Wow k dramas really can bring me to tears like no other. This drama has done something I have not personally experienced from any other. Let’s get into it.

First off, love the character dynamic of the Main Leads(MLs)
Headstrong business woman with a traumatic past, and a eerie present with a hidden vulnerability( She desires a stable, and reliable protector/ “salvation” is what she calls ML).

And a Carefree business man who is also a very powerful demon who sees humans as insignificant soul banks.Until he meets FML of course ;)

Both putting on a front of commitment-phobia by the way.(in the beginning)

~ This is a long review~ proceed if you like to read

[PSA]I’m only going to speak on what I liked because what I disliked is very trivial now that I’ve finished the series.

*The tattoo and power transfer was unexpected but it made the story more interesting

*I liked that the relationship build up wasn’t rushed or slow and it didn’t overshadow the storyline, it actually gave it some dimension, kind of like a soft pillow after being punched in the gut:)

*ML pursues first, despite FML being attracted first. He fell harder and He fell in love pretty quick for a demon with commitment issues. It was cute.


*ML was very willing to protect the FML and help her with all the BS going on with her “family” despite pretending to only care because of the tattoo

Now for the parts that really surprised me;)

In the typical drama, after the MLs becomes an official couple, there usually like 2 intimate scenes and then a random breakup and then something crazy happens, they get back together, kiss and the end.

We rarely get to see a drama where the MLs becomes a actual couple and we as the viewers get to witness the full intimacy of their love.

This drama does that!!! Theres cuddles, 1000s of hugs and kisses(exaggerations but close enough). There’s super cute couple moments and funny moments and cute nicknames. It’s was really like watching a actual couple. Two supermodels as a couple ?. And when I say kiss I mean all kinds, pecks, full on making out, slow kisses ,hard but tender kisses even passionate ones with actual emotion and not stiff at ?OMG I was f”*cking dazed !!! And then the pillow talk and sweet nothings!! Ahhhhhh! And let’s not talk about the fact that the ML lead a horizontal tango right after the first kiss. He was HOOKED! So romantic. When I say watching this felt like peeping into an actual loving married couples life sometimes…I’m sweating, and manifesting ??Please send me a Gu-won.

The last thing this drama did that I have not seen before is…
It didn’t trying to completely change Gu-won’s baddie character?. Let me explain

Gu won is a demon, hear that? DEMON! the devil to be precise. He makes his deals, takes souls and he has done it well for 200 years. And it’s not at all moral. At all. He’s not a saint and doesn’t pretend to be one outside of protecting his wife(Do-hee). He views humans as nothing more than ticking clocks. He can be very ruthless and almost villain like at times. and this stays his stance throughout the entire series. I REALLY liked that because I’ve noticed a theme in dramas where if one of the Main characters isn’t a favorable
or “good person” they do a complete 180 and rebirth them by the end of the series, completely overhauling their original description. We don’t always have to have saint like MLs, he’s a demon for the love of..nvm… The FML did not run away crying because she saw the MLs ruthless behavior she understood what he was even before they got married; it shook her a bit when she saw those red eyes and him air chocking a woman to death but in the end she was willing to stand by her man for evil or for worse haha, he was actually the coward there. I think she understood that he was crazy af and the LITERAL DEVIL to the world but he was her husband and a cuddly bear protecter WHO WOULD SACRIFICE IT ALL FOR HER, ya know. that some deep loyalty fr. So sweet Tehe. Like I’ve literally never watched a drama where the FML just let the ML do his thing without crying and running away. Very different.

Now don’t misconstrue my point. Gu won had major character development but it didn’t turn him from a demon to a rebirthed human or angel. He was still very much a demon at the end, he still reaped souls and made deals, he just became a more mature demon with a tiny bit more of a moral compass and a sense of purpose.

Lastly for anyone who cares, the side character weren’t a bore. I was very much entertained with the antics. The villains even had dimension.

This drama also made 16 episodes feel like 30 but in a pleasant way. Some ppl are complaining it was drawn out but we literally got a full on 10 different Acts in a 16 episode series. That’s talent. No part was dull and it all connected. anyways

Highly recommend 10/10
