Doom at Your Service (2021)

Absolutely amazing drama, loved every bits of it!

I loved this drama so much. I was never bored, not even once throughout the 16 episodes. Even though there are some other series like that, I found this one a bit unique in the sense that how it tells the relationship between deity and humans. It was a great drama showing the pain of having cancer and knowing you are going to die soon. Amazingly executed that. I loved the chemistry between the two leads, they were both great and charming since the start. In my opinion, the story was nice and chill. Right after I finished watching, I spent a few more hours watching my favourite scenes. I genuinely don't understand how people call this drama wasted time or potential- to me everything was nice and after a looong time I finally could watch a K-drama that I enjoyed.

If you like to cry a bit but have a happy ending this might be for you. Do not get fooled by the comments and decide for yourself if you should see it. Thats what I did and I am so glad I ignored the bad comments.

Have you ever received a nicely wrapped birthday gift but the box is empty? or have you ever eaten a dumpling but someone forgot to put the stuffing in? this drama is like that.
Watching it makes you feel empty but I still want to watch it because it's still alluring. overall there is not a lot of story to tell for the main characters. so their story keeps on repeating over and over again.

I can't say that the story is poorly written, on the contrary the story is well written but the plot is missing, the development in the story is missing. but the dialogues are fun, the characters are interesting, the actors are hot, cute and adorable.

I was pretty much crying from the first episode owing to Park Bo Young's stellar acting.

But the second lead's love tringle is much more interesting. I think it is also the reason that this drama was still floating.

Usually when it comes to supernatural dramas, the story mostly tends to focus on the supernatural character and his love story. plus they tend to revolve around some tragic mystery or spans several lifetimes. But this story is unlike them, this drama is about this random supernatural dude falling in love with a random girl in the street. no complicated plot twists.

And I also feel like in this drama it's talking about "a" story that "the" story of the supernatural being.

Watch it more than once to catch it all...

This was an amazing show with such dynamic characters that we immediately fall in love with them all due to their quirky natures, but everyone meshes so well together that you accept them as a big family, even the friends. Such a whimsical and endearing story of a terminal illness, that is comical rather than tear-jerking, as we are all along for the unorthodox ride through misery that, instead of making us sad, keeps us laughing and rooting for Doom to punish the bad, yet quizzically wondering why he picks on the good as well, out of spite and opportunity. In the beginning, he has a flippant, no care in the world attitude as he meanders around the world, leave a swath of chaos in his path. He has his ruthless moments when the worst of the worst cross his radar, punishing them as they "stepped on his toes", challenging his very existence with competition he sees as a threat to his occupation.

She steps into the picture, a product of life's mishaps with a lifetime of misery under her belt, taking it all in stride about her new timeline and diagnosis of a terminal illness. Not a customary reaction to any catastrophe in life, as she just continues to face her daily challenges without skipping a beat, much to the shock of those around her. She is so used to taking care of otgers she leaves herself out of the equasion of life she faces every day. She just lets it finally sink in when she is alone, but acts like it is just another mild punch from life, until the night sets in. When she was inebriated, she found herself stumbling outside, isolated on her desolate rooftop with only the ability to face her biggest obstacle threatening her very existence, she then proceeds to make a desperate plea of revenge to the heavens to release her pent up frustrations, never expecting a response in return. 2 minds converge on the same idea, one desperately wanting the end of the world, and the other, desperately yearning for relief from 1 more challenge in life that will cut her off far too young from all her dreams and aspirations she thought she could pursue later. Thus starts a whirlwind growth for 2 vastly different lost souls to find growth and adapt to each other's quirks, finding acceptance after anger, eventually seeing through each other into their hearts, finding a love so scarce with so little time as they race the clock of fate, finding their destiny amongst the trials of the world to eventually meet in the middle.

ALMOST.....

I think Tak Dong Kyung is like a bottle of excellent wine that gets better with age.
SHE CAN ACT. Uau, I'm impressed how she can deliver emotions with equal amount of dramatic and poised.
She reminded me of Glen Close.
Seo In-guk performance is also an ace, balancing the multitude of emotional changes the character go trough.
Now, classic money grabber style, they overstretched the story with side stories that were hard to keep up with.
Thumbs up to the casting director for placing at least 2 secondary actors that were good as the main ones: the hot as hell Lee Soo-hyuk, and the super pretty (even though she's skin and bones)Shin Do-hyun. If she's so fresh weighting 10 kg imagine how good she could be if she was just skinny and not deprived.
The last two episodes were "soapy" and at times confusing. Still wondering what their objective was with the love myriagon of the secondary characters.

Made an account to make this review.

I tried looking as I am a fan of supernatural, mistery like genres such as Goblin, Korean Odyssey, W,Tale of a Nine Tailed fox, My Gf is a Gumiho, My love from the star and so on. Then I came across this drama. I read the top comment and found that some saw it boring and waste and such but then I still would like to try. So I watched and in two days, finished it.

For me, it was good, I liked how they resolved and came up with that ending. It was pretty satisfying for me.
Tho, I just wanted for Lee Hyun Kyu to have a better ending tho. It’s quite hanging for me.

Anyways, this is merely my review and opinion based on my POV.

Hope you had a great time watching it too!

P.S. Breaking Down by Ailee is so addicting!

I love it a lot

I'm not a big fan of super dramatic dramas, and I tend to like to comedic dramas like Strong Woman Do Bong Soon or The Best Hit (I would recommend both of these dramas!). This drama however, really drew me in. The acting is top tier, and the story is very unique. Honestly if it weren't for the male lead, I would not be watching this drama right now. His character is portrayed as doom itself, and the drama executes that idea very well. The actor himself is really good at making this character evil. What really makes this unique however, is that Myul Mang (the main male character) is truly evil. He acts evil, he says heartless things, he convinces himself he doesn't care. It makes me interested to watch the rest of the drama for potential character development. Overall, this drama is so far super good!

The best first episodes I have ever seen in a Kdrama.... from there it's BS

I've come to a point where I've watched so many dramas and seen so much that I have no time to waste with stupid plots
Tell me about a slow paced drama... the drama is sooooo so that 1 hr feels like a marathon. I was literally exhausted just for trying to make some sense of what I was seeing. The story makes no sense. The characters are unlikable (specially the female lead's younger brother, her boss, Kim Sa Ram and his deity friend) , but the acting is quite solid. And what's up with that cigarrete... are you gonna smoke or not?
I know that it's just another stupid drama and I won't give it my energy. If I was still 13, this would have been the drama for me. But no time for BS anymore.

Although it might get incoherent at times,it's definitely worth a try.

Here are the reasons as to why you should definitely check this out~

1)The cast is stellar.Everyone outdid themselves.
2)The fascinating and heart-fluttering chemistry between the main leads,which is the most notable factor of this show.
3)The highly addicting background score and the soundtrack which in my opinion,are the best ones among the k-dramas which were released this year.
4)The engrossing characters.Each and every one of them is gripping in his/her own manner.
5)The adorable relationships between the characters.
6)The comedic antics.
7)It conveys heart-warming messages through a slightly poignant manner.

The negative factor of the poor execution of the storyline.The plot is pretty unique but at many points,the way the dialogues were written make it seem like the scriptwriter made an attempt to come up with poetic conversations and decided to write them down onto a paper after getting high as balls.I often felt like the plotline is turning into a mess and got a headache after trying to understand what is going on.I believe that this situation will get better in the future.

Thus,you'll find yourself laughing your a##es out,bawling your eyes out,screaming in frustration and eagerly waiting for the upcoming episodes.I won't tell that you should miss out on this drama and I genuinely hope that this show won't make me drop it later on.

What i think so far

This would be my first review on mydramalist. Would just go straight to what I think of the drama so far. This drama is a let down, I felt sad watching it cause I was looking forward to seo in guk come back drama. His talent is wasted on this. Even him can't save the drama. I think the writer is in a slump now or he/she is just not good. It's like there are no words or lines anymore to be used. The MCs lines are extremely poor and boring. This drama is like a wanna be. When I read the synopsis it was brilliant , it was fresh and exciting. But thats just it, the writer has a good idea but the script was very poor. so far the other characters are just like backgrounds for the drama. The only saving for this show is to improve the script. Write logical and exciting sceneries,write words that makes sense and has a purpose.
