" We may destroy each other at times, but we're also the ones who save each other"

" We may destroy each other at times, but we're also the ones who save each other". Therefore, we are both each other's destroyers and saviors.

" My Demon" is one of the first kdrama i enjoyed watching without getting bored, i was always excited to watch the new episodes when it aired every Friday and Saturday.

STORY: My demon is a fantasy rom com that tells the story of Guwon and Dohee, it switched from supernatural, romance,
Joseon era (which is the key foundation to Guwon and Dohee's Love story),thriller, family drama, CEOxbodyguard, and just
the right balance and mix that had me waiting impatiently for the next episode. Guwon and Dohee's love story started
as enemies to marriage contract to lovers and fighting for love to be with each other. Though their fate was cruel to them,
they always found a way to overcome every trials they faced. The past live of Yisun and Wolsim was beautiful yet tragic. I
do have a lot more to say about this drama but i will keep my review short.

CAST: Song Kang: He played the role of Guwon, i liked the fact that he didn't remain stoic and cold and aloof the entire time,
rather he displayed silliness, malewife role , and his comedic side is so funny.
Kim Yoojung: I could feel the depth of her character Dohee just by watching her, she portrayed the role of a
CEO, a cute wife and a strong woman who is outstanding. I could also feel the emotions through her eyes as she
embodied Dohee like a real human who went through so many pain. The pairing of Song kang and Kim Yoojung together
created an explosive magical chemistry, that word's cannot describe and i am grateful to have gotten to know them more
because of this drama. The side characters all played well as each of them portrayed the characters of humans, The
gangsters are so funny and have a good enemy to lovers bond with Guwon.

Although the story of My Demon may have its ups and downs, I was truly invested in the story of Guwon and Dohee, their love story is really captivating and touching, as they went through so many eventful times were they had to save each other again and again until they finally conquered. The emotional connection between them made me feel the love they both have for each other. Though some may not like their cute couple moments but each time i watch them i always find myself smiling so hard.

WHY I LOVE MY DEMON

Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang have good chemistry between them, the way they interact with each other, the eye contacts, and how comfortable they are around each other. They defined chemistry in the way i could not describe because i can feel just by watching them.

OST : My Demon Ost is so good as each song has meaningful words that adds to the story and the melody is soothing to my ear, my fav ost is "With You" by winter of Aespa girl group." True" by Yoari is also good as its the intro song used in the drama and i never for once skipped the intro even though i was eager to watch the new episodes.

ACTING : Song Kang played his role as a demon and human as he did a good job portraying the character of a self -absorbed demon, playful and funny human too. He has the potential of becoming a more better actor and I hope to see him excel more when he returns from the military. I have watched some of Kim Yoojung's drama and she is indeed a good actress who can portray different characters in one play, she did so well in her thriller parts i could feel the agony, sadness, happiness, and her crying scenes here in this drama and I hope for all the best in her career.

STORYLINE: I enjoyed the storyline in this drama, the angst scenes, the past live story which was a big part of this drama which was built with historical and cultural references, making it more bittersweet and so rightfully satisfying even though some people complained about this troupe it was very useful here as it answered all my questions. The religion aspect here made me like this drama more as I could relate to most parts that talks about Christianity and was also the link to Guwon and Dohee's story. I really have so much to say about this story but I think my review is becoming too long now.

PARALLELISM: The parallelism in My Demon is my roman empire because it explains that "history repeats itself " which is true and it happens. As their fate was cruel in the past but ended in the present as they both conquered all the hardships they faced and started a new beginning.

CINEMATOGRAPHY- Aesthetically pleasing throughout each episodes .

The story of Guwon and Dohee ended happily but left audience thinking if it's truly a happy ending because Guwon still returns as a demon and Dohee as a human and i say yes it is a HAPPY ENDING because Dohee wished to have him back and their lives are linked together, when Dohee dies so will Guwon because his life is her wish. This is also implied by God that said "silly humans" meaning that both in fact will go eventually brought back for a limited time. Also the good on the hat of God is now shining so it means good ending. They will always find each other and Love each other for as long as they can.

As i end my review, I would like to say that this drama may not have satisfied everyone but i was truly satisfied even though some mistakes were made, nothing is perfect but the story of Guwon and Dohee is Perfect and memorable, leaving me with so many quotes to remember.

My fav Quotes : " Caught in the crossfire of hatred and misfortune ceaselessly hurt each other and destroy each other's
souls. However, despite all that, our lives and this world continues. Perhaps that's because there are more
people who save each other with their love and trust".
" I can do all things through him who strengthens me - Bible verse Phil 4: 13.
