My Demon ratings dropped, Song Kang - Kim Yoo Jung were called for responsibility

There are only a few episodes left until the end of My Demon, but towards the end, the viewership seems to decrease, the heat of the series is no longer the same as before, gradually causing people to stir.

My Demon, SBS's weekend drama, has now aired for 12 episodes and is only 4 episodes away from the end. Although the drama initially received a lot of attention for starring Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung, the best looking couple in the lead role, in fact, its viewership ratings have been steadily dropping for weeks.

In the latest episode 12, which aired on Jan. 6, My Demon's viewership ratings were just 2.9%, the lowest ever for the series. Previously, ratings had gradually declined after peaking in episode 8 (4.7%).

Many viewers believe that acting is the main reason for the decline in movie ratings. Although the cast is beautiful, both lead actor Song Kang and female lead Kim Yoo Jung have been criticized for their lack of acting skills. Besides, the screenplay was also not appreciated. Here are some audience comments:

"The plot seems a little silly... And the male lead acted badly, leading to the female lead's acting being bad too. SBS put too much faith in the appearance of the main cast. Now, it's failing."

Both lead actors are beautiful but not enough to help me ignore the bad acting skills of the lead couple."

"I can't believe an SBS weekend drama has a rating of only 2%... Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung are also no small names. The quality must have been a lot worse than I imagined."

"Song Kang's acting was terrible. Even Kim Yoo Jung was suspected in this drama."

"Honestly, I don't understand what the writer is trying to show. I wanted to keep watching the cast but I couldn't focus on the episodes."

The series has many details inspired by Christianity. The male protagonist is a demon, with the power to collect human souls. The tattoo mark on Jeong Gu Won's arm is in the shape of a cross. The characters repeatedly refer to angels, guardians - different ranks in Christianity. The screenwriter planted messages about greed, selfishness, human sin. Many characters sign contracts with demons to exchange their lives for m.oney and fame. But when the time comes to do it, they are greedy and afraid of d.eath, wanting to swallow their words.

On iMDb, many viewers commented that Song Kang suits the role when playing the devil, he plays action scenes well, showing magic. The actor said to lose 10 kg to give the character a more luxurious and attractive appearance. With scenes where Gu Won uses his powers, he focuses on acting with his eyes. Kim Yoo Jung plays the role of a young workaholic CEO.

The pair of actors were complimented by the audience as beautiful and natural when appearing side by side. While the female protagonist lives emotionally, the male protagonist considers emotions such as sadness, joy, anger to be meaningless. From accidentally meeting, misunderstanding, hating each other, the two characters are chained because of being bound by tattoos, gradually falling in love with the other half. They have many scenes of touching, hugging and kissing, "breaking the heart" of the female audience.

The work also has many amusing details, which are reposted by the audience a lot on social networks. Evil Jeong Gu Won is poisonous but honest by nature. His assistant and Do Do Hee's secretary often sparred with each other. Some characters appear little, such as the gangster Wild Dog, a prophetic beggar and Do Do Hee's employees, who also create laughter.

The drama is currently airing every Friday and Saturday night on SBS.
