Sheer perfection
I binged this show over a couple of days, and I feel like it's best to do that. I think maybe if I had watched it live as it aired, it wouldn't have had the same emotional impact.
The characters lived and breathed for me, even Doom, who didn't live or breathe.
This is an epic love story. I believed they were destined to love each other.
If you love supernatural dramas, where you experience incredibly intense emotional responses to the story, this is the drama for you. For me, it ranks up with The Master's Sun and My Love from the Star, in terms of best dramas I've seen, that I could watch over and over again. It's a little better than Goblin and Secret Garden (both of which I enjoyed a lot).
In my opinion, the writers told a beautiful story and they completely nailed the ending. The actors had incredible chemistry across the board, and I loved all of them. That doesn't happen often. Usually, I'm invested in one storyline, and I really don't care that much about the subplots but I cared about EVERYONE in this drama, even minor characters who came and went. I cared. I have loved Seo In Guk since he played the second lead in The Master's Sun, and now I feel it's come full circle, because I believe that Doom is his best performance to date. He was phenomenal in this role, and Park Bo Young was wonderful as well. (Loved her in Oh My Ghostess).
Basically, I can't give higher praise than this. There's nothing I would change about this drama. I've read other reviews who call this boring or wasted potential. I completely disagree. If you're like me, DAYS will join the ranks of dramas that you watch again and again. It's sheer perfection, exactly what I hoped.
