“You are my fate that I cannot defy”

“Even if my feelings for you make me insignificant and weak, you are my fate that I cannot defy”

My Demon is the story of two people who are bound by fate who will eventually fall in love but their circumstances won't let them be together. This trope has been used so many time but My Demon has a way of making it feel new. The storyline is nothing extraordinary but its balanced. Its filled with the necessary amount of romance, angst, fluff, comedy and tension.

I have no words for the casting of My Demon except that its perfect. Everyone did a really good job. In romance dramas like My Demon, if there is no chemistry between the leads, it never works. But Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung's chemistry makes this drama so much better.

The antagonists of My Demon are great at adding the tension and fear to this drama. They have a way of making you annoyed and even creeped out at times. Kim Seol Jin as Gi Gwang-chol and Kang Seung-ho as Noh Do-gyeong are great at creeping me out. Everytime they appear on the screen, I feel strangely uncomfortable.

My Demon has a great soundtrack. Whenever Wherever by Roy Kim and Say You Love Me by Sam Kim are my favourite as of now. And Jeong Guwon and Do Do hee's scenes with Our Night is More Beautiful Than Your Day by New Jeans feels comforting. It mostly plays during the soft romantic scenes and that song makes it better. The opening OST True by YOARI has my heart.

One of my favourite thing about a fantasy drama are the magical elements. I feel so dramas forget to add those elements or sometimes does a bad job at adding those elements. However, My Demon definitely knows how to add those elements. Even though there aren't many, the scenes that has those magical elements are still printed in my mind. It knows how to make a scene look beautiful.
