A drama worth watching this 2021, not just worth but a must watch drama this year 2021.
Doom at your service, i must say the first few episodes were really something. I was very hooked the day i started watching this drama.I had mixed emotions in this drama. I was happy, sad, angry, flustered, devasted, my heart fluttered, shocked, and of course in love. And a lot more.
This drama taught me a lot of things not just in the romantic side but, also on how i should approach on life. It taught me a to be brave, be in love, and sometimes wreckless. And etc.
My rate for this drama is 10000000/10

The perfect couple in the wrong drama.
literally seo in guk and park bo young their chemistry together is so perfect and that the only reason why i didn't dropped the drama.everything was good and amazing in the first 6 episodes then i don't know what happened with the writer she really destroyed the story of such amazing cast. i was very annoyed with the story there wasn't any progress and there was so many things the writer didn't answer.
the second couples story was good actually it was more entertaining than the main couple. i loved dawon from sf9 acting he was a cutiepie. i hope i can see this cast in dramas that they deserve.

Almost hits that sweet spot, but ending suffers from bad writing & editing
Warning: this drama was SO close to perfect.10* {especially for the acting!}, but it drops 2 points & gets a big angry "Boooo" for the way the writers ruined the ending.On the bright side :
3 incredibly handsome men in One Drama!
Random fact: Female lead's sobbing was very unique
The rather sad premise/plot topic had me wondering how in the world it could end well, but, there are happy endings for most of the characters. ( though it felt a bit forced to have literally everyone's story tied up in a bow) And I really didn't need or care about what happens after the happy ending. That sort of stuff kinda deflates the happy ending .
There IS alot to love about this drama, but the last few episodes put a damper on by serving up inane content that seemed like just filler. .Plus, the female lead became all wiffely waffelly about being together with the male lead-after she just said :"don't leave me for one instance" -Huh !!?? she suddenly becomes wooden & stand offish. Made no sense.
Needs re editing!!

A Masterpiece
I'm seeing a lot of the top reviews saying DAYS is washed potential and that it's boring, and it absolutely shocks me to read these?! I personally found this story so beautifully written and portrayed, keeping me absolutely hooked on the end of each episode. I can somewhat see that the boredom could have come from the slow burn or the amount of time it took for everything to unfold once and for all but that was the beauty of this drama? I love how slowly their relationship evolved and how no matter what they stuck together against all odds.But what I wanted to appreciate the most was how smoothly they brought Myul Mang back into Dong Kyung's life in the last episode. It just made such perfect sense on how he was able to come back and most of all it tied in with the story line so perfectly I'm in awe. I've seen a lot of dramas where the lead comes back to life and it just never makes sense and look choppy but here they did such a good job at wrapping up this story in one beautiful cohesive way.
So to summarize how I feel how this drama, I absolutely loved it. I love how smoothly everything was tied together and transitioned throughout the drama. The character development and how side characters like Ji Na got their fair share of attention too. I applaud the directors and cast for doing so well in their duties regarding this drama, a solid 11/10 from me!

If you want to watch a kdrama ,don't listen to the others reviews and just try it !!
I've watched this kdrama when it was airing and I really enjoyed it so much .I'm not good at talking about my feelings toward dramas or how I should describe the drama to someone . But , I really want you to know that no one made me watch it with force . I just wanted to watch it and that's it .
So , what I want to say it ; this drama have the best plot ever (for me) and the actors did a very great job in it . The main couple , Park Bo-young and Seo In-guk , match each other so much that made me want to watch this drama agaiin every time I remember it . Not forget about the couple Shin Do-hyun and Lee Su-hyeok . They catched my attention since the first ep .
Maybe there is others who think that this drama is just like other fantastic kdrama but this just have another type that made me watch it .
I hope you give it a try and watch it . It may be amusing and good like I said or you may don't like it . You should see that by yourself ;)

An Enjoyable Show Nonetheless
For some reason I really wanted to watch this show, like it was on my watchlist for the longest time. The show started off very interesting, and I really liked the plot. Yes, it is a little bit like Goblin, but this is still a good show that is unique. I really really thought this show had a stellar OST, not only were the singers all big names, but the songs were also very good. I will start out with my critiques, the reason why I gave this an 8.5 was because this show was very enjoyable, but it was not "next level." It really tried to be and succeeded in some ways, but it was a little predictable and was not some of the other next level kdramas that I have seen. What I did like was that it was a little thought provoking. It really made the audience wonder: what would I do if I had 100 days to live? In general, this show let you put yourself in the shoes of Dong-Kyung, and it made us wonder what we would do given her situation. With the character of Doom, he was not the most likeable male protagonist, and certain traits were overdone, but it did not compromise the show. I was expecting to see him show off his godly powers more, but he was more human than expected. I think that while Park Bo-Young did do an amazing job, the love triangle between the secondary characters did it for me. That was surprisingly interesting, and that kept me gripped and happy to watch it. The main love story was good, but the love triangle was really fun for some reason. Overall this show was good, it was more than simple, but not quite complex and mind blowing. I would recommend it to watch, and it is not hard to watch since episode lengths hardly exceed an hour for the most part. The love triangle and the role and character of the little girl deity was really cool to watch, so I would say give this show a try.Was this review helpful to you?

Frustrating !!
If i am being honest, the story was quite lame. I watched the drama due to its popularity. And I wonder what made the drama so popular?? I am guessing it’s because of good looking cast. Not gonna lie, the cast is top notch..The lead couple has good chemistry. The 2nd lead couple was hottt and their love triangle was fun . But the story lacks and there are many plot holes.
Our FL is a typical damsel in distress with every possible tragedy, orphaned , terminally ill, cheater boyfriend and evil boss. Then comes her knight in shining armour, DOOM. ML doesn’t feel like doom or destruction. He is actually quite nice contrary to his role as doom (like seriously)!!!!!!!
What frustrated me most was THE DEAL between doom and the FL. I tried to understand but the contract was still unclear till the end !! She will die a painless death if she uses her wish to bring end to the world or else someone she loves will die! So to prevent that, FL tries to fall in love with the doom. Then doom will disappear? But she actually falls for doom and now she don’t wanna die and also don’t want doom to die? Soo much confusion. Also how can doom die, he is death himself ? Aghh
Another annoying bit was the amnesia part, they both remembered everything in the same episode, so what was the point of amnesia !!! It didn’t change the story or anything for that matter. The deity in the show is soo weird. The show overall gives a really gloomy vibe. I can’t imagine to rewatch this drama, i already finished it with great difficulty.

Intense start , but fails to entertain in any aspect later
I would say that this was a wasted potential . The actors were all so good , but the story was all over the place . Even their deal seemed senseless to me !Things I liked :
1. They took time is showing their emotional connect , though much time hadn't passed in real , it was only 3months they knew each other, but on screen chemistry was too good.
2. The actors were very good in exhibiting their emotions.
3. Even after he died , they gave some time to show her feelings and how she waited for him , trying to restart her life.
4. Messages were nice and apt.
5. No rushed endings
Things i disliked :
1. To begin with the deal between them was ridiculous AF.
2. God was doing just unnecessary things , pulling him away from her life them sowing the seeds of their love. :|
3. The story was all over uninteresting after they fall in love.
4, Overuse of words like 'die' , 'disappear' , 'not exist'.
5. Why was she preparing to die when it was obvious that he is the one who will die.
6. Emotions were good but romance should have been better to go with those emotions !
7. the main story was sad , the second leads could have been interesting to keep the temp . but They were plain sad too !!
All in all , as much a i like the actors and their chemistry , the story was boring for me after mid-way !

It could have been better
The drama had too much going on and didn't make sense at times. The actors were the selling point of this show to me, Park Bo Young and Seo In Guk's chemistry really made me forget about the inconsistencies at times. The supporting characters are fun to watch too, especially Na Ji Na, Cha Joo Ik and Lee Hyun Kyu. Their romance doesn't follow the usual narrative and that's something I appreciate. Overall though in order to really enjoy it I had to switch off my brain which isn't what I want to be doing.Check out my full review:

What could have gone wrong? One word: CONFUSION!
This ended a month ago and that is how long it took me to get through the last 4 episodes. That is a sign of what I thought of this show. Let me preface that I didn’t hate this drama. It actually had a lot of potential to be one of the better dramas of 2021. It had a great cast that seemed to have really natural chemistry. A bomb-ass soundtrack that stayed on repeat on my playlist. And a premise that seemed like an automatic hit. What could have gone wrong? One word: CONFUSION!Read the rest of the review on my blog: https://bit.ly/3rp1Rk8

A certain cry session.
I am addicted to this drama from start to finish. There are NO skips and that's a rare for me. Every episode engrosses you further into the story and there isn't one scene that is dull. The plot was very interesting. The leads had amazing chemistry. They looked so natural as a couple and overflowed with chemistry right from the very beginning even when they were on rough terms with each other. It's really beautiful and heart warming to see how their relationship develops and how they find comfort in each other amongst all the pain they are put through.Was this review helpful to you?

Worth your time
I am honestly not sure why so many people dislike this drama. I didn't watch it for literally so long because I heard it wasn't great, and now I feel gipped. This drama is fantastic. This drama is gorgeous. This drama is funny and deep and makes you think, with great acting and a pretty good OST to boot.Back to the "this drama is gorgeous". I mean this very objectively-- not in a way like I just liked the drama so I want to overlook flaws. They use a lot of gorgeous, creative shots and scene cuts that gave the drama it's own timeless vibe without being dragged on too long a la Goblin.
The drama is just plain funny. It played it's cards well in presenting "doom" as something that could also be really funny, in a "망했다" sort of way. They really explored a lot there, too, with all the different areas doom "looked after" in the world.
It was fun to wrap my head around what sort of existence "doom" would be, almost like a yin-yang approach to deity. There was plenty of time to think about what I would want to do if I knew I only had a hundred days left.
Great acting- Seo In Guk has a great range of emotions, and I liked Park Bo Young here more than some of her other roles. She was still energetic and loving and cute, but a much more mature character. In fact, the writing for all the characters felt really well done. The ML and FL weren’t flat (that's my biggest conplaint for most romcoms) and the side lovelines felt like real people processing information and reacting, for all that the storyline was drama-esque (still had the tropes and fluttery situations). The way all the characters bantered felt very real like thet actually liked each other (as friends or in a loveline) and Seo In Guk made me get all emotional towards the end. Also, the girl-god fascinated me. She, like all the characters in the drama, felt like a real person who said things, but always had more going on on the inside. Every character felt like that, so it was fun to read in between the lines, watch the body language and context, etc.
It was not a perfext drama. Not all of the cast were convincing criers. The brother sometimes felt a bit flat, and I never totally understood why the second male lead and second female lead liked each other (Her first love story gets a pass because she was discovering she'd been in love with a memory of him). But overall... there are a lot of only so-so romcoms that get rave reviews... I'm not saying they shouldn't, but this one definitely shouldn't be looked over. Kudos to this rare romcom that garnered my admiration!
