I was hoping for more!!!

I will be breaking this review down into three parts to describe my feelings on the drama and the reason behind my rating.

Acting:

These actors and characters made the drama for me (I was able to get through it, thanks to them):

Seo In Guk - I would definitely say the reason I even continued to watch the show after episode 6 was for the way Seo In Guk portrayed the character of "Myeol Mang". I think he performed his character well so when viewing I didn't feel that the character was lacking in anything. If there was any time that his acting wasn't strong I believe it would most likely be due to the storyline.
Dawon - I also think that Dawon as Tak Seon Kyung did a great job bringing his character to life. I first saw his acting style in Click your Heart, which was before I knew that he was a part of SF9, I thought his profession was acting instead of a K-pop singer.
Woo Hee Jin's - I always like Woo Hee Jin's portrayals of her characters for all the dramas I have seen her in which include Angel's Last Mission: Love ,Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo and now this. She always makes me feel like she is the character at heart.

These actors and characters made me want to quit this drama (throw in the towel):

Park Bo Young - I usually like Park Bo Young's work but this was not one of them. Her acting was great at the beginning of the drama when everything was fresh and brand new but as the drama went on, she seemed more and more disconnected from her character. I would love to blame the way the story was written because it was subpar, but it is more than that. She looked less engrossed in the character and more like she was working her day job and she was doing what she was supposed to be doing so that she could go home (which is what it really is) . I was disappointed for her sake ( thinking about it, she was probably over the stupid story just as much as I was and just had enough of it ).

Lee Soo Hyuk - OH...NO... Should I really go into detail about Lee Soo Hyuk's acting... I love his voice, his handsome face and he is a great model, but I must say when it comes to acting, he is not my cup of tea. I was literally begging through my screen to see some emotions coming from his face because there was none, nothing, nada! If his character is being cheeky, his expression and persona hits the nail on the head every time but when it comes to his portray of romantic, seductive expressions... they are much lacking. The only romantic expression I saw from him through this whole drama was in the last episode and by that time it was too late for me. I was over it.

Storyline:
I must say, I think the way the writers began the story was great! It was a new take on some of the old drama cliché's which I was looking forward to. The drama was well promoted from my viewpoint, and it had a great cast so I expected a drama I would want to rate at least 8.5/10. But as the story progressed, the small hints of a new dynamic look to this drama quickly faded away. The reason behind why things happened stop making sense to the point where I stop trying to figure out what it was supposed to be and just went with the flow. Moments that were supposed to make the story strong completely had no factor other than the realization of what was taking place. The beginning of the drama started with a dark theme that I thought was new and exciting, I was looking forward to what the writers would do to incorporate it into the romantic scenes but no… It completely disappeared, as quickly as it came. It was no where to be found throughout more than half of the drama but when it came back it was not even worth it because it was just a repeat of the first part of the storyline. I was very disappointed when they literally wasted the viewers time by just recapping the first episodes of the drama, while acting like if it was something new and fresh that actually contributed to the story because it didn’t. It was all things that were previously known to the audience, so it was a basic waste of time. I expected the drama to be an overall dark and deep story with many heart-breaking moments that would live on me for a longtime, but it was just full of romantic fluff of the most mundane nature.

Entertainment:
I think the entertainment factor is very specific to what the viewer is expecting from the drama. If you are looking for a light fluffy love story with some meaningful moments here and there than you would really like this drama. But if you are a person such as myself who came into this drama expecting a darker theme overall with a strong desperate struggle of inner turmoil of the characters with a strong impactful romantic relationship then you are going to leave a bit disappointed and cheated like I was. I would consider the re-watch value of this drama to be very low for me, given the fact that there is nothing as a viewer I feel that needs a deeper understanding, nothing that can be interpreted from a different angle, everything was pretty basic and straightforward which a lot of people may like. There was a notable comedic value to the drama which I enjoyed. Overall, I think I understand what the writer may have been going for but the execution of it became poor after the initial excitement.

I know I stand alone but I did not get the hype.

I've loved Park Bo Young since Strong Woman and this was my first drama with Seo In Guk so I was optimistic, but this show was just ugh. There was no chemistry between them and even though many k-dramas have their leads barely meet and suddenly be in love for no real reason, I feel like that was extra atrocious in this show. I finished it but only because I felt like if I didn't, I would've wasted the seven hours it took me to get halfway through it.

Maybe it's because her chemistry with Park Hyung Sik was off the charts, and so this in comparison is awful, but I don't know because I watched this BECAUSE people said it was their fave drama ever. The other reason I finished this is because I didn't want to have multiple dramas I quit (I had just quit Kill Me Heal Me because the main female lead is absolutely insufferable).

Doom at your service

First drama I have started and my favourite, also I rewatched I think 4 times. OST is so freaking good, Breaking down is a masterpiece. Park Bo Young's acting just wow, Seo In Guk amazing, their chemistry together - there's no other their role partners where I like their chemistry as much - I really need next drama with this two as a couple. All actors did amazing job. Also love triangle for second leads was well done. Storyline was perfect, I cry everytime I watch this drama and I am so happy with the ending - I know that many people would like different ending and to be honest I would still love this drama exactly the same. I always recommend this when people ask about something to watch.

Great OST, at your service

OK, so...

~~Story~~ Interesting concept about a being that is not overused in other shows (even though most fantasy beings share the same traits such as immortality, mind-reading, etc). The fantasy elements fit right in - no need for that many visual effects. The first few episodes (1-6) are extremely binge-able as we get lots of new information and interesting interactions. Things get rather slow-paced and dramatic afterward. Even though I was expecting more emotional and memorable last 2 episodes, I still think the ending was OK and gave us a clear explanation. I presume that most viewers will feel kind of disappointed if they compare the first and the second half of the drama though, as the tone and pace of the story changes a bit. There are some confusing parts regarding the "contract", which made the overall story a bit weak IMO. Also, the second leads' story was a bit meh, not really to my taste with all that "coulda-woulda-shoulda" shenanigans. Maybe it's just a personal preference, but still. They were cute though! :D

~~Cast~~ GREAT CAST! A lot of actors I'm a fan of, and they did not disappoint. Especially the main leads <3 Unfortunately I think the script itself was weak in some of the scenes, so I'm not sure if I didn't like the acting itself, or just the dialogues, but second leads were not as convincing as the main leads, in my opinion. But overall the acting was very good/convincing!

~~Music~~ The OST is seriously one of the best parts of this drama. Very emotional and beautiful!

~~Rewatch Value~~ Well, I kind of want to rewatch the first 6 episodes, not gonna lie. The rom-com part is strong there and it's just interesting to see how the main leads fall in love. However, as the drama progresses slower in the second half, we don't get as much action, it's just the feelings sink in deeper. I guess if you like the melodrama and tears you would love to rewatch the whole thing, but it's not for me. Once I know the ending, I'm all for the rom-com/exciting parts :D

No tengo recuerdos de otro drama de fantasía/ romance en 2021 que pueda superar a este y no por que la historia sea muy revolucionaria o rompa con muchas barreras o toque temas que jamás se tocaron en cualquier otro drama pero en lo que si supera a muchos que estan estan por encima de la media es la notable química que hay entre seo in guk y park bo young. Creo que nunca tuvieron un proyecto juntos y por separado esta demás decir que es increíble la facilidad que tienen ambos actores para generar una química hermosa con sus co-protagonistas por lo que mi miedo al comenzar al ver este drama es "ellos dejaron la vara muy alta por separado y si juntos no cumplen con las expectativas?" pero si tienen ese pensamiento les quiero decir que cumplen y por mucho pero mucho mucho, verlos actuar juntos, mirarse, compartir momentos románticos, y la complicidad en escenas ligeras nunca deja de ser perfecta.
En lo personal siento que el ultimo capitulo que fue a modo de cierre del drama quedo algo extenso porque lo único relevante del todo que pudimos apreciar fue el cierre con la deidad y otro punto que considero flojo es que no sentí del todo la fuerza negativa que se oponía a la pareja principal o que no se pudo expresar del todo el sufrimiento cuando el momento de sufrimiento llego pero esto puede ser solo un punto muy personal.
Me gusto muchísimo la idea del triangulo amoroso en la pareja secundaria, siento que se le dio todo el peso en tiempo en cámara que una pareja secundaria necesita.
En conclusión tiene pocas innovaciones en cuanto dramas de fantasía/romance pero con un cast que actuó fenomenalmente y supo transmitir todas las emociones que se pedían.

Wasted potential...really boring

It was good at first but became really boring really fast. The main couple went from decently paced to extremely slow paced. I felt like I was watching a repititon of the previous episode.
The second couple was just a mess. The reason why ji na and lee hyun broke up was because joo ik interfered... for no reason might I add (he didnt even like her then). I didnt like how joo ik ended up with ji na after finding out what he did. In present he was the better choice but dudes a whole a** homewrecker and sh*t friend.
The deity bs was just plain confusing I stopped trying to make sense of it after the "reset".

The original thought process was good but the drama itself...well read for yourself in my review about Doom at Your Service the most awaited Korean Drama for the first half of 2021.
I wanted to like this drama but I could not.
This is my first short review and I am not finished with this but I am sure I will not change it as there are only two more episodes left and it ends Tuesday.
The story is comparable to fantasy Korean Dramas like Goblin, Gu Family Book, any other mythical creatures dramas and I loved the layout but the plot writing and process of this drama is what seals the low deal for me.
The original story was pretty damn well thought out but the application is what failed.
I usually love secondary couples in dramas but I thought I could do without them here, about 75 percent of the time, the drama failed in representing the whole drama and the meaning of making the drama. Making it a messy and well dragged out drama.
I liked the cast, I love Seo In Guk and Park Bo young both are amazing actors and they acted very well and I feel like they could have possibly give me the potentially high rating I am actually giving it. I don't really care what other people say, but I like Lee Soo Hyuk and I think he is a good actor but his storyline wasn't great. I didn't feel the chemistry between Ji na and Joo Ik, it wasn't the best.
I really loved this drama at the start but it went down for me. In whole, if the main couple had gotten a better thought out process I could have learned to keep on loving this drama but it just seems like it tried to be Oh my God, it's Doom at Your Service best fantasy drama of 2021, but it went to a crappy version of any other mythical romance out there. I actually like My Roommate is a Guimho better and it has a similar plot but I couldn't like this drama. I am very sorry to Seo In Guk and Park Bo Young, and their wonderful acting and chemistry but I couldn't salvage this drama. Of course, I know people with otherwise different opinions but I hope you don't attack me on this review, I just didn't like this drama and the rating I am giving seems pretty high to me, (all the main couple) again if you liked this drama please don't come at me, we all have different opinions and let's not waste our time arguing. That is my final verdict on this drama and I loved the OST, I am a multifandom but my favorite favorite group is EXO and Baekhyun did not disappoint me, this had one of the best OST line up's in 2021, and I really will be visiting the MV's again to hear the songs. Have a nice day!

Neither Good or Bad.

Boy.... I missed watching according to the schedule and completely feel unmotivated to continue after EP11. The more I think
about the spoilers and the way the story wove into a labyrinth for the sake of filling the episodes, the less inclined I feel to know what happens in the future. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime, bit it's definitely a Dropped from me for now. I'd recommed this show if you don't care much about plot or if you are a strong fan of the leads. I'd suggest turning off the "logic+understanding" and switching on the "only for enjoyment" button on before starting. Otherwise, I feel like so many talented actors (who did their job well) were wasted in this one. The script/story lacks direction and runs around in circles with the Deity system itself remaining ambiguos and difficult to portray. It could've been solved in 10 or 12 episodes, but dragged on for no good reason.
--------
I'm going to rate it a 5/10 for the first 11 episodes of the drama. 5 is me focussing on the plot alone and the overall way it impacts the pace and anticipation for the story as a whole.
What bothers me is that the writer seems to know where the story has to go, but did not do a smooth portrayal of it. We are at the 10th episode, and the only plotline that is actually in motion is the mundane love triangle of Tak Dong Kyung's friend Ji Na... which I am not interested in. The main couple's "throw-the-ball-to-the-other" keeps going on. In an episode spanning an hour long we get 10 minutes of important points about the leads, particularly from Doom and the deity. It is clear that he has a plan, but the story has yet to reveal what he is actually upto. The only character who makes logical statements is the female deity, but she seems to be someone cleverly inserted to give the main couple a happy/neutral/bitter ending. Unless you are a fan of slow plots and is patient enough to watch sweet scenes with the leads, I highly doubt that this drama is "binge watch worthy". From what I see, Tak Dong Kyung can choose to just take the surgery and live with what time she has, making the 100 day contract invalid. But, judging from EP11's teaser, we are going to get pulled into another maze of intricate ball throwing and decisions, so let's see where it goes.

I can see why it has so many polarized ratings - for a fantasy KDrama with predecessors such as Goblin and Hotel del Luna, the anticipation and expectation is really high. Once we set all that aside, DAYS is indeed a different drama with a an interesting plotline. Doom himself is personified as a living being and the concept of the cycle of life is something I'm seeing for the first time.

Fantasy dramas are either a hit or miss and I can tell that this one has a lot of potential to take either road. EP8 was slightly satisfying as it managed to cover a few important foreshadowings that could have been done much earlier. There are characters and conversations that are actually interesting: like the young teenage girl and Myul Mung. We get a mysterious vibe.
The main couple is ship worthy, but the erratic "toss-the-ball-to-the-other" plot has been a bit repetative and makes it seem boring. Another thing that I noticed is that there might be time skips - the drama begins with her having only three months left to live and then in the recent episode she tells that she has about two months left.
The acting of the cast fills up all the missing parts, but once we try to summarize an episode... there's not much going on there. I don't feel the urge to binge the new ones every week. I also feel that the addition of the friend's complicated love life is a filler of some sort, but if they had not been there, the drama would be pretty boring.
It has enough mystery and potential to keep me curious and I want to see whether the ending is going to be a thrilling, yet logical one or if the writers decide to do a cope out.

The show is just absurd.

Let's start out by getting the terms of the contract straight. Dong-kyung has terminal cancer and 100 days left to live. She thoughtlessly wishes for the end of the world, after which Doom approached her to enter into a weird contract. The contract stipulates that she has to wish for the destruction of the world in return for a painless 100 days before her death. If she goes back on her end of the deal, her most loved one will die in her place. Oh, and he will also grant her an additional wish on the side, presumably a loophole for her to break out of this conundrum. What are the fine prints? How is this contract enforced? No one knows, perhaps we can just take it for granted. Wait a minute, if the world is doomed, how can she and her loved one survive? Well, good question. From any logical point of view, it seems like this is a dumb contract to enter. In fact, even the truck of doom there to grant her an instant death seemed like a more viable alternative. There is a "reason" for this though, see what happens next.

She figured that she can wriggle around the terms of the contract by finding someone else to love. She also has the perfect target: Doom. She doesn't really care that after she falls in love with that person, she most definitely will not want to wish doom upon him as well. I mean, drama characters have the right to be ultra short-sighted to push plot movement anyway, so we need to accept her rationale behind this for drama sake. She's also dying, and that desperation means that she can't think straight. We should really forgive her even though the decision makes no sense. And who would've guessed? This plays fantastically into Doom's plan because he's tired of being Doom anyway. Brilliant! Now, our leads have motivation to force themselves to fall in love with each other. The writer proceeds to cue all k-drama tropes. *roll eyes* What's the point of the contract did you ask? For them to fall in love of course!

They do so very quickly. That's natural, right? Even though it's forced, even though the relationship build up was skimmed over, it doesn't matter. This is just fan service after all. What now? Huh? Falling in love is not a good idea anymore? Okay. It's a good idea again? Okay. It's time to spend a few episodes deliberating to love or not to love. In the meantime, write some Chicken Soup for the Soul-esque lines and have the characters engaged in intentionally "profound" dialogues about the meaning of life and death, fortune and misfortune, yin and yang, North and South, positive and negative... you get it. It's important to emphasise to our viewers that this drama is not just a frivolous fantasy romance, it's a thought-provoking philosophical drama and we want to send the audience a message. A message that's been told a thousand times over and is nothing novel. *glance*

Follow me. One step forward, one step back, side to side, side to side. Okay, the story is finally done with the flip flop and faux dilemma. Our leads realised that their affection for each other is strong, despite the fact that they've only known each other for a very short time. They confess their love but gets hindered by a god-like being. We don't know what's the reason for that, but there must be a reason, and we'll discover it sooner or later. We do know one thing, that love, not 42, is the answer to life, the universe and everything. We can rest assured that our leads will romance more. Meanwhile, we should not doubt or be perplexed, because this lends to the mysterious vibes of the drama. This is why character motivations are vague. This is a fantasy drama after all, how can you expect answers at the start, even if they have everything to do with understanding why people do the things they do? Of course, the best epic dramas do world building, lay out rules and laws, and leave engaging puzzles. Basic creative writing 101. This drama is different, we're not gonna tell you what are gods, what do gods do and whatnot. This is a departure from normal dramas, this is different, this is how it should be.

Extraordinarily bad.

Satire aside, there are some huge problems with the drama.

1. The premise is weak. We all know that romance dramas need a reason to bring our leads together, but the reason here is too obvious, too lame and too unconvincing.

2. World building is non-existent. The first two episodes should lay down what are the basic laws of this fantasy world that the writer has created, but we got none of that. The writer is treating the laws of the universe as mysteries the viewers should uncover, which isn't good story telling. This means that the drama isn't grounded and viewers are left scratching their heads why people behave in a certain way. Also, because there is no ground work done, these mysteries are not enticing but frustrating.

3. The deliberately cryptic dialogues. Usually, when a drama wants to relay a message, it uses a sub plot to tell a story and let viewers come to the conclusion themselves. DAYS is very peculiar in that its story and scenes contribute very weakly to the sort of message the writer wants to tell. Instead, it tries to emphasise the messages indirectly with the dialogues instead, and then you're left thinking: "Oh, just this? Meh." It doesn't resonate with the audience. It reminds me of the short stories I wrote in middle school with really basic plots and an underlying theme that was executed awkwardly.

4. The story development is slow. In fact, I'm not sure what exactly is the story. If they want to talk about the romance, then our leads have fallen in love too quickly and what's left is separation and reunion on rinse and repeat. If they want to be philosophical, then the script just falls short entirely.

5. The detached side plot is jarring. At the present moment it doesn't contribute to anything (except the tug-o-war between the fans of the actors).

On a personal level, I find the drama extremely pretentious and trying to bite off more than it can chew. I rated it a 1 to balance out the actual ratings, but to judge the drama solely based on its quality it's a 5/10.

EDIT: Also, don't assume that I don't understand what's going on in the drama. I do, I just don't see how it's deep or meaningful in any way. I also understand Korean, so there is nothing lost in translation for me.

Their Chemistry is just fire ??!!TvN never disappoints me..✌️

I Don't know why others are watching this drama but For me All I see is Their Chemistry.. Specially SEO IN GUK.. he has already won hearts of almost every spectators who are currently watching this.. and PARK BO YOUNG was always been cutiepie... Though she look much more mature.. But they make the best chemistry... 😍😍

About the storyline i can say that. ofc as a fantasy based drama its quite interesting.. also the name of the drama tell itself, what is this drama about... Its has rom com and ofc some imaginatic things...
but the show had a potential in beginning but it was getting lost episode by episode... it was upseting..
but i must say i was always Afraid about what would happen to them next... But i enjoyed every moment... After "Crash Landing on You" this drama made me cry like hell.. And Also gave me the same pain which i experienced while watching .. "Goblin.. " I laughed, i Cried,... But I am happy that i watched it.. And Now i will miss them like helllll.. Specially Kim Saram { Seo In Guk}... i just love himm.....
.

But one thing i am happy that it has a good ending but one thing did really annoyed me that the ending Didn't satisfy me.. I wanted it to be a little more cute..at least a little hug or kiss.. but i am really gald that it had a happy ending.. bcoz we were afraid of a sad ending for both 1st & 2nd lead couple...

★now lets talk about 2nd leads...
the second Leeds are another highlight of the drama..they have a love triangle so this makes the drama even more interesting ​..and another thing is they are incredibly beautiful that they can make another drama with this 2nd.. 2nd main lead couple was too perfect for each other. ... Many Viewers are currently shipping them..

★ I really want to Thank the Director and screenwriter for this amazing story and casting...

LOVED EVERYTHING ❤️







and yeah,,,,, i recommend THIS drama to everyone who loves Fantasy / Rom-com

enjoyable if u know what to expect

I can't say i completely disagree with the many bad reviews, i mean the plot isn't necessarily perfect in any sense, and the drama is in big part enjoyable because of the good actors and chemistry.

Then again, I usually really try to base my opinions on dramas solely on how i felt while watching it, and since i would always be excited when mondays would roll around, since I fell in love with the characters, since I have the entire OST downloaded on spotify... I can't really say that I didn't like this drama.
I get why some people might not be super into it, after all it can get repetitive and, especially if you're reading subtitles, the quotes are "deep" without really being deep at all at times.
But i just couldn't help but really love the drama in general. I think the chemistry between the 2 main leads tied it together (I know everyone rages about the love triangle but? to me TDK and MM were the only ones i ac cared about) and i loved the script, dialogue, interactions between everyone.

I actually genuinely enjoyed the plot. I liked the story line, not only the interactions. I'm just saying it was slow paced and definitely not enjoyable for people looking forward to big ups and dramatic downs in every scene. But the plot was well written imo. (I feel like i can't say anything without being disagreed with and i'm cool with that)

It's just the love story between MM and TDK that i couldn't get enough of, to put it simply. Their personalities and their character development all felt relatable to me, weirdly enough. It's all put in this complicated setting but at the end of the day I just related to the characters.

I would definitely recommend this to people looking for something to get attached to. I watched 2 episodes per week for 2 months and i'm a sad that i won't be able to get new episodes to look forward to.

Loved DAYS For What It Was!!!

I was so excited for DAYS and I ended up really liking it! The message of life & death and love was so beautiful and that was my biggest take away from the drama (apart from the heart-wrenching and beautiful romance :) )

Plot: This is where I think most of the criticism of the drama is coming from so I will start off with positives since I liked the drama.

PROS:
- THE ROMANCE!!!! This is my first SIG / second PBY drama and I was not disappointed at ALL with the chemistry!! The hugs, stares, tears, hand-holding, the kisses, just everything about them was lovely and convincing of their love for each other. This was probably my favorite part of the drama along with the message <3
- The message of life and death and love was absolutely beautiful and meaningful. The writer did such a beautiful job of making the characters fall in love with their life I would say. We see these characters really distressed and down about life but end up finding joy, despite the storms that came their way and to me this message was so powerful and heartfelt. Because I want this to be spoiler free I won't go into more detail but the message is written so well.
- The inclusion of family/friends/peers. Kind of goes in hand with the message of life but the writer also does a great job showing how much people affect our life and how they help fulfill our life. Throughout the drama, you see how much the people DK's life care about her and ultimately bring her comfort and the love she ever so needed during this time.
- The second lead couple's development in the end. The love triangle was tiring at times but I think that's every love triangle. In the end I loved how the second lead couple ends up and develops through the love triangle.
- All of the characters developed pretty well and realistically (I really don't care about a drama being realistic because it's fiction and entertainment but in the case of this show the development makes sense and also gives us room to think about how they will continue to grow past what we saw).
- The cinematography was gorgeous. Every scene was shot perfectly and added to the dramas quality.
CONS-
- The writer could have dove deeper into the fantasy aspects of the show. Since the show was advertised as a fantasy-romance, I think it would have been helpful if the fantasy was explored more, like the background of Doom. I also think the contract could have been clearer as well. I think many people (including me for a little) were confused on the true basis of the contract but it does become clearer throughout the show.
- The story dragged a bit and was repetitive at times. Somewhere in the middle it does get a little slow and it's because of the writer's repetition. I think the repetition is there to really show the importance of fate in the leads relationship BUT some of that repetition and fluff could have been taken out. If some of the repetition and fluff had been cut out, that time could have been used to further develop the fantasy plot, really show us DK going through her illness, and even take more time to really develop the leads relationship (the stages of hate to love). The leads relationship makes sense and I truly loved it but I do think the writer could have pushed their development more.
- DK's illness kind of became secondary to the story. I would have liked to really see her going through illness since it's a big part of the story. We do see her sick but probably not enough to convince every viewer, especially as her time is running out.

Acting/Cast- BRAVO to the cast!! The acting was superb and super heartfelt. There were moments of comedy to sorrow to joy and all the cast members did a wonderful job portraying all of these emotions and their development. I think the acting being on point was expected because this is a star-studded cast but it was amazing. One thing I do have to say is why didn't they have Kevin/the aunt be a little more believable that they could communicate :/ some of the scenes with Kevin were a bit awkward but he was place in the last episode was good. Also like 1 or 2 of PBY's crying scenes were just a smidge over the top but that just might be me, it didn't take away from the scenes at all for me.

Music- ONE OF THE BEST PARTS OF THIS DRAMA!!!! Every, and I mean EVERY song is in my playlist. The ost was THAT good. Such a good job on choosing the artists for DAYS ost, all the songs made me sing along so loud. Every song is definitely imprinted in my mind and will be for a long time. I'm so glad I get to associate such a great ost with a beautiful drama <3

Rewatch Value- There's a good chance I would watch this drama in the future because there was A LOT of symbolism and messages I probably didn't pick up on.

Overall I really enjoyed DAYS. I think if this show was marketed as more of a drama about life, romance, family, friendship, maybe even melodrama, and a little less about fantasy, it would have received much less criticism. I think if you can accept that the writer focused more on her messages and other parts of the drama than the fantasy aspect, you will enjoy this drama. Please, please, please do not watch this drama with expectations of it being like other fantasy romances like Goblin, you will probably ruin your viewing experience. I can say this show is not a typical fantasy romance from what I have watched but it doesn't make the drama less than the ones that are. If anything, I can say it's a rare gem in its genre because of its beautiful story of life/death, family/friends, and love. If you are interested at all about watching this drama, go ahead and watch it!! The worst thing that can happen is you won't like it and there will never be a drama where everyone loves or dislikes it the same. If you ask me, its worth trying to watch!

Happy watching!! :)
