Kdrama has returned to their former self!
The Glory I bet is a great drama (albeit I never seen it), Squid Game must also be a great drama, Reborn Rich, or Again My Life, or Sweet Home, they all must be great dramas. But they all have one thing in common. The darker, more serious tone, the school bullying plots, and revenge what not. I wish for a kdrama that gives me the same gushy mushy feeling I had watching my first kdrama, Strong Girl Boong Soon. And here we have it! My Demon!! A fun, probably cliche, visually appealing romantic drama!You gotta admit, the finger gun scene is really cool. And by words of cnetz, this movement is something C-actors might not be able to pull off without making it look cringey and greasy! The latin dance scene? even more! Such a cringe worthy scene, yet the leads were able to make it fun to watch. And can I say the ML's personality is just so much to watch? GuWan is such a drama king yet I love it so much. That's one of the best parts about him.
Also to those of you who thinks we're some immature teen or adult who never grew up, please go watch some academy winning works and dwell on this low trash. The cliche is what I enjoy about this. The cliche I feel so comfortable in. Sometimes in life, one needs a comfort zone to rest in. And if you need a break from all the tragedies and BE going on in other dramas, take a break and watch My Demon!

The overall story is good in my opinion though I wouldn't say the best. It did get me to anticipate the next episode. The character development is satisfying. At first, I was very angry with how they portrayed Zack but my anger calmed down later on. The one doing Zoe (at least I assumed) though, ehh... I wouldn't say the same. There' some changes but not satisfying. Rewatch? I might but that like crazy like I did with ALing. But this is all my opinion, not trying to offend anyone.

This drama definitely didn't age very well....My love for JoonGi is touching even Heaven...
I dont rlly like the FL like most ppl... shes such a messy character I cant tell what the whole point of her character is. And from what Ive heard, the whole ryeo remake cast sounds like a downgrade from the original characters.I cant tell what the FL value is. At first, you would think shes a modern girl who will impress the prince with her modern mindset. Than towards the middle it seems like she adapted to the era and did a 180 with her personality?? But she still keeps her naive modern mind where everhthing can be solved easily?? And I also dont like how shes too kind even towards ppl that betrayed her, wtf?? The first few episodes makes me think its a strong FL type??
I can definitely see why it would be poorly received in Korea. Terrible plot execution and unlikable characters. I only liked like Baek Ah, Jung, and Eun. Also good lords in heaven, this drama doesnt even have the intricate and detailed court politics and scheming it seems to sell. Jeus christ the writer could at least take some examples from the original. OR BETTER YET from actual Goryeo history. Cuz real GwangJong doesnt seems to give two fucks about the aristocracy and even known to have solidify the kingship
