Maybe about six episodes of actual plot
I am a sucker for the supernatural. So of course a show called "Doom at Your Service" would grab my attention.And yes, the first three episodes deliver. The mysterious creator, her subordinate destroyer (ML) and the human girl (FL) somehow getting involved with them. It is all quite intriguing and gets you hooked.
Unfortunately the following episodes focus mostly on worldly affairs: FL coping with her fate, her romance with ML, and a love triangle between support characters. It all comes with copious amounts of emotional padding, a procession of static scenes with a lot of talking, whining, crying, accompanied by sad background music of course.
I've tried to sit/skip through it, driven by my curiosity about the supernatural element. But I just couldn't make it and dropped the show after ten episodes.
I wish there was a six episodes cut without all the needless filler. I believe it would make for a much better drama.

Amazing. Fantastic. Iconic. WATCH IT!
This show will break your heart, but it's ok because it'll help you piece it together afterwards. And there's no sweetest happiness that the one that comes after heartache. The laughs and the tears, this show has them both.The drama was phenomenal. From the writing, to the acting, cast and OST. It was great all around. It lightly touched upon on the philosophy of life and death, how lightness and darkness are both sides of the same coin and you can't have one without the other. The garden metaphor and the deity living as a forever terminally ill patient was an interesting take on the more religious aspect of the story too.
And don't even get me started on the main couple. Their chemistry just jumped out of the screen. It was impossible not to root for them. I sincerely hope they'll work together again someday.
I don't know yet what drama I'll be watching next, but I feel bad for it given the large shoes it'll have to fill.

Entretanto o que na minha opinião comprometeu o dorama (para mim, é claro!) é o nível de infantilidade dos trejeitos e falas da personagem principal! Sério que uma mulher com um tumor cerebral teria uma postura de 10 anos? Isso me irritou bastante o que resultou em tédio, já que os diálogos dos protagonistas por várias vezes se torna insípido.
As demais atuações estão legais e destaco vários pontos que de fato nos fazem refletir sobre o que muitas vezes desejamos e como não podemos controlar as coisas, já que as próprias divindades nem sempre também podem fazê-lo. A questão do tempo é bem tratada com a possibilidade da morte iminente.
Gostei da fotografia também, sensível. De uma forma geral, é bom, mas poderia ter sido melhor.

So good I had to watch it twice in a row
This was one of the only dramas that had such a strong impression on me that I had a "drama hangover" - I couldn't watch anything after I finished this one for a while and thus, decided to watch it twice. I don't even usually write reviews but was compelled to write this one because I was so affected by this show.First of all, let's get this out of the way. The last episode was just okay. But it did not ruin my enjoyment of the whole series. I could see the argument that it would be a better ending if the drama stopped at episode 15 @ 50 minutes. But I also could see why the writers/producers wanted to wrap it up the way they did.
The story's main themes are yearning and sacrifice. Yearning for things you can't have: more time, better health, or a happy ending. And accepting the sacrifices you have to make to protect something dear to you. This story is so good because, due to the circumstances, your heart breaks for the characters who are faced with these bleak outcomes. The characters have to make impossible decisions where they can't have all of the things they want the most or avoid the things they fear the most at the same time. Each choice has consequences.
After getting to know the characters' hopes and fears, you get invested and start earnestly rooting for them to find a way to an impossible happy ending. What I think the drama does so well is exploring the fear and sadness of leaving everyone you love behind and never seeing them again. And how hard it is to accept... The characters struggle with the loss in such a realistic and beautiful way.
I'll say I got emotional multiple times when watching this drama. Especially later on in the season. Also, the OST for this drama was so good. Ailee's song has been stuck in my head. And Gummy 's voice really pulls at your heartstrings.

A great watch
It is unabashedly a romance with unparalleled chemistry between the leads. That being said, I appreciate the their story is a fantasy so anything can happen and that there is no love triangle between the main leads which seems to be common among other romances. I love the focus on family which is why I started watching kdrama. If there is inconsistency in the plot, i would think that anyone who has 100 days to live has every right to be inconsistent. :) i have been rewatching and appreciate all the missed nuances from the 1st time. I didn't find it boring at all as I do enjoy quiet dramas.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Bong Bong estando no elenco já valeu a pena!
Mas apesar disso, estirei no chão um grande pano vermelho pra este aqui.Nem me pergunte do que eu não gostei nele, porque você vai ficar sem resposta. O elenco é lacrador! Todos os atores e personagens são maravilhosos. E a trilha sonora bebê... respeite!
Amei meus novos maridos e os muitos momentos em que pude apreciá-los. Também deixei tudo anotadinho de como pedir à Deus o meu amado: clama pela desgraça que tudo se resolve. Essa desgraça todo mundo queria ter na vida e não tem.
Enfim, o drama é perfeito. Super recomendo e claro que entrou pra minha lista.

Saram
It was a hard story-to-follow but when you are going along you will be able to have a better understanding of the plot. There may be like a little way missing points that were hard to follow but as an overall entertainment, it was what I got. Plus the OST was an additional plus for in many ways, it was ON POINT that made the drama more dramatic.There were missing links from the storyline that was not explained clearly. Unless there will be a season 2 to explain those?
Its not a storyline perfect, but an entertaining drama to watch for.

very beautiful plot
There are indeed some spoilers in this review but i'll try warn it everytime it's a spoiler, so people who hasn't watched the drama yet can read my review without being spoiled!Not to lie, it took me a lot of time before starting it. I saw a lot of comments saying it becomes boring quite quickly, and what I hate the most is when a drama has a very good potential and wastes it. Why did I still watch it? Mostly because it's Park Bo Young and Seo In Guk, also because it's "the unloved one and the loving one" trope (my favorite). I wanted to give it a try and wow, I did well! Because I totally enjoyed it!
Why do some dramas become a hit while others are unloved is still a big mistery for me. I mean, this drama was (in my opinion) way better than Tale of The Nine-Tailed, with a real plot, and some very very interesting morals. The characters were realistic, the story was beautiful, and everything made sense. No big plot hole. Yet why do people keep saying it's boring or bland or not original???
It was original.
First, because when there are stories with the "good and the bad" trope, it's usually "the god and the devil". They usually are ennemies. But here, it's about a deity and the Doom itself : they're not ennemies, they work together, and humanity needs both. This was original.
It was not the classical "she was born to make you discover feelings" or "she was born to make you die" or "she was born to be your bride" or "she has the same face as your first love" or "she is the reincarnation of some old relationship". Those are all the classical tropes we see in a fantasy world with a immortal guy. Yes, they were kind of destined, but they were destined because of their choices, because of who they were, and because they would always make the same choices. She hasn't been not the "choosen one" since birth, as in most of fantasy dramas. She became the choosen one because of what she chooses, because of who she is, and that's original. The only fantasy drama with this trope was Hotel Del Luna and that's why I loved Hotel del Luna that much.
Also, it was not the usual "he can't feel anything and you will change it". He has always been able to feel things, he has always been able to be sad and happy, but he chose not to, because he didn't want to make it more difficult for him. He didn't allow himself to feel things because if so, he would always be sad, seeing what happens "because" of him. And the girl did change him, because she showed him how human he was inside of him.
(SPOILER)This is what it is about. It's not about some surnatural being becoming human because of a girl, it's about a surnatural being discovering he has always wanted to be human but didn't allow himself to do so.(SPOILER END)
Yes, there were some "WTF" moments and useless things.
(SPOILER) By which i mean the two episodes with the amnesy trope. That was a shame, cause it was long and kind of useless. A short amnesy would have been okay, cause it would show they would always make the same choices, and that's sensible. But two episodes? With almost nothing but parallels? Yes, it was kind of boring, and I used the "skip" button quite a lot during those (which is why I rated the plot with 8.5, cause it would deserve at least a 9 without the amnesia-thing). (SPOILER END)
I also saw people who thought it was stupid to see Myul Mang running to Dong Kyung and, let's be honest, it was kind of weird indeed. But then again, I wonder if it wasn't some kind of symbolic.
(SPOILER) After all, he was slowly starting to become a human through the drama (which was shown by the flower-symbolic), and that may be why he started to act a lot more as a human. (SPOILER END)
So yeah, it became less and less fantasy. The drama was a lot more about their love story and Dong Kyung point of view on life that all the "deity and doom" thing : and that's why I loved it so much. No need to have some big enormous plot to be a good story. I enjoyed so much seeing Dong Kyung going from "the one who never cries and never tells what she wants" to "the one who allows herself crying and asking to be saved".
(SPOILER) I don't remember exactly what was said but at some point of the drama, it was all about "you must accept doom in your life, so that luck comes too". Luck and Doom comes with the same face. If you forget everything about the love story, and only focus on the symbolic of things, the whole story is about a girl accepting her fate, as hard and sad it is, and because she was brave enough to accept it all, she ends up happy. And I think this is what the drama is all about, and that's why I found it so beautiful. (SPOILER END)
I love dramas with deep meanings, with double-reading, and this one was perfect for me.
I think people should try to watch the drama and make their own opinion about it. If I only read the comments about the drama, I wouldn't have watched it and I would have missed something.

Doomed!
Park Bo Young, I love this actress, who played a strong leading role in this Korean Drama. The role she played as Tak Dong Kyung and what this character had to go through. Seo In Guk, oh gosh, who is the actor? I mean I am looking forward to watching more dramas he is playing or going to play in. I viewed his itinerary and noticed he plays demon characters. His eyes though, omg, I can see why but those eyes are beautiful in shape and form. I would love to see him as the main lead in fantasy, and martial arts, as the historical minister of the military. BTW his acting was very convincing. Lee Soo Hyuk: I am seeing him in a lot of recent KDramas. I love his acting. I hope the next character he plays he will catch the love of his life. The visuals, the fantasy, I loved. I did love the storyline, it was different. I think we are all living in Doom right now.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
É incrível. Tenho apenas isso a dizer.
Um dos melhores doramas que já vi na minha vida e um dos meus favoritos do Seo Inguk! Vale totalmente a pena assistir e reassistir!Queria apagar minha memória para ter minhas primeiras experiencias assistindo isso de novo...
Tudo nesta série é incrível: a atuação, a química entre os personagens, o casal principal e o casal secundário que por muito pouco, não se torna o melhor!
Conheci o Soohyuk por este dorama e meu deus, ainda bem que o assisti! Como eu nunca tinha ouvido falar ou visto um homem tão lindo e que atua tão bem como ele?
