Doom at Your Service (2021)

ÍCONE INJUSTIÇADO

Não ia fazer resenha, mas acho que esse drama está sendo muito injustiçado nesse site e me vejo obrigada a defender essa obra de arte (também conhecida como motivo do meu colapso hehe)

Ele está classificado como fantasia, mas acho que isso acaba gerando expectativas que não serão atendidas. Eu diria que a história usa o contexto fantástico como desculpa para abordar coisas mais profundas com uma sensibilidade absurda. Portanto, a história não explora tanto assim esse aspecto fantasioso do enredo, o que pode ser uma pena dependendo das suas motivações para assistir. No entanto, se você tá procurando uma história de amor daquelas "meu mundo mudou completamente desde que tu entrou na minha vida", esse drama definitivamente é para você.

Não encontro palavras para descrever a experiência e ainda assim sinto que poderia passar o dia inteiro falando sobre os nuances do enredo... Foi realmente mágico acompanhar os dois se apaixonando um pelo outro enquanto cresciam individualmente. Em certo momento, os episódios podem parecer monótonos se comparados aos primeiros, mas eles são essenciais para construção dos personagens, sem falar que extremamente belos e sensíveis. Além disso, os personagens secundários são cativantes e gostei muito de cada um deles ~para ser sincera, teve uma fase que eu não estava muito satisfeita com o triângulo amoroso, mas acabei gostando de como terminou, principalmente porque vi que Lee Hyun amadureceu bastante.

Nem preciso mencionar o elenco: eles são incríveis e executaram perfeitamente os papéis, principalmente Park Bo Young e Seo In Guk. Eu não perdia nem um behind the scenes simplesmente porque era fascinante ver eles esbanjando química dentro e fora das telas.

Por último, trilha sonora P-E-R-F-E-I-T-A!!! Todas OSTs foram lindas, mas definitivamente um marco: I'M BREAKING DOWWWWN!

ENTÃO SIM, vale a pena pelo menos dar uma chance ~se for o caso, não se esqueça de dar atenção para os termos do contrato que eles falam logo nos primeiros episódios, vi muita gente ficando confusa por causa disso hihi

PS.: Temos Park Bo Young cantando BTS e assistindo Hotel del Luna!!!

OKAY GUYS, IT WAS OVERALL OKAY!

The acting was super cool. The story and diaologues were very poor at the last eps. Wished if it had super twists. Seems it did not met my expectations. Anyways, Loved the acting and chemistry so much. And I pray to god, Please don't let Tae Oh to act in these roles. He is so good. His role in this drama was like a bit unwanted, annoying and he had only like 5 minutes screentime or something. Park Boyoung and Seo In Guk was super perfect. But the story was kinda boring at last. Normally, we see a bigger twist in last eps of fantasy dramas. If writer improved the story, It would have been good. Dawoon was super cool. He really made proud SF9 and fantasies for his acting. He was super cute too. Lee Soo Hyuk and Shin Do Hyun was super cool. Especially I loved Soo Hyuk's deep voice. But their relationship had no improvement. Anyways, I hope watchers can find this as a time-pass drama. Overall, It's okay!

Refreshingly complete

I don't write reviews but I have to say that this was the best show I have seen in a long time. It had the right amount of mystery, fantasy, romance, and comedy. Never once did I feel like the show was boring or dragging.

One thing a lot of shows fail to do is to develop the storyline outside of the main characters but this show did not disappoint. I know a lot of people complained that the last 2 episodes seemed like filler episodes but I believe that they were necessary to understand the lives of the other characters. It was really refreshing to see them tie up all loose ends and it made the happy ending seem so genuine.

I was so scared that if this show was to have a happy ending it would be rushed and would have preferred a bittersweet ending, but the writers proved me wrong. I did not see them making Sa ram (Myul Mang) human and the way it happened was so meticulously executed. I grew to like characters I was wary of such as dora the destroyer, Lee Hyun Kyu, the ceo who flew to Bali with his wife??? I even grew to love Kevin and his one-sided interactions with the rest of the family.

I absolutely loved the character arcs that Tak Sun Kyung went through and how he was able to find himself while being there for his sister during her "final' days. I loved the relationship that every character had with each other. The communication in this show is so healthy and is what I dream of in a perfect world.

I was truly pleased with the love triangle as the sub plot for the second-lead characters and how it was handled. I really loved how each scene, even when repeated had a different meaning than when it was originally shown (like when na ji na and lee hyun kyu first met in the hallway and their last meeting; showing when she fell in love with him and when she was finally over him)

I honestly did not mean to write this much but DAYS has been such a refreshing show to watch that I still have more to say. I love it even more that there was no final kiss between TDK and KSM because it shows that their love is still ongoing even when the cameras are not rolling.

Anyone who feels let down by this show should try rewatching without comparing it to other kdramas because it is in its own category. I will forever miss KSM asking to kill people for TDK and the writers' little crush on TDK (I forgot his name but his scenes with her were so adorable compared to his scenes with KSM).

The writers did an amazing job with the story line, the subbers were amazing as well because if it wasn't for them I would have missed out on this great show. I think it will be a while before I find another Kdrama that I will love more than DAYS.

Too much negative reviews for this beautiful show so i'm writing a positive one.

Fantasy romance drama fans, hello.
We love Korean fantasy stories and how they make super unique characters and make us fall in love with them and the story. Of course, there were many dramas that failed, but this one made it.
What I want to talk about the most is how this show didn't use any non-likeably characters just to make more content. All the characters in the drama are likable.
I really don't like when the characters fall in love too fast with each other, trying to emphasize the modern culture of fast relationships, I also hate it when the characters keep fighting the whole series and only in the end they fall in love with each other. BUT this show had the perfect timing for everything. not too fast, not too slow.
Super handsome Seo In Guk, amazingly adorable Park Bo Young, the perfect chemistry made the show even more beautiful. I also like how they talked without honorifics since the start.
It's been a while since I shed some tears, but this show was able to do it!
Very recommended.

The tears I shed could fill up 10 bathtubs

My high rating for this drama might be a result of me watching it over 2 months rather than the usual 3 days that it takes me to finish a kdrama. Because of this, I may have forgotten some things that originally may have displeased me. This drama seems to get many bad reviews, and while I can sort of see why, I invested myself so emotionally in the plot and the characters for the past 2 months that I just don’t have the heart to give this drama the low rating that many think it deserves. While the directing was rather confusing (at some points I had to double check to make sure I didn’t skip like 20 minutes of the drama) and I didn’t care about the 2nd leads all that much, I loved the leads to pieces and just wanted them to be happy. I cried during almost every episode in the second half of the drama, and the days that I would watch Doom At Your Service I felt very melancholy and a little hopeless. The emotional impact of the drama rubbed off on me quite a bit, but I’m not even mad about it. I’d have to argue that the ending for this drama was personally the best ending that I could have wished for them, and I was very glad to see the drama slow down on the doom and gloom and give us the most slice-of-life type ending ever. My last hour watching this drama I just sat in bed curled up with my giant pug body pillow and smiled the whole time. It was perfect. The OST was incredible, and the main leads were perfectly picked out. I don’t know if I could ever bring myself to watch this drama again because I am so afraid to ruin its magic, but I can very confidently say that this drama is one of my favorite dramas of all time nonetheless, flaws and all.

Just what I needed

After finding out that park bo young and seo in guk were going to be in this drama I just had to watch it. That doesn’t always guarantee a great story but I personally loved this one. It was an interesting mix of melodrama, romance and comedy.

Since hearing the storyline I was very worried it would have a sad ending. Call me old fashioned but I love happy endings. Open or sad endings just leave me feeling uneasy and upset.

I loved our two main leads, gotta give major props to their acting because the emotions and nuances they were able to portray in their characters really made me fall I love with them as a couple throughout the drama. The side characters were also well fleshed out and didn’t have me skipping all of their scenes which I do tend to do because most of the time dramas just use them as filler and don’t give them much thought.

The OST’s were perfect and overall I loved the vibe and tone throughout the drama. The ending was beautiful and was one of those dramas that makes me feel like I need a bit before starting a new drama. That’s how I know I truly like a drama when I don’t want to move on. The only thing that would have made it even more perfect is if they would have gotten married lol. But I did love that the last episode highlighted that this isn’t the end for our lovely characters but the beginning of Kim SA Ram’s new life as a human and a new chapter in their lives. They deserve it after putting their lives and destiny on the line for each other .

Worth the Hype: Slow Burn, Enemies to Lovers, Fantasy-Romance Drama (watch for the 5 leads!!)

Wonderful acting, sizzling chemistry, stunning visuals, great humor, beautiful and innovative cinematography, and a breathtaking soundtrack! This is a unique, slow-burn drama and a gift that keeps on giving. If you liked Goblin, Tale of the Nine-Tailed, or Hotel Del Luna, then this fantasy romance is for you!!

Pay attention to the story, dialogue, and characters, and you'll become immersed in this new, enchanting, and thrilling world. Kudos to the director, writer, and crew because the visual effects, storytelling, and production quality are top-notch--the transitions and dream sequences are pure perfection. So aesthetically pleasing and a joy to watch.

STORY: The drama is more dialogue-heavy and character-oriented than action-driven. It depends on metaphors, symbolism, and poetic imagery to explore the love story between a dying human who wants life and an immortal deity who wants death. With such a larger-than-life storyline, the plot can feel slow at first (especially during episodes 1&2) but I think this is intentional. Each episode is better than the last and you lose track of time while watching! By episodes 3&4, the drama picks up the pace (much like Vincenzo) and definitely raises the stakes. Think of each episode as the missing piece of the puzzle, and pay close attention to details. I sense some plot twists and tears in store!

ACTING: Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young are phenomenal in their roles, and oh, the CHEMISTRYYY! The (sexual) tension between the leads, the intense gazes, bickering, and banter, everything is to die for! I'm a sucker for enemies-to-lovers plots!! LSH, KTO, and SDH are also great so far, despite minimal screentime. There's a lot of dialogue between characters in this drama, and it requires skill to keep the audience engaged throughout such long exchanges, so I'm very impressed so far. I am also a long-time fan of our five leads so watching all of them in one drama is a dream come true!

MUSIC: I'm waiting for TVN to release the OST! The background music is mellow, subtle, and unintrusive. I love it so much and can't wait to add the songs and instrumentals to my playlist!

REWATCH VALUE: We are only four episodes in, but I can tell this drama will be on my favorites list. I literally cannot handle two-eps per week, I need more!! I can watch this drama--especially the leads--all day. Can't wait to binge this after it's completed! :))

True meaning of life

Just gotta say this drama is by far one of the greatest storyline around. I just binged watched 11 episodes and wow wow wow. This is definitely a must watch drama on top of a great cast with amazing chemistry. It gave me a new look on life in the eyes of doom and god. It touches so many levels of emotions when your told you have cancer and 3months to live. Do you do nothing? Do you try surgery? Do you live the life you wanted with no regrets? Do you share your feelings and worries with family and friends or pretend to be strong? I wonder how Dong Kyung would have handled everything if she didn't yell for Doom? It really makes you think of life and how you are progressing good or bad. I loved the way he Myeol mang aka sa win handled all the bad seeds of humanity and makes them suffer the way they killed/hurt there victims. Especially the knife guy who tries to kill himself but doom won't let him die instead lets him hear the voices & screaming of his victims and there families. EP11-14 He was put in this world as the middle man taking care of the bad things to balance God's good things. He has been there thru God's reincarnation as she takes on the pain and suffering of those that ask, unfortunately she gets reborn in body that dies from a bad heart in her twentys. Sa win develops a carring side to him once he meets dong Kyung and slowly gets emotions he never had and the feeling of love for her. As there relationship grows and she finds out that w/wo surgery she dies she decides to live her life, but due to the contract she has to cause doom to the world or sacrifice someone she loves. Getting more stressed out about leaving Sa ram and her family behind she meets up with god and makes a deal to forget doom and so the contract is voided. All is good as she going thru with treatment, but she and doom keep running into each other as strangers. A mutual feeling pulls them back in again as they find the missing memories. So now in order to save Dong Kyung and everyone Doom will disappear as the one she loves. Going thru a ruff time missing Sa ram and hoping he'll appear again or return as someone else and find her. Now 3 months later and the tumor is almost completely gone and she is happy and smiling and has a get together dinner with the family. That night she has a dream that Sa ram returned and then disappeared again. Then the next day it started to rain as she was getting off the bus and God was there to thank her and tell her she got a new heart. So excited that she was alive and got to experenice life and take of her people. We next see Sa ram in the garden with God as she explains(metafore) how he evolved from a butterfly that dies, but feeds the plant's and it grows into the next life. She tells him that he made her happy as she was watching him grow into a happy/loving person he was to go back as a humanand find her. A few nites later God enters her dream and wishes them both happiness and stated this is where it begin with all her creations. The next day she's on the bus and it starts to rain when the bus hits the brakes and as she was falling a hand grabbed her. Upon lookin up to her surprise..Sa ram was smiling at her and she wasn't dreaming. There is so much more in this story as she was an editor for her best friend who was caught up in a love triangle with Joo ik, Hyun gyu (brothers)
A must see never a boring minute.

One day, destruction came into my heart.

*Happy sigh* How do I write this without giving away too much? ╮(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)╭

*From EP 1-7*

What I loved?

Firstly: Ailee is CARRYING this drama.

My goodness. This is the first time that the first OST that plays is memorable. I would usually fall for the second or third (like in CLOY with Yoon Mi Rae), but whenever I hear "Breaking Down", I know the scene is about to be magical ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧

Secondly: It's nice being familiar with the lead actors and their unique methods of acting.

Park Bo Young and Seo In Guk have worked together before in her dramas 'Oh My Ghost(ess)' and 'Abyss'. Although he only made 1 episode cameos for small parts, it's nice to know that they can finally be each other's leading character (｡ﾉω＼｡). I first watched PBY in Strong Woman Do Bong Soon and before I knew it, I'd become a fan of her acting. I have only ever seen SIG in 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes'. I never finished it. Even though he has phenomenal acting skills, that drama wasn't for me ┐(´ー｀)┌

Now they are in DAYS and I'm getting to see a whole other side to them: PBY is really incorporating everything she's learnt along the way as an actress and it shows through Tak Dong Kyung. Sometimes she's all cute like Do Bong Soon or she's trying to make sense of the creature before her like Kim Sun Yi ('A Werewolf Boy). I really love her and I'm sure if I watch more of SIG's drama, I'll grow to love him too (*´ω｀*)

Thirdly: Tak Dong Kyung's narration really hits home at some point. The script, coupled with PBY's stellar acting has me crying almost halfway into the series. She continues to cement her place in my heart.

What I hated?

How they don't release all KDrama episodes in a shorter timespan, like they do with CDramas.
__________

*From EP 8-12*

What I loved?

One thing: The music continues to being thus drama to life.

The rest of the OSTs are making themselves known and working hard to creep their way into my heart, as well. I have now heard TXT, Baekhyun, Gummy and Davichi's voices, but "I want to be with you" by Gummy is my number 2 (after Ailee's "Breaking Down"). This drama has AMAZING music.

What I hated?

Firstly: This love triangle doesn't feel like a love triangle.

I'll admit that it got a little boring, especially those scenes with Na Ji-na, Cha Joo-ik and Lee Hyun-kyu. We all know how it should end; she just needs to get their faster. I'm not buying that NJN is torn between two men. I want more for her. I want better. Their storyline would fit better in a CDrama than a KDrama.

Secondly: Amnesia, really?

That's all I'm gonna write.

__________

From EP 13-15

What I loved?

Firstly: Again, the OST. At this point, youll just have to listen to it on your own.

What I hated?

Firstly: The "love-triangle". My goodness, did that take too long to end. By episode 10 I'd decided on which guy she should end up with. I already knew what needed to happen and what needed to be said. All of those moments between her and not-her-guy were soooooo long and soooooo very boring. Why hadnt all of that taken place by episode 13? Not-her-guy was just absolutely ridiculous, at this point. Did he really think he could win???? Really????

Secondly: The way he left. I wish they'd taken a different direction and made her leave instead of him. That would've been cool. IDC how it would make sense, I just know it would have been an amazing plot twist. Too many things were predictable in these episodes.

*EP 16*

I LOVED EVERYTHING AND HATED NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Thats how you write an ending, drama people. PLEASE. We need more endings like this.

This will definitely end up being one of my top kdramas this year!!!

Four episodes into the drama and I am super addicted. A much awaited extremely good fantasy romance drama. Not only the leads are eye candy but the entire main cast. The whole cast is just perfect ( chef's kiss ). And the chemistry between the main leads is off the charts, it's like they were born to play the roles.

Things may seem a little bit fast moving to some people but the director was so right to do this because they're not hanging us and not dragging a scene which is very important. Also, love those dialogues especially those profound conversations between Tak Dong and Myul Mang.

When it comes to acting we all know PBG is the queen of expressions. Love, love, love her acting. And we're yet again getting the taste of Seo Inguk's versatile acting. Damn, he is so perfect for the role and I couldn't think of another actor who would have done justice to Myul Mang's the character. The director was so right in casting both of them as the leads. And, did I mention the ost lineup is just crazy?
