AKP STAFF

Actors Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang have once again demonstrated their remarkable global appeal. According to the official Netflix TOP 10 on December 20 KST, the SBS drama 'My Demon' garnered an impressive 4.2 million views and accumulated 33.6 million viewing hours from December 11 to December 17. As a result, it secured a coveted spot in the Netflix Global TOP 10, ranking 2nd in the TV category for non-English content.

This achievement marks a significant increase compared to the previous week, solidifying 'My Demon's status as a global sensation by consistently maintaining its position in the weekly TOP 10 for four consecutive weeks. Notably, the drama claimed the number one spot in several countries, including Indonesia, Vietnam, Nigeria, and the Maldives. It also made it to the top 10 in a whopping 50 countries worldwide, including Korea, Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Chile, Greece, India, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Thailand.

'My Demon' is a fantasy romantic comedy that revolves around the contract marriage between the devilish heiress Do Do Hee (portrayed by Kim Yoo Jung) and the devil Gu Won (played by Song Kang), who temporarily loses his powers. Currently, the drama has aired up to 8 episodes, with episode 8 achieving its highest viewership rating of 4.7%.

While the blossoming romance between Do Hee and Gu Won continues to captivate viewers, the global audience's response to Kim Yoo Jung and Song Kang has been overwhelmingly positive. Song Kang, in particular, has gained significant attention for his role in the recently released Netflix series 'Sweet Home.' With Season 2 also generating buzz, Song Kang's star power is poised to shine even brighter in the future.

this is one of those drama that asks you to "ignore everything about the plot and setting and focus on how beautiful a couple our main leads make". SK viewers called BS hence the low rating, but international viewers are lapping it up. A bit of a reminiscent to Psycho but It's Okay, which was a huge hit overseas but just so-so domestically.
