It was a surprising show!
Not, because the plot isn't predictable. Even tho there were some elements that actually surprised me, but there are shows that are even tho they're predictable, it's still fun, have a real meaning. My Demon is not the best show on Earth, but they didn't complicate the story too much, didn't stretched out anything for no reason, like many Kdrama does. Basically every character is lovable, funny, and the villains are not 1-dimensional.The writing isn't the best, but it's consistent, there's no unnecessary drama. Everything that the characters are doing is understandable. The chemistry between Kim You Jung and Song Kang is top-notch, every actor did their best. Honestly, it's quite surprising that most characters actually developed into a better one.
The best part, at least for me, is that there's no stupid love drama, no crazy love triangle or anything like that. The past life story was great too, but it could've been a bit longer.
I LOVED how Ga Young's story "ended", her character development is probably the best!
Like I said, the show surprised me with some of its twists, but overall it's still predictable, but this is the prime example when it can't ruin the enjoyment.
I loved the message of the show as well: Nothing as simple as you may think. Everything has two sides.
I think, this is the meaning of the show.
This show deserve the hype for sure, but don't expect too much, this is just a good, thrilling show with well-written characters and love story.

Not bad but not good
It's an easy watch, no need to use your brain at all. Probably a good way to destress.Plot
The writing is not amazing, but it's not so boring that I would drop it. As other reviews already mentioned, it's a mix-and-match of your favourite typical cliches. NOTHING AGAINST CLICHES, I like them.
Cast
Amazing visuals from the main cast, Song Kang and Yoojung, and they have amazing chemistry in my opinion (I mean what else can I say?) Acting is great.
Music
Amazing setlist omg, I would totally add the OSTs to my Spotify playlist. The opening theme is catchy and well. Tiktok speaks for itself.
Rewatch value
Rated it kinda high because I think it's really easy to just throw this on and enjoy it.

i love the series and i would fully recommend it.
i normally dont watch kdrama with romance when its one girl and one man as often the girl is made in a way I don't like. but in this series she was shown as an independent woman from start. even if the body guard thing maybe makes her own power less but I feel like it didn't take away how she is. i fully recommend watching it. i will rewatch it one day. Its my fav kdrama romanceWas this review helpful to you?
It grew on me
I'm glad I watched this show. I don't know why because it's full of tropes and some moments or plot points weren't convincing – some parts were laughable because of how convenient they were to the plot. I wanted to drop the drama after 2 or 3 episodes but I kept on watching because I love the two main leads and every show they've been a part of.And SOMEHOW the things that annoyed me the most about the show (exaggerated "charicature comedy" like with the butler and the employees, KYJ not really fitting her "cold CEO" role IMO, trope after trope, not that strong of a chemistry between the two leads...) slowly improved. I probably just matched my expectations to what I was watching and got used to the style of the show. Once I accepted it for what it was it got better and I ended up enjoying many aspects, such as how the main leads evolved over time as individuals and in their relationship, the suspense that was predictable but still fun to watch, the relationships between the "villains", the play with the ideas of good and evil and the aesthetic of the show. I'm glad I had time to binge-watch it though because I would have dropped it had watched it as it came out or couldn't skip forward certain parts.
And how stunning are SK and KYJ? Like damn, they suit each other so well TT

it was okay, but imo a bit overhyped?
The storyline was quite okay, I kind of like the supernatural stuff, so a demon was a nice choice. The chemistry was definitely there and the leads were leading. Maybe it's my fault that I gave a rather lower rating because I did not finish this kdrama in a one watch, I had like uhhh 6 months between 14 episodes and the last 2 episodes. So maybe if I watched this is one go it would've hit harder.One problem I had with this drama was that it was kind of predictable?
Anyways it was still fun and the side characters were fun af as well.

♡ ‧₊˚ ⋅ ౨ Honest Review ৎ ‧₊ .ᐟ
˗ˏˋ I just recently finished this drama today after putting it off for a while. I loved all the characters, especially the main characters. Do Do-Hee and Gu-Won are a match made in heaven.. well, hell. I thoroughly enjoyed the drama, however, I will say that the drama started to feel rushed as it progressed, especially the last few episodes. An example I’d like to use is when Noh Seok-min showed up after supposedly “committing suicide.” Instead of explaining how he ended up alive, it was never explained. He now has a deep hatred for both Gu-Won and Do Do-Hee and will do everything in his power to put an end to them. To do so, he kidnaps Do Do-Hee and hurts her to lure Gu-Won to his location. This entire scene felt so rushed to me because one second he’s showing up, determined to end them both and then the next he’s already nowhere to be seen on screen. Do Do-Hee ends up dying in Gu-Won’s arms after being severely injured by a gunshot wound, but Gu-Won sacrifices himself to save her life, fading away into nothingness. That doesn’t last long, however, because now he’s suddenly back! Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed this drama a lot, I just have a bone to pick towards the end. For the most part, it was climactic, the acting was amazing from everybody involved, the characters are easy to fall in love with, and the romance is top tier. I definitely would recommend this to anybody and if you’ve been thinking of watching it I’d give it a shot! Although I need to knock off points for the rushed feel towards the end, It’s still a great drama nonetheless. ´ˎ˗Was this review helpful to you?
I want Song Kang as my demon boyfriend
Loved this! Watched it for Song Kang but fell in love with the series and with You Jung! So happy it was as popular as it was! Loved seeing everyone talk about it as it was airing and loved to be a part of that. The chemistry between the main two was out of this world!! I need these two in series together again. I loved the story and could've watched so much more!Was this review helpful to you?
A silly demon and his, frankly, badass wife
I enjoyed this story. I can understand why some people might feel put off by the plot development, but it seems unfair to label it as bad simply because some viewers might overlook its shortcomings in favour of the main leads’ beauty.My Demon effectively serves its purpose as a romance drama centred around a human woman and a demon.
The plot is indeed simple: after they accidentally transfer his powers to her, he decides to stick around until they eventually fall in love. Does the story drag at times? Yes. However, it is also wholesome and beautiful, featuring some impressive effects.
To be honest, it isn't that deep. Just enjoy the visuals and the action; it's well-developed and entertaining enough to pass the time.

Cute Little Drama - Easy Casual Watch
Out the gate I'm a fan of FL Do Do Hee (Kim You Jung) because I thought she was cute and funny in Backstreet Rookie. I think the ML Jung Koo Won (Song Kang) is surprisingly likeable for the devil. I definitely feel like the guy from Doom would be better suited. Although I didn't like Doom and found their chemistry to be 0% which is weird because Park Bo Young has chemistry with everyone!)Oh, and I recognized Joo Chun Sook's actress (Kim Hae Sook) from Room No. 9! Also, Do Do Hee's lawyer, Shin Da Jeong (Seo Jung Yeon) and Jung Koo Won's assistant, Park Bok Kyu (Heo Jung Do) were super adorable, too.
As for the story, I think it's alright. Sadly I didn't have much 2 lead syndrome for Joo Seok Hoon (Lee Sang Yi). His heart just didn't seem in it (not as an actor but his character with hers.) I don't think they gave him much to work with. Also I'm sorry but Jin Ga Young (Jo Hye Joo) was pointless. Her character simply didn't need to exist. They didn't sell their background enough for her to need to be a part of this. She's just there to fill the 2nd lead syndrome on the female cast.
Overall it's an okay little drama. Noh Suk Min (Kim Tae Hoon) and Noh Do Kyung (Kang Seung Ho) did an amazing job at being so convincingly evil that it actually made my blood pressure rise. lol
I set out to find a sort of dramatic, sort of funny, middle of the road drama that wasn't too involved and I think this one nailed it.

Review from all aspects
Overall it was a nice drama to watchIt reminds you of how dramas used to be when you first started to watch dramas . It's a very standard plot , they met something happens and you see how they deal with the situation and then the end . It has it's comedy part and it's nice ost and music. The romance was a bit " intense " at first but it went on smoothly ( which put me off a bit , but that's my opinion).As for the action part it was nice but I have watched better stuff (personal opinion here) but you may like it . The acting was goodd and the outfits were perfect. Furthermore you could tell that the cinematography was about to be professional.I would rate this 7/10 only because there was no big plot twist that would make the story a bit more interesting. It's a nice smooth fantasy romance so I think you should give it a try since you don't have anything to lose.
