More about Netflix's My Demon

The Love in the Moonlight actress Kim Yoo-jung plays Do Do-hee, a chaebol heiress with demonic tendencies. She is the only heir to the Mirae Group and resembles an icy princess who struggles with trust and finds it difficult to fall in love.

The show centers around Do Do-hee as she develops a romantic interest in a demon who spends his endless existence negotiating exciting and risky contracts with people. The two people's lives eventually take several twists after they get involved, and for self-serving motives, they eventually get married on a contract.

Meanwhile, Song Kang's character, Jeong Gu-won, despises humans and lacks empathy for them. He just utilizes his predatory tendencies to further his own agenda, which includes preserving his everlasting existence.

However, things start to change when he marries Do Do-hee on a contract. As per the drama's plot, Jeong Gu-won marries Do Do-hee, who had assumed control of his powers.

This incident occurred due to an accident in which Do Do-hee and Jeong Gu-won fell into the sea in episode 1, with the former having to rescue Gu-won. Gu-won loses all of his powers when his wrist tattoo transfers to Do-hee's wrist during the accident. After losing his magical abilities, he plots to marry Do-hee to safeguard her and the capabilities that he transported into her due to the accident.


My Demon has sixteen episodes, and new episodes will be released every Friday and Saturday at 11 pm KST on Netflix and SBS. Episodes 3 and 4 will be aired on December 1 and 2, 2023, respectively.
