Meu Demônio Favorito (2023)

brand new old

Comecei este depois de meses sem assistir absolutamente nada e no geral. É um bom dorama.
Foi como ver um remake de Goblin e Desgraça ao seu dispor,a história segue o mesmo rumo mas te prende de forma igual.

a primeira vista, você pode confundir os vilões, então muito cuidado ao julgar o livro pela capa, definitivamente não estamos vendo Vincenzo.

Particularmente, acho que faltou um pouco mais de maldade por parte do vilão, acho que todo enredo tem que ter um vilão que te faça sentir ódio só de olhar pra ele.

Teria sim dado um fim diferente para o aue poderia ter sido um belo casal secundário, ah teria!

Enjoyable but very forgettable.

I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed this k-drama, but I think its biggest problem is that it's very forgettable.
On one hand, the chemistry between our two main characters is good and it shows on screen. This show certainly doesn't let Song Kang's physical attributes down lol.
However, what I probably didn't like much was the plot, which in itself is not very innovative in the fantasy genre, it takes us back to past lives again, and reminded me a lot of Doom at your service and Destined With You and so many other kdramas, almost as if all of the fantasy Korean dramas had a child. For that reason, I think this show is easily forgettable.
Although I repeat, I'm not going to lie, I did enjoy it, but I wish they would have omitted so many things that I could tell were plot fillers and added very little from my perspective, and most of the characters were not that well written.

It was a surprising show!

Not, because the plot isn't predictable. Even tho there were some elements that actually surprised me, but there are shows that are even tho they're predictable, it's still fun, have a real meaning. My Demon is not the best show on Earth, but they didn't complicate the story too much, didn't stretched out anything for no reason, like many Kdrama does. Basically every character is lovable, funny, and the villains are not 2-dimensional.

The writing isn't the best, but it's consistent, there's no unnecessary drama. Everything that the characters are doing is understandable. The chemistry between Kim You Jung and Song Kang is top-notch, every actor did their best. Honestly, it's quite surprising that most characters actually developed into a better one.

The best part, at least for me, is that there's no stupid love drama, no crazy love triangle or anything like that. The past life story was great too, but it could've been a bit longer.

I LOVED how Ga Young's story "ended", her character development is probably the best!

Like I said, the show surprised me with some of its twists, but overall it's still predictable, but this is the prime example when it can't ruin the enjoyment.

I loved the message of the show as well: Nothing as simple as you may think. Everything has two sides.

I think, this is the meaning of the show.

This show deserve the hype for sure, but don't expect too much, this is just a good, thrilling show with well-written characters and love story.

Not bad but not good

It's an easy watch, no need to use your brain at all. Probably a good way to destress.

Plot
The writing is not amazing, but it's not so boring that I would drop it. As other reviews already mentioned, it's a mix-and-match of your favourite typical cliches. NOTHING AGAINST CLICHES, I like them.

Cast
Amazing visuals from the main cast, Song Kang and Yoojung, and they have amazing chemistry in my opinion (I mean what else can I say?) Acting is great.

Music
Amazing setlist omg, I would totally add the OSTs to my Spotify playlist. The opening theme is catchy and well. Tiktok speaks for itself.

Rewatch value
Rated it kinda high because I think it's really easy to just throw this on and enjoy it.

It grew on me

I'm glad I watched this show. I don't know why because it's full of tropes and some moments or plot points weren't convincing – some parts were laughable because of how convenient they were to the plot. I wanted to drop the drama after 2 or 3 episodes but I kept on watching because I love the two main leads and every show they've been a part of.
And SOMEHOW the things that annoyed me the most about the show (exaggerated "charicature comedy" like with the butler and the employees, KYJ not really fitting her "cold CEO" role IMO, trope after trope, not that strong of a chemistry between the two leads...) slowly improved. I probably just matched my expectations to what I was watching and got used to the style of the show. Once I accepted it for what it was it got better and I ended up enjoying many aspects, such as how the main leads evolved over time as individuals and in their relationship, the suspense that was predictable but still fun to watch, the relationships between the "villains", the play with the ideas of good and evil and the aesthetic of the show. I'm glad I had time to binge-watch it though because I would have dropped it had watched it as it came out or couldn't skip forward certain parts.

And how stunning are SK and KYJ? Like damn, they suit each other so well TT

Review from all aspects

Overall it was a nice drama to watch
It reminds you of how dramas used to be when you first started to watch dramas . It's a very standard plot , they met something happens and you see how they deal with the situation and then the end . It has it's comedy part and it's nice ost and music. The romance was a bit " intense " at first but it went on smoothly ( which put me off a bit , but that's my opinion).As for the action part it was nice but I have watched better stuff (personal opinion here) but you may like it . The acting was goodd and the outfits were perfect. Furthermore you could tell that the cinematography was about to be professional.I would rate this 7/10 only because there was no big plot twist that would make the story a bit more interesting. It's a nice smooth fantasy romance so I think you should give it a try since you don't have anything to lose.

Not Bad but Not Good either

this show was good, yes but the storyline got boring the moment they started to fall for each other. Before that, I was extremely curious about the culprit's identity and the backstory behind his villain arc but after it turned out to be Noh Suk-min, it decreased my interest in that show even more. The beginning was perfect. From Eps 1-10, I watched the series without even sleeping but it got more and more boring as the episodes progressed. But still, this show was very good. Just wish that the FL didn't just act expressionless while the ML was being portrayed as a cheerful, devoted husband character because by the end, they both became highly annoying. But still, a great watch. Highly recommended.
