What We Think

"My Demon" dips its toes into woke waters but doesn’t go full cannonball. The show delivers a mix of modern ideology and classic melodrama, making it more tolerable for non-woke audiences than most recent Western releases.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Woke

What is this?

While "My Demon" leans into some popular modern tropes and features a strong female lead, the show mainly keeps its focus on romance, character growth, and traditional K-drama storytelling. Emphasis on identity over deeper character development is present, but not overwhelming.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Woke

What is this?

The show has moments where traditional gender roles are subverted and some jabs at family or corporate culture appear, but overall still upholds a lot of standard cultural values (loyalty, filial piety, etc.) familiar in Korean dramas.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Woke

What is this?

There is a clear preference for modern outlooks on gender and relationships, with little representation of alternative views. Dissenting viewpoints are mostly sidestepped rather than explicitly mocked, but the tone is still unmistakably contemporary.
