Why You Should Avoid Doom At Your Service - Review

-


Was surprised to see Strong girl Do Bong soon as the FL here. Male lead looks "tasty" as Doom.


Dong Kyung works at a webtoon publishing company as an editor. She is diagnosed with a terminal illness. As her day goes on horribly she sees a meteor shower and wishes Doom fall on Earth and It comes to an end. This falls in the ears of Doom himself. What happens next forms the rest of the story.

Doom is fed up being evil and wants out. Whether he gets a chance to do that we'll have to see to find out.

The way Myul mung calls Dong Kyung yobo or jaagi is so cute and funny.

The story progresses very slowly, the other Deity is highly irritating. I don't understand why she needs to make statements like these. I mean what the hELL!

And what kind of deity lives in a hospital as a patient? Is there any backstory to this? In India we do I not have any legends of such deities who will suffer for the sins man commits. Humans suffer or rather reap the benefits of their actions - Karma works on the one who does it, there is no one else who suffers because of that. I somehow could not connect to this aspect. Whatever it was, it did not add any positive to the already sloppy script.

About the other characters:
I don't understand why Cha Joo Ik is so stiff and expressionless. I have seen him in Tomorrow but in this one he is very pale and wooden face.
Hyun - He is such an irritating and indecisive character, selfish to the core
Na Ji Na - I wish she can make a decision for herself.

Every episode seems stagnant, it pretty much is just where it started even at episode 7. By episode 10, you will find yourself in a vicious cycle - the story just goes around in circles, does not move forward even one bit.

The chemistry between Myul Mung and Dong Kyung is great and that is what keeps us "motivated" to watch but after a point, it is tiring and doesn't even follow the regular trope.

After hopping, skipping, and jumping, finally I reached the last episode. Only in this episode do you feel mildly human and relieved that the story is getting over. What a waste of time!

May I Help You - Heartwarming Kdrama Series - Hyeri Is The Best - Review

-

This series is yet another heartwarming one from Hyeri. I love how she chooses her scripts. I watched it purely for her. Warning - this one covers death, bereavement, and funerals so if you will get triggered pls exercise caution. Hyeri or Dong baek lands a job as a funeral director and discovers that she has a special power - the dead talk to her just before they depart to the other world - she is able to get to know their final wishes and she has to do it, if she doesn't, she keeps getting hurt, involved in small accidents that remind her of her duty. She runs away after she meets the first "spirit", a little boy. But after all those reminders, she comes back to her job only to be shunned by her boyfriend (namchin) and other people around her just because she touches dead bodies and they deem it unlucky. Hyeri continues working in the job inspite of her father forbidding her from doing it. So she moves to a rented place owned by Vincent who runs an errand startup, A Dim...

The Veil - Underrated Action Thriller KDrama - Review

I had finished One dollar lawyer - a feel-good, funny, and warm legal series and was impressed by Namkoong Min's acting. The way he smiled, frowned, laughed, and walked, so like all fangirls, I googled him, and wow. The wonder of wonders, he is a multi-talented personality! 2021's The Veil came up in the search and when I read the reviews I had to watch it. Trigger warning - this series has a lot (I mean a lottt) of blood, violence, and gore, so please use your discretion to watch. The opening scene itself turned my insides so much that I decided to drop the series. Watched a little bit of Little Women again and then came back to this series once again. Every episode in this series has a mind-blowing beginning and closing scenes. When you think, oh god this must be it for Namkoong Min, he just surprises you, my goodness, out of this world experience, you are left with your mouth open - like what just hit me! Every single episode is packed with action, I thought Again My Life ...

Alchemy of Souls S1&S2 - Must Must Watch - Review!

-

Well, one of the best series of 2022 - lots of magic and action. It took me a while, at least till episode 4 of S1 to understand who each of the names corresponded to, what alchemy of souls meant, why someone does it, what or who mages are, and all that jazz. Till the 4th episode, things go slow but once you start understanding things, there's no looking back. Jang Uk played by Lee Jae-wook is fantastic, he is the black sheep in the family and has no powers or skills but with the help of his maid Mu Deok-i, he goes on a quick learner mode and picks up most of the skills that take years to master. He is also lucky in many ways and seems like the stars are aligning to help him out. Loved the chemistry between all the stars, Mu Deok-i played by Jung So-min whom I first saw in Because It Is My First Life, is pretty and smart as ever. The story gets interesting and intriguing with each episode. We get to understand why Jang Uk was not taught anything and why he did not develop any skill...
