Pretty ordinary supernatural ; the hype doesn't justify what we are shown; good that they made everyone humans (with demon hearts) and no more supernatural suprises.

Kim You-Jung is too young to pull off an ice-cold CEO so good that they focused on romance and chemistry with Song Kang rather than focusing on making her an unrealistic leader figure.

it was exciting and also funny up till episode 10, then it became boring and was dragging to much.

My feelings on My Demon don’t run that deep because I didn’t feel like the show was that deep. It had good visuals; the actors are very pretty, and some of the scenes were beautifully shot. It was cinematically very polished and nice to watch, but it was a run of the mill chaebol killing chaebol in a search for power with some supernatural elements that never were all that grounded into the plot.

[spoiler] We had some star crossed lovers, with reincarnation, but we never really addressed the fact that Gu-won is still a demon in the end, he’s still going to out live Do Hee, and he still sends people to hell for all eternity.
Sure, now he only makes deals with bad people, but I do think they really glossed over the moral implications of being married and in-love with the literal devil. [/spoiler]

How is Do Hee going to explain to everyone that her husband literally never ages? We will never know.

My comment can harm some fans but To be honest to me, it's a remastered edition of Goblin K-drama.

I can’t say I’m crazy about the usurping and warping of Christian theology and symbols. It is just sloppy writing to not research a religion you are going to sacrifice for your story, not to mention disrespectful of those who treasure their faith. The acting is good but the pace is w a y t o o s l o o o w. There were some 7 (good) episodes but overall, I give this series a 6 (barely okay) out of 10.

Chemistry is alright, but not like it's been hyped.
Adverts are out of place / intrusive (and really dumb).
The comedy characters are all overwhelmingly unfunny.
(( Stuff at the end is [spoiler]stupid, but not as painful as it could have been.[/spoiler] ))
