Kim Yoo-jung signs a contract with Song Kang in My Demon
by lovepark
Fantasy romance My Demon over at SBS has released behind-the-scenes looks of its first script reading. The show stars Kim Yoo-jung (Lovers of the Red Sky) as a cold-hearted heiress who agrees to a contract marriage with Song Kang (Forecasting Love and Weather), a demon who recently lost his powers. Besides our two beautiful leads, plenty of familiar and talented faces fill out the rest of the cast, promising strong performances all around.
Kim Yoo-jung plays Do Do-hee, an heiress to Mirae Group with a cold personality and cynical outlook on love. She learned from a young age the order of the world and is described as a “salt latte” type of person: prickly but soft, delicate yet strong. Do-hee is against the idea of marriage, but that all changes when she signs a contract with a demon.
In the role of the perfect and deadly demon Jung Gu-won is Song Kang, and like his leading lady, he is also a firm believer in singledom. For the last 200 years, Gu-won spent his life as an apex predator, feeding off of human souls, but the moment he gets entwined with Do-hee, his powers suddenly disappear. In order to avoid extinction, he must protect her at all cost, and along the way, he finds himself changing, as well.
No K-drama romance would be complete without its second leads, and stepping into the role of CEO of Mirae Investments Joo Seok-hoon is Lee Sang-yi (Han River Police). He is the nephew of the founder of Mirae Group and the only person Do-hee feels kinship towards, so when Gu-won appears by her side, something inside him starts to stir.
On the demon side of things, Jo Hye-joo (The Secret Romantic Guesthouse) plays Jin Ga-young, the human companion to Gu-won. A dancer with a talent for dual sword-wielding, she believes Gu-won saved her life and is unhappy with Do-hee’s unannounced presence.

Delving deeper into Mirae group, at the head of the conglomerate is founder Joo Cheon-sook played by Kim Hae-sook (Strong Girl Nam-soon). Unable to trust her own children, she treats Do-hee specially, but in reality, she hides a big secret.
Playing Cheon-sook’s eldest son and CEO of Mirae Electronics Noh Seok-min is Kim Tae-hoon (My Dearest), and at his side is his wife and Director of Mirae Electronics Kim Sae-ra played by Jo Yeon-hee (One Dollar Lawyer). The nepotism continues, though, with their only son Noh Do-kyung — played by Kang Seung-ho (Tracer) — acting as the GM of Mirae Electronics and described as a two-faced person.
In the role of Cheon-sook’s second daughter and CEO of Mirae Apparels Noh Soo-ahn is Lee Yoon-ji (Mimicus). A mother of twins, she appears elegant but reverts back to her original personality around her kids.
Finally, rounding out the cast is Do-hee’s right-hand person Secretary Shin played by Seo Jung-yeon (My Lovely Liar), and Gu-won’s first contract Park Bok-kyu played by Heo Jung-do (The Deal). Secretary Shin knows what Do-hee is thinking from just her eyes, while Bok-kyu acts as Gu-won’s helper all thanks to a deal he made with him 200 years ago.
Directed by PD Kim Jang-han (You Raise Me Up, Do You Like Brahms) and written by Choi Ah-il (Mr. Queen), SBS’s My Demon premieres on November 24 in the weekend slot.
