A copypasted masterpiece!

My demon is a good drama, in my opinion. It was fairly enjoyable, visually gorgeous, quite funny and generally held up well. It has a very attractive main cast, wonderful special effects, a pretty compelling plot and likeable characters.
Many people complain about the acting but i actually thought it was pretty good most of the time.
It does have many flaws. My demon is extremely predictable, full of Kdrama cliches and generally gives you a huge sense of deja vu. While watching it, i was constantly reminded of other Kdramas such as: Goblin, buisness proposal, heartbeat, and tale of the nine tailed (also many other popular Kdramas.)
My demon seemed to possess the supernatural charm and visuals of 'tale of the nine tailed', humor and cliches of 'buisness proposal' and romance and plot of 'goblin' and 'heartbeat'.
There are many similarities between my demon and these Kdramas, from general cliche tropes to downright copypasting scenes and dialogue. (Example, the scene were Gu Won "dies" in the second last episode is almost identical to the scene in goblin where the goblin Kim Shin dies. They are both held by the female lead as their bodies disintegrate into tiny particles. Another example is the scene where Do Hee is falling off a tall building and Gu Won catches her, which is almost the same as the scene from tale of the nine tailed where the 2 leads do the same thing. Not to mention, the humor of the show in general really reminds me of buisness proposal.)
There are also just general cliche tropes such as the main character dying before magically coming back to life in the very next episode, psychopath villain, maain characters having a fight due to a stupid misunderstanding ect.
But despite all these things, my demon is somehow still a good drama in my eyes because it does manage to put all these cliches together quite well and also shines in its own ways in certain episodes. I think the main couple had great chemistry, the humor was spot on most of the time, as previously said the special affects were beautiful and in general, it was a fun drama. I'd say, go head and give it a try. My demon is nothing special, but it works well with what it has and gives you a sort of nostalgic feeling (like deja vu) and though it is very cliche, that doesnt necessarily make it bad.
My demon is unoriginal, yet alluring and worth watching once
