    Honestly...

    This was AMAZING! I watched it out of curiosity more than anything and I ended up loving it! It is such a refreshing theme and concept. A bit like modern day girl power. Also reminded me at times of the powerpuff girls!

    I don't really know or follow anything about KPop but this seems rammed full with K-pop culture references. Almost like a beginners guide.

    The music is classic K-Pop though.

    I just loved it. Probably not the most helpful review. But I really enjoyed so many aspects. The storyline, character development, relationship dynamics, the music, the production design... all of it!

    I loved each individual female character as well.

    Will definitely watch it again!

    I need a sequel!!!

    I've been watching the trailer on repeat since it first dropped, and after finally seeing the full movie, I can honestly say it exceeded all my expectations. What stood out to me the most was the way it explored the theme of self-acceptance. The characters aren't perfect-they make mistakes, they have fears, and they face struggles-but that's what makes them so real and relatable. The film reminds us that it's okay to be flawed, and that we don't need to hide our insecurities from the people who care about us. Vulnerability isn't weakness-it's a kind of strength. And sometimes, showing our true selves, even the parts we think are "too much," is exactly what helps us grow and connect more deeply with others.

    The music was another huge highlight for me. Every song was super catchy and I've already added several tracks to my Spotify playlist. I also loved the performance scenes-they were dynamic, visually stunning, and full of personality.

    Visually, the film is breathtaking. The character designs, costumes, and animation are all so detailed and vibrant. You can clearly see the love and effort that went into every frame. Each character has a distinct style that reflects their personality, and the fusion of K-pop aesthetics with demon-hunting action creates a world that feels both exciting and immersive.

    And I can't forget to mention the "enemies to lovers" subplot-it had me hooked from the start! That kind of dynamic is one of my favorites, and this one was done so well. The chemistry, the tension, the emotional payoff... it gave me all the feels. I laughed, I teared up, and I was totally invested in their journey. By the end, I was left wanting more-and honestly, I really hope there's a sequel on the way.

    Your insecurities are not your scars

    The movie offers a great explanation and reassurance that your insecurities and your mistakes do not make you who you are. It has some of the best twists I've seen in a long time. It allows a great look into Korean pop culture and the songs not only help with the plot but also aren't a typical Disney song. The animation is stunning and beautiful. My only complaint is the lip sinc for some of the songs don't quite match up but to have a complete original movie that can be enjoyed by all audiences and never lags in plot, storytelling, or animation is what makes this movie so great. Also this movie took 9 years to make. People have put their blood, sweat, and tears into it. I just wish it was more available on other platforms.

    K-Pop Demon Hunters is the movie I didn't know I was waiting for

    I walked into this expecting flashy visuals and a few catchy songs. I walked out emotionally wrecked, fully converted, and desperately trying to find the soundtrack.

    This film is everything. The acting is next-level; every performance feels lived-in, even with all the genre craziness. These aren't just idols fighting demons, they're friends, sisters, legends in the making. I cared about every single one of them, which made every twist hit that much harder. The writing balances emotional depth with pop-culture fun. There are genuine character arcs, sharp humor, and moments of real heartbreak. It doesn't rely on tropes, it plays with them, elevates them. And the music. My god, the MUSIC. Not just earworms, these tracks are woven into the story. A power ballad becomes a battle cry. A training montage becomes a music video. A finale turns into a full-blown pop opera. It's genius.

    Stylish, heartfelt, funny, fierce, and totally original. This isn't just a movie, it's a whole vibe. I'll be thinking about it (and rewatching it) for a long time.

    IMMACULATE AND REFRESHING

    My favourite animated movie in a long time. Very refreshing and original idea. It was much deeper and meaningful than I thought it would be - I originally just anticipated to watch a surface level kids show but this is not that. I love the characters and the plot. The songs were so good too!! Let's not forget the amazing lyrics. The humour too! The only flaw is that there's no part 2 😭

    If you're looking for a light hearted but meaningful movie with bangers to jam to, then this is the movie. All the songs are in my Spotify now haha.

    I also would love to chat more about the underlying and subtle meanings about the kpop industry in general. I think this show is like a metaphor for what's currently going on there. Really great.

    • Trivia
      There is a deeper meaning to the name "Saja Boys." The Korean word "saja" can mean lion and we see that their logo and branding include lion imagery. However, in Korean folklore "jeoseung saja" are grim reaper figures who escort the souls of the dead to the afterlife. Typical depictions of jeoseung saja show them wearing a black hanbok and a gat (wide brimmed hat) just like the Saja Boys in their demon forms.
