My Demon (2023–2024)
10/10
Just Keeps Getting Better
2 January 2024
I was really enjoying "My Demon" in an 8 out of 10 stars way, and then it kept geyting better and better. Episodes 9 & 10: Wherein "My Demon" takes on the mesmerizing glow of TV series genius. A visually explosive scene between a confused Demon (Song Kang) and the mysterious snaggle-toothed baglady blew me away. There is a big dose of cosmic philosophy entering the picture and it quite unnerved me. This is no ordinary Korean rom-com, that's for sure. I stayed for all the lingering doe-eyed "will they or won't they" gazes, the rockstar Demon's high stylin' wardrobe, the gleaming CGI frozen-in-time moments, and the unmasking of a human monster obssessed with a schmaltzy-eerie k-pop lovesong. But now I am suddenly pondering the meaning of life and contemplating the essence of Universe's Supreme creator. I've fallen 10 stars hard for this series now, but whether the final 6 episodes will remain mysteriously profound, or devolve into superficial cheesiness is "to be continued"...
