Behold what may be the most polarizing 2021 k-drama! Doom at Your Service (DAYS) brings us a new fictional character in drama land: cold and charming Myul Mang, and his pairing of probably the most tragic character setup of all time.

I will admit DAYS has been a rocky watching, with some aspects of the plotline more gripping than the other. At times you're left wondering "Why? Why did so-and-so make that decision?" Not to complicate the matter, the contract is very vague in the beginning, and if you aren't paying attention, it's very easy to miss over and skip important details, leaving you utterly confused. Also the second lead love triangle didn't really do much for me, although it provided a nice contrast from the deep emotional scenes that our OTP face towards the end.

Gripes aside, I really had a soft spot for this drama- SIG and PBY are two of my favorites, and they definitely helped this drama move through. As unfortunate as the ratings for this drama were domestically, internationally it was immensely popular, and that may have lead to its controversial sidings- this is NOT a Goblin 2.0. The drama explores what it means to be human, the imminent threat of death, and so much more. It manages to balance somber and dark themes with light and comical interactions, which was something I appreciated.

The OSTs did wonders in portraying our OTP's feelings towards another- it amplified whatever was happening on the screen and made it memorable for the viewer. Personal favorites: (ALL) hee

Overall, you may love this drama, you may like it, you may find it meh, or you may find it the worst thing you've ever seen. DAYS is more enjoyable if you watch it without scrutinizing all the details. >>> my score is inflated .5 because of personal bias, but it would be a 9 if I knew none of the cast.
