Song Kang won’t leave Kim Yoo-jung’s side in new teaser

by Jenzy

Okay — hottie oppa or not — I don’t know if I’d want my bodyguard to be that devoted to the job, but I digress. In the newest teaser for SBS’s My Demon, Song Kang (Forecasting Love and Weather) shows us he’s serious about his bodyguard role toward Kim Yoo-jung (Lovers of the Red Sky), laying out his duties in a convenient, self-aggrandizing summary.

See, while the powerful demon Jung Gu-won (Song Kang) may have been able to feed off human souls for the past 200 years in relative peace, all of his plans fall to the wayside one day when he meets Do Do-hee (Kim Yoo-jung), a prickly chaebol heiress, and finds his powers don’t work unless he is with her. This pickle gets our anti-romantic leads to compromise on a system for the both of them. Because Gu-won needs Do-hee to use his powers, he enters her employment as a personal bodyguard.

So that leads us to the teaser, where Gu-won gives us the three rules in his bodyguard handbook. Rule One: Only have eyes for Do-hee. As he leeeeans into her car window, he smirks to himself at how easy it is while Do-hee wonders what the heck this handsome psycho is doing. Rule Two: Never leave Do-hee’s side. Another self-described piece of cake for Gu-won, although Do-hee certainly doesn’t look thrilled to be dragged into a bathroom stall with him while he does his business.

But as the teaser progresses, it looks like Rule Three: Don’t fall in love starts to become a harder rule for both of our leads. A voiceover tells us that there’s obviously a reason Gu-won has been single for 200 years — because he distrusts people’s tendency to use others for their own gain. However, Do-hee starts poking holes in his cynical worldview, like in a scene where he is getting beat up by thugs and she runs to him, leaving him with a shocked: “There’s no way…”

In the final scene, as Gu-won gently bandages Do-hee’s hand, he recites to himself Rule Three and admits, “This is hard.” Commence the ear-shattering squees from the audience!

Written by Choi Ah-il (Mr. Queen) and directed by Kim Jang-han (You Raise Me Up), My Demon will premiere on November 24 on SBS.
