Doom at Your Service

This review could be laden with my theories as I try to figure out the theology of this series. It was so fractured that I couldn’t piece together the internal logic of how the spiritual world and the human world interacted. I think about life theologically, so my discomfort with this might not affect most people’s enjoyment of this series, but, for me, the disconnect foiled both the mystery and the plot. The last few episodes pulled together a few clues (more like breadcrumbs) about the supernatural forces behind the story, but it was too little, too late. If there has been clearer world building, I would have given the series a higher rating. The acting is very good. There are some gorgeous location shots. The casting was solid. I give this series a high 7 (good) out of 10.

Rated this one 10/10 initially, as I was hooked from the very start, and don't I love me some Seo In-guk? I sure do! Having Lee Soo-hyuk and Shin Do-hyun as part of the cast is a huge plus- loved their characters, and to be perfectly honest, I'd love seeing Soo-hyuk's beautiful face even if he were playing a statue. I did not exactly like Kang Tae-oh's character, but I enjoyed his acting, and will surely watch his future dramas too. Can't really say why my rating changed to 8/10 by the end of the show: perhaps I took a bit too long of a break before watching the last two episodes, but some of the charm was lost for me near the end. Comparing Doom to some other shows I've seen in the meantime could have something to do with it too. Overall, this was a fun watch, though I could have done without some repetitious and unnecessary scenes.
