Many moons ago, a question was raised in my bookclub to name a character who wasn’t the villain of the story, but technically could be viewed as one because his/her actions consistently put the protagonist in harm’s way. Dumbledore of the Harry Potter series was a favorite in my group. Why? Not only was he […]
My Demon: Eps 15 & 16 Open Thread
The thread is open. source: romcomedy’s tumblr Trust me. This whole brushing-your-teeth-and-spitting-out-the-toothpaste-together act is only cute in kdramas. Because guess what you have to do next? Floss! Will you floss each other’s teeth, too? Ewww. Plus, once you have double sinks in your master bathroom, you’ll never look at a single sink the same way. […]
My Demon: On Bogus Religion, part 2
@GB, I’ll answer you out here. It’s easier. You said, Hi @pkml3, I’m taking meds and resting as well. I’m supposed to be at a half-day event now, but had to bail because of the virus. Before the medication makes me too sleepy, I thought I’d just add my 2 cents. (Now that I’m re-reading […]
My Demon: Eps 13 & 14 Open Thread
The thread is open. For somebody who hasn’t set foot in Hell, GuWon surely comes to close to it often. Ep 2: He took the acid slash for DoHee. Ep 3: He was beaten up by the gangsters; his head was almost bludgeoned. Ep 5: He fell off the penthouse terrace with DoHee. Ep 7: […]
My Demon: Ep 12 On Bogus Religion
Episode title: The Savior of Destruction The title is an oxymoron. How can someone be considered a savior and protector when he wreaks destruction? To save and protect is the opposite of to destroy and ruin. But oh well…we get who the title refers to. 1. It’s Guwon. His name means “salvation” and DoHee regards […]
My Demon: Ep 11 A Paradise of the Ominous
Episode title: A Paradise of the Ominous As I’ve always said, I like titles because they tell me where to focus my attention when I’m writing these commentaries. This episode marks a transition. For me, “a paradise of the ominous” is synonymous with a “calm before the storm.” 1. For GuWon, paradise means the restoration […]
My Demon: Eps 11 & 12 Open Thread
The thread is open. Boooooo. So, Noh SukMin is the devil and not Oppa Ju SeokHoon? I concede that SukMin is the ultimate killing machine, having offed his mother, his partner in crime aka the Psoriasis Guy, and his son (indirectly). But Ju SeokHoon is still not off my Villain List. Let’s enjoy the show.

My Demon: Eps 9 & 10 Open Thread
The thread is open. I’ll have to catch up. You know, after working in Washington DC, I find the backstabbing (whoops. it was a heart-stabbing, right?) in this drama rather unimaginative, and the villains a bit gormless. But I guess, we’re supposed to see the DoHee and GuWon’s sufferings scale up in these next few […]

My Demon: Ep 6 Mystifying Things
I’m going to make a running list of things that stumped ME. Kindly please don’t come at me with your 1001 questions and give me a headache. Some of the things you asked, you could figure out yourself. Please calm down. –pm3 1. Ep 6. Why did GuWon lose his teleporting skills in the photobooth? […]
My Demon: Ep 6 “Into the Wheel of Fortune”
Vanna White was the first thing that came into my mind when I read the title of this episode. She was the co-host of the American game show “Wheel of Fortune”, and her job consists of smiling for the camera, turning the letters on the giant puzzle board, and clapping to encourage the contestants. I […]
My Demon: Ep 5 “Only You”
I like it when the kdrama has titles per episode. It tells me where the screenwriter is going with the story, and what to write about in my review. 1. “Only You” For GuWon, it refers to DoHee. Like in any typical kdrama, the title underscores the shift in feelings of our hero Jung Gu […]
My Demon: Ep 5 A Quick Note on the Killer
I already wrote about this on the Eps 5 & 6 Open Thread but let me put it out here so it’s easy to find for future viewers of this kdrama. Don’t be fooled now. As of Ep 5, these are what we know about the Killer. “Abraxas” is his alias. He hired the Eczema […]
