Wachable if you block your ears and only watch with your eyes...

When watching Korean dramas, everyone should be aware that cliches are unavoidable. They have been a part of kdrama industry since forever and it doesn't look like writers will soon give up on them. But it's fine, cliches are fine. What is important is how you use them in the relevant plot. If they're done well there shouldn't be a problem and they wouldn't bother the viewer. Doom at Your Service couldn't do even the cliches properly. You can't do something that has been done hundreds time before...

Morever, fantasy is as far away as possible the best genres kdramas can do. Usually sci/fi and fantasy are a hit or miss and this one is definitely a miss. Why is a miss here specifically? Because they can explain no sh*t properly. And it starts in the beginning, the explanation Myeol Mang did to the female lead about the wish she has, made me hit my head on the table because I felt like I was losing my brain. And then it all fell down. I was already uninterested about her wishes and I already saw that things in this drama will be going nowhere as I expected to be. If you want to make fantasy work, you should use some brain.

The drama has no brain. And it's mainly because of the female lead but since everything revolves around her excistence, her doing stupid things all the time will eventually lead to the whole drama being stupid as hell. The scrpit is at fault here I guess. I hate when a character is doing something for no reason just for the sake of the plot to progress. The whole drama relies on that. And not only her, but the male lead was also doing unreasonable stuff all the time. The drama has such a random plot like things are just happening for them to just happen with no reason. And the finny thing is, the drama is supposed to be philosophical, but all they do is talk a lot while not saying much.

The romance... now, Seo In Guk's kiss scenes are something else. I would recommend the drama just for them. The chemistry between the couple was non-existant, at least for me. I just didn't like the development of their relationship or should I say the lack of one. They just simply--- fell in love. All of their moments felt forced to me.

Myul Mang is a good character on the surface but his potential wasn't fully shown due to sappy writing. Dong Kyung... I don't know, maybe because of her unreasonable actions, I didn't really like her. Park Bo Young is a good actress, but we all know that she has that child-like vibe and she's not suitable for any role.

Overall, while there were some moments I enjoyed, I wouldn't say I liked the drama. It deserves a 6 because of the cast and the fact that for me something below 6 is really bad while Doom is watchable, but it really depends on what you're looking for and your drama taste.
