My Demon (2023/24, South Korea)
Director: Kim Jang Han
Writer: Choi Ah Il
Mini-review:
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.

Notes : This is an adaption of the original British series: Life on Mars (2006).
• There is also an American adaption: Life on Mars (2008).
• I've watched all 3, & the S.Korean adaption is easily my favorite!
• I've rewatched this a few times over already. But I just rewatched it yet again just to expand my original list into a Full Whump List! There's a lot (though a lot of it is quite repetitive, it's still good), Jung Kyung Ho is a fabulous whumpee! >w<
