You are the cause of my Euphoria
This review may contain spoilers
amazing drama but I really wanted a wedding at the end...
Tak Dong-kyung (Park Bo-young), an editor for a web novel company, lives a fairly ordinary life until she stumbles into an unexpected fate. All in a single day, she finds out she is dying from glioblastoma and has only three months to live, learns that her boyfriend is a father-to-be and has a wife, gets scolded by her superior at work, and is spied on by a pervert before the pervert falls into a sinkhole.
Drinking her problems away, she happens to see a shooting star from her rooftop apartment and drunkenly wishes for the world to be doomed. Her wish is heard by Myul Mang (Seo In-guk), a messenger between gods and humans. He was born between dark and light: when he breathes, countries disappear; when he walks, the season's collapse; when he smiles, life is extinguished. All he has to do is exist for something to fall into ruin. This is not his intention but simply his fate. On his birthday, he gets to choose a human’s wish to fulfill. Sick of his fate, he chooses to fulfill Dong-kyung’s wish to end the world.
Dong-kyung ends up signing a hundred-day contract with Myul Mang, risking her everything.
Seo In Guk as Myul Mang
There are a lot of actors we need back on our screens and Seo In Guk is one of them.
In “Doom at your Service” Seo In Guk played the role of the male lead and deity of destruction titled Myul Mang. Fun fact; Myul Mang literally means destruction or doom in Korean.
The drama wastes no time in letting us realize how much power Myul Mang has. In the drama's first scenes, we are shown just how powerful he is, with his favorite acts: manipulation, dream control, and our own personal – He being the reason for every destruction that happens and will ever occur.
This character made its way quickly to my most favorite Korean drama character.
Overall, this was my favorite drama of the year. I know that the majority of people didn’t like the second half of the drama but I loved all of it. The final episode could have given us a wedding or something more but still, that doesn’t change the fact that this drama was everything! I also loved some of the parallels with Goblin. Especially the scene where Muyl Mang disappears (I cried my eyes out).
