Review of My Demon

My Demon (2023–2024)
1/10
Worn out plot
4 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
After four episodes, I'm surprised very many people are hanging with this Kdrama. Everything in it has been done to death.

1. Orphaned (female) lead. South Korea must lead the world in both (loving) parents dying in a tragic accident while their children are still young.

2. Chaebol adopts, orphan, which evidently happens to orphans in Korea almost as often as parents get killed in a car crash.

3. Chaebol family is horrible.

4. There's a demon. Happens all the time. The demon usually either has a boss who tells him/her the rules of being a demon, or in this case, has an instruction manual.

5. There's a psycho killer. Because every romantic comedy needs a psycho killer. But the psycho killer only makes random appearances as necessary to create opportunities for the male lead to rescue the female lead.

6. Orphan becomes the only nice person in the chaebol family and is incredibly successful.

7. executives in the orphan's company are a bunch of silly idiots. Because evidently it's very common to have a brilliant CEO supported by dimwits who are department managers or vice presidents. As successful as she is, I guess she wasn't able to hire all the brilliant graduates of Seoul National University.

8. Demon has silly sidekicks too.

9. The demon i.e. Male lead is a jerk at first but who wants to bet that he's going to learn something from the human and what do you think is gonna happen in the end?

We all know where this is going we all know where this has been. I assume that Kim yoo-jung will be able to star in K dramas for another 20 years. She deserves better than this.

The ratings in Korea have been low. I don't know why this has been receiving the high IMDB reviews that it has.

Turn this off and watch Because This is My First Life again.
