Song Kang And Kim Yoo Jung Dish On “My Demon” + Whether They’d Accept An Offer From The Devil

Nov 21, 2023

In a recent interview and pictorial for Elle Korea magazine, Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung talked about their upcoming drama “My Demon”!

“My Demon” is a new fantasy rom-com about the contractual marriage between Do Do Hee, a demon-like chaebol heiress who doesn’t trust anyone (played by Kim Yoo Jung), and Jung Gu Won, an actual demon who unexpectedly loses his powers (played by Song Kang).

For centuries, Jung Gu Won has enjoyed eternal life by making dangerous yet enticing deals with humans who put their souls on their line to escape their hellish realities. However, after over 200 years of a relaxing life at the top of the food chain, Jung Gu Won suddenly finds himself in peril when Do Do Hee inadvertently “steals” his powers in the blink of an eye. In order to prevent his own demise, the now powerless demon winds up having to follow Do Do Hee around and protect her as he tries to figure out how to get his abilities back.

Reflecting on her approach to her character, Kim Yoo Jung remarked, “In terms of both her personality and her background, Do Do Hee is different in many ways from the characters I’ve played up until now. However, I didn’t want to force anything unnatural because of that [in terms of my acting]. Rather, I tried to move freely within the character. Because [Do Do Hee] is a character that’s extremely true to her emotions, the spectrum of feelings I portrayed was very broad.”

Meanwhile, Song Kang confessed that he had struggled with certain aspects of his role. “When I read the script, I thought that the comedic elements were very strong,” he said. “But once we started acting, there were a lot of difficult aspects [to the character], such as the way his tone of voice is overflowing with confidence. Gu Won is a character who truly loves himself a lot.”

When asked what he would do if he received an offer from the devil, Song Kang replied, “I’m someone who finds happiness in the little things, so I don’t think I’d accept any offer. Waking up in the morning and going to the gym, then coming back and reading a book while taking a bath. I find happiness in those kinds of things.”

Finally, Kim Yoo Jung revealed her current hobbies by sharing, “I’ve recently gotten really into brain science, so I’ve been watching a lot of videos about it. I’ve also been looking for and reading books that explain the brain and genes in a scientific way.”
