"Doom At Your Service" - Boring But Not So Bad (ENG/ESP)
English
I love Korean drama a lot but that doesn't mean I don't know when I see one that just wasn't it for me, I didn't think I'll be reviewing a kdrama and emphasize on how much I didn't enjoy it as much I do with other series I've seen. I got the recommendation to see this particular kdrama from a random person I saw seeing it, she went like "It is so interesting, you should see it!" all I could think at that moment was "I must see this drama".
Two main reasons I decided to see the drama aside the recommendation
I'm a huge fan of the lead characters I saw in the drama as I've seen two to three other dramas they've starred in. I was so sure this drama was going to be a hit since it had the both of them in it. It's an honour to have two big stars in one drama so I thought I was definitely going to have fun seeing this movie.
Another reason was the vibe I got from "Shopping King" and "Oh my ghost" kdramas I've seen before I saw this one. The two lead characters starred in them separately but did awesomely well with their roles, I knew I was in for a full package fun in this movie since they were both going to come in with their vibes joined together.
But I was wrong! So wrong but...
Here is my thought after seeing the drama
First of all, the title of the drama is catchy and the story line wasn't so much into what the drama is like so I didn't exactly get the point until I was way into a few episodes (I think it was at episode three). The drama was released in June 2021 and is supposed to be have the genres of Fantasy and romance even though I honestly didn't get it as much of the genres as I had expected it to be.
It started off well, well enough to get me up to episode three to understand what exactly was going on with the amazing characters they were introducing to me. But it took a boring turn for me, or maybe I just wasn't getting what I was expecting as early as I wanted.
A young girl is diagnosed to have a cancer that would take her life in 100days and there's a human/deity who brings doom (death) to people and the two meets in an awkward situation but not the main meet up between a deity and a human. Out of sorrow and feeling of life being unfair to her, the young lady screams out a wish in the middle of the night while she was drinking "She wished for doom to come to the world" and that was it.
The two characters meets again but this time around leaving the young lady in awe of all that was playing around her as it was hard to understand why a human and a handsome one at that was death himself. The whole drama was just about Doom trying to make her wish in a more stable state which later turns into love and then separation then found love again... Boring!!!
But if I'm to give rating to each main characters of the drama...
Myul Mang (Starred by Seo In-guk) is Doom who has a superior (A tiny girl who he meets at a hospital in most of the episodes) the two deity happen to be helping the world but to me, I feel they were just jobless humans who became mysterious and decided to do something with their mystery lol. Well, Myul Mang did an awesome job with his role.
His fashion in the drama is a killer (I noticed every wear he had on through the drama) but I wasn't satisfied with his way of showing his emotions to the female lead character. From my experience seeing his other dramas, he just wasn't the type to act cruel or evil which he tried to do in this particular drama... Not so bad, I'd say!
Tak Dong Kyung (starred by Park Bo-young is one of my favorite female Korean actress and that is because I've seen a lot of her dramas where she slayed so well in her roles but I honestly can't say same for this drama as I think she could have done even better than she did. But one thing I'd love to note was how calmly she took the news of her upcoming early death, not everyone would be calm to hear they are about to die.
Well, her calmness only led her to face death himself and it turned to be a guy she will fall in love with, bear her pain with but lose in the end... It wasn't a sad ending though, you'd have to see the drama to find out yourself lol.
How more boring would it have been without these two supporting characters?
I say it always and I'll still add it here again, supporting characters are my highlights in kdramas. They sure do know how to shine brighter than the main characters, maybe I should give the kudos to the directors of the dramas... They definitely did another great job on this drama with the supporting characters they added.
The two had a weird past during school days, one (the guy) is so intelligent and makes writers go popular while the other (the lady) is a writer struggling with her first love whose memory is what she uses to write all her stories. How they came to find out their true feelings for each other is beautiful and memorable for me unlike the main characters... Too bad right?
My heartbreaking overview of the drama
I wish I could hide my truth about the drama but I really can't, if I'm to rate this drama among the other series I've seen, it will go nowhere near the least drama for me to recommend.
Yes, I expected so much more than what they gave in the drama
You won't blame me, they made me love their strong vibes in the other series I've seen so I just found myself expecting to have a total vibe from this. So here I am feeling like I almost wasted my time seeing the drama (yes, I still had to see it to the end lol).
Another heartbreaking truth I noticed, the main characters didn't have a very good chemistry. It was kinda obvious to me that the female lead was the one in charge of making the love scenes of the drama more lovely and memorable (which wasn't close to the best I've seen in movies).
Spanish
In conclusion, I'll rate the drama 7/10 and that is for the characters, the supporting characters and some little lessons I learnt from seeing it. You can choose to see it as well to find out about all that, not strongly recommended though hehe.
Me encanta mucho el drama coreano, pero eso no significa que no sepa cuรกndo veo uno que simplemente no era para mรญ, no pensรฉ que revisarรญa un kdrama y enfatizarรญa cuรกnto lo hice. No lo disfruto tanto como lo hago con otras series que he visto. Recibรญ la recomendaciรณn para ver este kdrama en particular de una persona al azar que vi viรฉndolo, ella dijo "ยกEs tan interesante, deberรญas verlo!" todo lo que pude pensar en ese momento fue "Debo ver este drama".
Dos razones principales por las que decidรญ ver el drama aparte de la recomendaciรณn
Soy un gran admirador de los personajes principales que vi en el drama, ya que he visto otros dos o tres dramas en los que han protagonizado. Estaba tan seguro de que este drama iba a ser un รฉxito ya que los tenรญa a ambos. en eso. Es un honor tener dos grandes estrellas en un drama, asรญ que pensรฉ que definitivamente me iba a divertir viendo esta pelรญcula.
Otra razรณn fue la vibra que recibรญ de "Shopping King" y "Oh my ghost" kdramas que he visto antes de ver este. Los dos personajes principales los protagonizaron por separado, pero lo hicieron asombrosamente bien con sus papeles. Sabรญa que me esperaba un paquete completo de diversiรณn en esta pelรญcula, ya que ambos iban a entrar con sus vibraciones unidas.
ยกPero estaba equivocado! Muy mal pero...
Este es mi pensamiento despuรฉs de ver el drama
En primer lugar, el tรญtulo del drama es pegadizo y la lรญnea de la historia no se referรญa tanto a cรณmo es el drama, asรญ que no entendรญ exactamente el punto hasta que lleguรฉ a algunos episodios (Creo que fue en episodio tres). El drama se estrenรณ en junio de 2021 y se supone que tiene los gรฉneros de Fantasรญa y romance aunque, sinceramente, no entendรญ tantos gรฉneros como esperaba.
Empezรณ bien, lo suficientemente bien como para llevarme al episodio tres y entender quรฉ estaba pasando exactamente con los increรญbles personajes que me estaban presentando. Pero tomรณ un giro aburrido para mรญ, o tal vez simplemente no estaba obteniendo lo que esperaba tan pronto como querรญa.
A una joven se le diagnostica un cรกncer que le quitarรญa la vida en 100 dรญas y hay un ser humano/deidad que trae la perdiciรณn (muerte) a las personas y los dos se encuentran en una situaciรณn incรณmoda, pero no es el encuentro principal entre una deidad y un ser humano. . Debido al dolor y al sentimiento de que la vida es injusta con ella, la joven grita un deseo en medio de la noche mientras bebe "Ella deseaba que la perdiciรณn viniera al mundo" y eso fue todo.
Los dos personajes se reencuentran, pero esta vez dejando a la joven asombrada por todo lo que estaba jugando a su alrededor, ya que era difรญcil entender por quรฉ un ser humano y guapo era la muerte misma. Todo el drama era sobre Doom tratando de hacer que su deseo se encontrara en un estado mรกs estable que luego se convierte en amor y luego en separaciรณn y luego en encontrar el amor nuevamente... Aburrido!!!
Pero si voy a calificar a cada uno de los personajes principales del drama...
Myul Mang (Protagonizada por Seo In-guk) es Doom que tiene una superior (Una niรฑa pequeรฑa que conoce en un hospital en la mayorรญa de los episodios) las dos deidades estรกn ayudando a los mundo, pero para mรญ, siento que solo eran humanos desempleados que se volvieron misteriosos y decidieron hacer algo con su misterio jajaja. Bueno, Myul Mang hizo un trabajo increรญble con su papel.
Su moda en el drama es asesina (Notรฉ cada desgaste que tenรญa durante el drama) pero no estaba satisfecho con su forma de mostrar sus emociones al personaje principal femenino. Desde mi experiencia al ver sus otros dramas, simplemente no era del tipo que actuaba con crueldad o maldad, lo que tratรณ de hacer en este drama en particular... ยกNo tan malo, dirรญa yo!
Tak Dong Kyung (protagonizada por Park Bo-young es una de mis actrices coreanas favoritas y eso se debe a que he visto muchos de sus dramas en los que se desempeรฑaba tan bien en sus papeles, pero honestamente No puedo decir lo mismo de este drama, ya que creo que podrรญa haberlo hecho incluso mejor de lo que lo hizo. Pero una cosa que me encantarรญa notar fue la calma con la que tomรณ la noticia de su prรณxima muerte prematura, no todos estarรญan tranquilos de escuchar estรกn a punto de morir.
Bueno, su calma solo la llevรณ a enfrentarse a la muerte y resultรณ ser un chico del que se enamorarรก, soportarรก su dolor pero perderรก al final... Sin embargo, no fue un final triste, tendrรญas ver el drama para descubrirte a ti mismo jajaja.
ยฟQuรฉ mรกs aburrido hubiera sido sin estos dos personajes secundarios?
Lo digo siempre y aรบn lo agregarรฉ aquรญ nuevamente, los personajes secundarios son mis aspectos mรกs destacados en kdramas. Seguro que saben cรณmo brillar mรกs que los personajes principales, tal vez deberรญa felicitar a los directores de los dramas... Definitivamente hicieron otro gran trabajo en este drama con los personajes secundarios que agregaron.
Los dos tuvieron un pasado extraรฑo durante la รฉpoca escolar, uno (el chico) es muy inteligente y hace que los escritores se vuelvan populares, mientras que el otro (la dama) es una escritora que lucha con su primer amor, cuyo recuerdo es lo que usa para escribir. todas sus historias. Cรณmo llegaron a descubrir sus verdaderos sentimientos el uno por el otro es hermoso y memorable para mรญ, a diferencia de los personajes principales... Quรฉ lรกstima, ยฟverdad?
Mi descripciรณn desgarradora del drama
Desearรญa poder ocultar mi verdad sobre el drama, pero realmente no puedo, si tengo que calificar este drama entre las otras series que he visto, no se acercarรก al drama mรญnimo para recomendar.
Sรญ, esperaba mucho mรกs de lo que dieron en el drama
No me culparรกs, me hicieron amar sus vibraciones fuertes en las otras series que he visto, asรญ que me encontrรฉ esperando tener una vibra total de esto. Asรญ que aquรญ estoy, sintiendo que casi pierdo el tiempo viendo el drama (sรญ, todavรญa tenรญa que verlo hasta el final jajaja).
Otra verdad desgarradora que notรฉ, los personajes principales no tenรญan muy buena quรญmica. Era un poco obvio para mรญ que la protagonista femenina era la encargada de hacer que las escenas de amor del drama fueran mรกs encantadoras y memorables (lo cual no estuvo cerca de lo mejor que he visto en pelรญculas).
En conclusiรณn, calificarรฉ el drama 7/10 y eso es por los personajes, los personajes secundarios y algunas pequeรฑas lecciones que aprendรญ al verlo. Tambiรฉn puedes elegir verlo para enterarte de todo eso, aunque no es muy recomendable, jeje.
