Compelling, literate drama with superb acting

This hauntingly beautiful drama seems to have divided the community. I can't imagine why. It is a well written, highly literate tale of love and redemption aided by superb acting and unusually strong chemistry between the main and secondary leads. The musical score - even more than the songs - lingers in my memory. Doom At Your Service compels careful watching and even more careful listening. It is appropriate that Tak Dong-Kyeong is a literary editor: the writers have created a novel where nearly every line has something important to say.

Park Bo Young is perfection as the heroine who faces a deadly disease and an even more difficult decision. Her character gives comfort, hope, and strength. Like the best K-Dramas, this one will help you on your own road, whatever decisions lie before you. She is a pleasure to watch, completely natural and believable, and her interaction with Doom - well acted by Seo In-Guk- is one the strongest and most powerful I have encountered.

The memorable music in many dramas - Goblin, for example - is the songs that help enhance and underline the story. In Doom At Your Service, there are long sections - particularly in the last episode - of orchestral music that tug at the heart as well. The cinematography adds to the romantic and mysterious atmosphere the writers have created. (I enjoyed the small reference to 'Hotel del Luna' which shares a few points of communality with Doom At Your Service.)

In short, Doom At Your Service goes on my list of very favorite dramas. As soon as I watch another drama with the lovely Park Bo Young, I will watch Doom again and I hope you will too!
