My Demon (2023)

DO DO HEE DO DO HEE

My expectation was low when i start to watch this drama. turns out it was a really good kdrama!

I love the story between both FL and ML. Their backstory is so damn sad and well portrayed. The OSTs is so good that I finally added some of the songs in my spotify playlist.

The only lackluster in this drama is the comedy part. Some of the comedy scene feels like forcing you to laugh and some of it also may gives you a cringe vibe.

However, the romance side is quite good. the combination between FL and ML I can say perfect. The way FL cries does looks like a true tears.

I've heard "IM SOL", "HAE IN". Now, I heard "DO DO HEE!" (*^▽^*)

Very very catchy Fantasy series with intense interactions within the CL.

PLOT: A demon saves FL, adopted daughter of a large company, from an assassination attempt, but the tattoo to activate his powers is transferred to FL's wrist. They must therefore team up to protect the FL (from the toxic and dangerous family +++) and find a way to restore the ML's tattoo. The CL therefore makes a marriage (contract). They will discover how their fates have been intertwined for a long time.

PROS:
+ Fantastic CL with Song Kang as ML & Kim Yoo Jung as FL.
+ A magnificent cinematography (the producer has a "Goblin" style).
+ Dynamic production, excellent special effects.
+ The story is relatively coherent, for a fantasy series, with “wisdom” or “philosophy” passages.
+ The OSTs are beautiful.

CONS:
- the product placements are too obvious, like in all recent Kdramas!
- The Great Villain, intelligent, perverted, sadistic,... is excessive. He could be a demon, surviving his fall from a building... Seriously?

=> An eye-candy, for CL and cinematography

Très très accrocheur, avec intenses interactions au sein du CL.

PLOT: Un démon sauve la FL, fille adoptive d'1 gros groupe, d'1 tentative d'assassinat, mais le tatouage pour activer ses pouvoirs est transféré au poignet de la FL. Ils doivent donc s'allier pour protéger la FL (famille toxique et dangereuse +++) et trouver le moyen de restituer le tatouage. Le CL fait donc un mariage (contrat). Ils vont découvrir comment leurs destins sont entremêlés depuis longtemps.

PROS:
+ Fantastic CL with Song Kang as ML & Kim Yoo Jung as FL.
+ A magnificiant cynematography (the producer has a "Goblin" style).
+ Réalis° dynamique, effets spéciaux excellents.
+ La story est relativement cohérente, pour une série fantastique, avec des passages "sagesse" ou "philosophie".
+ Les OST sont belles.

CONS:
- les placements de produits sont trop évidents, comme dans tous les Kdramas récents !
- Le Great Villain smart,pervert, sadique,... est excessif. Il pourrait être un démon, survivant à sa chute d'un building... Sérieux ?

=> An eyecandy, pour le CL et la cinématographie

Love Wins .

very good show. suffersxa little from the lack of continuity, but can easily look past those. they are a beautiful and believable couple. when she finds out what the deal was that her father made, she was happy and smiling and tells him you were even saving me then. But I doubt that would really be the reaction. Consider the fact that her Demon lover confirms the existence of Hell and that the father she loved so much is has been and will always for EVER be consumed by the flames of hell. While he was willing to make that sacrifice for his unborn daughter if she had the opportunity to voice her opinion there is no way she would allow him to do so consider not only the Eternal pain and suffering but there is no reincarnation from hell whereas just dying allows for reincarnation. But regardless still outstanding and enjoyable drama

My demon is my love!!!

Everything is very, very pretty. Just another Christmas tale about all-conquering love. Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jin are the best Korean couple and deservedly so.
Yes, I copied a lot from different doramas - Goblin(scenes on the road, the disappearance of a demon), Healer and I know, but ..(love-bed), maniac and bandits (from Strong Woman Do Bong Soon), reincarnation is similar to all dorama reincarnations at once, so it's hard to say where the screenwriter spied it, and much more. The story as a whole is a converted Hotel del Luna (an old tale about a lost soul character who is revived by love). The screenwriter has already done this once - the Chinese "Go Princess Go" into "Queen Cheo Rin", very successfully. And here everything turned out perfectly. And some scenes may well become new dorama cliches (turning holy water into a rose or a battle dance).
Everything that the screenwriter did not do was completely covered by the artistry and skill of Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jin.
It is wrong to assume that Song Kang does not look like a demon, according to the Bible, demons are fallen angels, and Song Kang is the most beautiful of all angels ever seen. He plays a boy who has not aged his soul in 200 years, still believing that for the sake of his beloved he can turn the whole world around and overcomplicate God. And he did manage to do it (with the help of an almighty screenwriter, of course, for which I thank him very much).
Don't look for deep meanings, high tragedy, this is a completely different genre, just another sweet fairy tale about love.
It was shot very beautifully, the camerawork was excellent, there were no bad angles at all when shooting Song Kang or Kim Yoo Jin, which, for example, slipped into a very good Matchmaker romcom with Rowan.
Very beautiful ost. I liked it from New Jeans - Our Night is More Beautiful than Your Day, Winter of Aespa - With You and Sam Kim - Say You Love Me.

Supper excited story! Daebak!

Everything is unique and perfectly amalgorated! Storyline, thrill, emotional content, and most important intense emotional acting.
The synopsis of the story may sound quite absurd, but being out-of-this world is what makes it a fantasy right? I was utterly impressed by how the writer managed to create a rich fantasy world of demon, humans and ghosts — each with their own unique abilities and quirks. I thought the imaginary world she created was on par with the likes of Twilight or other famous fantasy stories from the West. I remember scriptwriter saying something to the effect of wanting to write a fantasy story that was uniquely Korean to rival those produced in the West. It was thus an ingenious move of her to center the story on a mythical being unique to Korean folklore that has not been featured much in dramas or movies. Not only does this present a great opportunity for her to deliver fresh content, it is also a chance to introduce a little known aspect of Korean folklore to an international audience. This drama piqued my interest and led me to read up more on kpop — although they are referred to as “Demons” in English, they have entirely different characteristics from the demon we know in Harry Potter and other stories from the west.

meu demônio da paralisia do sono: DO DOHEE! DO DOHEE!

bobinho demais. é construído por aquela narrativa clichê que te leva pra todos os lugares que seu coração romântico quer ir e com um casal fofo que se entrosa muito bem.

apesar de não ser fã da performance do song kang, os momentos que ele mais brilhou foram ao lado da sua amada do dohee (kim yoojung).

vilão fraco, storyline confusa e mau construída, alguns personagens simpáticos e infelizmente pouco explorados. queria que o plot da ga star tivesse mais desdobramentos assim como toda vez que a gangue aparecia eu desejava que continuasse porque me faziam rir genuinamente. k-drama regular de fantasia, ficou entre bom e ruim pra mim.

obs: kudos para a beauty team que me fez ficar obcecada pela maquiagem da yoojung, estarei reproduzindo o delineado marrom dela any time soon!)

Mi scuso per le parole forti che userò.
Io stavo amando questa storia. L'ho guardato quasi di filato fino all'ep 11 divorando tutto quello che mi stava dicendo. In un unico episodio (il 12esimo) è riuscito ad annoiarmi, farmi perdere la pazienza e il completo interesse che avevo. Non sono nemmeno riuscita a finirlo quest'episodio. Ogni volta che provavo a portarlo avanti mi veniva il rifiuto, il v*mito a continuarlo. Da qui la mia decisione di drop.
Di base concordo con tanti altri pareri, ovvero l'ennesima copia di goblin solo che qui non ci siamo limitati a prendere ispirazione. Qui ci sono tante, troppe cose in comune con tanti altri drama fantasy. Poi sto dannato passato in comune, ma PERCHè??!! Ancora?? Ma basta! Che palle!
Inoltre stiamo parlando di fantasy ma in verità non pare davvero così: per la maggior parte del tempo lui è umano e si comporta come tale, non sembra mai davvero un demone ma solo una povera anima persa bisognosa di un punto fermo che troverà in FL.
Facendo due conti mi sono resa conto che l'unica cosa che mi portava avanti era la chimica dei due protagonisti: potete dire di tutto sul drama ma non che questi non siano stati perfetti insieme.
