Cute except for the crying!
This was a totally illogical fantasy romance full of plot holes and impossible situations. Nevertheless, all the leads were absolute eye candy, the aesthetics were so pleasing, OST the right kind of cute, melancholic, funny as the situation required. This is not a show i could binge watch, as after half the series almost every episode had a lot of sadness, crying and angst. But even in those episodes there were pockets of cuteness and comedy which made it worthwhile. This is a show to be slowly taken in small doses over time if you want to enjoy it. Binging is next to impossible unless you are into melancholy.The second lead couple kind of grew on me over time, as did every secondary character. Towards the end you feel part of a warm and loving set of family and friends. I expected more positive interesting things from the Deity character but hers was a sad sad story as well. All in all it was a different kind of drama with more sadness than I expected but the closure was satisfying enough to part with it on good terms.

Tampoco tengo mucho que decir, solo que es preciosa y que me ha encantado, desde el minuto uno me ha tenido muy enganchada y se me ha pasado volando porque la trama se hace muy ligera y nada pesada.
También me han gustado mucho los personajes principales y sobre todo la química que tenían entre ellos desde el primer momento. Una mención especial también para el hermano de la protagonista porque no me he podido reir más con él. Y otro para la divinidad que me hizo debatirme todo el tiempo si era buena o mala (bueno, esto ya lo discutimos por las historias).
Si me ha gustado tanto ¿Por qué la he puntuado con un 9.5 y no con un 10? Pues por dos cosas que no me han gustado de la serie. Por un lado, el capítulo 12, en ese capítulo sufrí y, aunque entiendo el fin del capítulo en la trama, lo sentí innecesario y podrían haberlo hecho de otro modo (según mis gustos). Y, por otro lado, la historia de los personajes secundarios. La verdad es que me ha parecido totalmente innecesario, al menos de la forma en la que lo han hecho y lo han planteado, me ha aburrido un poco esas escenas y creo que la hubiera tenido potencial para desarrollarla de otra manera. Pero bueno, son solo dos detalles dentro de una gran serie.
Por favor, si no la han visto y os gusta el romance y la fantasía, vayan a verla, no se van a arrepentir. Y muchas gracias a la seguidora que me recomendó Doom at Your Service!!

Disappointed
Doom at your ServiceThis was one of the series, I looked forward to but I was left utterly disappointed.
What I like:
The OST. Probably the first song that I kept listening on to repeat was Ailee's Breaking Down. The other tracks are just as good but I think this one stood out the most to me.
The second leading couple, Cha Joo Ik in particular. I never saw any of his work but I have heard a lot about him. I actually was surprised that I really enjoy the character he played here. He was a rather serious, straightforward guy who tells his feelings honestly. A lot of his lines caught my heart to flutter and chuckled. I also couldn’t stop staring at all the choices of clothes he had. Love them all!
The chemistry and playfulness between the leading couple. I think the behind the scene interview spoiled the chemistry as a couple on screen for me. I thought they were really cute, they look like they often were teasing and making fun of each other which I really like.
Seo In Guk, I haven’t seen any of his recent work but I think his acting has gotten better.
What I didn’t like:
I felt like a lot of the decisions that were made were just thrown in to make it more interesting. For example, the choice for her to forget everything that happened between the two of them and live her life as best as she can while she gets treatment….umm why did we throw that in there??? Just to get another episode??? I felt like it was a waste. There was more but I think this part probably disturb me the most.
Final thoughts:
I really want to like this series but there were many flaws such as how the story unfolds, often it felt like the plot and obstacles were quickly thrown together which I find it hard to watch. I felt like it was the typical drama to get you excited, fall in love with the couple, probably shed a few tears, and ask yourself why the heck am I crying and then try to remember why was this scene in here in the first place? I felt like it start out really nice until the writers couldn’t other obstacles to throw in their way that they randomly added their own plots. I just had a hard time following some of it. This is why sadly my rating isn’t as high as I like it to be.
Re-watch value: 2/10
I really want to see the two leading couple acting together again but I know I won’t rewatch this anytime soon.

Me gustó y a la vez no me gustó
HistoriaEmpezó muy bien, ya que la carga emocional era mucha con la enfermedad terminal de la prota, pero después fue olvidada cuando no había síntomas de enfermedad por el poder del prota. Fue diferente en muchos aspectos, (no estaba el típico cliche que imagine que podía haber) pero diferente no significa malo aunque tampoco bueno. Muchas veces me sentí cansada con una trama que no avanzaba y sentí que ese triángulo amoroso fue agregado para darme algo -hubo unos capítulos que me interesó más la pareja secundaria que la principal-
No ame la historia pero se que tampoco podría decir que la odie. Quizás si hubiera sido menos capítulos hubiera sido otra experiencia, siento que hubo muchas tramas más que nada para rellenar que por aportar algo. No fue un k-drama que quise hacerle un maratón, si o si tenía que verlo lentamente porque me cansaba.
Actuación/elenco
Sus personajes, tanto protagonistas como secundarios tienen su encantó. Sumo mucho a la historia, o más bien hizo que no fuera insoportable. Y siguiera mirando de forma lenta pero segura.
Musica
La música fue lo mejor en cuestión de que mejoraba lo que veía en un 100% (pues claro, yo vi el kdrama por el ost. Nota mental: Eso no se vuelve a hacer)
Valor de repetición
Queda a decision de uno mismo. Fue una historia que comenzó bien, pero luego se sintió en muchas ocasiones pesado. (Muchos temas filosóficos y un final fantasíaso pero ¿Que podía pedir? Más corta hubiera sido mejor, la historia no se vuelve odiosa por el elenco grandioso y un ost extraordinario.

Qual meu desejo na vida? Ser feliz.
Primeiramente queria dizer que amei que a fantasia em si coloca Deus como uma criança e uma menina, que suporta e fica doente por causa do mundo e que quer que todos os seus filhos sejam felizes até mesmo a Desgraça. Outra coisa que Deus sabe o fardo que cada um pode carregar e que nem sempre o que você vai pedir é o melhor pra você mas ele sabe o que é melhor pra você, como quando a dong kyung pediu pra não amar mais ninguém sabe? Acho que pra quem acredita a história do drama ganha um significado diferente.Falando que eu amei a história, ela tem um quê melancólico no começo, porque é uma linda história triste certo? Você sorria por cada pequeno momento mas seu coração estava em lágrimas. Amei como contaram a história deles, amei a química deles, gosto da atuação do in guk e da bo young, foram ótimos parceiros juntos. Fiquei tão feliz por eles no fim, queria que tivesse tido pelo menos o pedido de casamento ?
Gosto do irmão dele e como ele acordou pra vida mesmo que num momento triste e tomou um rumo, a amiga dela gosto também e fiquei triste que nesse drama o Tae oh não teve um romance feliz mas deu tudo de si em advogada <3, gosto da atuação dele mas ela combinava nesse drama muito mais com o soo hyuk, fofos demais, amo a atuação dele, a energia que ele exala como ator!
Enfim, a OST do drama é ótima e agora eu tenho um carinho maior por tulipas amarelas. Foi um ótimo drama.

The Garden of life, death , and Love
*I would recommend that you watch this drama yourself and not be too swayed by the pool of negative reviews* But here is my review on Doom at your Service (2021)Omg, I freaking love the drama I literally couldn't stop watching this show I had to force myself to slow down. First, I want to shoot out the artists that sang the ost in this drama. Every time I would hear them start singing The waterworks would immediately start to flow and I would start to sing along with the artist. Whoever created this show did a perfect job by getting the just right singer to sing in this drama. The songs felt as though they perfectly enhanced the scenes in the show; every time a song came on I knew without a doubt I would be crying by the end.
The chemistry of these actors is crazy It is rare that both the main and the secondary couple have chemistry but this drama makes it look so easy. It also helped that all the actors were really attractive (^v^) . They make you feel so invested in this character's storyline it makes you feel like you're living their life. When the characters felt sad I felt sad and when they were happy I was happy. And even though I never felt love like this before it felt as though I had experienced the joy and pain of Love. I feel myself relating to the female lead Tak Dong Kyung she is a lot like the except that she hides how she feels because she doesn't want to be a burden to her family and friends. But what I really loved about her is that even though she knew she was going to die soon she still thought about her family and tried to take care of them.
Maybe the genre of dramas is played out and maybe I didn't see enough of the drams to see that this isn't good. But I really enjoyed this show and I think that this show is in my top 10.

This is a good drama that could’ve been fantastic if not for the “doom” undertone that permeated even through the best moments. The actors did a good job bringing their characters to life but the story became tedious and slow at times. Although the romance is nicely developed, it was difficult to watch when, even at their best moments, the leading couple could not look at each other without leaving the constants sense of doom that even makes no sense when Tak Dong Kyung says that been with Sa Ram is the happiest that she’s ever been! Also, the ending… for two people that not only wanted to spend a lifetime together but also went through the ultimate sacrifice and, by a miracle, end up together, there’s no passion about the reencounter. Her attitude about how she shows no interest in marrying him is also moronic, to say the least. So, the problem with this drama is not in the actors, it’s a great plot that went flat on the love story, sacrifice and all! It must be said that what the drama missed is ardor, especially from the female lead, since the male lead was constant on his feelings about Tak Dong Kyung. The drama is not bad, some viewers seem to have fully enjoyed it and it has some good entertaining moments, but it fell flat at the end! Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
Mas profunda de lo que parece
Esta serie me atrapo, reconozco que no es para todos, reconozco tambien que al principio estuve media perdida, pero cuando entendí bien el trato malicioso de esta trama, empece a entender lo profunda que era la serie.Empece a verla por Seo In Guk, sin prestarle mucha atención, pero cuando entiendes, que la protagonista le quedan 3 meses de vida y al verse atrapada en su desdichada vida con un montón de eventos desafortunados, lanza una maldición , donde dice que quiere desaparecer el mundo. Este ser no humano que se presenta como la fatalidad, la oye y le hace un trato, que la ayuda a no tener dolor durante esos 3 meses, si pide ese deseo para destruir el mundo, y si no lo hace la persona que mas ama va morir por ella. La protagonista pasa toda la serie tratando de darle la vuelta a ese contrato. Y yo pase toda la serie viendo como lo iban a solucionar, de verdad, no esperaba este final.
Porque digo que esta serie no es para todos es por que los diálogos son muy poéticos, no es tan fácil de entender, tiene mucho de interpretación propia, si no tienes intención de profundizar esto te va parecer aburrido. A mí me parecieron diálogos muy inteligentes, por cierto, muy bien actuados.
La segunda pareja que es un triangulo, es una historia con unas relaciones espectaculares, los ame también.
Fue una gran sorpresa esta serie esperaba mucho menos, creo que por eso no entendí mucho al principio, de verdad la recomiendo si te gustan los diálogos profundos y con mensajes mas allá de lo evidente.

Too unbalanced...
Well, I will talk about the feelings that I get from watching this dramas. Usually I don't watch them because of the plot.The main story is interesting but too long. It has some things that are useless and the pace is strange. How can she fell in love in few days? How can he transform from a deity that has no feelings to someone who loves her so much? Bit like the chemistry of the couple.
The family and friends are nice. Liked how they were portrait.
But... The problem for me is the Second couple.
They have a lot of screen time and I don't get it. I found myself lots of times watching some dramas most because of the second couple. Here it's the opposite.
Both men are awful and pitiful. The first is a coward, a stupid and childish men that leaves a girl because of insecurities and treated her so bad that I can't understand why the hell is he in the drama. The second one is also so stupid. How can both guys love someone for ten years?!?! Cha says he loves her and never met her after? He lied to everyone and still lived with the coward guy. I found myself not wanting that Cha end up with her, but the alternative was even worse.
I hated that relationship. And that ruin the drama for me.
I don't have a female perspective, but I think she (who I find interesting and strong in some ways) should end up with someone else.
OST - did the job but I don't loved it
CAST - most of them did a good job. I don't follow the actors and actresses, so I don't know if they are like that or only performing.
REWATCH - no! Not with the second couple in the way.
Summing up, cute relationship of the main couple. She is cheerful with a lousy life but, after finding him she begins to be and stay happy. Good chemistry and interesting dialogs.
The second couple was awful to me. Always love triangles (don't get it) but with 2 men very boring. The story here was bad, lots of incongruent moments. Didn't like it at all...
And that doomed the drama for me.

Easy to watch with good cast and interesting story
I watched all episodes except one (I think it was episode 13 because the story was a little predictable at this point).There were some really interesting plot developments (i.e. one of them must die for the other to live) which I didn't expect. I wrongly assumed that this would be a CEO story with the CEO being a deity. The twist made it very watchable and the casting was perfect.
I also enjoyed the secondary casting and storyline. All beautiful/handsome characters, especially Shin Do Hyun and Lee Soo Hyuk.
The music was good but the star song was, of course, Breaking Down by Ailee - a veteran OST artist with exceptional talent.
The only reason I began watching this show was because I missed Park Bo Young. I was worried that the this was going to be as ad as the previous shows after Strong Girl Do Bong Soon, but I was very Pleasantly surprised, She remains the epitome of cute (as well as being such a great actress.
Really liked the show, a bit slow and predictable in parts (eps 11, 12, 13), but a worthwhile watch nonetheless.

I love Seo Inguk, I love Park Boyoung. And I'm really looking forward to this drama before it airs. I thought this drama would be a romantic comedy, because who doesn't know, Park Boyoung is an expert in this. But it turns out, this drama is actually a melodramatic. Crying in every scene and episode is a natural thing. At first I was only able to watch the first 5 episodes, for the sake of the actors I love, then I stopped for 2 weeks.Finally I resumed watching this drama. Although some times I have to speed up. The story of this drama is unique, but the plot is repetitive, I often get bored. I love ML and FL acting, which I never doubted them, their chemistry is very strong.
In addition, the supporting casts are also very good. Several times I looked forward to the love story of the supporting casts between Na Ji Na, Cha Joo Ik, and Lee Hyun Gyu. Weird but interesting. I was more in favor of Na Ji Na ending up with Cha Joo Ik, and thank God it happened.
The soundtracks are great, my gosh I keep listening to the soundtracks of this drama on Spotify. The singers are also top class, no doubt about the quality.
Until finally I managed to finish this drama. Not my favorite genre but enough to spend time.

Super good kdrama!
(I'm going to do my best not to write spoilers)For me this was a super good kdrama so where should I start?
In the beginning the drama really takes you along with its feelings. probably the cinematography did the story so well that you really feel the feelings.
Second.
People behave strangely when they hear a clock ticking and become deeply afraid.
You can see that in all the "reboots" that the drama requires. It is quite understandable that this becomes boring for some people. but to me it made perfect sense. I don't want to spoil it, but if you've watched it, you can see these stages clearly.
The third layer. Myul Mang and Dong Kyung's journeys to living a fulfilled life. They are both depressed and wish the world could just end so they would never have to suffer again.
Both felt lonely and out of place.
One had to learn to love even when faced with the inevitable end, and the other had to be selfish even when faced with the inevitable end.
the fourth layer for me was the religious aspects, of having two gods, one the creator, one the destroyer, and both were created by and for man to explain the randomness of suffering. This is part of many religions. But Buddhism especially has had to endure the ethos of the same suffering in different ways until you accept the fate and learn the lesson in this life and grow. Here too the frequent repetition of their old patterns is explained. Especially the part in the middle where they can both see what they would have been if they hadn't grown together through their pain and their joy.
this drama was really a great drama
but I didn't like it that much because this drama made me cry a lot.
By the way, I these OSTs of this drama were really good. Normally I'm not a fan of that
