My Demon Episode 10 begins with Gu-won’s anguished conversation with the deity (Arabica woman). She confirms that only one of them can live — Do-hee must die for Gu-won to regain his demonic powers. The “roulette of fate” has already begun spinning. Devastated by the impossible choice, Gu-won returns home and hides his turmoil behind a cheerful facade.
Meanwhile, Ga-young meets Seok-hoon and reveals Gu-won’s true nature as a demon. She lies that he intends to steal Do-hee’s soul, claiming the tattoo is the source of his power and the reason he stays close to her. Troubled, Seok-hoon researches demons and grows increasingly alarmed.
At Suk-min’s house, tension lingers despite his apparent victory. Do-hee has relinquished her inheritance, paving the way for Suk-min to become chairperson. A flashback shows Suk-min’s first hostile encounter with young Do-hee when Cheon-sook brought her home — he instantly marked her as an enemy. He deletes his messages with Gwang-chol, unaware that Do-gyeon is monitoring them via a cloned phone.
Gu-won and Do-hee spend a tender evening together — eating her overly salty cake, discussing the end of the world, and falling asleep during a movie. Gu-won quietly fears losing her. He carries her to bed, where she murmurs in her sleep, asking him to stay. Heartbroken, he whispers that he is going somewhere she cannot follow.
Under the full moon, Gu-won visits the deity again. Defiant and hopeful, he proposes a new deal: a bet that if he regains his powers, Do-hee lives. The deity dismisses his faith as baseless, but Gu-won refuses to give up. He later instructs Bok-gyu to organize his affairs, leading Bok-gyu to realize Gu-won is preparing for death. Ga-young forces the truth out of him.
The next morning, Gu-won tells Do-hee about the full moon ritual in Sokcho to recover his tattoo. Excited, she calls it their honeymoon and spends the morning planning online. Ga-young visits Do-hee and reveals the life-or-death stakes. She hands Do-hee a bottle of poison, urging her to sacrifice herself instead. Gu-won interrupts, harshly reminding Ga-young she means nothing to him.
Do-hee demands the full truth. After speaking with Bok-gyu, she chooses hope. She tells Gu-won they will fight together until the end. Moved, he embraces her tightly.
Ga-young continues meddling, warning Seok-hoon that Do-hee’s soul is in danger and urging him to intervene during the ritual. Meanwhile, Suk-min is officially named chairperson in a grand ceremony. He gloats that he has finally become the “devil” his mother accused him of being. Su-ahn remains uneasy, sensing something is off.
Gu-won visits the police, expressing concern that the knife found in Gwang-chol’s body was the same one used to stab him — possibly a message for him or Do-hee. Knowing he may die that night, he asks the detectives to protect Do-hee if anything happens to him.
Gu-won and Do-hee travel to Sokcho, reminiscing about their journey together while awaiting the full moon. At a gas station, Do-hee enters the convenience store to buy a postcard and cake for later celebration.
In a horrifying revelation, Suk-min discovers Do-gyeon cloned his phone. He tortures his son with a branding iron, declaring he will “fix” him and make him useful. Se-ra, listening through earphones to block out Do-gyeon’s screams, does nothing. Desperate to prove himself, Do-gyeon drives his car straight into the convenience store where Do-hee is standing.
The building erupts in flames. Seok-hoon and Ga-young arrive simultaneously. Ga-young tries to stop Gu-won from entering, warning they may both die. Gu-won declares he cannot live without Do-hee and rushes inside. Seok-hoon, initially frozen by panic, eventually calls for help.
Inside the burning store, Gu-won finds Do-hee’s goodbye letter — she planned to sacrifice herself so he could live. Struck by falling debris, he collapses. The deity watches impassively, noting that choosing each other is human nature and destiny.
Gu-won regains consciousness and crawls to Do-hee. As he takes her hand, the tattoo transfers back to him. His powers return, allowing him to rescue them both. Seok-hoon and Ga-young watch in relief as Gu-won emerges carrying an unconscious Do-hee. She awakens and, stunned, asks how they both survived. He explains the tattoo returned to him. They gaze at each other in love and disbelief.
Episode Review
Episode 10 is steeped in melancholy, sacrifice, and quiet hope. Gu-won’s internal struggle to shield Do-hee from the devastating truth is heartbreaking, and his decision to fight fate rather than accept it showcases profound character growth. The couple’s tender, everyday moments — salty cake, sleepy movie nights, and hopeful planning — contrast powerfully with the looming danger, making their bond feel even more precious.
Ga-young’s obsessive interference becomes increasingly frustrating. Her actions — revealing secrets, offering poison, and meddling with Seok-hoon — feel increasingly destructive. One wonders why Gu-won continues to tolerate her presence.
The final twist is shocking: Do-gyeon, desperate for his father’s approval, crashes into the store in an act of extreme violence. Suk-min’s cruelty toward his own son is laid bare, cementing him as the true mastermind. Se-ra’s passive complicity is equally disturbing.
The closing scene — Gu-won and Do-hee emerging from the flames, tattoo restored, gazing at each other in awe — is deeply moving and cathartic. Their mutual choice to protect one another over personal survival is the emotional payoff the series has been building toward. With six episodes remaining, the stakes remain sky-high. Suk-min’s reign, Do-gyeon’s fate, Seok-hoon’s suspicions, and the deity’s ominous watchfulness promise more twists and heartbreak ahead.
