With 16 episodes of approximately 70 minutes each, the drama offers a compelling combination of humor, romance, and fantasy elements, supported by the strong chemistry between the two leads as well as eye-catching visuals.
Suitability for Children's Viewing
“My Demon " is less suitable as a spectacle for children, especially those who are still under the age of adolescence (under 13 years old). Here are some reasons:
  1. Adult themes and content: The play contains themes such as contracted marriages, family intrigues, and supernatural deals involving the human psyche, which may be difficult to understand or too complex for children. In addition, there are elements of intense romance and emotional conflict that are more appropriate for young or mature adult audiences.
  2. Supernatural elements and Light violence: The presence of demons and the concept of soul retrieval can seem frightening or confusing to young children. Although not very graphic, there are some scenes of tension or mild violence (such as threats or attacks) that may not be appropriate for a young audience.
  3. Humor and dialogue: The comedy in this drama is more aimed at an audience that can catch sarcasm or absurd situations, which are usually easier for teenagers or adults to understand. The dialogue also sometimes contains innuendo or references that are irrelevant to children.
  4. Rating and Target audience: With an IMDb rating of 8.2 and a focus on love stories and corporate intrigue, “My Demon” clearly targets a teen-to-adult audience that loves romance-fantasy Korean dramas.
However, this drama can be a safe and interesting spectacle for teenagers (age 13 and over) with parental supervision, especially if they are already familiar with Korean dramas and like light fantasy stories. For younger children, it should be replaced with simpler, cheerful, and free from supernatural elements or complex conflicts, such as animation or family drama.

However, this information leads Do-hee into a deeper web of conspiracy.
At the same time, Gu-won begins to uncover the secrets of his past related to Do-hee. Through dreams and flashbacks, it is revealed that Gu-won once fell in love with a servant named Wolsim in the Joseon era, who turns out to be Do-hee's reincarnation. Their relationship in the past ends tragically when Wolsim is murdered, and Gu-won, then still a human named Seo Yi-sun, becomes a demon after making a contract with the dark forces for revenge.

One of the crucial moments occurs when Gu-won saves Do-hee from a deadly attack, but as a result he loses more of his strength. Meanwhile, Do-hee, who initially doesn't believe in love, begins to open her heart and realizes that she can't live without Gu-won.
The climax of the story takes place in the final fight against Seok-min, who reveals his evil intentions to destroy Do-hee and take over the Mirae Group. This confrontation not only tests Gu-won's strength as a demon, but also Do-hee's courage as a human.
