Plot: Upon finding out that she has 100 days to live, Dong Kyung makes a wish for the end of the world to Doom who wants her to redeem it by the time she dies. If she refuses to, he will kill off the person she loves most. **Either way she dies**

Remember the last line. Because the writers didn’t.

The person Dong Kyung most wants to protect is her younger brother. If she were to adhere to her wish her brother would die too after she’s gone. In a drunken stupor, upset and bitter about the injustice of her life gone to cancerous hell, she makes this destructive wish without having thought about the consequences of her words. Doom doesn’t care about any of that. She made a wish. He’ll fulfill it for her. She just need to reaffirm the wish again. So in another “brainflash” she decides she’ll fall in love with Doom and not wish the world to hell and both she and Doom will be the only ones who’ll die in the end. At this point, the whole story becomes very, VERY predictable.

It's obvious that she’ll regret it and try to save him from dying because she loves him. It’s obvious that they’ll fall in love (although how a non-living entity and embodiment of destruction can even feel any emotion is anyone’s guess). It’s obvious that nobody dies. What’s not obvious is how badly this is carried out.

There is absolutely no chemistry at all between the male and female protags. They just keep saying they love each other and that’s meant to be it. No work done. No bonding effort made. Nothing. The whole quasi explanation from the “mother of all life” character just added in a WTF element to it and partway through, when the writers instill a time loop arc, as in the characters lose their memory and repeat the whole meeting and falling in love again, you KNOW the writers have literally lost the plot and don’t know what to do anymore but to fill in time with more time wasters. Seo In Guk, as Doom, looks so bored the whole time I can’t make out what he’s feeling exactly when he says this or that, which adds to the whole Doom persona but viewers can’t help but wonder if the actor is actually bored… (he probably is. Go watch him in Café Minamdang where he’s able to show off more of his acting range. Poor dude’s talents got underused in this series.)

The second story that’s meant to help move things alongside the primary arc is a raised eyebrow plot. Girl falls in love with a stranger who kisses her while passing an umbrella to her. Erm, no. Maybe look up ‘consent’, South Korean studio execs. Strange men who kiss women are usually considered in criminal legislations or cases rather than the beginnings of a romance. Plus, it’s obvious Lee Hyun Gyu was only interested in Na Ji Na insofar as to compete with his older brother. Whenever his older brother is in the picture with Na Ji Na, Hyun Gyu ups his game with Ji Na and suddenly finds the courage to be meet her and tells her how he feels. How convenient. Methinks he should have a relationship with his brother instead, esp since his older brother says he’s his favourite person anyway.

Watched this coz it was the series that jumpstarted the careers of some actors I liked but will not watch again. Disappointing story. Rubbish and non-existent romance. Nonsense ending. Not recommended. Only watched till the end coz I usually like to watch shows that showcases professions and the look into a publishing company was interesting but it was too brief.

Funniest things were watching Doom wait at the traffic light for it to turn green when episodes before he was able to stop time and just walk across the road. Also, when watching the "mother of life" char become better and have a good time in her school and school uniform, with friends waiting for her, I thought, "she thinks it's great because she's not getting bullied" then remembered she was in The Glory... so I guess life's not that great after all! Just like this show!
