Desgraça ao Seu Dispor (2021)

honestly i dont really remember much of this kdrama except for the fact that people who will face death soon face doom etc, its kind of like getting a visit from the grim reaper in some kind of sense. Its such a sweet story but also a bit nonsensical because how the hell does a ...i guess in some way a deity, fall for a human? I thought those kind of spirits don't really have any capability to fall in love with someone. But im not gonna complain since they delivered amazing romantic scenes, and the tension betweem them...phew..
it never left me bored either, i really enjoyed it!

Star studded casts that uplifted the show

This has to be a battle between loving it or hating it. I got mixed emotions from watching the show; sometimes I felt too excited and sometimes too bored. Doom -the character of destruction, is the only new flavor of the story and the rest has the norms similar to what I’ve seen from a fantasy-romance drama.

I’m a big fan of the actors playing in the drama. Yet, this isn’t enough to save the whole show from being average. They are excellent actors but their characters are a little bit off. This may be because of how overwritten the story progress is. I am happy that the last few episodes are actually better than the earlier episodes.

The story of the side couple that features an awkward love triangle is better than the main couple. However, the end game isn’t acceptable since one has to let go and the other wins like nothing happened between his closest friend. On the contrary, the main couple's story started too shaky but ended up too smoothly. I rated the score not too low and with much appreciation for the efforts and production quality. A bonus point is that Byun Baekyun once again sang the OST of a drama that mesmerized me and literally fits the magical and romantic vibes of the story.

perhaps we the viewers, are more doomed than the figure of Doom himself

wow, i am so mad.

i really wanted to love this drama so bad ever since i heard of the news of the actors cast in it (i.e. my top faves).

damn wasted.

in fact, the finale may have made me even angier.

before getting to the finale, spending 15 episodes on this drama truly felt like a chore when the complexity of the story could have been so much more.

the genres that are descriptive of this show that are romance, comedy or fantasy, i can almost say with confidence have failed at all fronts.

i couldn't exactly recall an exact moment where it was anything comedic. it was kinda charming and sweet in some ways, but not comedic. it was romantic in other ways, but not exactly heart-wrenching either. was it truly dramatic? I FCKIN DOUBT IT! was the fantasy, fantastic? NO WAY, FAR FROM IT.

several points:

1. the female deity as the solo interaction/connection to Myul Mang is damn frustrating. literally from start to end, i don't exactly know what is she doing, or conveying with all the annoying metaphors. btw, what's the purpose, or logic in her being a sick patient all the time? can't she be healthy and kickass instead? fucking terribly written character that's so vague and almost felt useless throughout.

2. if the theme of the drama is about the FL facing death especially in a fantasy genre, then I JUST DON'T FCKIN UNDERSTAND WHY THE WRITERS CAN'T BOTHER GIVING US A GRIM REAPER CHARACTER, THAT COULD'VE BEEN PLAYED PERFECTLY BY LEE SOO HYUK. instead he plays a normal office guy who's a side-kick to the second love story. WTF is this nonsense!

3. i saw some youtube comments saying they gave up watching this drama for the main couple, but for the second couple only. well, i have to disagree strongly. none of the primary, or secondary love story worked on me actually. i thought the main couple's chemistry is really amazing, but their romance or love story rather sucked. and the second love story is even more unamusing. both males in the second love story are the cool, laid-back and non-confrontational type that there's literally 'no' polarity to create real tension from. perhaps it's what has saved the writer's arse from having to really think about what story arc would have made the conflict a lot more believable.

4. the Doom itself, what an amazing character potential totally lost in the hands of a sh*tty writer. wished we had more background into his past life, because the scene where he was crying at the funeral of someone was never properly explained. i am so damn curious about him just for him, outside of his romance arc and all the lame-ass interactions with the female deity that felt useless.

5. coming back to one of the most lame finale i have ever watched. if Dong Kyung was so tortured and in deep agony by Myul Mang's disappearance, then why is it that when he came back to her life in a human form and immediately proposed to her, that she refused, or dismissed him? at least THAT'S EXACTLY HOW IT WAS IN THE VERY LAST SCENE, she was still dismissing him. not fooling around with him, but it really seemed like that wasn't in her agenda for anytime soon. and here i am, not knowing how to deal with that garbage of an ending, sh*t!

to conclude, i truly feel this is lazy, sh*tty and almost brainless screenwriting on all fronts. the concept itself had amazing potential in the hands of an otherwise really talented writer, and the ensemble of such amazing cast. one can wish. honestly, i would've rated this drama so much lower if not because i hate doing that to a drama where Seo In Guk was in.

i don't think i'll ever get over how mad i am at how this drama turned out, considering i love Seo In Guk's sexiness way too much to pass this from being a 'tolerable' enough multiple re-watch. the real doom then perhaps, is on us.

Didn't expect this is a good series

At first, I was intrigued to watch this series and most especially love the FL. I'm kind of hooked up from the Korean then Chinese dramas since the pandemic. love watching them and some of them let me skip some time. Especially, the time that I kind of thought it was boring especially with those SL or to the characters that somehow doesn't involve to the story of the FL and ML. I even now enjoying listening to the soundtracks even I don't understand it.

Doom at your service is one of the Korean series I don't skip. I keep watching it. I can't get myself to skip because I might miss the story especially mostly of the series focuses on the FL and ML. It is also the first time that I love 100% the SML and SFL. they do well with each other. I love their story as well. Not so clingy but Love the way the SML showed his love and concern to the SFL. They are meant with each other.

Love the way the FL showed her love to the ML and as well how they get well with each other. I just felt happy to the FL, she done a great job portraying the character and I just can't stop myself loving her more especially when she pours her sadness to the ML or to the SFL. just love the FL. Hope i can see the second part of the story. how their life after everything.

must watch!

Perfect combination of romcom and drama

It was lighter than I expected, but it kept me at the edge of my seat. I was hooked immediately by the first episode and I was glued until the very end. Pacing was good, the writing was consistently progressive, and I love its portrayal of the reality of how fickle human emotion can be (I think it was between Episodes 1-4). I found myself laughing really hard, ugly crying at some parts, and swooning over so many scenes. It's near the likes of Goblin and some details reminded me of My Roommate is A Gumiho (though this was released first), but it was unique in its own way and I think I like this a tad bit more. Plus, casting was perfect and so was the distinct OST. Masterpiece. I love it so much and definitely something I'm recommending to friends.

An Adorable Staple On Your K-drama Shelf

The main feature of this K-drama: Seo In Guk. Among the cold mysterious male leads Seo In Guk is hands down the hottest. I'm genuinely fascinated by the way he cracks that ice mask with his eyes only. It's damn hypnotizing.

🔸I do believe the drama with a long and confusing title 어느 날 우리 집 현관으로 멸망이 들어왔다 (One day doom entered my house through the front door) has earned its place among the classics. It's a heartwarming and well-executed romance between a human and a supernatural being with actually engaging supporting plots. I love how it teaches us to appreciate the present and the fleeting moments of happiness, because there is no happiness without sorrow and no birth without death. The main theme of death in the drama is handled very well. Tak Dong Gyeong is terminally ill, but it doesn't feel like an intentional tear-jerker. Instead, the story concentrates on her connection with her family and friends and recognition of human relationships. The surreal world of Myeol Mang is also attractive in its emptiness and solace, and you're eager to unravel his true nature as his character evolves. The drama depends on him entirely.

🔸The overall story is pretty standard and predictable for a fantasy/romance, involving the annoying trope of memory erasure, but the way the drama takes you on that journey is worth the time. I didn't notice how fast I finished it considering that it's not packed with action and mind-blowing twists. My complaint remains: the emerging of the contract and its conditions - the key element of the story - wasn't clear from the very beginning and stayed unclear to the very end.

doom at your service is beyond doubt a fantasy!

what i love the most about doom at your service is that the story flow which started with angst, i-feel-like-it-is-a-sad-ending, forboding all the blues feels and, turned to a happy ending. most dramas are like happy-happy-angst-happy flow, but days is not your typical one. the flow makes it unique in its way!

doom at your service is best when you binge-watch, i waited every week and got to admit that it is not the best fantasy drama. along the way, yes i got bored watching it. the first few episodes are so promising and i lost in the second half because of too much push and pull. and got tired of it. some may like this but it is not for me. not my cup of tea.

nevertheless, the casts are so well-cast! they all have the chemistry in every relation. the packaged of ost is chef's kiss. just ailee and gummy alone, switching them back and forth can make the scene the double triple feel of pain. i can say days garnered a spot on top kdrama album ost. MUSIC 10/10

An okay affair with simple execution

Doom At Your Service started well, with the interaction of two leads, and how things are deemed to happen. The characters were intriguing along with the supporting casts as well.

The story was simple, yet with a little twist, I felt like it being dragged deliberately, just to complete in 16 episodes. I thought that it would have been better if finished within 12 episodes, since at certain moments, the scenes were stretched which were not required.

The last couple of episodes were meh as well, with everything sorted again and concluding towards a happy ending. The best part of this drama was it's OST, which I felt was pretty amazing and melancholic and the lead pair, which I felt were perfectly cast and did justice to the characters of Kim Human and Dong Kyung.


Although Doom At Your Service is neither great nor trash, it had it's highs and lows and is watchable enough for the first time.

My Rating : 6.5/10

I'll start off by saying I'm definitely not a professional critic just a girl saying what's on my mind so do with that what you will.
let's go

So I will say I did thoroughly enjoy it, it was funny and has a good storyline. I put the rewatch value as 1 simply because I don't rewatch shows but I could see people wanting to rewatch it. My only real critic is that close to the end it got a bit slow and I had to force myself to finish it. I loved the whole concept though and I do recommend watching it if you're into the whole "I hate everyone in the world but you" trope. Each to their own though.

Leia Mais

Watchable, for the most part.

I thought this drama was watchable overall. I love Park Bo Young. She is cute beyond words and such a joy to watch. She had good chemistry with her male lead and it had the right amount of humor and angst to keep you watching. At times the plot seemed to slow down and become repetitive. It seemed to meander in parts and some of the writing choices were just silly implausibilities. I mean, who has a conversation in Korean with someone who only answers in English and both completely understand each other? I know the writers wanted some laughs, but that was ridiculous.

Lee Soo Hyun is a cat in human form! Aloof, arrogant, and smooth, he is the epitome of the annoying guy who is handsome and knows it. He isn't someone I would jump to date so I wondered, given the way his character is written, why the object of his affection would be interested in such an arrogant bastard? I never felt his character arc was complete, and he lacked development. He went from being an arrogant bastard to an arrogant bastard in love.

I felt the character who got the shortest end of the stick is Kang Tae Oh's, Lee Hyun Gyu. Aside from helping along Lee Soo Hyun's storyline, there wasn't much for him to do. I think he should get his own spin-off drama where he finds the girl of his dreams. In general, the writing was really the problem here. Why take us on a ride where someone falls in love, misses her guy, only to play games when she gets him back? That was exasperating, as was watching the ML still think he could do superhero stuff when he wasn't just for laughs. Perhaps the drama it didn't want to take itself to seriously , but the comedy seems out of place.

The OST was excellent. I usually never rewatch dramas so I wouldn't recommend a show that can't decide what it is.

Doomed or not ...

Well, as the show itself quotes "Luck and Misery comes with the same face". The same happened to me while watching this drama or maybe some others may agree on this.

Things I got Lucky with:
1. CAST & ACTING - Cast of the show was really amazing to begin with and all the actors did justice to their respective parts. On second note, this show made into my PTW list because of Seo In guk and Park Bo young.
2. OSTs - The music for the show was heartwarming and definitely could heal bleeding wounds.
3. Chemistry between all the cast members was great, of course, overwhelming among leads.
4. Wardrobe - You will surely get to see eye-catching set of clothes.
5. Cinematography - It surely does make the best connect with the outlined storyline
6. Last, thing that got right in this drama was the screen-time of characters. Everyone got enough time to express themselves.
7. Philosophical outcomes of unpredictable life...

Things that bought misery:
1. It became draggy after 7th episode, I skipped through a lot of scenes though I didn't wanted to .. 😔
2. I think the Story lost its essence as it evolved. I think so, because at time I couldn't feel that "Myeol Mang" was really a "Doom" and was someone who could cause disaster. Because of that it happens to be another one of rom-com by the end of the drama, at least for me.
3. Unnecessary repetitive scenes, because of them I almost dozed off.😁
4. Ji Na's story - It could have evolved in better way, as it was one of those things I was looking forward to.

From someone who is about to die, to someone who is death himself story could have developed in way more better than it does now. The characters were really well written, but hoped they could have done same with their stories. I did understand deity's part, because that was all she could do without breaking rules of time.
Story was definitely intriguing and it's presentation from paper to screens was also good but It lost it's lustre half-way down and failed to express itself as it wanted to maybe. ..
If you would ask me is it a completely doomed drama? .... No, definitely not. At least way more better than shows that showcase abusive relationships. NO OFFENCE. Surely, not perfect one but not doomed one either.

Would I rewatch it?...... It is a bit draggy, for 16 eps. Maybe I would rewatch it someday, for Sa Ram and Dong Kyung .
Recommended to those who love to explore different genres and themes like me.😊

P.S.: I'm here to just share my experience, like most of us does. If you want to watch it, .... Do read what others think about it, but surely experience it yourself maybe your opinion contradicts mine.... THAT's LIFE.
