Kim Yoo-jung meets My Demon Song Kang in the rain

by tccolb

The first teaser has landed for SBS’s new fantasy rom-com My Demon, where fate brings Kim Yoo-jung (Lovers of the Red Sky) and Song Kang (Forecasting Love and Weather) together in matrimony, to love and to cherish until ~~death~~ the contract do them part.

Playing a classic chaebol archetype, our heroine Do Do-hee (Kim Yoo-jung) is described as cold, prickly, and distrustful of others. But her personality and cynicism were shaped by her experiences growing up, always being treated like an alien in the Mirae Group, despite being an heiress to the conglomerate.

Do-hee’s heart is now guarded by fortress walls, but as we’re shown in the new teaser, even Do-hee isn’t immune to the all powerful magic of K-dramas. With pretty flowers and soft rain setting the atmosphere, our leads meet under the umbrella to stare endlessly into each other’s eyes. This can only mean luuvvv.

Although our hero Jung Gu-won (Song Kang) looks human, he’s actually a trickster demon and has been gluttonously preying off human souls for the last 200 years. But something goes awry when Gu-won encounters Do-hee and his demon powers disappear. The events then lead to our story’s contract relationship as Gu-won tries to restore his powers and prevent his own extinction.

Sadly for me, I’m probably going to sink on the second lead ship with the series also starring Lee Sang-yi (Han River Police). As the free-spirited and kind Joo Seok-hoon, CEO of Mirae Investments, Seok-hoon is the only person that Do-hee trusts within the greater Mirae Group.

Directed by PD Kim Hang-han (You Raise Me Up, Do You Like Brahms) with scripts by Choi Ah-il (Mr. Queen), SBS’s My Demon is slated to premiere on November 24, taking over the weekend slot following 7 Escape: War for Survival.
