I started watching My Demon, then somehow paused it and am stuck at ep 4... But I couldn't stop watching Samdal-ri…
Is My Demon so bad? I am keeping that for next week, so wandering now whether should have kept this for later. U know how u keep the better ones for later for the delightful aftertaste.
I have just started watching and i hate the assistant. I understand that Samdal doesn't wanna stoop to her level but i wish samdal had leaked the pics of her bf with the assistant and said that the assistant's doing all this as a revenge, as a counter to what that assistant b*tch did to her.
I dont agree with your view on suicide and since it is a sensitive topic I have to adress it.You cant compare…
I liked your comment and explanation. And I think I came off seriously saying the stuff I said in my comment.
My comment was meant as a sarcasm. I am going through a difficult time in my life and it was hard to finish the drama. But i stuck through it to know what they do with the ending and they didn't disappoint me by disappointing me.
From the beginning the tone of the show seemed like sermonizing the suicidal sinners. Every time i saw Death's self righteous smug face it enraged the hell out of me. They took a sensitive topic and made an adventure sport out of it. On top of that the whole punishing the evil man seemed so out of context of preaching which is the theme of the show. I'd have much liked to watch a drama about a man being unfairly killed and death giving him these chances to save himself and take revenge.
Experiencing others' life can make one's own decision seem stupid. But like you said real life doesn't work like that. So I am watching this but not experiencing. So if while having a difficult time and trying to stop all bad thoughts one sees this they may think, oh so the pain may not end even after death because Death's techy a$$ might get offended because she's called before she made the call and the consequence could be infinitely more painful for the eternity. This doesn't stop bad thoughts, this makes one more anxious.
If they wanted to convey a message that life is precious and you are not alone and when you go you leave the ones who love you behind, hurt, etc., they should have picked a 0 condescending tone.
The only thing I liked about the drama is watching my favorite actors.
It was entertaining and sufficiently triggering for my anxiety (all the 'if you kill yoself u r going to be burnt alive in hell for the eternity but also life is unpredictable so u might lose your job and never get a job again' part). I have one confusion tho. The story is about Cho Yi Jae and his arc. Him killing himself for his miserable condition or that's what he thought because when you think you are miserable think again cos there's at least one person or more than that who's more miserable than you so take a deep breath and think about the people who love you and suck it up. But from the first episode of killing himself to the last episode of realizing what he did wrong that death was trying to hammer home for 7 episodes, where does taking revenge/punishing Park Tae Woo for the atrocities he did against CYJ's incarnations fit? Also, since everything resets in the last episode, won't Tae Woo monster be alive again?
It was surprisingly a chill watch for a saeguk. I usually run opposite from saeguks unless they have my favorite actors, then i just bite the bullet. Saeguk's have unfailingly heavy palace politics and intolerable unfairness towards commoners, especially women, regardless of promising a comedy, or romance or any light theme. Therefore, I always prepare myself for some degree of trauma. However, this one was really a comedy, romance, like the tags promised. The romance part was not that heart-fluttering for me but the whole story was very enjoyable. The characters were well written. My favorite was FL's mil. She was a very interesting character and i kept looking forward to her next move. Overall, had a good time watching this.
