“When Destiny Brings the Demon” hooked us with its refreshing dynamics between a modern slacker woman and a powerful, menacing grandmaster. But somewhere around the middle, the drama took a dive into subpar story tropes and underwhelming villains. Despite this, we managed to make it all the way through, saved by a redeeming ending. Take a listen and learn why we’d still recommend this drama and how we think people could enjoy it.
