doom at your service
this show wrecked me and healed me then wrecked me and healed me again. send help.
one of the most beautiful shows I've seen, made me giddy and happy at 2 am. there's something abt the trope of 'guy who hates everyone but her' that makes us all weak in the knees.
i. the concept of the series. seriously. chef's kiss. doom falls in love with a human? spectacular. stupendous. amazing. the storyline was executed so well, the cast was great, the twists and turns. everything, top tier.
ii. the acting was amazing, seeing park bo young cry made me want to cry as well. when doom turned from expressionless-humanity-is-shit asshole to i-will-become-human-for-her boyfriend was one of the best arcs ive seen. tak dong kyung was the perfect protag, not "im not like other girls" or "kind to a fault". she was kind, an incredible human being, but not at her own expense. loved that for her.
iii. the! second! couple! they had me more invested than most love triangle shows. cha joo ik was so fucking iconic, bad boy supreme but not an asshole somehow. i never thought someone would be able to toe this line so well tbh. na ji na, perfect example of girl stuck in the past, and a perfect arc as well. the third guy, lee hyun kyu, sort of annoyed me a bit but then he redeemed himself. good on you, hyun kyu, for growing up.
iv. i do think the whole forgetting thing was a bit unnecessary, but ig some might depict it in terms of "they tried everything but it still didn't work". also, the scene where they remember was so worth it.
v. special thanks to korea for giving me beautiful words for doom (멸망, myul mang) and fate (운명, unmyeong).
i always love it when tragic themes/ideas which are inherently seen as bad are portrayed in a positive way. doom at your service gave me that and more. love u guys.
Stuck between "I want this drama to have a happy ending" and "I don't want this drama to end!"
The day the second episode aired, my grandfather had passed away. Before that, I never used to watch ongoing K-Dramas. But I looked for comfort in this drama and fell in love. This drama was so beautiful, captivating and comforting, I can't describe how much I love it. Thank you to the writers, the directors, the actors, especially Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young whose chemistry really kept me on hook! Thank you so much💗
