My Demon | An Intriguing Series

I have this thing for K-dramas because their storyline, plot twists and actions are top notch. Inasmuch as there's lots of fantasy, there are true to life events, and mostly unpredictable. I also watch K-dramas because of their fashion sense as it really inspires me

There's this stereotype amongst my peers that K-dramas are about love that leaves girls daydreaming instead of focusing on reality. I believe they have this idea because they've only been introduced to one with slow pacing and predictable boring romance. My Demon is that series that has everything a person could ever want in a film; suspense, action, romance, fantasy, name it.

This is a delightful Netflix series that revolves around the life of a chaebol heiress, Do Do-hee and a demon, Go-won. Do Do-hee faces lots of criticism and hate when Ms Ju the woman who took her in after her parents death wills her company to her.

On the other hand, the demon Go-won goes around making deals with humans by granting their wishes and taking their souls after their agreed time elapses. These deals he makes with humans makes him more powerful and ruthless. On one of the nights he sought for a human to strike a deal with, he comes in contact with Do Do-hee and saves her from the hands of the man who tried to kill her but somehow, the source of his power gets transferred to Do Do-hee.

To get his power back, he had to work hand in hand with Do Do-hee by becoming her bodyguard to conquer everything and everyone that stood in their path. Each time they were apart, something tragic happened and to avoid that, they had to cohabit to conquer their fears and numerous enemies.

The only character I'm familiar with in this film is Song Kang, who plays the role of the powerful demon. It's ironic because he's too cute to be playing that role compared to other films I've seen where the demons are terrifyingly ugly. He plays the role of a CEO and a demon pretty well.

The film is colorful, intriguing, action packed with a nice touch of humor and sprinkles of emotions. I really enjoyed watching it because of its entertaining storyline and plot twists. I was unable to predict the characters and events, and was completely on edge till the last episode.

I'd rate this a 4.5/5. I'm not rating it a complete five because I didn't like the way it ended. Inasmuch as it didn't end tragically, I wanted more. I wanted revenge, wanted more show of power and dethronement but none of that came forth hence the disappointment. I'm hoping there's a season2 someday but while I wait, I'd leave the rating at what I've given it.

If you're into K-dramas you should see this one. It's not the regular romance thing, you know. There's more to this series than romance.
