My Demon (마이데몬)

THIS DRAMA IS FICTIONAL, AND IS NOT RELATED IN ANY WAY

TO ACTUAL PERSONS, PLACES, ORGANIZATIONS, SETTINGS, AND EVENTS

Mr. Jeong Gu-won.

Today, I'm making the greatest bet of my life

on this man.

Marry me.

I don't want to.

Why not? Just marry her.

That was the worst bet ever.

Do-hee.

Don't say anything.

Why would you follow me out right now?

To protect you.

I'm your bodyguard.

I keep my work and personal life separate.

I must've been crazy.

EPISODE 4 SWEET BUT DANGEROUS

-I want to hold it! -No!

-Let me hold it! -I said no!

Ta-da.

She's unbelievable!

Did you see that?

She proposed to him right in front of our eyes to rub it in!

I got stabbed in the back by my own mother.

Let's take legal action.

There's no point.

-Why not? -We both have already received

more than our statutory shares from Mother.

We won't get another penny.

Okay, let me think.

What if we claimed that Mom had Alzheimer's?

That her will is invalid since she was mentally unfit.

Attorney Jeong assisted her.

It's already been legally reviewed.

Shit!

Austin! Justin!

Come here, you little brats!

What do we do now, honey?

12 YEARS AGO

Do it by the book.

He should pay for what he's done.

I made a mistake because I was drunk.

I didn't know it was a person!

Mother!

Mother…

is driving you into a corner again.

If this is what she wanted,

I'll follow suit.

I'm pretty chill,

which means I already got over it.

Then why are you sitting back there?

My seat was always here.

Then why did you--

You probably want to explain in detail why you had to turn down my offer,

but I'm not interested.

-I wasn't going to explain-- -I haven't been sleeping well lately.

I wasn't in my right mind,

and it was a spur-of-the-moment thing like sleep-talking.

Don't tell me you thought I was being serious.

The proposal?

I wouldn't use such a grand term.

Then what else should I call a proposal?

An accident.

It would make a lot more sense to call it a small accident.

It doesn't matter to me either way.

What doesn't matter to you?

Calling it an accident?

Or that I wasn't being serious?

Or the fact that I proposed…

The fact that I sleep-talked?

If I had to answer, all three of them.

Just put on some music.

Play some uplifting music.

Will I ever get married?

Will I ever get married?

Next song.

It's already the end of the year

I even thought about marrying you

- With our own house -Next song.

With our own room

Will you marry me…

-Everyone's got marriage on their minds. -I said I don't!

…the rest of your life with me

The two of us…

I want some peace and quiet.

You wanted music a minute ago.

Turn off the music, please.

I won't let what happened today get in our business because I'm chill.

But you've been the very opposite…

TO DO-HEE

I don't feel hurt at all, probably because I never meant it.

It's just that I happened to notice Jeong Gu-won at that moment.

There's nothing more to…

I mean,

if you weren't going to marry me, why did you hit on me?

Why did you keep showing up in front of me?

Do that again,

and I'll drag you to our wedding with a snare around your neck.

TO DO-HEE

No, a tranquilizer gun would be better

since he's not human.

The ones they use on elephants.

Right in the neck with a dosage high enough

to knock out an elephant.

Bang.

I better stay out of her sight for now.

Jeong Gu-won?

I can't believe it.

They killed Aunt Cheon-suk over an audit? And now they're after you?

I need to find out who's behind it.

To do that,

I'll need to become chairwoman and form an audit team myself.

No, I think you should stay out of it.

You'll be in even more danger.

I'm already in danger anyway.

I can't be safe until the culprit is caught.

Still, Do-hee…

It's my fault.

It feels like

all of this happened because of me.

Madam Ju was killed while trying to leave her position to me.

And I was the one who warned her that something was up.

You know that's not true.

This was going to happen eventually.

You should be blaming the one who killed her.

That's why I need to find out

who did this.

Anyway…

The guy at the funeral…

He's the guy you went on a blind date with, right?

Was his name Jeong Gu-won?

-Yes. -I get that you were desperate,

but how could you think of marrying a guy you went on one date with?

He's a bit more than that.

Do you have feelings for him?

It's not like that.

He saved me multiple times.

So that's why you hired him as your bodyguard?

He's the one

who can keep me safe better than anyone else.

You're back.

Why do you always hang out in my office?

Because your office is nicer than mine.

How was the food?

What do chaebols serve at funerals?

It wasn't a funeral, but a party.

A surprise party at that.

-What? -Human greed knows no end.

Now that I'm her bodyguard, she wants me to marry her.

-Who does? -Who else? Do Do-hee.

She proposed to me today.

What?

Hold on.

So that movie was a true story?

What movie?

THE BODYGUARD

This is a movie about a singer and her bodyguard.

They hate each other's guts at first, but they fall in love.

We're not like that.

Do Do-hee said the proposal was just her sleep-talking.

Humans tend to be more sincere in situations like that.

In their sleep, while drunk…

That's when they let their guard down.

She said she wasn't being serious.

"Rule number one for bodyguards."

"Never let her out of your sight."

"Rule number two."

"Never stray far from her."

"Rule number three."

"Never…

fall in love with her."

This is my favorite romance movie.

I should've become a bodyguard, not a butler.

"No!"

That's nothing but human delusion.

What would you know when you're clueless about love?

I'm not clueless.

I'm just not swayed by something so stupid.

Love is a weakness.

Humans are already foolish,

and it only makes them even more foolish.

You're only like this because you didn't get enough love.

You would've become a guardian and not a demon

-if only you'd been loved. -Enough with your talk about guardians.

Cut it out and get back to work.

Look at that tower of papers.

I finished my work a while ago.

Those are for you.

All of them?

My goodness.

You can't possibly sleep on the sofa.

I won't.

I'll keep watch all night, so you can go to sleep.

I said I'm fine.

Do you think I'd get any sleep if I left you alone right now?

I won't, so I'd rather keep watch.

You know I can't sleep with another person under the same roof.

Then I'll be outside the door.

I was a Marine, remember?

I shouldn't have told you all that.
