It isn’t too much of a stretch to imagine Song Kang as a handsome devil, but the twist in this tale is that all his supernatural powers come from a tiny tattoo. When the crucifix tattooed on Gu-won (Song Kang) inexplicably transfers itself upon Do-hee (Kim Yoo-jung), it turns out that the only way for Gu-won to access his powers is by holding Do-hee’s tattooed wrist. Needless to say, the only way forward for these two is to have a fake marriage. There’s a definite hint of Guardian: The Great and Lonely God (which introduced many of us to the swoonworthy Gong Yoo), but this one feels less problematic because Do-hee is very much her own woman and not a teenager who needs saving.
My Man is Cupid (Prime Video)
She (Nana) is a veterinarian whose love life seems doomed because becoming her boyfriend invariably means a near-death experience for the gent in question. He (Jang Dong-yoon) is a “human love fairy” who has lost his wings and one of his friends turns into a dog when he least expects it. The two of them are part of a posse of Korean cupids, complete with bow, love arrows and wings — and hanbok, naturally. You can only make this stuff up.
