Unveiling Gu-won's haunting past in My Demon Episode 12, fans were left stunned as his unexpected link to Do-hee's parents' tragic demise comes to light The enigmatic Madam Ju's connection to Gu-won adds a gripping layer to the storyline, leaving viewers intrigued and eager for more revelations
Episode 12 of My Demon uncovered Gu-won’s memories from his human life and dropped a bombshell reveal about his connection to the death of Do-hee’s parents. In this fan breakdown, we’ll dive into all the shocking details.
Netflix’s popular fantasy romance is filled with intertwining mysteries. Gu-won discovers more about his past life with Do-hee and the heartbreaking events that shaped their love story. The K-drama also exposes the unsettling truth about Madam Ju’s death, yet the mystery surrounding Do-hee’s parents remains unsolved.
The K-drama reveals that she lost her parents when she was young and was taken in by Madam Ju. However, subtle hints throughout suggest that she may have been involved in their deaths or knew something she never shared with Do-hee. Episode 12 of My Demon further unravels the mystery with a dramatic revelation about what happened that night, Gu-won's role, and Madam Ju's narrative.
Madam Ju knew Gu-won before her death
In the final moments of My Demon Episode 12, it is uncovered that Madam Ju witnessed Gu-won emerging after the car accident and setting fire to one of his contracts, which is believed to be connected to Do-hee's parents.
Gu-won's dreams finally unveiled the truth about his past life, revealing that he belonged to a wealthy or well-respected family during the Joseon era. While skipping classes, he encountered a young woman practicing traditional Korean dance by the river, who turned out to be Wol-sim, the past incarnation of Do-hee. Despite the obstacles posed by their differing social statuses, they fell in love, with Gu-won even embracing Christianity, a forbidden religion at the time, to be with her. Tragically, Wol-sim's involvement in secret meetings led to her death, driving Gu-won to a vengeful killing spree before taking his own life. Yet this was not the end of his connection to Do-hee.
At the end of My Demon Episode 12, new details about the death of Do-hee's parents are uncovered. Madam Ju was present at the car crash, which had previously been blamed on her. Her son discovers her attempting to wash away her guilt in the shower.
Before her death, Madam Ju appeared to have unresolved guilt. After the crash, Gu-won is seen almost content as he fulfills one of his contracts before burning it, suggesting that the deal has been completed. When he sees Madam Ju looking at him in shock, he smirks, indicating that he knows who she is.
My Demon fans theorize the truth behind the crash
Since My Demon Episode 12, there has been a surge of different theories, as fans are not completely convinced that Gu-won is to blame for the death of Do-hee's parents. After hearing about their heartbreaking love story from the past, many believe that there is more to the story.
Gu-won has been a demon for hundreds of years, making deals with humans in exchange for their souls. Initially, fans suspected Madam Ju's involvement in the car crash, but the episode revealed that Do-hee's father had worked for Madam Ju's company and was called in the night of the crash. The revelation that Gu-won was present at the scene and seen by Madam Ju has fans speculating about the connection between these events.
She was worried about not receiving Dohee's forgiveness because she believed her son was responsible and had protected him. Additionally, it’s possible that Dohee's parents made a deal to have a child, which might explain why it has been mentioned several times that they died on her 11th birthday.
"When Dohee's parents died in a car accident, some fans believe that Madam Ju may have been responsible, leading to her confession in Ep 2 out of fear of not receiving Dohee's forgiveness. In Ep 9, she is seen trying to wash away her sins, and in Ep 12, Guwon's smile raises suspicion," shared one fan on X/Twitter.
On the other hand, a different fan disagrees, suggesting, "I believe that Madam Ju feared not receiving Dohee's forgiveness because she knew her son was responsible and covered it up for him. Additionally, I think Dohee's parents may have made a deal to have a child, which could explain why it has been mentioned several times that they died on her 11th birthday."
Both contain essential truths. Madam Ju may have discovered her son's plan to harm Do-hee's parents. This would explain why she was present and seen seeking forgiveness. She was tormented by guilt for not stopping her son sooner. However, even with Gu-won's presence, Do-hee's parents were destined to die. My Demon emphasized that they died before her 11th birthday, and Gu-won's contract lasts 10 years.
Ultimately, Gu-won cannot be held responsible for their deaths. It was a coincidence that his clients died when they were supposed to due to human intervention. Fate intervened, as Madam Ju never encountered Gu-won again before he married Do-hee.
