Hot demon in a suit, cheesy kiss, and questionable CGI—watch for the laughs, skip the logic!
"My Demon : 8.5/10 – A Devilishly Fun (But Slightly Flawed) Supernatural Rom-Com"WHY IT’S CHARMING:
Song Kang as a smirking, suit-clad demon – He oozes charisma (and looks too good doing it).
The contractual love trope – Classic, but with a supernatural twist.
Kim Yoo-jung’s fiery chemistry with Song Kang – Their bickering is next-level entertaining.
THE "DEMONIC EYE ROLL" MOMENTS:
The CGI powers – Sometimes cool, sometimes video game cutscene.
The villain’s mustache-twirling evilness – Could’ve used more depth.
Episodes 10-12 slog – Pacing issues hit like a holy water splash.
STANDOUT SCENES:
The "possession kiss" – Cheesy? Yes. Iconic? Also yes.
The fashion – Song Kang’s wardrobe deserves its own fan club.
VERDICT:
"Like Lucifer meets Business Proposal—flirty, flashy, and just sinful enough to binge." Watch if: You love supernatural cheese, visual feasts, and will-they-won’t-they tension. Skip if: You demand tight plotting or realism (it’s about a hot demon, people).

My new favorite that beats all the classics including Goblin!
I love this drama. There are so many parts that were excellent. It has an great cast, amazing acting and the 2 leads had the best chemistry I've ever seen in a drama.The pacing of the drama was perfect, never felt there was filler or too many side stories. It all felt very well-rounded and consistent and everything was wrapped up neatly and didn't feel rushed near the final episodes. There was also tension that made you look forward to each episode. I will be re-watching this drama many times and can't wait to buy the behind the scenes DVD!
There was a tiny plot hole so I deducted half a point but other than that it was perfect.

My Demon dosent look like one
I never enjoy this drama though it has the most famous actress and actor as main casts. In life there is no such thing that will be like this drama and what I never like is a person lives so many years and to live with human. Ofcourse it is just a story but it is so faked that I stopped watching after Episode 10 and it is a drama I was not keen or looking forward to watch to the next epsiodes. It wasn't ineteresting to begin with and all the way it was and never will. And the main actress is more suitable to be in historical drama and I cannot enjoy this drama of hers. Anyway this is only my opinion and am not sure of others . I wont vote for this drama if I were to chooseWas this review helpful to you?
seen shows like this before but it’s still 100% enjoyable
the plot is quite simple and there is not anything truly special/crazy about main story. HOWEVER, the casting makes me 10 times more excited and they make the plot more interesting. I love the actors’ roles in this drama so far, and it definitely adds to the potential this drama is already giving!!Was this review helpful to you?
Best drama there is for romcom & fantasy.
I'm not much of a romance drama fan, I watched this because of Song Kang's awesome work on Sweet Home , wasn't expecting much since this was a romance drama but it piqued my interest the more I watched it & now I can't wait until they release a new episode. Really like how this is progressing. From cast to the crew everyone's doing a great job making this beautiful drama .Hope they will continue this for more seasons if there are more to told after Song Kang's return from 2 year military service. Highly recommended for those who are interested and not interested (Trust me you'll get hooked to this).Was this review helpful to you?

Started off Good but failed
I really looked forward to this drama. I was on edge of my seat watching the first episode but lord o lord this don't keep better. I lost interest to watch the drama it was really bad. MSL and FSL they didn't do it for me. I didn't feel like any of them are helping the story. But I'm glad I dropped it.Was this review helpful to you?

A COMPLETE PACKAGE OF EMOTIONS!
LETS TALK ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT I LOVED ABOUT THIS DRAMA!THE STORY!
The story was so damn good! all the characters were build in such way that either way they were connected to each other. The first meet when the tattoo transferred and the last episode scene when she wishes him back and he just appears there, these were such a memorable scene in the drama. Next it was soo good to see every characters backstory so smoothly without over exggagerating it!
THE CHARECTERS!
The demon : Can anyone complaint about song kang ! he's such a angel and his acting skills were super awesome in the drama! His savage moves , his smile had me at every moment! the way he calls do he "do do". super cute song kang...
Do do he : she was so good in the boss role ! the way she handles her elegance with a soft feminine touch i loved it . She slayed it.
THE OST:
addicting!!!! the title song gives goosebumps ! and all other song were soooo good.
OVERALL THE DRAMA WAS A HIT FOR ME BECAUSE I LOVED IT AND I WAITED FOR EVERY SINGLE EPISODE EAGERLY!!!

Loved it!
I loved this drama so much, it has everything, love, comedy, angst, stunning visuals and a very beautifull OST.The story is very good and interesting i wasn't bored for a single minute. I also really like how they used so much comedy in it without going over the top with the comedy part. I am not a fan of over the top comedy, but the way they did it in this drama was just so funny!! Just little gestures, sounds etc.
Kim You Jung and Song Kang are amazing actors and their chemistry is perfect! This was the second time i watched this drama and i will definatly watch it more times in the future.

The storyline for romcom is just too perfect for them
I love everything about this kdrama! It's got the perfect blend of romance, comedy, and thriller, along with a healthy relationship. The main leads look perfect together, and you can sense there's something more than friendship between them, especially in their behind-the-scenes moments. I hope they're both doing well and happy right now, and I secretly wish they end up together in real life too.Was this review helpful to you?
why i dropped my demon
i started my demon for the cast + hype (i love both the leads), and while it had its moments, it didn’t completely hit for me. the plot felt a little lackluster and predictable, and the shift between comedy and serious scenes was kind of jarring.the pacing itself was nice though — i’m always a fan of a slow burn/enemies-to-lovers type of vibe. the chemistry between song kang and kim yoo jung was amazing, and as a romance lover i thought their scenes together were super cute. side character wise, the sword star girl was annoying lol, but the butler and secretary duo had me laughing.
the visuals and music were beautiful as expected, but honestly once he got the tattoo back i started losing interest — it just got boring again. i ended up dropping it, but for what i did watch i’d give it a 7/10.

Leads couldn't keep me
Kim You Jung and Song Kang had really great chemistry that felt very natural throughout the drama. Their interactions were easily the strongest part of the series, and they carried many of the emotional scenes well.Kim You Jung as Do Do Hee portrayed the character extremely well. She perfectly embodied a confident and powerful career woman while still showing elegance and vulnerability when needed. Her screen presence was strong, and she made Do Do Hee feel mature and believable without overdoing the cold CEO personality.
Song Kang as Jung Gu Won definitely portrayed the mysterious aura of the character really well in the beginning. He had the charm, coldness, and supernatural presence expected from a demon character, especially during the earlier episodes when the drama focused more on the darker fantasy and thriller elements.
I never read the webtoon and so I don't know how it was for that, but I felt the comedy aspect didn’t work well with this drama. The humor often felt out of place and didn’t blend naturally with the darker and more serious tone of the story. Whenever the drama focused on the suspense, romance, or supernatural elements, it was much more engaging. The tonal shifts between comedy and seriousness sometimes made the pacing feel inconsistent.
One of my biggest issues was Jung Gu Won’s character development. He was introduced as this cold blooded and intimidating demon, but then suddenly became overly soft and completely blinded by love. The problem wasn’t necessarily the romance itself, but how fast the transition happened. It didn’t feel gradual or naturally developed, which made the character shift feel unbelievable. It almost felt like the writers changed his personality overnight rather than slowly building emotional growth over time.
I also felt the drama started taking a different direction around the halfway point. The earlier episodes had a stronger balance of mystery, fantasy, and tension, but later on the story leaned much more heavily into romance and melodrama. Because of that, some of the intrigue and excitement from the beginning started fading away for me. I ended up dropping the drama after episode 11 because the later direction just wasn’t as engaging as the earlier episodes.

Masterpiece but still not fully satisfied for one minor part
My Demon is a Iconic, Pure Masterpiece. It is Happy Ending but feeling Sad because it’s Complete now. My demon team has successfully made fans cry, laugh, and win their hearts❤️.Why I'm not fully satisfied?
⚠️ Spoilers Alert : It would have been more satisfying for me if Gu-won had become human at the end. Because it’s not clarify how he's gonna live after Do Do Hee's present life💔😓. He can't live without her for a moment. Anyway, That's writer decision, Some of fans are fully satisfied & Some of not. Missing My Demon 💔.
Completed on 22 January 2024. 3rd Day (24 January 2024) update of me after completed : Still could not recovered yet. Feeling so heartbreaking 💔. Because after being attached to a great show for so long and emotionally attached to the characters, I'm always heartbroken when it ends.
