Doom at Your Service: he need to hold her hand every day before midnight to recharge her so she won't feel pain from her brain tumor.
My Demon: he need to hold her wrist to use his power since his tattoo (the source of his power) is now on her wrist. Ergo, if he doesn't hold her wrist, he cannot access his demon power.
So, these 2 dramas have similar vibes, but different mechanism on how this holding hand/wrist works. And believe me, I ache for BOTH.

Moving aced all genres and emotions!
Moving has reshuffled my entire all time favourite Kdrama list - Kingdom stays at the Top, Moving comes second, followed by Hot Stove League and Reply 1988.
I have so much to write , so much to unpack - I’m rewatching it and will keep posting my thoughts!
I so love this drama and every single member of the cast! Everyone nailed the role they were given - big or small!
Of all the things I wanted to say about the Kdrama My Demon (2023), let me say three things I love the most:
Jeong Gu-won and Do Do-hee may just be one of the least toxic fictional couples there is. Even when they're confronted with shocking realizations and memories, they play it cool. It's quite a contrast to Song Kang's character in Nevertheless, Park Jae-eon. I hated his character's toxicity in that show. 😆
The demon's persona was not sugar-coated in this show. He is cold and calculating and won't blink twice to fulfill his mission, regardless of the cost. Those clocks in his office representing all the active deals he made with humans are a testament to that.
Just when you think something has been resolved, a new conflict arises. Hence, it's not like other shows where everything gets magically resolved in the last few episodes; sometimes it feels dragging too slow at the beginning and concluding too fast at the end. Uh, uh, not My Demon. There's an exciting twist to think about in almost every episode of this show.
That said, I rewatched it almost immediately after I finished watching. ✌🏻
Why would Jin ask Jimin when JK is right there? And why would Jimin give him permission? 🤔
Dogs cannot lie. And Bam being confused on who to follow is all the proof we need really.
But lets not forget about this part;
But don't take my word for it. Take it from the Doberman expert.
"If they're stretching out their neck, and pointing their nose towards you, staring right into your eyes with their ears back, that's a real sign that your dog has bonded with you"

This series is not perfect, but it is still good. It has a solid storyline, and great characters. Hong Hae In and Baek Hyun Woo have been married for 3 years and the love that had united them at the beginning seems to have disappeared in their distance and silence after a miscarriage that broke their hearts. When Baek Hyun Woo finally has the courage to present the divorce papers to Hong Hae In, she tells him she has a tumor and doesn't have much time left. His decision to stay with her gives them an unexpected chance at finding that love that had united them once. Family interactions between their very different families questions dynamics and help characters grow.
I like the fact that they didn't take the easy way out with our main antagonist. The story in itself is really good and I loved it, however, production was a bit careless with details that were too big to miss: Hae In's operation - how can a person with a brain tumor have a surgery with her hair intact. Or Hyun Woo's neck injury suddenly disappearing in a second, ext. These kind of details show some careless oversight. But we can forgive them - we laugh it off and keep watching to see what happens next.
Look, I'm not gonna lie. I started this drama for a very superficial reason: Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang are one of the most gorgeous couples I've ever seen. And tbh, that's one of the things that kept me watching until the end. The first half was pretty fun, thanks to their will-they-won't-they dynamic and some really funny supporting characters and recurring gags. Unfortunately, it began to drag around the middle part, and then it got more and more boring with each passing episode. By the time the final episode came out, I no longer cared about the plot, the characters or anything else (although the ending itself was quite nice). With all that in mind, I can't help but think My Demon would have worked much better as a movie.
Is anyone gonna write the JoongRyeon fic where Parkn Joong-gi is a subordinate of Ryeon’s team when he gets out of her for like six months ? Cause I crave that more than anything !
Okay but firstly Choi Mujin❤️🔥why was he so fine😮💨😮💨he looks so good in his suit as and all but when he’s not dressed in suits and he’s dressed down he looks even better. I was watching it and saying to myself I don’t think I’ll end up hating him like I usually would with villains.
