My Demon Is A Very Cute And Enjoyable Ride

Hello, this is my first review! Hope I can express myself well and do some justice to this drama.

When I first heard of My Demon, I was looking forward to it not only because I found the premise interesting, but mostly because of Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung. After finishing it, I think that although generic and cliché, the drama did not disappoint to deliver according to my expectations.

— STORY

I watched it weekly so that might've helped me go through the drama without any issues like getting boring or feel like it was slowing down. I'm thankful for that because I'm not sure I would've felt the same if I had binged.

Although I enjoyed the drama, the plot wasn't anything new or even great for that matter.

I really enjoyed the series as a whole and only had an issue with one episode. The flow of it felt odd, felt a little rushed and unnatural. I remember it being the only time the music also did not hit properly, not to mention the end of the episode which felt cheap and forced. I won't go into more details as to not ruin expectations.

— CHARACTERS

This is the best part of the drama, by far! I mean specifically Do Do Hee and Gu Won. Their chemistry and characters were so much better than I had ever imagined, they're so sweet together!

Gu Won is such a great and charismatic character. His demeanor and presence were fitting of a Demon! He knows how to be serious when it needs to and how to be hilarious when needed too.

Do Do Hee is extremely charming and mature. I love how she went about handling the issues, and Gu Won. Kim Yoo Jung is not only one of the most beautiful actresses, but one of the most talented as well. Her acting in times of suffering and in times of joy were phenomenal.

Every time Gu Won called her name while looking like a happy puppy, my heart would melt. The way they both looked at each other was everything. Do Do Hee's smile could lit up an entire city block!

About the other characters, I think they fulfilled their part well but it wasn't anything great or worth mentioning.

— VISUALS

From the shots, to the outfits, to the CGI, I believe everything was the best it could be. Everything and everyone looked so beautiful. I have nothing major to complain about and I have not noticed anything that was too off-putting either. Just some odd CGI effects here and there.

— MUSIC

The music was one of the best parts of the show, alongside Gu Won and Do Do Hee. They played the right songs at the right moments (most of the time) and they perfectly helped build emotion as they should. Not only they were beautiful but also very memorable. The opening song is iconic, it's not something you can easily get out of your head or stop yourself from singing it. It's fantastic!

— RATING

My Demon is not perfect or a masterpiece, but it is enjoyable if you know what you want and don't mind some clichés. If you want to have fun and swoon over an extremely adorable couple, this is for you!

It didn't make me absolutely bawl my eyes out like other dramas, but I did get emotional at the right times and that's all I can ask for a good drama. I think the strong part was how happy and in awe I was by watching Gu Won and Do Do Hee together. They're perfect!

My overall personal rating for the show is a 9.4/10.

King the Land Has Brought Genuine Smiles To My Face

I just finished binge-watching King the Land for the second time because I couldn't resist knowing how good it was when I first experienced it a few months ago. Upon watching it again, I am glad that I feel about it the same as I did when I first watched.

I've seen a couple of articles saying that the drama didn't do very good and comparing to other shows like Business Proposal, which to me was odd because I actually watched Business Proposal before but after a few months I truly was wondering if I had watched it, I couldn't remember anything and had to look for some scenes to trigger my memory.

But anyways, enough comparing and talking about other stuff, let's get to the review:

— STORY

The plot is nothing extraordinary or even amazing, but it hooked me both times and didn't let go. I never once felt bored or like skipping scenes or even noticing time pass. I loved pretty much everything about the story and how it unfold, with only a few critique here and there.

There's no big cliche moments, or love triangles or "villains" or anything. It's a very simple story but it does so explendid in it's simplicity that made me love it.

— CHARACTERS

Gu Won and Sa Rand are by far the best part of the drama. They are both so lovable, funny, respectful and so mature. The way they interact with each other and their chemistry truly makes you feel in love.

I don't think I can out into words how much I love these two and the pure joy they brought me. I binged the show and by the end of episodes I noticed my cheeks hurting from smiling so much, this happened in almost every episode and also during my first watch. I love that the drama had this affect on me so much and made me feel so happy. That's what a romance drama should be all about.

The other characters also did a great job, specially the grandma and Gu Won's secretary person.

— VISUALS

Everyone and everything looked so beautiful that I cannot think of a single moment or character that looked anything but amazing.

— MUSIC

The music was absolutely fantastic! The kind that touches your soul, makes you feel the love between the characters and that sticks with you throughout days. There were some misuses and overuses here and there, but aside from that it was beautiful.

— RATING

King the Land is an extremely beautiful drama that touched my heart and makes yearn for love like theirs. It is such a beautiful and emotional experience. Although I didn't cry much, the amount of happiness I've felt watching this was everything to me. My hurting cheeks from smiling too much at the screen are proof of it!

Sadly not everyone could enjoy it, but for those of us who did and know how special the show is...

Hermés :)

My personal rating for the show is a very well deserved 9.7/10.
