I really love Park Bo Young, she is my favorite korean actress and I almost watched all her works, so the first thing that made me watch DAYS is her. As for Seo In Guk what a surprise! I know he is a singer turned actor but I never saw any his project and I never heard his songs but he nailed the character of Myul Mang. He is a very good actor, I loved his expressive eyes and he can be sexy too. I know Kang Te Ho too I appreciated him in The Tale of Nokdu.
For the first 4 episodes if I have to give points i give 100, starting to the 5th to the end i have to give 99. There was a slighting fall. The freshness of the first episodes went away but I still enjoyed everything.
I read some comments in the comments sections about the contract being not clear but personally I didn't any problem to understand what's going on. The only thing that was not clear to me is the Deity; sometimes she is supportive to our couple sometimes not and than again supportive and than not.. Her lines were a little bit confusing, the character should have been written in a better way.
Is being a while since I was invested and obsessed about a drama.
I cried and smiled a lot and the chemistry with the two main lead was so intense. I never felt bored, i enjoyed watching how they stat to love each, erasing each other, the way they found and loosing each other. I really felt their love i had butterflys too!
To be honest i was not so invested in the love triangle, at first it was so random to the main story but after some episodes I became curious about Jina's feelings.
In my playlist these days I have all the OST, the songs are really beautiful.
Overall i have to give a 10 everything was perfect and the story make sense for me, I enjoyed everything and I don't know how i will spend the Mondays and Tuesday from now on, I am not ready to let them go.

"Love Me To The Point You Want To Destroy The World For Me"
Doom is served... Here is my review on the beautiful drama about fate and how the fate of the world relies in the hands on the people living in it.Story:
The flow of the story progressed well in the first eight episodes, however, it began to progress slowly later on. I really enjoyed how it was an enemies/strangers to lovers in the beginning, but when the two leads got together pretty fast, it felt as if there was nothing to look forward to. The love triangle between Ji-na, Hyun-kyu, and Joo-ik was the only thing I was still invested it ToT. On the other hand, I really like the overall message and plot of the drama. The conflicting feeling of sacrificing everything/everyone for the person you love or letting go the one you love to save others really makes you question about life and how you can apply a strong message like this to the world we live in today.
Acting/Cast:
I loved the cast in this drama. They really got Park Bo-young, the queen the fantasy dramas and Seo In-guk. The chemistry these two portrayed in the show was absolutely amazing and you can really see how well it was shown throughout the show. This was surprisingly the first drama I've seen In-guk in, but I know he is a popular actor and his acting didn't disappoint. I also liked seeing new faces such as Lee Soo-hyuk and Shin Do-hyun, I will know be obsessing over these two in their future projects ><
Music:
Hellooo??? The OSTs for this drama were absolutely golden. You had TXT, Baekhyun, Ailee, Gummy, Davichi, and more!! You can't go wrong with any of these artists and the OSTs obviously didn't disappoint.
Overall:
The cinematography to this drama was also very beautiful and is something to look forward to throughout the show. I would definitely recommend this drama to someone who enjoys fantasy dramas.

what a waste of what could've been a great drama
like a lot of other people I started watching this for the leads Seo Inguk and Park Boyoung and these two didn't disappoint. they did deliver a great performance for the poor script of the show. I'd give this a 5/10 or less if it wasn't for them.the second leads story was neither interesting nor did it add anything to the story but just felt like a filler instead. they tried to make it a "omg look at the secondary leads 3 good looking people in a love triangle" but failed badly. the other side characters were also pretty meaning less.
I watched Lee Soohyuk in Tomorrow and his stoic acting fit his character there but here his acting made his character even less interesting here, to me he's just one more of those actors that are there cuz they're good looking and draw attention but can't really act sorry.
Seo Inguk's character had so much potential he was the stone cold supernatural male lead that brought destruction with everything he did, but that lasted only one episode. most of the show you couldn't even see doom causing doom the only thing he did was teleport and time travel.
I watched this solely to see doom falling in love with a terminally ill cancer patient but I never really got to see him falling in love. one day he'd threaten her and they'd fight and the next day they say they're in love like it was mood swings every 30 mins and we never got to see their characters mold into each other, get that character development (esp cold hearted doom).
the character development of doom was something I really wanted to see but never did it was like he was a completely new person suddenly and no gradual change and it was disappointing tbh.
the god (deity) felt more like a villain or her character was just poorly made. none of her actions made any sense like what was she even trying to do??
also the plot felt very forced to bring out a love story like the FL suddenly deciding that she had to fall in love with the ML to survive... where did she get that from? and then suddenly deciding to live together but were technically living in two separate houses.
the dialogues were THE WORST. they were so corny and so poorly written you could even tell some were forced into the script just for some tears (they didn't fit in naturally). only kept watching this for Seo Inguk and Park Boyoung's good acting which really carried the entire show. though I found ep 9 & 10 pretty interesting cuz these two again carried.
I didn't really like the music, maybe it's just my personal taste but I feel like it had OSTs that I could swear I heard in another drama and were nothing special either.
OVERALL: if you're interested in a fantasy drama with a good plot and well written and interesting characters this is absolutely not for you. but if you wish to see it just for the leads' chemistry with each other, go ahead and watch it! though I can guarantee you that you can skip every other scene except theirs and you'll be missing nothing at all cuz rest of it is just a filler.

This drama was beyond my imagination of what I thought it would be......
So honestly this drama had ups and downs throughout, by ups and downs, I don't mean my rating on the show I mean what happens in the show. Okay, so, this show was like a hate-to romance type, like hatred at the beginning, then slowly begin to love one another. So, my rating on this Television Series is, that I have watched so many romance dramas, but this one was beyond my standards for A romance drama, it had everything. It went from hardships to failure to love to hatred to having to fit in and having an uncomfortable situation to handle. These are my type of dramas, so I rate Doom at your Service 10/10 with 12/16 episodes watched.Was this review helpful to you?

THE DEFINITION OF "PERFECTION"!DO NOT MISS THIS OUT!
Now that's what I'm talking about!This slow-burn-romance drama which is a piece of ART absolutely exceeded my expectations.This masterpiece is heart-fluttering,heart-warming,enticing,humorous and thrilling.I was NOT bored for a single second.So far,each and every episode is the definition of "REWATCH VALUE".The cinematography of this one is outright MESMERISING.The CGI,the OSTs and the BG MUSIC gave me goosebumps.The plotline is engrossing,well-established and unique in it's own manner.One of the many notable factors of this show is the way visual/verbal metaphors were used to portray the lives of the main characters and the situation they're placed in through a captivating manner.The characterization of each and every character of this show was on point.
The cast of the show,especially the leads are doing a FABULOUS job!!
I INSTANTLY FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LEADS AND THE CHARACTERS THEY PORTRAY!The chemistry between the leads which is on FIRE is the highlight of the show!
In the conclusion,you're gonna get thoroughly immersed in this drama while watching it and crave for more.You'll find yourself screaming with joy and bawling your eyes out the next moment.I strongly believe that this drama won't disappoint me later on and that the whole ride will be an unforgettable experience.Go ahead and give it a try!I'm sure that you'll eagerly wait for the upcoming episodes and suffer like I'm doing right now.I genuinely hope that this show receives the recognition and appreciation it deserves!

I didn't want to drop this. I had every intention of going back and completing it. But after being stuck at ep 11 for literal months, I just couldn't get myself to go back.The performances are superb. I really like the mythos/world/world-building of the story. It has a great atmospheric feeling during the more fantastical elements. I love both of the main characters and can really empathize with them. I'm not interested in the love triangle between the three secondary leads, but that's not really important enough for me to drop a drama. And I didn't find the rules of the universe confusing at all.
I just couldn't connect with the story. I really wanted to see the female lead more cut up about having to leave her loves ones, because I know I would be an absolute wreck if this sort of thing happened to me. And as much as I liked the romance, I found some of the leads motivations to not be very strong, and some of their choices frustrating.
I don't think this is a completely worthless drama. The right audience would love it. It's not a drama about the role of god or the mysteries of the universe or building an immersive fantasy world (although I think it does mostly succeed on that last point). The fantastical, other-worldly elements are there to serve the romance and the drama's underlying themes: sadness, loneliness, losing hope and then finding someone in the midst of it all. And that's what this drama is really about. Finding someone to be there with you at your lowest points. Which is definitely something a lot of viewers would enjoy.

Well its based on your taste
Well I started to watch this cuz of the actor. He's so cool and I mean he's the perfect match for the character and the girl is giving her 💯. All the cast gave their best for this .And I thought of leaving cuz I remembered my brother who passed away with every episode. Its perfect the Dialogs and all the aspects are amazing.
Its not fluffy and its kind of repetitive so it made the viewer feel bit bored. The story is great they could've made each episode bit exciting to watch, I mean give us a motivation to watch the next epi. truely speaking I watched this much I thik cuz of the ML ♥️
Overall the drama is good
The plot is different and beautiful
But its getting bit boring with the flow
They could've made it kinda exciting to wait for the next epi and they could've give bit of skinship and bit chemistry with the FL and ML
The character personality has well defined ♥️ I love when there's a character personality given
So I think its a drama with great potential but its kinda went down
I would watch the other episodes when i felt like i mean the drama won't making me to be eager to watch without sleeping .thats the monjaye 😂♥️
Well its a nice one
If you want to feel heavy and feel like yo watch a drama with different feelings this would be okay
Or you wish to watch a drama with excitement NOp this wont give you that
Its beautiful BTW ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

extremely overrated
I don't quite get the hype on this series. I do agree that the leads are cute, but everything else is missing or very poor - comapred to the K-drama standards. The writing is blank: 16 times about 90 Minutes of one theme void of any contents; not even the romance part is convincing. The story and the production and the acting feel togehter like a late fall vegetable soup: it would warm you up, but your stomach will turn outside soon. I rarely give up during a series, yet this was too much for me.Watching more than one episode of this series will waste your time.

Soooo boring
I wanted to like, i really did. But I gave up. I'm dropping this after only 3 eps because after seeing 3 eps, I'm still not curious and I'm not entertained, so what's the point. On the outside, it seems like a perfectly formulated drama but once you watch, it'a so bare that there's not much to see. There was no chemistry between the leads. The story didn't have a wow factor. The supporting cast was not interesting. I couldn't watch an episode straight because it made me want to sleep or do something else, it just can't hold my interest for long.Was this review helpful to you?
Awesome
PBY is such an amazing actress .in drama she spoke her lines so well and remarkable refer to ep 1-2.And SIG really acted so well as doom. His smirk, lighter scenes, his hillarious cameo as doctor. Everything was perfect.
I stunned with the ep3 ending scene.
If everyone is confused about the contract btw them they should altleast rewatch the videos clips of ep 3 and ep 4.
I can explain on the comment section.
But do watch this drama for PBY and SIG. Even if it ia getting goblin vibes but story is differrent .and part from romance, They have fight, hate and witty conversation as well and its make more fun to watch.
Music ost -breaking down is good.

Cryptic Asia
The reason I prefer cdrama over kdrama is the cryptic factor.i watch shows to be entertained not frustrated Doom at your service is a perfect example starts of great good story, good looking cast with great chemistry and by EP 7 I'm pressing rewind did I miss something why is it getting harder to follow story when I'm watching attentively? Why is doom trying to get away from FL why is God/Omega annoying and wants to stop relationship between couple why? Why? Why? How many why's before frustration takes over! If there are these many unanswered questions how can I enjoy a story I no longer understand how can I invest in characters whose motivation I don't know yes there should be some intrigue and anticipation but not to the point that you actually need to be a detective to follow story too cryptic and non entertaining for me. Why do Korean dramas choose to distance viewers with cryptic plots which get boring tangled frustrating and stupid keep it simple ! Entertainment is the aim not passing an exam at university!!!Was this review helpful to you?
