When I first went into My Demon I noticed it’s weak spots and gaps but found the drama as a whole really engaging and worth watching. But as K-dramas are wont to do, as it went along it never got better and the weak parts started to weigh down the show to the point I FF-d the last few episodes scenes other than the OTP and didn’t feel like I missed much. Kim Yoo Jung did end up acting circles around Song Kang who to his credit tried (lol I could see his effort) and as a stationary love interest for Kim Yoo Jung to act circles around he looked very very good standing there so the visuals were top. The finale was a complete copy of Goblin‘s penultimate ending but with a more satisfying fantasy hoodoo to get the two back together and a more fulsome wrap up for viewers. Ratings remained low through its run from low 3s to mid 4% but it was one of the few recent K-romances I’ve enjoyed for the sum greater than its parts when all is said and done.

So last week saw two doses of Song Kang drama previews, the romance laden My Demon and the death and destruction laden Sweet Home 2. I need a palate cleanser after the teaser for SH2 and what better than hottie … Continue reading
I am admittedly a more vested viewer of Sweet Home, the original Netflix adaptation of the webtoon which I read and loved so much. It was dark, raw, and tense and pretty mature so not for youngsters to read. But … Continue reading
