A simple refreshing drama:)
I loved the cast and story wise everything was balanced. Some people might feel there were a lot of unnecessary scenes or fillers or that it was draggy, but I feel like these scenes were the ones that added depth to the story. It's not conventional for a kdrama hence the unpopularity in Korea. But otherwise the acting was splendid, chemistry was just PERFECT and romance was top notch. This drama lived up to its genre!!!And the past life trope was well played out and I would more appropriate and connecting for this storyline. It was not just like "oh I loved you in the past so I have to love you now" kind of this. There was good flow and reasoning to why it is how it is. This is the first couple in a kdrama that has been intimate throughout the episodes, at least longer than some other dramas. Like bed scenes, sleeping together, having conversations, hugs and small kisses. You dont see this often.
I am definitely going to watch it again^.^

This was my first kdrama and it was such a wonderful journey. I enjoyed it so much. I used to wait for the episodes. I loved the characters. Main leads' chemistry is soo beautiful- "So it was match made in hell,not in heaven."
The comedy is much off ,even the supporting actors at Do DoHee's office have not much to add to the plot or humor for this drama. But there are few moments - like GuWon defending him being demon by slandering the other mythical ones was just so funny -"Old dragon king","Beefy smurf genie", "Mosquito vampire", "Pokemon", "Lowly goblin" and The married couples' fight- "I had a fight with Do DoHee and She's been playing hymns and chants from all religions all day."
There was a scene where there were small vacuum cleaner in shape of puppies -It was soooo cuteee.
After watching it the second time my thoughts are mostly similar. The sprinkler kiss scene is absolutely heaven-its so beautiful and aesthetic, even the bts to this scene is so hot and lovely. The antagonist is creepy as hell and amazing. I enjoyed the take regarding Abraxas and the bird. As a reader of "Demian" by Hermann Hesse, it was interesting to watch how they will interpret its meaning. Song Kang playing the demon was both hot and funny. Kim You jung is just amazing as always, she always gives justice to the characters she acts. The major twists and secrets were also interesting even thought it's repetitive. There are many beautiful scenes - Their first meeting, the sprinkler kiss, the umbrella scene, the butterfly one, beach scenes, photo studio one , Jeong Gu-Won saving Do-DoHee both times and in all her life, the demon being obsessed with couple things and the famous Tango scene- it was sooooo beautiful and amazing. It is actually an interesting and entertaining drama . A must watch.
Despite its few flaws I am giving it a full stars because I love this drama.

Here me out...demon hubby.
Do Do-Hee is a queenI absolutely adored this show! Every ending of each episode had me wanting to watch more and more…until I finished the show. I am actually so sad that the series is finished just because I loved it so much. The scenery? Beautiful. The music? Perfect. The characters? I thought that the characters all had a key purpose in the show, meaning I enjoyed how they were and how they ended up.
And OH MY LORD THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THE LEADS. They had more chemistry than the periodic table. Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung did an amazing job of showing the love and devotion that grows between the 2 main characters. I loved the slow burn at the beginning and all the cute moments they had as a married couple. THE TANGO SCENE WAS MY FAVORITE SCENE!!!! I'm a sucker for choreographed scenes and agh I just love it so much. I loved that they also had shared lives in the past.
Like I said above, Do Do-Hee is queen. I was never annoyed with her throughout the series. I just loved that she was a strong, confident, independent woman and an amazing and caring wifey at the end. Like girl has a caring husband AND a successful business? She ate frfr.
Jeong Gu-Won by far made me laugh the most. Like his mannerisms and silly scenes actually made me laugh out loud. I loved his little minions he obtained half-way through the show too. His character development was good. He started out as your average rude and self absorbed male character, and while he still had some of those tendencies at the end, he ended up caring about the people around him and definitely softened up.
Now I am going to talk about some of my favorite side characters! I loved the butlers for the leads, they are just so silly! Their romance was also cute to watch as time went on. The mafia group was also hilarious. How they ended up in the end with the restaurant and their boss was just pleasing to see. The co-workers at Do-Hees office definitely added to the humor, but I was never really annoyed with them.
The villain was your average crazy rich abuser father. Nothing too special but definitely hella scary at times. #savehisfamilyplease
Music was perfect.
One thing I mildly disliked was the ending/last episode. I expected more to happen with the episode being an hour, but it was a good way to end the show.
I sobbed the entirety of episode 15.
Final thoughts:
I love love LOVE this show! Every actor did an amazing job portraying the characters perfectly. Definitely my favorite drama so far. I wish I could go back and rewatch it for the first time because it was just that magical to me. If you like a slice of life with a twist, this show is for you. I could go on and on about this show but this review would go one forever. This is the show I would recommend to my friends. PLEASE WATCH THIS! Live laugh love My Demon.
Thanks for reading!

THE DRAMA OF THE CENTURY!
Everything about this drama was exceptional. The acting, the story, the music, the production—simply everything. It's sweet yet thrilling, a perfect romantic comedy. It gave me butterflies, had me on the edge of my seat, and even made me sob; not just crying, but full-on sobbing. I would highly recommend this K-drama, especially if you enjoy dramas like "Business Proposal" and those involving fake/contract marriages.And can I just say, Song Kang in this series! We got to see a whole new side of him, showcasing his incredible acting skills. Lastly, I must emphasize the chemistry between the main leads – it's like a chef's kiss. Their love feels so authentic, elevating the series to another level.
GO WATCH IT.

Goblin feels ??
I am a super fan of Kim Yoo Jung I almost watched all of her dramas and movies because she is very good and effective in everything that she does. I am not a super fan of Song Kang after this drama I kinda like him ( I also like him in Sweet Home).I love how the story runs, loved the love-hate relationship at first that turns into you against the world relationship. The Gu Won really loves Do Hee that he will do anything to please her I also loved their backstop or their past life that they are really lovers.
I like that Gu Won really never gets old eventhough he is a beyond ages because he is the demon just like goblin.
They have the same pain that we feel when the guy disappears because of the sacrifice in order for the girl to live.
I super loved this drama, they never lose the touch of romantic comedy. You will loved it as much as I did. Both have a good chemistry together ❤️

I love the cast
I love the meaning of the story it tells about love and forgiveness, it tells about faith vs Fate
I love how the actors give justice to their characters
Overall it is worth to watch all over again
Song Kang's character fits well as a Demon
At first it is somehow awkward to watch the idea of Demon as a main role of the series, but along the way, it talks about religion, Christianity and faith
It also talks about the your destiny,
The sequence of events is very interesting, there are so much connection in each character, what is important is that the forgiveness they give... Redemption and Salvation,
Also the later part I like the idea of Seok Hun being the chairman
In terms of Kim yoo Jung's character, wow I've waited for this, I really like Yoo jung as an actress...this project is big and it is fit for her

A Missed Opportunity: When a Promising Drama Falls Short
What's the target age group for this drama? Is it 13 to 18? The plot, actions, and dialogues of the characters are so childish and illogical that it's hard to believe it wasn't meant for that age range. Given a story about a centuries-old demon and a young, successful CEO caught up in a murder plot while the dealing with diminishing power, you'd expect a thrilling, suspenseful tale with lots of unexpected twists. Instead, we get clingy dialogues, endless flashbacks/slow motions, and main characters who are always outsmarted by not-so-clever villains.The leads are undeniably stunning and have great on-screen chemistry. However, Kim You Jung seems too young for this role. She lacks the depth to convincingly play a successful CEO and comes off as a kid playing dress-up. As for Song Kang, it's a shame his role allowed him to be a wicked demon for only one episode; the rest of the time, he's just love-sick. The supporting cast didn't stand out either.
Ultimately, this drama doesn't quite deliver the depth and excitement you'd hope for from such a promising premise. Even though it starts with an intriguing plot and visually appealing leads, the execution misses the mark, leaving viewers feeling like something's missing. The show struggles to balance its supernatural elements with a coherent, mature narrative, making it a missed opportunity. If you're looking for a gripping and well-structured story, this drama might not meet your expectations. It’s a reminder that good looks and star power aren't enough to carry a story that lacks substance and depth.

I cannot even begin to explain the amount of emotions I felt throughout this series. It was a rollercoaster from the beginning and I never knew how I would feel each week. It was not very original at all in any sense, super cookie cutter, nothing that I have not seen before. Plus, the series started off strong. Super comical, made me laugh so much… but it dragged on so much after the first 5 or 6 episodes. I think this would have been better at 12 episodes rather than 16 due to the amount of filler added. Also, even though I absolutely dislike sad endings, I was actually a little irritated with the fact that this was a happy ending.The one thing I won’t complain about is that OST. Oh my the OST. One of the best I have ever heard in a series. I constantly am found listening to it when not watching the show.
My favorite character or characters of the series were the Wild Dogs Gang! Or should I call them Perilla Seeds & Scallions? Whenever they had a scene in the series, even though they were very unnecessary as I do not remember them actually helping at any point except for when searching for Gi Kwangchul, I would crack up with laughter. I think out of everything in this series, I will miss them the most.

Beautifully Crafted with Depth and Imagery
This was a very interesting series that held my attention from beginning to end. At first, the story seemed as though it might become an ordinary girl meets boy...or better said....girl meets demon, girl falls in love with demon...love story. But as the story unfolds, the twists and turns, the subplots and side stories, create a world of fantastic imagination embellished with beautiful imagery.I will make this review short and to the point. It was beautifully scripted. The juxtaposition of the present with the Joseon period of Korea gave the series an unexpected...and masterfully crafted...depth.
There will always be people who cruelly criticize....berate....brilliant series. Perhaps such vitriol gives them a sense of unbridled power over the actors. Perhaps it gives them a sense of ultimate control not only over the production but of the world of viewers themselves. For whatever illogical reasons these people choose to dismantle works of cinematic art, just ignore them. If the trailer beckons you, follow it...follow the series to its end. You will not regret my advice.
