My Demon Season 1 Episode 16 'Our Personal Heaven' aired January 20, 2024 on SBS as the finale of a 16-episode run that averaged 3.9 percent nationwide broadcast ratings and ranked second on Netflix's Global Top-10 TV (Non-English) during its streaming window. IMDb audiences scored the series 7.7; Rotten Tomatoes gave it 60 percent from 5 critics. The South China Morning Post had flagged narrative repetition as a series weakness; the finale's resolution of the demon's centuries-long arc is the element Song Kang and Kim You-jung carry across whatever structural limitations the writing left unaddressed. The episode delivers emotional closure for the central relationship without fully overcoming the mid-series pacing issues critics noted - a satisfying conclusion for viewers who came for the leads and stayed for their chemistry.
