Sheer perfection
I binged this show over a couple of days, and I feel like it's best to do that. I think maybe if I had watched it live as it aired, it wouldn't have had the same emotional impact.The characters lived and breathed for me, even Doom, who didn't live or breathe.
This is an epic love story. I believed they were destined to love each other.
If you love supernatural dramas, where you experience incredibly intense emotional responses to the story, this is the drama for you. For me, it ranks up with The Master's Sun and My Love from the Star, in terms of best dramas I've seen, that I could watch over and over again. It's a little better than Goblin and Secret Garden (both of which I enjoyed a lot).
In my opinion, the writers told a beautiful story and they completely nailed the ending. The actors had incredible chemistry across the board, and I loved all of them. That doesn't happen often. Usually, I'm invested in one storyline, and I really don't care that much about the subplots but I cared about EVERYONE in this drama, even minor characters who came and went. I cared. I have loved Seo In Guk since he played the second lead in The Master's Sun, and now I feel it's come full circle, because I believe that Doom is his best performance to date. He was phenomenal in this role, and Park Bo Young was wonderful as well. (Loved her in Oh My Ghostess).
Basically, I can't give higher praise than this. There's nothing I would change about this drama. I've read other reviews who call this boring or wasted potential. I completely disagree. If you're like me, DAYS will join the ranks of dramas that you watch again and again. It's sheer perfection, exactly what I hoped.
Why are you still reading this review? Go watch it.

k-dramas nowadays have gotten realistic and i was thoroughly enjoying this fantasy drama where the plot is sometimes illogical but that's what makes it entertaining ! sucks to those who thinks this show is bad but its a show with sexy hot people as the leads come on , that's enough reason to watch till the end.
plot / story flow wise , the things that happened were rather anti-climatic to me but its wtv since it kept the story going. second lead's first love plot, couldn't care less about it. literally move on na jina ! also don't understand why her aunt had to marry a white guy but have no interaction whatsoever with him. the deity girly i had no problems with her (throughout the show when it was ongoing i saw a lot of people complain and being annoyed with her) i understood her purpose and the reason behind why she did whatever she did , never was once annoyed nor see her as the antagonist of the show. she just did what she had to do.
okay about the main lead's story, they tried to make it angsty but i'm sorry it wasnt really. one spoiler i'm going to give is that this show has a happy ending which i am very content with. how they got together and how they get to know more of each other wasn't given depth , all they had was the holding hands at midnight and living together so they can fall in love with e/o which is, illogical lol but somehow they made it happen T__T i guess seeing e/o more frequent makes it easier to fall in love lol. also love how he just rejects her wish every time she makes one .
think thats all of my thoughts on this drama , overall entertaining and worth the watch. loved the cast except for their aunt's husband. i also think this show had potential to make it big by how promising the first 2 eps are but whoever was behind it decided to make it mediocre which is fine i guess.

Muito bom!
Quase um confort drama para mim. Tem bastante comédia, bastante romance e tem a tristeza que os melhores dramas também.Eu sinceramente achei que iria chorar bem mais por causa da história e do que as outras pessoas falavam, mas até que não chorei tanto.
(E eu adoro isso, já que meu drama favorito é moon lovers)
Atuação impecável, todos exerceram seus papéis muito bem me fazendo sentir a as emoções junto a eles.
Seo In Guk, como sempre perfeito. OLHOS, ele atua com os olhos de um jeito incrível que eu raramente vejo. Desempenhou DOOM amavelmente, me fez cair pelo prota malzão.
Park Bo Young, ah uma das minhas atrizes favoritas. Perfeita. Ela sorria, chorava, gritava e era como se eu tivesse sentindo tudo também.
(Principalmente o choro, nossa, incrível e realista.)
Dora (apelido carinho dado pelos comentaristas do Viki) ou Deus na série, vou ser sincera fiquei com raiva dela no começo e isso me fez desgostar dela em certos episódios. Porém, depois que você "lê" a personagem, você parece entender mais. E gostei muito das falas dela, algumas foram bem impactantes.
Eu gostaria de uma segunda temporada só para acharem uma parceira pro irmãozinho. Fiquei com pena por ele ficar sozinho kkkkk
Eu esperava ver pelo menos o casamento no final, ou apenas uma olhada no futuro deles como as vezes tem em alguns dramas, sabe?
Mas gostei bastante do drama até, achei até bem leve.
Com certeza tá no meu top 10 de favoritos e até no top 10 de confort dramas também.
E baseados nos comentários cronometrados do Viki, me fez pensar que algumas pessoas realmente não possam atenção no que o drama transmite ou diz.
No começo de todos episódios há um aviso onde fala que o drama não tem nenhuma ligação com religiões ou mundo externo, e ainda sim havia vários comentários realmente preocupantes nos comentários, decepcionante até.
E não vou mentir, eu teria amado se ele tivesse voltado como Doom kkkkkk
O que falar das OST? Impecáveis. Com certeza estarão nas minhas playlists por um bom tempo.
É isso, espero que possam aproveitar o drama tanto quanto eu aproveitei.
RJ, Brasil.

DAYUM WHAT A SERVE
July 5, 2021Ok so, I never really read the reviews before I started watching it and I might be biased since I have been waiting for this drama to finish because Park Bo Young is starring. But I love this series from the beginning till end. Sure ep 15 could have been a bit better as to why I put a 9.5 there. Since I kinda had troubles understanding how Saram got back. But you know what, it is what it is.
As for the ost, whole bops. From txt to Gummy, the whole album is a whole masterpiece.
I really love how the love triangle was on the second lead couple instead of the main couple. I really love everything about the relationship dynamics of Saram and Dong Kyung. Maybe Saram was like your typical tsundre along with the main male lead for the second lead couple. But these two men are such gentlemen and they are so fine as well. Like damn, where to find them. Also, the third couple, Dong Kyung’s two colleagues were such a good couple either. Like they represent more of the cheerful and youthful couples. While our main and second lead couples are the one who suffered and overcame such obstacles in order for their relationships to flourish.
Anyway I think Dong Kyung’s little brother had the best character development in the whole series. I really love how he changed and look at him now. He may not be your typical Asian boy who graduated from college. But at least he is thriving as a Manager at the Coffee shop. And maybe people might look down on him. But hey a job is a job. And I am proud of him for accomplishing such career.
I don’t know what to do now. I really will miss this drama. I hope y’all will watch it!!!!

Want more, defining life, living
A lot of people gave negative reviews, I have something to say for that.Even though after some time the story becomes predictable its still a very good story.
The story goes in about love and life and what they mean to a person.
Getting reminded of that even if it's cliche isn't always a bad thing.
Also fun fact my eyes are swollen cause this show made me cry sooo much..
Another thing is I wish I could ask for more special episodes where they are living happily.. Getting married going on dates etc etc.

Its a must watch!
I have been watching Korean dramas and Chinese dramas like a hundred of them and this is the 96th Korean drama I finished watching. I think this drama is top 10 of my favourite dramas (Top 1 actually)The drama has ups and downs and it's super touching and super exciting t the same time. After watching the 13th and 14th episodes, you might think to drop it since the ending must be sad. (it is not actually) I don't want the review to contain spoilers so you can watch them.
I hope you find the review helpful!
Let me know whether you enjoyed the drama the same as me!

Doom At your Service
Doom At your service aired on TvN in 2021. It was one of the most anticipated dramas of 2021. With amazing, talented leads and second leads audience was patiently waiting for the drama to air. Seo In Guk played the role of Doom who falls in love with a human girl Tak Ding Kyung played by Park Bo Young.GENRE: ROMANCE, FANTASY,DRAMA
OPINION: Seo In Guk( Myul Mang aka Kim Saram) is my personal favourite. He has the most anticipating and intimidating personality which attracts me. I had previously seen "THE SMILE HAS LEST YOUR EYES" which is in my top 5 kdrama lists. The gloomy, shady yet handsomely, beautiful looking character of the doom is what suits him the best. Thats why I chose this drama to watch. The best actor in the Kdrama Industrty. Look what it turned out to be. It turned out to be one of the ebst shows in the kdrama world. His acting and his looks is what will make this worth watching. He desrved so much hype after the drama was released. And I think he deserved the hype and fame. Park Bo young as Tak Dong Kyung had a sweet, calm nature which also suited her the best. Chaa Joo Ik, Na Ji Na, Lee Hyun Kyu had the best love triangle. They also did their part pretty well. I personally enjoy love triangles thats why I loved theirs. Na Ji Na chose the man whom she truly deserves rather than choosing a immature guy.
Coming to the plot. Personally, I didnt like the plot that much. The concept of Doom was interesting but the plot or the story how it turned out to be was very ordinary. I expected more than that. The first few episodes were very interesting to watch. The concept of Doom, introduction of the characteres, the deity was all very fascinating. But as the story progressed I felt as if it was stuck somewhere and it didn't know how to put forward the coming episodes. It was all same. Doom dying for his love , to save the only love of his life, the light of his life. Also the FL trying to change destiny of them in order to save the ML. It was all very ordinary. At thattime I enjoyed the second lead love triangle. Also, I didnt get the relationship they had. How the script writers wanted to express that kind of love? It could have been described in a simple manner.
But the chemsitry of the leads was extraordinary which made me continue to watch the drama. One of the best chemisrty in 2021. The cinematography, direction, portrayal of the scenes were all very beautiful to watch. The OST was also very impressive. The ending was the satisfactory, realistic, beautiful ending to me. The happy ending is all we wished for. Thank you to the leads for portraying such a beautiful On screen chemistry.???

I really love Park Bo Young, she is my favorite korean actress and I almost watched all her works, so the first thing that made me watch DAYS is her. As for Seo In Guk what a surprise! I know he is a singer turned actor but I never saw any his project and I never heard his songs but he nailed the character of Myul Mang. He is a very good actor, I loved his expressive eyes and he can be sexy too. I know Kang Te Ho too I appreciated him in The Tale of Nokdu.
For the first 4 episodes if I have to give points i give 100, starting to the 5th to the end i have to give 99. There was a slighting fall. The freshness of the first episodes went away but I still enjoyed everything.
I read some comments in the comments sections about the contract being not clear but personally I didn't any problem to understand what's going on. The only thing that was not clear to me is the Deity; sometimes she is supportive to our couple sometimes not and than again supportive and than not.. Her lines were a little bit confusing, the character should have been written in a better way.
Is being a while since I was invested and obsessed about a drama.
I cried and smiled a lot and the chemistry with the two main lead was so intense. I never felt bored, i enjoyed watching how they stat to love each, erasing each other, the way they found and loosing each other. I really felt their love i had butterflys too!
To be honest i was not so invested in the love triangle, at first it was so random to the main story but after some episodes I became curious about Jina's feelings.
In my playlist these days I have all the OST, the songs are really beautiful.
Overall i have to give a 10 everything was perfect and the story make sense for me, I enjoyed everything and I don't know how i will spend the Mondays and Tuesday from now on, I am not ready to let them go.

"Love Me To The Point You Want To Destroy The World For Me"
Doom is served... Here is my review on the beautiful drama about fate and how the fate of the world relies in the hands on the people living in it.Story:
The flow of the story progressed well in the first eight episodes, however, it began to progress slowly later on. I really enjoyed how it was an enemies/strangers to lovers in the beginning, but when the two leads got together pretty fast, it felt as if there was nothing to look forward to. The love triangle between Ji-na, Hyun-kyu, and Joo-ik was the only thing I was still invested it ToT. On the other hand, I really like the overall message and plot of the drama. The conflicting feeling of sacrificing everything/everyone for the person you love or letting go the one you love to save others really makes you question about life and how you can apply a strong message like this to the world we live in today.
Acting/Cast:
I loved the cast in this drama. They really got Park Bo-young, the queen the fantasy dramas and Seo In-guk. The chemistry these two portrayed in the show was absolutely amazing and you can really see how well it was shown throughout the show. This was surprisingly the first drama I've seen In-guk in, but I know he is a popular actor and his acting didn't disappoint. I also liked seeing new faces such as Lee Soo-hyuk and Shin Do-hyun, I will know be obsessing over these two in their future projects ><
Music:
Hellooo??? The OSTs for this drama were absolutely golden. You had TXT, Baekhyun, Ailee, Gummy, Davichi, and more!! You can't go wrong with any of these artists and the OSTs obviously didn't disappoint.
Overall:
The cinematography to this drama was also very beautiful and is something to look forward to throughout the show. I would definitely recommend this drama to someone who enjoys fantasy dramas.

what a waste of what could've been a great drama
like a lot of other people I started watching this for the leads Seo Inguk and Park Boyoung and these two didn't disappoint. they did deliver a great performance for the poor script of the show. I'd give this a 5/10 or less if it wasn't for them.the second leads story was neither interesting nor did it add anything to the story but just felt like a filler instead. they tried to make it a "omg look at the secondary leads 3 good looking people in a love triangle" but failed badly. the other side characters were also pretty meaning less.
I watched Lee Soohyuk in Tomorrow and his stoic acting fit his character there but here his acting made his character even less interesting here, to me he's just one more of those actors that are there cuz they're good looking and draw attention but can't really act sorry.
Seo Inguk's character had so much potential he was the stone cold supernatural male lead that brought destruction with everything he did, but that lasted only one episode. most of the show you couldn't even see doom causing doom the only thing he did was teleport and time travel.
I watched this solely to see doom falling in love with a terminally ill cancer patient but I never really got to see him falling in love. one day he'd threaten her and they'd fight and the next day they say they're in love like it was mood swings every 30 mins and we never got to see their characters mold into each other, get that character development (esp cold hearted doom).
the character development of doom was something I really wanted to see but never did it was like he was a completely new person suddenly and no gradual change and it was disappointing tbh.
the god (deity) felt more like a villain or her character was just poorly made. none of her actions made any sense like what was she even trying to do??
also the plot felt very forced to bring out a love story like the FL suddenly deciding that she had to fall in love with the ML to survive... where did she get that from? and then suddenly deciding to live together but were technically living in two separate houses.
the dialogues were THE WORST. they were so corny and so poorly written you could even tell some were forced into the script just for some tears (they didn't fit in naturally). only kept watching this for Seo Inguk and Park Boyoung's good acting which really carried the entire show. though I found ep 9 & 10 pretty interesting cuz these two again carried.
I didn't really like the music, maybe it's just my personal taste but I feel like it had OSTs that I could swear I heard in another drama and were nothing special either.
OVERALL: if you're interested in a fantasy drama with a good plot and well written and interesting characters this is absolutely not for you. but if you wish to see it just for the leads' chemistry with each other, go ahead and watch it! though I can guarantee you that you can skip every other scene except theirs and you'll be missing nothing at all cuz rest of it is just a filler.

This drama was beyond my imagination of what I thought it would be......
So honestly this drama had ups and downs throughout, by ups and downs, I don't mean my rating on the show I mean what happens in the show. Okay, so, this show was like a hate-to romance type, like hatred at the beginning, then slowly begin to love one another. So, my rating on this Television Series is, that I have watched so many romance dramas, but this one was beyond my standards for A romance drama, it had everything. It went from hardships to failure to love to hatred to having to fit in and having an uncomfortable situation to handle. These are my type of dramas, so I rate Doom at your Service 10/10 with 12/16 episodes watched.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
