Doom was one of the first k dramas I watched and I've seen it all the way through multiple times now. There's something about the chemistry and dynamic between the two leads that keeps me coming back.

I think it's one of the better dramas that builds and builds the tension between the leads and honestly it did a great job building tension for the b plot romance as well.

I actually really enjoyed the fantasy aspect of it and the fact we get to have our happy ending.

I'm one of those watchers who enjoys the brooding male lead so this one really did it for me. And the game the female lead plays with him is very satisfying in my opinion.

I am addicted to this drama from start to finish. There are NO skips and that's a rare for me. Every episode engrosses you further into the story and there isn't one scene that is dull. The plot was very interesting. The leads had amazing chemistry. They looked so natural as a couple and overflowed with chem right from the very beginning even when they were on rough terms with each other. It's really beautiful and heart warming to see how their relationship develops and how they find comfort in each other amongst all the pain they are put through. :((( You can rly see how their walls just crumble when their around each other and the actors have done an excellent job of portraying the complex feelings of their characters. I feel like there is clear antagonist in this drama, it's just how fate brought them together but is also what will stand between them. Seeing how their love develops into a both danger as well as saving element for them is really beautiful as well. Rather than pinning the blame of their mishappenings on one particular being, the drama successfully emphasizes how evil/darkness is just the way it is and the only thing we can possibly do is find our light within it (ie myul mang and dong kyung for each other in this case) I am very captivated and mesmerized by this drama so i really hope it receives the appreciation it deserves.

This drama is different as it has a essence of poem. All the actors are great and experienced. Seo in-guk and Park bo young are the best couple so far. The story have great twists and turns. Waiting for remaining 4 episodes.

This drama is non-conventional in many ways. The drama starts right away with dark concepts - death, doom, and destruction. Succeeding episodes explore how the two main characters experience their world given their nature/situation. Both characters seem to be hopeless, but are trying to endure their fate. Myul Mang as Doom is a lonely being, his existence a bane to humankind. Orphan Tak Dong Kyung is dying but has no one to comfort her. Their meeting, and the contract they forged, changes their lives but also brings many conflicts. They push and pull because their nature/situation makes loving each other difficult, if not impossible. The push and pull makes the story circular and if you are the type of viewer who prefers a linear story with many exciting twists, you will find this story boring. This drama feels like musings of the writer about living, loving, dying, farewells, and other existential concepts. There are so many quotable quotes. There are numerous nuggets of wisdom in the dialogue of the main characters. So many symbolisms too in the drama. The meat in the drama is not in the events that transpire (there are not many) but in the little details - the contrast in their homes, the characters' thoughts, the location of the scenes, the props, dialogues, etc. If you want a drama that will allow you to escape the dreariness of your daily life and bring you to a world of giggles and marshmallows on a campfire, this is not for you. This drama will make you question the meaning of your existence when everything around you is temporary anyway and only death, doom, and destruction are certain. What is the point of loving and living when we all die anyway and in the end, nothing is really within our control? The story also makes you wonder if we are all just puppets whose fates depend on the whim of the gods. There is a feeling of hopelessness and despair that the drama gives. TDK is dying and of course, the god of doom can't save her. God is playing games on the couple and there is no indication that she is helping them. God, herself, is physically ill. What hope is there in the world when God is sick? MM continues to love TDK despite of her impending death, of repercussions to him and the world, and of his nature. He does not give up. He convinces her to stay with him in her last days. He is willing to risk everything for her. This love that is so difficult and so new to him has brought color to his world. For the first time, he is able to experience what he has longed for - to somehow be able to live and love in ways that human beings do. There is now meaning in his existence.

So I guess there is hope in the universe. Despite death, doom, and destruction, life can be meaningful and love is worth fighting for. As MM said, a bit of hope is still hope. Even if we are only able to love for a short period of time, that is still worthwhile. Even if we die anytime, life is still worth living.

This is the first drama that I watched while it was still on going, I started when it was just 4 episodes and I was immediately in love with this drama 😭 Seo In-guk and Park Bo-young's chemistry is so perfect, they are so cute on-screen and off-screen, go watch their behind the scene if you haven't. The storyline may be kind of repetitive, but I don't think it's a bad repetitive, it just shows how 'fate' or 'destiny' works, and you cannot avoid it no matter what you try. That's the point of the whole story. This drama taught us about how important life, our time, family, and friends can be when our time is almost up. It taught us that destiny cannot be avoided and you will always meet the fate that has been destined to you. If you watch this drama from that point of view, this drama is actually very good. People tend to say this drama is boring because they didn't see this drama that way. This drama is full of beautiful quotes, and as a literature student, I'm loving it lol.
