Kim Yoo-jung and Song Kang is undeniable, as they portray a bickering but adorable couple who gradually fall in love. The plot is fast-paced and engaging, with a balance of comedy, romance, and suspense. The supporting characters are also well-developed and add to the charm of the show. The production value is high, with stunning visuals and effects. The soundtrack is catchy and fitting for the mood of the scenes. My Demon is a must-watch for fans of K-dramas who are looking for a fun and heartwarming story with a touch of magic.

A Thrilling Journey into Love, Power, and Supernatural Intrigue
anaaannya9 March 2024
Embark on a whirlwind adventure with My Demon, the latest sensation to sweep the K-drama scene. Picture this: a contract marriage with an immortal demon, a sizzling tango in the streets, and our leads beating up goons with their combined special powers. Intrigued? You should be. This series is as fun as K-dramas get, offering a thrilling ride filled with chemistry, amusing banter, and well-timed humor.
Meet Do Do Hee, the CEO of Mirae F&B, a subsidiary of the formidable Mirae Group led by her strong adoptive mother, Ju Cheon Sook. When a disastrous matchmaking attempt leads her to a blind date with the 200-year-old Demon Jeong Gu Won, little does she know that her life is about to take a wild turn. A series of events binds them together, with Gu Won's tattoo - the source of his power - transferred to Do Hee.
As Do Hee and Gu Won navigate their newfound connection, tragedy strikes with the sudden death of Cheon Sook, leaving Do Hee to inherit the Mirae Empire under one condition: she must marry within a year. Thus begins a violent power struggle between Do Hee and her adopted siblings, who stop at nothing to prevent Mirae from slipping into her hands.
Determined to uncover the truth behind Cheon Sook's death and tired of being underestimated her whole life, Do Hee proposes a marriage of convenience to Gu Won. She'll inherit Mirae and gain a powerful bodyguard, while he'll retain access to his supernatural abilities.
But My Demon isn't your typical gloomy supernatural drama. Song Kang brings a refreshing twist to Gu Won, infusing the character with humor and mischief. Far from the brooding archetype, Gu Won is chaotic yet endearing, with a youthful energy that complements his demon status. Meanwhile, Kim Yoo Jung shines as Do Do Hee, exuding steely grace and intelligence as she navigates the complexities of her new role and relationship.
The chemistry between Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung is undeniable, igniting the screen with every interaction. Their dynamic portrayal of two seemingly different individuals who find common ground is electrifying and utterly captivating.
Not to be overlooked is Kim Hae Sook's portrayal of Ju Cheon Sook, whose character transcends stereotypes with her shrewdness and empathy, adding depth to the narrative.
While My Demon keeps viewers guessing with its intriguing plot twists and power struggles, it's not without its flaws. Secondary characters may feel one-dimensional at times, but they serve to enhance the central storyline.
In essence, My Demon may not be a profound love story like Hotel Del Luna or Goblin, but it doesn't aim to be. It's a modern, light-hearted take on supernatural romance that delivers entertainment, engagement, and impeccable execution. So, buckle up and immerse yourself in the world of My Demon - you won't regret it!

Warning: Spoilers
Now this is a standout. My top Kdrama for 2023. Ep 1 is soo good that I can't wait for the rest of the episodes. Currently on its 4th episode, this KDrama will keep you wanting for more. Great chemistry for the female and male lead. I hope the storyline will continue to be great too. Waiting to discover what Madame Ju has to do with the death of Do-hee's parents. Song Kang flawlessly plays his role and I think, he deserves to play the lead if there would be a sequel for Hotel del Luna with IU still the female lead (of course). It's the first time seeing him do a romcom but he nailed it tho. My happy heart.
How can a premise about a supernatural demon be 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.

Worn out plot
mauryvan134 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After four episodes, I'm surprised very many people are hanging with this Kdrama. Everything in it has been done to death.
1. Orphaned (female) lead. South Korea must lead the world in both (loving) parents dying in a tragic accident while their children are still young.
2. Chaebol adopts, orphan, which evidently happens to orphans in Korea almost as often as parents get killed in a car crash.
3. Chaebol family is horrible.
4. There's a demon. Happens all the time. The demon usually either has a boss who tells him/her the rules of being a demon, or in this case, has an instruction manual.
5. There's a psycho killer. Because every romantic comedy needs a psycho killer. But the psycho killer only makes random appearances as necessary to create opportunities for the male lead to rescue the female lead.
6. Orphan becomes the only nice person in the chaebol family and is incredibly successful.
7. executives in the orphan's company are a bunch of silly idiots. Because evidently it's very common to have a brilliant CEO supported by dimwits who are department managers or vice presidents. As successful as she is, I guess she wasn't able to hire all the brilliant graduates of Seoul National University.
8. Demon has silly sidekicks too.
9. The demon i.e. Male lead is a jerk at first but who wants to bet that he's going to learn something from the human and what do you think is gonna happen in the end?
We all know where this is going we all know where this has been. I assume that Kim yoo-jung will be able to star in K dramas for another 20 years. She deserves better than this.
The ratings in Korea have been low. I don't know why this has been receiving the high IMDB reviews that it has.
Turn this off and watch Because This is My First Life again.

This series is literally so amazing, the thing I loved most is the cinematography, it looks professional. Also, it is true that the story may seem repetitive and not new, but the writer was creative in writing the dialogues between the characters. It is not like other dramas that have dialogues that have no meaning. Here I feel that every dialogue is important, and the directing and photography are indescribable, and the chemistry between Song Kang and Yoo Jung is very wonderful. I am excited for the new episodes and I am waiting for Friday and Saturday for them. The couple has a healthy relationship so far. I loved them together, I hope to see them in another project!
Death and Life . Hard topic but big expectations from 'My Demon'.

Warning: Spoilers
Ok , so here are the views on my demon.
When i was searching on youtube i wrote 'my' and in suggestion i got 'my demon' . I got interested and clicked on suggestion. And then on netflix i saw it.
It wasnt bad. I watched episode 6 first and got curious . Then when i saw from the start , i loved the story.
Beauty catches the eyes but Character catches the heart.
This drama has both. Whole drama gives visual relief.
The Characters of main cast in the drama are very nice.
The main cast(4 in total as I saw on wikipedia) of My demon do natural acting like if each is really into the soul of each character of drama.
Speciality is that the show keeps big truths towards viewers.
Many things are kept in suspense.
Things like devil's heart change towards human emotions , greed of humans in their tough times , devil's past when he was a human , his transformation into devil ,etc. Are kept here ,some are in suspense.
Such things need big truths to be shown as a solution. If the drama gives those to the viewers, it will become a masterpiece because it will present the truth .
Truth makes you stronger. This drama can become stronger than any other drama.
All is well if end is well.
I gave 5 stars because only half story is before us.
The best is yet to come.
All the best.
THE ADVICE TO THE VIEWER IS THAT ENJOY THE DRAMA AND TRY TO FIND THOSE DEEP TRUTHS HIGHLIGHTED IN ITS STORY .
