Who became the chairperson of the Mirae Group?

The most deserving Ju Seok Hun aka Lee Sang Yi was chosen as the chairperson of the Mirae Group with everyone’s vote and nod.

What happened to Jin Ga Young?

Gayoung rescuing a child from domestic child abuse, similar to how Guwon saved her was probably the best part of the My Demon ending. Altering the entire conversation and assuring the child that there will always be someone to save them, was incredibly beautiful and heartwarming.

Jo Yeon Hee's character, Kim Sa Ra, the wife of Noah Sok Min, approached Do Do Hee in the finale to convey her desire to establish a place for children who are victims of domestic violence, after what happened to her own child.

My Demon overall review

Despite a promising beginning, My Demon experienced a gradual decline in domestic ratings, settling around 4.6 to 5 percent after starting at 9. However, this didn't hinder the show from becoming a massive global hit on Netflix. While the domestic K-drama market posed challenges, Song Kang's charisma consistently leading the series to become the most buzzworthy, with the actor himself earning the title of the most buzzworthy actor of the week each time. For those looking for a good escape, this is a must watch.
