MASTERPIECE
I don't even know where to begin with this drama. The plot is the best one I've ever encountered, it has so much to say and in a perfect storyline from the first to the last scene. As a huge fan of the enemies to lovers trope I assure you in this show it's delivered in the best way possible. The music is absolutely breathtaking, one of the most beautiful and touching OSTs. Every scene has the song it needs to have. There's laughing, there's crying at 3 am in front of your screen, there's suspense, there's an unhealthy amount of butterflies for this extraordinary chemistry and the most perfect kisses I've seen on TV. Most importantly you get to realize so much deep stuff about life and death and humanity. I love this to the point where I don't want to watch another drama for some time.Was this review helpful to you?
“If the world is going to end anyway, let it end with you by my side.”
One of my favorites! 🖤 I was an emotional wreck while watching this, especially since my family has a history with cancer, which made it even more special. I loved all the characters that appeared on screen, and I totally crushed (still am!) on Seo In Guk, he has such a unique face. The whole story is really beautiful, and the ending was exactly how I wanted it to be. After it was over, I couldn't stop thinking about this drama for weeks. It truly opened up the K-drama world for me.I’ll definitely rewatch it again very soon! :)

worth it!
I really enjoyed this. Around the middle though I was getting a bit frustrated and had to take a break but once I finally started watching again the rest of the show made up for that annoying bit.I really loved the characters especially Seon-kyeong, and I loved the side plot with Ji-na. Ji-na and Dong-kyeong's friendship was also really great. I love when drama's have a strong friendship aspect along with the rest of the plot.
The plot really intrigued me from the start but later on it became more obvious that it was an impossible situation. That is what made me have to take a break from the show.

A must watch series
This series is amazing from the staff to the cast everyone did an amazing job.The plot is just outstanding the cast really did their best work to bring out the uniqueness of the drama.
I would definitely recommend watching this series to everyone and I have already watched it twice it's a must re-watch.
The love story between the cast was simply the best. This series is a show that raised my standards on relationships.
The way the main leads are so quirky and yet so cold at the same time.
As for the actress Park Bo young she did an outstanding job on her role it must of been real hard to take on her character but she did the role so beautifully and graceful. Actor Seo in guk... He just screamed coolness and boyfriend material really did an amazing job on his role which is another character that's hard to play.
This series deserves a season 2 and a high rating

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!

A little confusing but great
The whole Doom and God storyline was a little confusing. What were they doing? What could they do? Did he have powers? He was driving everywhere but apparently could appear wherever he wanted. It was confusing but not to the point that it made the series less great in my opinion.Park Bo Young is one of my favorite actresses. I thought the chemistry was off the charts with In Guk. The second couple (love triangle) was tense at times but sweet. I think she decided on the right guy.
My favorite character was her brother. My gosh he was super funny and this was needed as I cried my eyes out several times.
it was a big emotional buildup to the last episode and I was ready for a fantastic ending with a beautiful wedding. There was a happy ending but no wedding. I just don’t get why she avoided marrying him. This series needed a wedding and a send off to a honeymoon to make it a really satisfying ending. Not sure why this couldn’t happen since it seems like they were grasping at material. Everyone making kimchi could have been cut for a wedding.
These few things deducted half a point or this would have been a 10!

Heartbreaking and intense
Love it. Would be in my top 10 Kdramas. The characters, the feeling, the music and everything were perfect. Would definitely rewatch and Seo In Guk is stunning in this role, not much words from him but his eyers and smile...omg...the kiss...was one of it kind...Not much to complain from me, this is ultimate love story. If you watched and loved Goblin and A Korean Odyssey this one would be your favorite too.
Just few minor:
1. Sad ending would be more suitable but as happy ending advocate should not complain lol
2. Would prefer it to be shorter around 10 episodes just with main couple only. 1-6 episodes are masterpieces that I already rewatched few times.
3. The second couple was too ordinary and in my opinion not needed here...I skipped all their parts and rewatched all main couples parts hundreds of times...

An up and down
Hmm...well i don't really know how to rate this. I loved the first few episodes, then the plot was kind of all over the place, then it got better again and then the ending was kind of a letdown again. Honestly, the last episode was too much fanservice for me. There was no suspense anymore and only fluff - kinda pointless.Obviously, the cast is amazing! They had great chemistry and did a really good job with the script they were given. But the dialogues seemed repetitive and the plot was confusing and at times didn't move forward.
I really loved the second leads and was completely in love with Na Ji Na's apartment. I might have taken some inspiration for my own writing desk.
Despite having its weaknesses, I was always looking forward to the release of the next episode because I really liked the atmosphere of the drama. This was partly because of the cast and their chemistry but also because of the amazing OST - I mean if you got Ailee AND Baekhyun on your OST, it's gonna be a masterpiece.
So, to sum it up, it wasn't great but I enjoyed it.

Empieza bien y luego se desmorona
Ya estoy acostumbrada a que pase en los kdramas, pero en este me molestó un poco más de lo habitual, porque realmente tenía potencial para romperla.La historia fue algo confusa con la diosa, el jardín y la existencia de fatalidad, tanto que uno pierde a veces el hilo del asunto. La pareja secundaria estuvo bien, solo que no era una buena side story, se sintió súper instalove, aunque ese actor es precioso.
Ya al final de la serie lo único que quería era ue terminar. Me costó mucho sobrevivir a los últimos 3 caps. No la volvería a ver ni a aunque la olvidara, así de molesta estaba.

All the actors were good in their roles. Kang Tae Oh was somewhat wasted as he mostly just stood there and smiled. Admittedly the idea of his character was a fantasy, a figment of past memories by Ji Na but wasted is the term that I'll go for. The best two actors were the ones with the strongest characters - Seo In Guk and Lee Soo Hyuk. Lee Soo Hyuk is so good and I'm glad he was used correctly. Tak Dong Kyung as a character was likeable. The choices the writers go in aren't too wayward. Park Bo Young was witty and amusing as always.
I had a good idea of what I was going to write for this review and rethinking about it has made me rewrite complete sentences. Enjoyable but wasted potential.

A Beautiful Mix of Fantasy, Emotion & Romance
Bo Young and In Guk really slayed their roles. Their chemistry was amazing—funny at first, then emotional and heartwarming later on. I loved how their relationship grew throughout the drama.The storyline was so unique and fresh. The fantasy part was done really well—not confusing or over-the-top, but magical and meaningful. The idea of doom as a person was something new, and it made the drama stand out.
This drama had everything—comedy, sadness, reality, and so many emotions. It made me smile, laugh, and even cry a little. It felt unreal in the best way and had me hooked from beginning to end.
I also liked that it didn’t just focus on the main leads. The side characters were given proper stories too, which made it more interesting and fun to watch.
And the music? Absolutely beautiful. The OST and background score were
so good, I had to add them to my playlist. The music added so much to every scene.
If you're into fantasy romance with deep emotions and a unique story, Doom at Your Service is definitely worth watching.
