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.
