I have been watching many Kdramas and falling in love with many of them but this is the 1st Kdrama series that made me cry.
Perhaps I am not a critical person and not a fan of any of the casts so I could be open-minded to reap the essence and the meaning of the series.
The story blends well between Eastern Taoism traditional Korean culture and belief with the Western Christianity belief especially about Reincarnation, Karma, God/Deity, Karmic/soulmate relationships, destiny and past life. The producer skillfully presents their respects for both beliefs and even add on the beauty of Korean traditional Arts/Dance.
The love bonding relationship went through different lifetimes and how it sustains through challenges and difficulties.
Maybe I found myself having empathy with their tragic past life destined relationship. The ancient conservative social mindset about social classes, the prejudices of human being at all time, the greeds, selfishness and evil of human which sometimes are even more dangerous than a "demon" entity.
Movie soundtracks did not make a strong impression on me but It still leaves the feeling being touched.
I understand different people have different views and interests when it comes to favorite movies, to me My Demon leaves a deep feeling that I could not get rid of. Not only everyone deserves to be treated right but sometimes we need to act on what matters most to us. Human being are emotional being and we act on our own emotions which sometimes bring unbearable outcomes.
I like how they visual God/Deity in this movie that is not only familiar but thoughtful. People usually look down on homeless and beggars... It would be surprising to find out who that beggar is.... Therefore we should learn to treat others equally. I think if the God/Deity above is watching us as human being, they would compassionately shed tears because of how much human being has to suffer but the worst thing is we suffer because of our own actions.
After watching the series, I could not wait to just re-watch it and I still enjoy it the 2nd time.
Even though I am not a fan of any of the casts but I acknowledge and highly appreciate their hard work, talent and dedication to the movie. There has been news about how harsh the entertainment industry is and how strong it affects to their mental health. I just wish the actors/actresses are healthy and happy not only physically but mentally and emotionally.
So much love to them.
