“While it is true that external forces can lead people astray, all evil ultimately stems from human desires. So the fault cannot lie in the evil spirits alone.” – Jung Koo Won
Personal Reflection and Rating
A Beautiful Love Story
My Impressions
‘My Demon’ is a fantasy romance with an interesting premise. The theme focuses on the role of evil in humanity and facing the consequences of our choices. This drama has some light-hearted humor to keep it from getting too dark. The camera work is gorgeous and Song Kang is charming as the arrogant Demon.
Unfortunately, the mythology they created for the story leaves the drama riddled with plot holes. And while Song Kang and Kim You Jung are beautiful people, there is far too much time spent on overly long close-ups instead of story telling. With the exception of a few, the side characters were one-dimensional and annoyingly over-the-top. I give ‘My Demon’ a 7 out of 10.
