Song Kang Dubbed as the New 'Romance Master' With His 'My Demon' Role

Song Kang has already portrayed various roles and worked on different genres of dramas in which he solidified his image as an emerging actor. Now that he is one of the in-demand leading men in the industry, the actor continues to amass popularity thanks to his new series "My Demon."

He plays the character of Jung Gu Won, a demon who loses his power. Different from his previous works, the heartthrob challenged himself to try out the comedy genre and served up stunning visuals that captivated the viewers. 

The "Sweet Home" star captures the audience's attention with his improved and deepening emotional performances as the story progresses. 

In "My Demon" episodes 7 and 8, Jung Gu Won realizes his growing feelings for Do Do Hee (Kim Yoo Jung) and starts his transformation into a more human-like being. After the cliffhanger in episode 6, despite being Do Do Hee next to him, the demon couldn't use his powers to escape their current situation. In order not to be caught by Noh Do Kyung (Kim Seung Ho), Gu Won surprisingly kissed Do Hee.

Song Kang Perfectly Conveys Jung Gu Won's Emotions

Song Kang's heart-fluttering performance during the episodes brought smiles to the viewers' faces. According to a source, the actor skillfully portrayed the complex emotions of a demon who once hated humans, now falling in love with a human, thereby heightening the audience's engagement. 

In addition, in "My Demon" episode 7, where Jung Gu Won desperately called Do Do Hee even when he was in deep pain from Kwang Cheol's attack, delivered a mix of shock and profound emotion.

This specific incident notably deepened his feelings for Do Do Hee. Unfortunately, a crisis fell in their love story when he failed to understand Do Hee's decision to withdraw from the chairman candidacy. 

Later on, after he realizes that Do Do Hee has given up the position and thinks that she might also lose him, Song Kang expresses his feelings with a passionate kiss. 

Song Kang conveniently portrays Gu Won's awakening to the emotion of love and his gradual acceptance of it. The actor's ability to switch off emotions and characters from cute, playful romantic, comedy, and heart-wrenching, intense romance has not only piqued the interest of the viewers, but also led foreign fans to catch Song Kang's transitional image as the new 'Romance Master.'

Furthermore, catch Song Kang every Friday and Saturday at 10 p.m. (KST) on SBS and Netflix.
