Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 60 /100

Critical reception for My Demon is notably polarized, with viewers largely divided between those charmed by the leads' chemistry and those frustrated by the narrative's derivative nature. Supporters frequently praise the series for its visual aesthetics, stunning cinematography, and the engaging rapport between the central duo, often describing it as an entertaining, lighthearted rom-com with high production value.

Conversely, critics of the show point to a lack of originality, noting that the plot relies heavily on K-drama tropes and feels reminiscent of previous fantasy series like Goblin. Some reviewers found the storytelling inconsistent and meandering, suggesting that segments of the sixteen-episode run felt like filler designed more to showcase the stars' fashion and appearance than to advance a coherent plot.

“While the series is not without its faults, it is one heck of an entertaining ride – sizzling with chemistry, playful banter and well-timed humour.”

“My Demon offers a decent watch, particularly when viewed as a romantic comedy with its fair share of ups and downs.”

“Visually, the series is great. The leads look great - individually and together -, the styling is exquisite and the sets/colors as well as the cinematography are stunning.”

Why fans love it

My Demon blends the high stakes of a supernatural power struggle with the measured pacing of a romantic comedy. By pairing a powerless demon with an icy heiress, the drama leans into the friction of forced cohabitation. The core of the appeal lies in this gentle dynamic, which manages to feel both whimsical and grounded despite the fantasy elements.

Kim Yoo-jung anchors a narrative that balances cold corporate intrigue with lighthearted, hopeful moments. The shift from a pitiless entity to a vulnerable companion gives the series a comforting rhythm. It treats its high-concept premise as a framework for character growth rather than a frantic race for tension. For those leaning toward a character-focused romcom, the chemistry provides a straightforward charm that avoids excessive melodrama in favor of a soft, steady progression.
