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!

Yah! A Woman Blows Her Top
Park Bo Young plays one of the great funny heroines, Tak Dong Kyung (DK), who, liberated by a prognosis of brain cancer doom, blows her top at her horrible boss. "Yah!" , best described a a pragmatic expression of extreme annoyance on steroids, effectively freezes the recipient in his/her tracks. Love it. And she keeps on breaking out of her good-girl place.Really really great script. Phooey to the critics. Huge themes, huge reversals, very tight very funny dialogue. Four main sets, the office of the editing co, the cafe at ground floor, a huge man's living room in gray and stone which MM attaches to one wall of DK's yellow and pink (with red accents) rooftop apartment and the hospital.
Seo In Guk as Myung Mal/Kim Sa Ram/Doom (MM) and the adorable Dawon as DK's younger brother, are the foils to Bo Young''s performance. MM is an embodiment of a word like doom used to describe a person's allotted (i.e. semi-ordained) lifespan and fate combined. He is not a helpful Grim Reaper guiding souls, but more like a fail-safe for death's prerogatives (similarly to the Greco-Roman Nemesis).
He is DK's "doom" and she is his fate. A 6 ft. tall black-clad wish-granting boyfriend with a bad temper and a webtoon editor fall in love, perfect. She ends up facing a choice between the entire world being destroyed or her boyfriend ceasing to exist, but NB. this choice is governed by a contract which MM/Doom made with her while in a self-destructive mood.
DK also gets to meet God, or at least the god of this world, who describes herself as the gardener of the Garden and MM as a butterfly. The metaphor is shifty, but the hospital is the scene of much of the action, the lovers meet there, the family unites aroung DK's illness, and god in her current incarnation is a child with a heart condition.
Dk does go into the noble self-sacrificing mode (its all my fault blah blah blah) for an episode but it doesnt last too long. Luckily the 2couple-plus-a-spare are the actors Lee Soo Hyuk, Kang Tae Oh and Shin Do Hyun, who all should get respect and better roles than they have had so far. They are brilliant here.
A Studio Dragon show with the composer Lim Ha Young. The writer is Im Me Ah Ri (beauty Inside).
On my top ten best ever kdramas list as of 12/24: Goblin, Hwayugi, Because This Is My First Life, Just between Lovers; the K2, Run On, Doom at Your Service; Tomorrow, Alchemy of Souls (earliest to latest) and Mr. Plankton .

Can Love Change the Heart of Doom?
This was my first paranormal kdrama years ago & I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s heartwarming & thought provoking in it’s message, raising the question, “What would you do if you knew you only had 100 days left to live?”The ML is seemingly cruel & uncaring about anyone or anything. While his identity sets him apart from others, it’s his disenchantment with humanity that has left him jaded. Hearing their thoughts over hundreds of years has made him privy to their most selfish & narcissistic tendencies. He wishes he could just do away with them all & end the world. And it appears fate is on his side when a human woman seems to feel the same…
The FL is strong & independent. Losing her parents at a young age left a gaping hole in her life. When she receives her diagnosis of a terminal brain tumor, she’s determined to brave the storm alone & not be a burden on her loved ones. Precious, misguided girl.
In a fit of anger after receiving the tragic news, the FL wishes for the destruction of the world… & the ML, destruction himself, comes to answer, eager to grant this request.
Thus their story begins. And oh, what a tale it is! The push & pull they have with each other is intense; their chemistry palpable. It’s attraction & confusion, longing glances & jealous urges. Its fierce distaste turned to I’d-destroy-the-world-for-you love. *sigh, swoon, & all the feels!* 🫠
Their character growth is well done. The ways they challenge, motivate, heal, & change one another are so good. The storyline & pacing flowed well for me. The support cast all did well in their roles. And this has one of the BEST secondary couples of all the many dramas I’ve watched. They’re so cute you could watch just for them (& yeah, his voice definitely plays a huge part in that! iykyk)

Doomed to the core
I started watching this series for all the hype that was created on the internet. Lesson learnt :don't follow the hype ... This show was so boring .. I mean it's the closest thing to a perfect lullaby. I made me sleep at least three time per episode,GOSH!I don't mind sad story ... But this one is damn boring ... The plot had no pace whatsoever.
Cast was good but whats the point when the story writing is so lousy ..total WASTE
You wanna torture yourself go and watch it ... As for me I don't recommend ...

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!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
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 plotsTell 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.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Love it!!
Relatable! The whole cast is awesome!! The drama is heart fluttering, sad, funny and inspirational. Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young are great actors! This drama will make the viewers realize that God is always watching over us, guiding us and and that He will never let us to be in pain for no reason. Like flowers he nurtures everyone. This drama was not all romance and fantasy. The plot has religious context which I really liked. The love story of Doom and Tak DK was heart breaking turned into the most sincere and enviable relationship. This is a “must watch”.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
The support leads have a love triangle and I love how they relate to the main lead in there own way. Doom at your service shows how they all work together even at office.

Watch the 5 first and 5 last ep. Skip the middle ?
I really enjoyed the plot and was immediately captivated from the first episode. However, I must admit that in the middle of the series, it lost its momentum, becoming somewhat dull and slow-paced. And from episode 11 onwards, it regained its intrigue and held my interest until the very last episode.I couldn't help but feel disappointed with how the main characters' relationship evolved towards the end. It seemed as though they remained within the friend-zone, even during marriage plans.

Chato, de empurrar com a barriga
Fui com tanta expectativa falavam q era um dos melhores de 2021 e simplesmente um dos dramas mais chatos q já vi... Um desperdício de enredo e elenco, a história fica morna e parece q vai ferver depois da perda de memória, mas volta a ficar chata de novo. Só terminei pelo casal que a química era inegável, mas é daqueles q me pergunto pq comecei e principalmente pq terminei. Eu tinha expectativas até o final de ficar bom, mas não aconteceu. Talvez se o final fosse dramático teria melhorado hm pouco.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
