Doom at Your Service (2021)

AIRDROP A PUNCH TO ME, IF YOU DIDNT LIKE THE DRAMA IN THE END

I do not know what YOU are looking for in a kdrama but Doom At Your Service has got it. I mean maybe they fell in love quite quickly but....it was still worth it. This drama gave my tear glands a mind of its own...like those babies were malfunctioning. Everything was beautiful all the characters were charming: Seo In Guk's weirdly super attractive features to Park Bo Young's adorable expressions and smile to Lee Soo Hyuk's especially bewitching poker face and beautiful deep voice... gursh. Plus the chemistry was everything!!
Trust me, I have watched a couple of bad kdrama's this year and Doom At Your Service certainly didnt make my director and cast murder list.
So, darling
give it a watch!
You can come beat me if you didnt like it.
Happy watching!!!!

one of the beste k-dramas I ever watched

So, first of all, I know, a lot of people didn´t like this drama. This was one of the dramas that while was airing I couldn't wait to watch it, cause I like to wait till it's all out so I can binge it. The actors, I already knew Park Bo Young (female lead) from other dramas and I liked her so that was a plus, and Seo In Guk (male lead) was a first for me. Both of them were amazing, the way they made us feel what they felt was incredible. The support cast was okay and their story was meh. So, the story itself of the leads was what drew me to this drama.
Attention: SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!!!!The fl (female lead) is a web novel editor whose life seems ordinary until she is diagnosed with brain cancer and only gets a short time to leave. In that, she also finds outs that her boyfriend was married and is humilliated by his wife. Also, her mother is in another country with the fl stepfather. With that, she is frustated with the world and ends up drinking...a lot to the point that she makes a wish. She wants the world to end. It so happens that the wishes related to doom and caos are heard by Doom itself, a sort of demon/god. Doom hears her wish and since he wants the same wish appears before her. He tells her that he can make her pain go away and in return to ask her wish. To keep her pain away they have to live together and so it begins their love story. The fl always tries to stay away from him and Doom keeps pestering her to the point that she comes up with a new idea, to make Doom fall in love with her, which actually happens, but so does she. The thing is Doom is tired of his life and wants it to end by ending the world but when he falls for the FL he decides do sacrifice himself to cure her disease. He does sacrifice but when he does that, god which is portraited by a little girl feels like Doom finally became good and brings him back to life but this time as a human. So the leads end up together and both health. I have to say there are two flaws. First, I disliked that Doom didn't keep his powers, they were amazing. Second, the support cast's story was kinda meh, it wasn's that interesting so I ended up skipping it a bit. Besides that, I can't point any flaw, it's a kind of hate to love drama and with fantasy which makes it amazing. I really recommend this drama. This onde and Vincenzo are my favourites of all time.

I DONT CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS! JUST WATCH IT

I AM NOT SURE WHY THERE ARE SO MANY MIXED REVIEWS!!?? I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GREAT SHOW. IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE OHHH SOOOO MANY THAT ARE OUT THERE. MAYBE THAT IS WHAT ATTRACTED ME TO IT. THE ACTING WAS GOOD, NICE EYE CANDY! AND TYPICAL OF KDRAMA THERE WAS SOME TEAR JERKING INVOLVED AND I REALLY DIDN'T FIGURE OUT HOW IT WOULD END RIGHT AWAY LIKE I AM TEND TO DO THEN I LOOSE INTEREST. I WATCHED ALL THE EPISODES WITHOUT FEELING THE NEED TO JUMP TO THE END SO THAT RIGHT THERE IS A GOOD SIGN AS I HAVE A TERRIBLE HABIT OF WATCHING A FEW EPISODES AND THEN WATCHING THE LAST ONE TO SEE IF IT WOULD BE WORTH MY TIME. JUST WATCH IT

Amazing story line, got amazing cast

I gave 8.5 because of the lead actors were so good acting and looks , wonderful pair.
The second couple also looks wonderful, but they have very little screen time, they even could have matched the main lead.
There was a jump in the story , where didn't show like how they fallen in love , but suddenly they starting feeling in deep love and ready to sacrifice, Most of the episodes are like that only, some time it feels like repeations, instead they should have focused on how they fallen in love . The story line and the cast was so amazing, it could have been one of the best korean melodrama .

what i enjoyed most in the drama is park boo young is really cute and so beautiful, and male lead also good looking and compatible to her., even the second lead couples are very good looking, and acting was great too.

The cast, the story line / plot, soundtrack, the cinematography, they were pretty good!!! 5 episodes into the drama and I am addicted. The main character, Tak Dong-Kyung is someone who I relate to so much. She is someone who doesn't want to let her feelings out and just keeps it to herself and pretends to be fine but in reality is not. While Myul Mung, the other main lead had an emptiness in his heart (In the beginning of the drama) but it slowly warms up because of Tak Dong-Kyung, and he finally gets the purpose of life. The chemistry between them is amazing! There are many realistic character developments that happen in the drama which feels it feels very natural.

Disappointed...I Really Am

I am now developing PTSD from dramas that have all the markings of an "epic 10/10 unforgettable" drama but which end up falling way off the mark.

So here's the thing, this drama got so much hype when it was airing, has such a fabulous cast lineup, beautiful cinematography, and then has an intriguing storyline that's original (not watched any other Asian drama with Doom and a Deity as actual characters) ....and for the first few episodes, I was stoked.

And then somewhere in the middle ...the bubble burst! And this drama went from a potential 10 to a yikes!

I have trouble explaining how...or why. But the magic between the 2 main characters just faded, there were dozens of missed opportunities to have built up the romance burn, the heartbreak of the story etc, it wasn't really the acting, maybe the directing? I can't put my finger on it. It just lost its lustre.

But do not despair because somewhere along the way, Lee Soo Hyuk who is the Second Male Lead swooped in and stole the whole damn show. And for that plotline, that character, that voice, that intensity, this show was all worth it. Someone give that man his own drama, says the newest Lee Soo Hyuk fangirl.

I'm sorry
I think I'm going to be the black sheep again for the limitless time in a famous high rated drama

The story was poor
The plot was absent
The romance was lame
But I've to admit it was comedy and smooth to watch
May be that's why I rated it 5.5 not less

And I liked seo in guk acting for the first time after hating him literally in king Louis shopping

The main story literally have no events till EP 11
Same events during the drama
So if this drama was 11 or 12 episodes I think it will became much better

In short summary
A woman wished to destroy the world after being Diagnosed with a terminal illness and the angel of death heard her and make a bargain with her so he can die then they fall in love together and he sacrifices himself to save her

Not a remarkable story which can make you watch over and over again
BTW : it had happy ending
She was cured and He turned to be human and they lived together happily ever after

But inspite of that Something huge was missing although the story was solid


I was interested more in the second couple but they didn't appear much and their story was so lame and became annoying
I've to tell it was new to make the love triangle in the second couple
But the second FL lead's position towards both men was really annoying and fluid till the end inspite of choosing Soo hyuk

For me just one watch drama

Doom at Your Service: A Melancholic Exploration of Life and Love

Doom at Your Service is a South Korean fantasy romance drama that tackles profound themes of life, death, and love. While the show boasts a unique concept and strong performances, its slow-burn pacing and unconventional narrative might not appeal to everyone.

A Face-to-Face with Destruction Himself: Tak Dong-kyung, diagnosed with a terminal illness, makes a desperate wish for the world's destruction. However, her wish manifests in the form of Myul Mang, a supernatural entity who embodies doom and destruction. As Dong-kyung spends her remaining days with Myul Mang, an unexpected romance blossoms, forcing them to confront their own vulnerabilities and the meaning of existence.

A Slow-Burn Exploration of Emotions: Unlike fast-paced K-dramas with high-stakes plotlines, Doom at Your Service prioritizes character development and emotional exploration. The show takes its time delving into the complexities of grief, acceptance, and the fleeting nature of life. This slow-burn approach allows viewers to truly connect with the characters' emotional journeys, but it might feel uneventful for viewers seeking a more action-packed narrative.

Beautifully Portrayed Performances: Park Bo-young delivers a poignant performance as Dong-kyung, capturing her character's strength and vulnerability in the face of her own mortality. Seo In-guk portrays Myul Mang with a captivating blend of stoicism and emotional awakening. The supporting cast adds depth and intrigue to the narrative, further enriching the emotional tapestry of the show.

A Thought-Provoking yet Uneven Experience: Doom at Your Service is a show that will stay with you long after the credits roll. It prompts viewers to contemplate the preciousness of life, the power of human connection, and the acceptance of fate. However, its slow-burn pacing and unconventional narrative may not resonate with everyone, particularly those seeking a more light-hearted or fast-paced drama.

A Must-Watch for Fans of Melancholic Romances: If you're looking for a thought-provoking and emotionally rich K-drama that explores profound themes of life and love, Doom at Your Service is worth checking out. However, be prepared for a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes character development and emotional exploration over high-stakes plotlines.

Love this!!!

I was first introduced to this through kdrama meme videos on YouTube. I also watched clips of funny moments before actually watching the drama. I kind of paused watching kdramas fully for more than a year so I was happy to have this be my first kdrama back into the fandom. I started at night and watched it in one sitting!

I'm someone who actually doesn't mind spoilers before I watch something, because it's faster than wasting 16 hours on something I won't like in the end. But I didn't know how this story would end, or that it would be more serious than the clips I watched of it showed me.

Still I loved this drama. Sappy/sad scenes made me cry, romantic scenes made me swoon and cute scenes between the characters made me aw. I love everything about the male lead!!! I do wish we got more badass scenes of him because I found myself repeating them. Seo In Guk's facial expressions and how he delivers his lines has always been amazing since the first drama I watched him in so I knew he wouldn't disappoint, and Park Bo Young was cute as always!

I loved how things progressed between them, theirs was a love story that could not have been rushed. I even loved the secondary love triangle. The second male lead is good looking, and has a deep voice and sarcastic humor so I was bound to love him. The other guy in the triangle looked a lot like GOT7's Jackson that I found myself staring at him whenever he smiled. I loved the interactions between the entire cast.

After checking out the reviews I was surprised at all the low ratings. Maybe people expected more from this story than what it is, but it has some fantasy, a romance, and a terminal illness so I got exactly what I expected and more. I don't even know how to explain it well other than I just love it.

I'd encourage anyone interested to give it a try and see for themselves.

Doom is a new favorite anti hero (along the lines of Deadpool)

8.5/10 is my rating. This is a 2021 South Korean Fantasy Romance with 16, 60 Minute Episodes.

Tak Dong-kyung (Park Bo-young) was orphaned at an early age and has come to expect relatively little of life. She has one incredibly bad day where she learns that the man she has been dating is not only married but has a baby on the way, she has a negative encounter with her CEO at work who is a self absorbed megalomaniac, and if that isn't enough she finds out she is dying form inoperable brain tumors. It's enough to drive anyone to drink and she does just that and, in the heat of the moment, she shouts at the heavens on a shooting star that she wishes doom on the world. Myul Mang (Seo In-guk), lives among humans for the sole purpose of spreading doom wherever he goes. When Dong-kyung shouts her message of doom, Doom responds. It is, after all, his birthday and he is allowed to fulfill one human wish. He is not a fan of being doom, but fulfilling Dong-Kyung's wish would be a quick way to end it all. Fate has had a role in making the two meet. As they grow closer each of their fates seem far too cruel. Can love find a way for a doomed girl and doom himself?

Spoiler Alert*** I really loved this drama. Seo In-guk's portrayal of Doom was spot on. I really cannot imagine anyone else playing that part to the level that he did. One of my favorite tropes is the handsome, arrogant, god so this premise was right up my alley. Park Bo-young who played Tak Dong Kyung was such a sassy and smart counter to Doom that their interactions were always so much fun to watch. it took me awhile to realize she was from "Strong Girl Bong Soon" as she looks so much different with darker longer hair. I loved all of the side characters as well. Dawon's portrayal of her younger brother, Tak Sun Kyung was perfect. He loved his sister so much and when he find out what all was going on with her he went from being the spoiled younger brother to someone that wanted to take care of the person who had shown him so much love and caring his whole life. He showed a lot of character development. His interactions with his sister's romantic interests reminded me so much of my own brother. I know that is also part of the traditional male family member role but it was still adorable. Cha joo-ik (Lee soo-hyuk) was a character that seemed so cold and impersonal but really was a very caring and charismatic person. I loved his portrayal of Gwi in the "Scholar Who Walks the Night" and find that he brings a very deep, intricate persona to the characters he plays. There were sad moments with Dong Kyung's terminal illness, but the majority of the show was very entertaining and funny. It was intriguing that God/Sonyeoshin (Ji So-jung) was a young Korean female with a terminal illness and there was a lot of very deep meaning in both her actions and words. I found it important to analyze the symbolic nature of her garden and the plants and explore alternative meanings to the things she said. I did not find the Uncle Kevin (Daniel C. Kennedy) character to be necessary, in fact the episodes with that character in them tended to break the 4th wall for me as it just did not blend in well so it really took me out of the moment. I think the fact that he only spoke English and those around spoke Korean - it made it like there was a language barrier and made it hard to understand the depth of the relationships and intensity of conversations when, at times it seemed like he understood Korean, and at other times it was obvious he did not. Those scenes could have easily been left out without changing the flow of the story. What dropped this from a perfect 10 for me was the ending. It feels somewhat hypocritical to comment that there was too much after they were reunited but, in this case, there really was. It is such a fine balance I find between ending something abruptly and dragging it out so much that the after story seems pointless. It breaks the magic a bit to see them just going about their every day lives. I could have done with episode 15 plus maybe 15 minutes to tie up all the loose ends. A very picky point. I highly recommend this series and would watch it again. But it is not my very top because of the minor flaws that don't mean much on their own but do stack up to lessen the enjoyment just a bit.

Muito boa

A história é muito boa, se desenvolve muito bem, eu curto esse tipo de relação onde o casal briga e se odeia até se gostar.
A chata da menina que fica no hospital, me deu muito ódio a todo tempo que ela aparecia me dava raiva. Porem no final eu pude entende-la melhor, mas não significa que eu goste dela, muito dramática.

O drama não é leve, tem muitos desdobramentos, tópicos sensíveis e várias pontas soltas ao longo da história que só se resolvem no final, o que é bom, pois pelo menos resolve.

A lição que fica é bem bacana, gostei muito.
