I rebuke thee ..


I tried to watch this several times, I made it to episode 5 before giving up.

I can not get into the story, the characters, or the over the top everything in between.

I am not a fan of the ML or the FL so that could have something to do with it.

I think it is more him than her though.

I have tried time and again to get into him as he seems to have amassed quite the fan base, but I can not even scrounge up a glimmer of interest.

He's mediocre across the board, even in the looks department.

I would love for an original story starring leads that sizzle chemistry to come along and knock my socks off.

A Dull Demon Doing What’s Been Done Many Times Before, but with little Flare

The premise of this series was quite cliche. It could practically write itself due to how much this type of story has been done. Unfortunately, the writers could not make this interesting at all. The “demon” (Gu-won) is very good looking, love the actor. But there was nothing interesting about him. He made deals with desperate people and collected on those deals 10 years later by collecting their souls and sending them to hell. Okay. Seen this before. Now what?

It is intriguing that he has a cross tattoo on his wrist that apparently holds all his powers and he did have an encounter 200 years earlier with a little girl which I’m guessing somehow connects to the FL in the present, but the details of that story thread likely won’t be explored for another 10 episodes.

The demon’s first meeting with the FL was fun. And the power struggle going on at Almighty Ju’s company has some spark, but overall the story fails at being interesting. The leads look great together but have lukewarm chemistry. The only relationship that really popped in this was Doo-Hee and Ms. Ju. Really loved their conversations and chemistry.

Again I can already guess where the story is going. Gu-won will of course see the error of his demon ways and in turn find his humanity by giving up his powers for love and eventually becoming mortal. I’m also betting he made a deal with Doo-Hee’s parents (probably to save her life or ensure she has a good life) and that’s why they died in that car accident. This will be a source of angst in their romance. Nothing wrong with a story being predictable but it needs to be interesting. I gave this three episodes and just couldn’t care enough about the story to continue so I stopped watching.

I love it silly. But their are so many plot holes it drives me mad.

Okay, first of all this show is a slay. Like, I’m in love with all the characters and the actors, and that secret relationship we all know their secretaries are having. I adore everything. But apart from the good character building and grade comedic queues that the show has, I can’t really see anything further. For example, the whole family drama, not interested in the slightest. Or the whole thing with his superpowers and the guy in a mask? Interesting, but doesn’t hold my attention. Is like the writers spent so much time in building the perfect relationships between our ml and fl, that they kind rushed over the whole world building part. Which I can’t complain, cuz I love ‘em, but I wish I saw more angst in the other areas of the show. And, obviously, the show is still pretty new-just halfway through- but I’m still expecting something more gasp inducing to happen.


*posted the same thing on the ep guide for ep 8. Didn’t mean to and I can’t figure out htf I’m suppose to delete it 🤷🏾‍♀️*

Loved it

I adored this. I wasn't expecting to but here we are, it's a mixed up Josean, modern day demon story in which everyone treats it as normal. And hilarious.
There are horrible bits but Song Kang and Kim Yoo-jung sold this with acting which was understated and round the bend.
Fabulous!
Top marks to writer, director, all the actors and cameras.

this IS not my tipe female lead

after watching this drama, I can't agree with what people wrote that it is the best series .. the series is good but not to my taste, it didn't excite me so much that I would have butterflies in my stomach from it .. maybe it will be a female character, I always like the older one a strong, independent woman, she's too young for that role ..it's more suitable for older people as we all know (its okay not be okay) that's exactly the kind of woman I imagined in this drama, unfortunately I didn't like her at all, I mainly watched ore song kang because I love every drama but this one is not one of my favorites

Its okay

Look I know this kdrama is realy popular and loved but It just wasnt realy all that. I know the casting was beautiful there were pretty people who looked good together. But I just dont know about the story. Its so much like Doom at your service, when he faded away the editing was just like Goblins. Anddddd I dont like how fast and quickly they got together, I understand the needed to do that juz then they had problems because they are together and that was most of the kdrama that they cant be together, he is worried about her, she gets almost killed. But then It could of been a 20 episode kdrama. Juz they got together wayyyy too fast.

Wish he was my demon

I don't know if it shows the fact that this has spoilers but it does. This drama was absolutely amazing and the music was also really great and the actors were amazing and they also looked great. this show was a rollercoaster of emotions and i cried a lot at the end because i know he would come back at the end but i still cried a lot. the love in here was phenomenal and the way that the demon became more and more human and that he still had those human emotions even after getting his tattoo back was amazing. in general this show is now in my top 3 favs and if you haven't you need to watch it or even rewatch it. i haven't rewatched it yet because i just finished it but i will in like a month or so because of how amazing it is.

AMAZING!!

I really enjoyed the story, the developmente of the characters was very good, you could see that, as they got to know each other. They were maturing, understanding and supporting each other.

For a moment, I thought they wouldn't get on so well togher, BUT with each episode we could see how perfect they were together, I just wish I'd understood part of the end better, but it's a good drama.

Enjoyable little demon

I was going back and forth on rating this an 7.5 or 8 but I'm going to stick with the 7.5. I enjoyed the romance of this drama so much. I'm a hopeless romantic so I don't mind the cliche cringy stuff but in my opinion, this drama didn't have any cringy behavior between the leads. I wish this story would focus more on the romance and a little less on the psychotic family craziness. The family drama, the multiple deaths, and the light thriller aspect brought this drama down for me. I also didn't like the female lead decisions, in the beginning, she was shown as this badass CEO but once the heat got hot she gave up her inheritance because she wanted a quiet life.????

I don't know why she thought if she gave everything up the threats to her life would stop. I wish I could've seen the demon be more of a demon and make more deals for the benefit of the story but the writers didn't think that far. The writers were extremely lazy toward the end when they had the FL take a bullet for an immortal that would've survived without the serious consequences caused by her actions. However, the writers needed that one last push so all thought went out the window.

The romance and chemistry between the leads are what kept me interested. The ML is also very attractive which also kept my attention lol.

One of my top fantasy rom coms

Both actors served with visuals and the fashion was immaculate. Their chemistry was electrifying. The cinematography and music was everything although the plot was okay, kind of predictable and some tropes are re-used. However, I'm overlooking it because this is what makes a k-drama. Overall I loved the drama and I haven't been this emotionally attached to a k-drama since "It's Okay to Not Be Okay" which was made in 2020. I fell in love with Kim Yoo-Jung and plan to watch more of her dramas, she's really suitable for romance dramas :)
