My Demon
Do Do Hee - Kim Youjung
Jeung Gu Won - Song Kang
Summary: I absolutely loved this drama. The actors’ chemistry was amazing. Song Kang and Kim Youjung holy. Their BTS makes me feel like this show isn’t a show and the couple is real. Everything they do is so natural, which means that they are phenomenal actors and actresses. The only couple things that are keeping this drama from a 10/10 is that there are some parts where it is cringey and a little too corny for me. Also, I felt like some of the dramatics were just way too dramatic in this drama, like that woman with Austin and Justin and the assistants for Do Do Hee and Gu Won. Do Do Hee’s coworkers were also just way too dramatic. Also, I think the ending is a bit rushed especially with Gu Won’s return. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad he came back as quick as he did, but I wish we got more details about where he went and how “god” brought him back exactly. Besides that though, this was a really good drama. Idk why the reviews are so low, but I’m glad I didn’t listen to them and I formed my own opinion.
Episode 1: “His whole existence exudes sensuality” - Heck yes, it does. Song Kang’s eyes are so captivating and his presence just screams caring, but cold and dominant at the same time. The aura that Jeung Gu Won emanates is just so captivating. His style of clothing with the long trench coat and his protective figure taken, even if it’s out of the motivation to form deals with humans to take their souls, is just mesmerizing. At the end of the episode, you can still see Jeung Gu Won’s caring side as Do Do Hee was about to fall into the ocean and he realized his powers were gone, but he still jumped after her.
Episode 3: How the heck did Jeung Gu Won know that Do Do Hee was in danger when acid was almost thrown on her!? Also, the fact he put his own life in danger to protect her by stepping in front of the acid predicts his care for her, even if they both don’t know it. I’m glad she now knows what he is though, at least he doesn’t have to hide that part anymore. His aura and power whenever he can channel his demon powers rlly shines through. I actually really like how they both give each other the support they need. Do Do Hee learns how to be a little less tough and emotionless in front of him. He learns what it’s like to be a human and feel those emotions. I love Jeung Gu Won’s soft side. He knows he can’t bring back the dead, but he made sure that Madam Ju could comfort Do Do Hee one more time and he left to give them their own privacy. He’s more caring and human than he thinks.
Episode 4: Wow wow wow, the end of this episode left me so happy with all the tension that we got. When Jeung Gu Won was basically dead, Do Do Hee saved the day for once. The fact that she was able to find him and stop a group of like 12 guys that were ganging up on him. Not only that, but let’s talk about Song Kang’s gaze during that moment. When he found Do Do Hee standing there with that wistle, his eyes gave everything away. He instantly fell in love, if he wasn’t already secretly developing feelings. Not only that, but then the tango that they did after and Gu Won’s realization that he broke the third rule of being a bodyguard “Don’t fall in love.” He was in a daze the rest of the night basically and he knew that he was done for. I loved when he started realizing his human emotions were coming on when he felt his heart racing.
Episode 5: The start of this episode was hit with a banger. We got the infamous scene of Song Kang shirtless in the shower. I have got to say, he has one of the most insane builds that I’ve ever seen filmed in any Asian drama. His 8-pack is so defined, broad shoulders, and it looks like he has 0% body fat with how lean he is. Then, when Do Do Hee came to visit him and he had that unbuttoned blue shirt, man…he is just such a tease. However, I could’ve guessed this mini-plotline from a mile away. Gu Won is scared of the feelings that he has and knows he isn’t supposed to have them, so he is saying hurtful words that are untrue to get Do Do Hee away from him and give them some space. BUT, U STILL SEE HIS CARE BECAUSE HE CALLS HIS ASSISTANT AND MAKES SURE SHE GETS HOME SAFE. I ALSO DON’T THINK THIS CARE IS BECAUSE OF HIS TATTOO ANYMORE, HIS VOICE DIDN’T SOUND LIKE HE WAS TALKING WITH AN INTERIOR MOTIVE. Ugh, I hope this miscommunication era is over quickly though because they both really need each other. There are death wishes on both of them and the only way to fight the evil is to work together, so we’ll see.
Episode 6: Wow wow wow…this episode started out wonderful. Do Do Hee made a really smart decision adding Gu Won’s contact to her emergency contacts and I’m glad she didn’t remove it out of anger after their fight. Gu Won dropped everything, came without hesitation, sped like no one believed could be possible, climbed so many flights of stairs, and somehow was able to save Do Do Hee at just the right time. Not only that, but this was after their big argument where they broke off their bodyguard relationship. Gu Won still literally came with no hesitation and saved Do Do Hee. Although I think the second lead is a good guy too, I’m glad he wasn’t her only emergency contact because he would’ve been too late. I loved loved loved the eye contact that Gu Won and Do Do Hee made when they were literally dangling. She was so scared, so insanely scared senseless and he shows up literally knight in shining armor. Not only that, but my favorite part of this whole rescue was the part where they hugged each other. It was one of the only times that we see Do Do Hee being vulnerable and losing her strong boss facade that she always carries. Gu Won was also the perfect person to be vulnerable towards as he was able to comfort her perfectly. He held her, patted her on the back, and gave her words of reassurance. You know, for a demon that claims not to know how to be human, he does a pretty good job of observing Do Do Hee’s emotions and being able to cater towards them perfectly. I love how Gu Won also always notices when Do Do Hee talks or thinks about Madam Ju and he can’t help but feel empathetic.
Episode 7: Op!!! Their first kiss, in a photobooth…how cute. I love how the start of their marriage is so cute and awkward, just like 14 year old children dating for the first time and having the time of their lives, while both thinking about how awkward they are. Not only that, but Gu Won secretly keeping the photostrip of them two kissing so that “the culprit doesn’t find them”…although we all know that it is for himself. Come on now…we’re not that dumb.
Episode 8: Wow the start of this episode had me so scared. Gu Won was literally on the verge of death, like he was dead and then Do Do Hee somehow got to him at the last possible moment. Do Do Hee and Gu Won’s true care and love for each other really showed, no matter what they both say. Do Do Hee would’ve been Gu Won’s last spoken words and Do Do Hee was scared to death that Gu Won was truly dead and she was too late. I also love their little catchphrase/inside saying that Gu Won says to Do Do Hee with “Let me charge.” Basically, let me hold you, hold your arm, be next to you, or hold your hand so that my powers can recharge. But, I think that saying goes past powers now. It goes towards his emotional state and him as a person, Gu Won has definitely started to rely on Do Do Hee to function because he’s constantly thinking about her. Bro bro bro…this charging thing is so cute. They’ve upgraded from occasional hand holding to sleeping in the same bed hand holding to full on hugging eachother to sleep…ugh my mood changed so quick. I knew Do Do Hee loves Gu Won too much to continue putting him in danger. I guessed that she would figure out how to let him go. She gave up her whole empire basically, her whole dream for his safety. This time, it was her saying hurtful words pushing him away and I couldn’t with the look on his face bro. It was so sad. “The most human thing you can do is loving someone.” Gu Won has definitely fallen into that trap. I CANT GUYS !!! I only had to be mad for 7 minutes, becuase then Gu Won found out the truth why she quit everything and raced to find her. And then a masterpiece was created. He revealed that he no longer cared whether he lived or died and said “What’s best for you…is what is best for me..Even if my feelings for you make me insignificant and weak, you are my fate that I cannot defy.” Guys guys guys…stop it right now. Gu Won is so godo with words for being a demon most of his life. AND I CANNOT FORGET TO TALK ABOUT THAT KISS. IT WAS PERFECT! CHEFS KISS. THE MUSIC. THE SPRINKLERS, OMG THE SPRINKLERS MAKING THEM BOTH DRENCHED MADE IT SO MUCH BETTER. IN THE GARDEN. NOT A FISH KISS/PECK. HOLY HOLY HOLY! OBSESSED.
Episode 9: STOP IT RIGHT NOW! FIRST OFF, WE GET THAT LOVELY REPLAY OF THE KISS IN THE SPRINKLERS WHERE THEY FINALLY REVEAL THEIR TRUE FEELINGS. AND THEN…WE GOT MORE SCENES! NO ONE TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE A SCENE OF THEM HINTING AT ——. LIKE HELLO….he literally pushed her up against the wall, climbed on top of her in bed, his dangling cross necklace, shirt off, interlocking fingers with the tattoo, all of those actions combined with immaculate kissing…like this drama does not disappoint in terms of NOT feeding us pecks or fish kisses (iykyk). holy, my hand was covering my mouth the entire time, i literally couldn’t breathe for the first like 3 minutes of the episode. Aww…they are so cute as a happy married couple at the start of this episode. Gu Won is so insanely like golden retriever energy in this specific episode, discovering all of these things that humans do as couples. I love Song Kang’s acting in this drama because he can play so many different roles. He can do the “evil” demon, the protector, or the puppy husband. It does make me sad when he loses his powers though. I could’ve guessed it, but his acting was really good as it made me feel just how lost he felt without his powers being anywhere anymore. He doesn’t know who he is and his life’s work is basically all gone.
Episode 10: “My biggest fear is living in a world without you.” Aww..the way that Gu Won knows that he might die but he’s hiding it from Do Do Hee so that she doesn’t worry. “I can’t live without her.” Gu Won literally just ran into a fire even when he is just a mere human to save her. Do Do Hee had the same feeling as “It’s always worse losing someone you love rather than losing yourself.” The way they’re both fully willing to sacrifice themselves for the other. WHENEVER THAT THEME SONG COMES ON, YOU KNOW IT’S ABOUT TO BE GOOD. HE GOT HIS POWERS BACK!!!!
Episode 12: When Gu Won realized that he killed Do Do Hee when he was a human because of his love for her, he was super scared to do it again in this life as a demon. However, when he said “I don’t want to make you miserable because of my love for you”, Do Do Hee said “I would be miserable without you. So, if I had a choice, let’s be miserable together.” I loved that statement because it calmed Gu Won and showed that she’s in this for real with him. “I’ll make sure we have a happy ending this time.”
Episode 13: When Do Do Hee and Gu Won said “I love you” to eachother for the first time with the flowers, that kiss after felt so natural. Kim Youjung and Song Kang’s chemistry is so natural, it feels like a real married couple.
Episode 14: Gu Won loves Do Do Hee so much that he told her to go find her happiness without him. He left her in order for her to be safe and happy. He knew that her being with him is destined for failure and her being miserable, so he let go. That’s how much he loves her.
Episode 15: The end of this episode turned from “YES!” to “WHAT THE HECK?”. At first, when I heard the theme song, I was like, yes, Gu Won is going to show up and save Do Do Hee. Gu Won did in fact show up and I loved his angry look tailored towards Noh Suk-min. But, Gu Won did the one thing he’s not allowed to do as a demon, which is bring someone back to life. He did it to save Do Do Hee, but that means that the demon spontaneously combusts. Then, when Do Do Hee asked “You saved me?”, Gu Won responded with “I saved myself.” Gu Won couldn’t live with himself without Do Do Hee so by saving her, he saved himself. That’s true love right there.
Episode 16: The Christmas miracle came true. Thank god (literally) that Gu Won is back and thank goodness he made that bet. I love how this story ended, most people got the ending they deserved. Although how is Noh Suk-min still alive? Anyway, I loved Jin Ga-young’s ending too. Gu Won finally showed some care for her and it was such a bittersweet ending for them.
