My Demon: The actors are not beautiful enough, the movie motif has nothing new, the plot hole is revealed in the first episode

My Demon has had a relatively smooth run of more than 2 weeks, all thanks to the perfect appearance of the male and female leads. Previously, the movie received a lot of negative feedback because the content was quite boring.

It's no exaggeration to say, "My Demon" is the hottest Korean movie title at the moment. Although the rating is not as high as other competitors, it is exploding on the Netflix platform and is highly sought after by Korean and international media and newspapers.

The word-of-mouth effect on social networking platforms at the present time is also quite good, causing the film to continuously stay at the top of the reputation and popularity rankings. It's so famous, but objectively speaking, is this an excellent work like the brilliant aura it is receiving?

After officially airing on November 24, "My Demon" quickly ranked top 1 in the list of most-watched TV series on Netflix Vietnam. The rating for the first episode of the movie was quite good at 4.5%, but in episode 2 it dropped sharply to 3.4%, accompanied by many negative reviews from the audience.

Still recognizing the screenwriter's efforts to vary the script, in reality, the film's story is not very new. Since "My Love from the Star" created a fever throughout Asia, Korean television has had a trend of making movies about love stories between humans and "non-humans".

The peak is the movie "Goblin", a work classified as a classic of Korean films in the 2010s, revolving around a timeless love story between goblins, the God of Death and mortals. Or just in 2023, there will be many such works, the most recent of which can be "The Moon Rises in the Day".

So when "My Demon" once again revolves around a love story that transcends space, time, barriers of identity plus the hidden memories of the past or past life relationships "as old as the Earth", the audience is lost. Must have curiosity about the film's content.

In terms of character setting details, the female lead Do Do Hee ( Kim Yoo Jung) is exceptionally talented, has an erratic temper, is a bit arrogant, and does not trust anyone; But behind that confident appearance is a wounded heart.

The male lead Gu Won ( Song Kang) is a cold, arrogant and powerful devil who always works according to principles. Although he always looks carefree, he actually hides a secret past.

These settings are all very basic. Although not identical, most movies with the same motif build characters based on these characteristics. Besides, using the devil - a character representing evil things in the popular conception - as the center of the story, aiming to exploit the dark sides of the human heart is also not an idea. new.

Placing the devil as the main character in a love story also unintentionally "glorifies" this image, creating a somewhat childish, forced, forced feeling like the content of novels for teenagers. So. Therefore, "My Demon" is not necessarily without depth, but it is a boring, stereotypical, uncreative work.

Right in the first episode, the movie had many holes. For example, in the first meeting between Do Do Hee and Jung Gu Won, it seemed like the scriptwriter wanted to create a humorous misunderstanding situation, but in fact this scene had the opposite effect. Instead of creating laughter, the two characters' conversation only made the audience feel frustrated and awkward.

Another example is at the end of episode 1, when Gu Won walked towards the car where Do Hee was sitting, but when he got closer, he saw that she was gone. At this time, the guy discovered Do Hee hiding outside the fence behind him. The whole way from the car to where Do Hee was hiding was not close, and to get there, she was forced to run past Gu Won, but he did not notice.

Even if he couldn't see it because of the thick smoke, Gu Won is also a devil, has super powers and is more sensitive to movements than normal people, could it be that he couldn't feel the girl moving past him? It can be seen that the details that the screenwriter created were quite forced, trying to amuse and create surprises but only made the film more lengthy and lacking in logic.
