> Looses the charm at the end but otherwise an pleasant watch

Doom at Your Service starts with In-guk as Myul Mang ; like his other badass characters like in The Smile Left Your Eyes ; and his journey in falling love with Dong Kyung ; who is the only person loves/wishes Doom ; and becoming [spoiler]Kim Sa-Ram [/spoiler].

The story and script is many times confusing when you try to follow the promise and terms b/w Doom and Kyung and more confusing with interference Nyeoshin. At sometime I gave up on embracing the story and just watched it for the two main leads

Another drawback of the show is the pitiful second-love-triangle ; two people who run-away from problems and emotions fall in love with the same girl (first love) and the girl has to choose between [spoiler] first love and first kiss [/spoiler]. At times this felt very boring and uninteresting and I had to skip whenever i see Tae-Oh ; I never liked any of his characters .

In the end baffled by the K-Drama GODs [spoiler] bring in the miracle both cancer is cured and Doom becomes Sa-ram [/spoiler]

Watch it only for Seo In-guk badass acting and Park Bo-young cuteness along with some very very good music.

I've never seen a drama that purposely go out of its way to avoid doing anything interesting with its scenario this hard. It took three full episodes just to do a basic introduction as stated in the synopsis, only then, the story somewhat started. Earlier in the second half, the drama reached a point where things were about to get interesting but it suddenly hard pressed the reset button on everything. The writer was genuinely not even trying, she worked on The Beauty Inside (2018) previously which was decent but what is she even doing here?

Subsequently, themes of death, mortality, grief and fate were poorly injected and remained half-baked. The unusual romance was justified by using a blend of these themes but it didn't make sense or click. Even then, it created a big disconnect when it reached its highest moments. However, it wasn't as bad as the secondary couple romance, which gave us a despicable characterization of the characters Joo Ik, Hyun Gyu and Ji Na. Their relationship didn't fit the story, narrative and themes. It had no thoughts put into it and adding it was a mere useless filler. Even as a standalone independent relationship outside the context of this drama, it failed for a multitude of reasons. At least the character Ji Na served as the FL's friend.
