How Did I Watch 4 Episodes of This Trash
They're trying so hard to make Song Kang's character into Doom (Seo In Guk) in Doom at Your Service—even down to some of the ambient sound effects... but he really doesn't have convincing "bad boy" vibes. At all. It feels like your friend's cute little brother in a vampire costume trying to convince you he's sooo dark and mysterious.
It feels like this is the "parade-of-eye-candy and familiar-cliches-people-love makes up for lack of quality in writing, dialogue, characters, etc." formula that made King the Land popular.
Everything about the screenplay is just bad and contrived. They (and the scenarios they're put in) tick a lot of stock cliche boxes, but there's not a lot (any?) complexity to grab on to and bring them to life. I've liked Yoo Jung in other things, but she comes off as very wooden in this role.
But, I mean, we get lots of close ups of pretty leads, so that makes up for it right?
All in all, I liked the premise, but high production quality and big names do not guarantee a good drama—but it can make for a popular drama. So, have fun with this! I'm tapping out.
