Song Kang has become the most buzzworthy actor of the week, owing to the explosive popularity of his ongoing drama, My Demon. Other than the intriguing plotline and stellar cast, the SBS drama has everyone hooked with its intense chemistry between the leads. Following the premiere of episodes 7-8 last week, which delved deep into Song Kang’s conflicting feelings for his wife Kim Yoo Jung and took viewers on a thrilling ride with an attempted murder and killer on the loop, the drama has bagged third position in Netflix’s Global Top 10 list of most-watched series.

More dramas that have made a significant buzz in December include Sweet Home Season 2, Soundtrack #2, and Death’s Game.
