(Doom at Your Service)

(This is a work of fiction)

(All characters, locales, institutions, religions and events)

(are used in an entirely fictitious manner)

It's GBM, glioblastoma multiforme.

It appears to be multicentric, too.

Your symptoms of dizziness and nausea

are all due to this.

We'll need to do a biopsy for more details,

but...

(Episode 1)

it doesn't look good.

I see.

Yes.

So do you do biopsies...

on the weekends, too?

Not on the weekends, sorry.

How long will it take?

At least a week, I'd say?

That won't do.

What do you mean?

Then I can't.

- You mean, the biopsy? - Yes.

I already took some days off work,

so I can't ask for another week.

But that's not what's important here, is it?

I'm not so sure.

Anyway, I can't take a week off.

Then let's not do a biopsy.

With surgery, you have one year.

If not, about three to four months.

But even that one year won't be easy.

You may end up with hemiplegia,

or speech and cognitive impairment.

In fact, even doing a biopsy could be risky.

- Risky? - Yes.

Will I die?

Yes.

I see.

Alright.

(Dr. King of the Dead Writer: Jung Dang-myun)

(Event Proposal)

You'll find all the details of the event in there.

I'll also send a copy via e-mail.

As I told you before,

we do have a deadline that's fixed with our client,

so even if you're busy, we need to have at least

70 episodes delivered to us by early next month, Mr. Jung.

Alright.

I know you're quite busy with your main job,

but there's not many days to go until the event.

So please hang in there.

- Alright, I'll call you. - Sure.

You call me, too.

Sure.

Mr. Jung...

you can do it!

You were awesome today, like a real doctor.

And thanks for squeezing me for an MRI, too.

Well, that's because...

(Jung Seung-joon, Neurologist)

I am a real doctor. (Jung Seung-joon, Neurologist)

Then...

Ms. Tak?

Hang in there.

Yes, thanks!

We have an announcement...

Glioblastoma.

Glioblastoma...

Gosh, he's so...

I know I'm handsome, but sorry. I'm a little busy.

We have an emergency situation!

We have an emergency patient!

Hurry up. Hurry!

- Call 911 right now! - Hurry!

Five, four, three, two...

one.

- Coming through! - Out of my way!

Move!

This way.

Move out of the way, please!

Move!

Let's hurry and go!

Please move!

(Midday Stabbing Rampage in Gusin-dong 5-way Intersection)

What's going on? There's a whole group!

Was there an accident, perhaps?

Around 2:30 pm. this afternoon,

a man went on a stabbing rampage

in downtown Seoul, injuring a total of seven

who tried to stop him.

All those who were injured were immediately rushed to...

(Midday Stabbing Rampage in Gusin-dong 5-way Intersection)

Oh, my goodness.

That's terrible!

That's just crazy.

Are you ready to pay?

Ah, yes.

(Outpatient Medical Bill)

(Outstanding: $686.20)

- This is crazy! - Pardon?

Huh? Oh, it's nothing.

Can I pay in installments?

How many months will it be?

With surgery, you have one year.

If not, about three to four months.

- Three months, please. - Sure.

Get bed number one ready!

Please wake up!

- Please follow as I push. - Keep pushing!

- Please hurry! - Please move!

- He is an emergency patient! - This way.

They're in danger! Hurry!

His abdominal wound is deep.

With severe hemorrhage, too. Sir, can you hear me?

- His BP is dropping. - Not quite there.

- Another patient! - This way.

Here he is.

Alright. One, two, three!

This is the assailant.

He attempted suicide at the scene,

and the police are on their way.

I'm sorry, but which department...

Draw the curtains around his bed,

and don't let anyone in except for the police.

Yes, doctor.

It's okay, just leave him.

Huh? But...

He won't die.

Sure.

Where do you think you're going?

Open your eyes.

I've been waiting for you. Why did you show up late,

like you're the protagonist?

You think you've become something, don't you?

Well, it's me who's become something, and you're nothing.

A better analogy would be that

you parked your car like crap in my designated spot!

That's why I feel like crap, too.

So move your car!

In case you didn't know,

but doom isn't your authority, but mine.

Because you abused what's rightfully mine,

I'm thinking I should do the same.

Let me take back the doom I bestowed upon you.

Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll be back to return it.

And you'll probably be waiting desperately for that day.

Since now you're about to find out

what can be more terrible than doom itself.

Life.

Police.

So beautiful.

Oh, hello.

Should you even be greeting me?

Why couldn't you get changed first?

I wore this to show you this. Why?

What kind of a god runs the world so recklessly?

Are you bored being at the hospital?

Why don't you come down sick and tell me?

There you go again, pretending to be pitiful.

Like I told you, I'm only a gardener.

I sow seeds, water them, and wait for them to grow.

That's all there is to it.

So you're not responsible?

Some of them don’t even sprout,

and others need a little more time.

Some blossom, only to wither quickly,

and some serve as medicine while others as poison.

And some kill all those that are around them.

So is it really my fault?

Then pluck them out and pick and choose.

Give more affection to those that deserve it.

The garden doesn't belong to the gardener.

Then what about me?

What am I in that garden of yours?

You're the butterfly,

for the flowers in my garden.

Until when?

Forever.

You're so cruel.

And I'm the birthday man today, you know.

Birthday? Man?

Were you ever born

as a man?

Go.

Go and become somebody's hope.

Today's the only day where you're allowed to do that.

So even my birthday isn't for me?

It's for the humans.

Damn those flowers.

It's almost time for them to wilt.

Your bus will be arriving shortly.

(Glioblastoma)

(Glioblastoma)

(Boyfriend)

Hey.

You busy?

No, I'm out at the moment. For a meeting with a writer.

Really? Then can I see you now for a second?

Now?

Yes, it's a little urgent, so right now.

Is something up?

First just come, and we'll talk. Alright?

- To our usual place. Alright? - Hello...

What was that?

She just poured water on her!

As you can see, because of my condition,

that's all I could manage for now.

Could you...

explain this?

It's you who should be doing the explaining.

You're the one who had an affair with my husband,

so why are you demanding an explanation from me, his wife?

Do they do that in the soap operas, too?

Oh, so this is that kind of stuff.

I see.

You just explained it to me in one shot.

So I heard this is where you two first met.

Did you do your research?

- Like go over his call history? - You think I didn't?

Then you would know how he never called me or

took my calls on the weekends and on weekday nights.

Including his excuses of, "My phone was dead,"

"I had it on silent," "I was working,"

every time I couldn't reach him.

It's always bothered me, you see.

I thought it was strange. And...

this explains it all.

Are you trying to tell me

you didn't know he was married?

No, I didn't know.

You didn't know, when you've been seeing him for three months?

Like I'd believe that!

You didn't know for three months, either,

- that your husband was cheating. - Hey!

So you're telling me you're not at fault, are you?

Is that what you're saying?

- I guess so, yes. - "I guess so, yes?"

- Why you... - Who should I pour water on?

At least you can take it out on me,

but I can't do that to you, can I?

That damned bastard's to blame, so what about me?

Who are you venting you troubles to?

Right.

I shouldn't be saying this to you.

So just...

blame me.

- What? - Just put it this way,

that your kind, naive husband fell for a damned witch like me

and almost ruined everything.

And may you live happily for another 10, 50 years

with that bastard for a long, long time.

I think that might be the best

to your unborn child, too.

Are you alright?

- Oh, no. - Are you alright?

Shouldn't you go see a doctor?

Are you alright?

Taxi! Taxi! Here!

Careful.

Hold on. Careful, careful!

Careful, careful, careful.

Sir, to the nearest ob-gyn clinic, please.

She'll be fine.

This can happen if she's under stress.

- But it's nothing to worry about. - I see.

Are you her guardian?

No.

We just got to know each other... through someone, I'd say?

Do you know her guardian's contact information?

Yes.

(Boyfriend)

Then could you fill this out for me?

(Name: Jo Dae-han)

(Phone number)

(Relationship to the Patient)

(Relationship to the Patient)

(Husband)

We're not done yet.

After you get better. Then we'll talk.

It's always bothered me, too.

I thought his excuses didn't add up.

Still, I wanted to blame you.

I thought I could really blame you for it, then.

What I said before...

about blaming me. I meant it.

Go on and blame me, because...

I'll be dead in three months.

I wondered who I'll end up breaking the news first to,

and little did I know

it would be someone like you in this kind of a situation.

But then again,

I didn't know that I'm going to die, either.

Are you serious?

What I said before and

what I'm telling you now are all true.

So...

So don’t worry about me.

And...

please do live happily ever after.

So I'm really dying.

Hey!

Do you work for fun?

It's been ages since you went out for a meeting with a writer.

How come you're only crawling back here now?

Why didn't you just go home straight?

- I'm sorry. - Is that all you've got to say?

I'm sorry, sir.

Is this your way of rebelling?

Just quit. Just quit, will you?

Man, it's so easy to earn a living these days.

The young generation these days...

I wasn't feeling well,

so Mr. Jung suggested I get an MRI while I was there.

I'm sorry.

See, this is why I'm hesitant about hiring women.

They're always getting sick!

A broken machine, they are.

At least I can take machines for a repair.

Geez, it's not like I can have you repaired, can I?

Well, I'm suffering, too! From rhinitis and a herniated disc.

I'm dying too, okay?

Gosh.

(After a Breakup: Best Stories)

(Today's Adulteress at a Cafe near Gangnam Station)

- As you can see, because of... - Oh what?

- that's all I could manage for now. - Ms. Tak.

- Isn't this you? - Could you...

- Pardon? - explain this?

(Today's Adulteress at a Cafe near Gangnam Station)

It's you who should be doing the explaining.

You're the one who had an affair with my husband,

so why are you demanding an explanation from me, his wife?

Do they do that in the soap operas, too?

That's not me.

You didn't know, when you've been seeing him for three months?

I think that's you. Look at her clothes, too!

That's so you!

You didn't know for three months, either,

- that your husband was cheating. - Hey!

It's not me.

Did you hear that?

That voice is totally...

Who should I pour water on?

Hey!

- What the heck are you doing? - If that is me,

then what? What?

Did you just yell at me?

You think I'm a pushover, don't you?

- Huh? - Of course. Even I think so, too.

What's up with everyone today?

I'm taking the day off.

I am, okay?

It's not like I had plenty of leave to start with,

but I just have to, today!

Hey, you…

She, uh...

But this is her!

She says it's not, so I'm sure it isn't.

Really? No?

Is something wrong with my eyes, then?

All the leaves will be gone after one rainy day.

The autumn's too short.

Soon it'll be too cold to have ice cream outside.

(Today's Adulteress at a Cafe near Gangnam Station)

I'm flabbergasted by how brazen she is.

A witch like her should be struck by lightning!

I hope she gets sick and dies, my heart's with the wife.

They should lock up evil witches like her!

So much interest to pay for a three-month romance.

(Content Share: Yoo-jin's Phone)

(Accept)

The guy in blue's secretly filming you. Watch out.

Hey.

Filming something?

What?

You want to upload it online, too?

Dream on! As if you have anything to look at.

What was that?

Hey, stop right there!

What the heck? Why are you following me? Out of the way!

- Stop right there! Hey! - What the hell?

My gosh. Goodness.

Hey!

Ugh, damn it!

I need to get that bastard, at least!

Hey!

Hey, stop right there!

Are you crazy? Why would I?

Hey!

Somebody, catch him!

Hey!

Whoa.

- Oh, wow. - Someone must've fell.

Someone fell into the sink hole.

Is that a sink hole?

Ugh, my leg...

Just lost my appetite for a smoke.

- Are you alright? - Are you alright, mister?

Hey, look. He's alive.

- Are you hurt? - Oh gosh.

You're the butterfly,

for the flowers in my garden.

Why is it so messy?

Were you ever born

as a man?

Just what are humans, anyway?

For the humans.

What's so grand about such lowly, transient existences?

It's raining.

- It's raining! - But the forecast...

I'm the only one without one?

Wow.

Dear God...

(Brother)

What?

Sis, could you spare me just $500?

- What? - I'm here in Jeju with my friends,

- and I had a fender-bender. - Hey!

I told them we should go for full insurance,

but Sang-geun insisted that we'd be fine.

I really should've been picky about my friends.

Fortunately though, I'm not hurt.

I have great reflexes!

Tak Seon-kyung.

I'll pay you back next month!

- So can you, or no? - I'm going to kill you!

Why are you getting angry?

Hey, I called you because I'm this desperate.

Hey.

Do you have to do this today?

Don't you know what day it is today?

Today? Is it Wednesday?

Or is it Thursday?

It's the anniversary of mom and dad's passing.

Whoa, already?

Man, I was serving my military duty just a year ago.

Time sure flies.

Get off the phone, you bastard!

Sis!

Holding my tears back

has been a long habit of mine.

At the age of ten, I learned how to hold my tears back.

But where did all those tears I swallowed back,

instead of letting them flow, go to?

Your rice is now being cooked.

Now I think I know.

Still, they're family, so we should take them in.

Then will you?

It's not easy raising children who are not your own.

Right.

They'll know that they're not all that welcome too,

so maybe it's better that they go to an orphanage…

The kids will hear us!

The tears I held back since that day

eventually formed a pool inside my head.

Hey, Auntie.

Today's the anniversary of your mother and father's death, right?

Did you buy it?

The cake?

Yes. I bet people think we're crazy. Honestly!

Hey, if the entire family gets together, then it's a party.

It'd be crazier to just sit in misery, wouldn't it?

Not all the family is here.

Seon-kyung's in Jeju Island.

That boy!

Why would he go to Jeju Island on his own?

You're not there, neither am I.

I guess he doesn't need us.

Anyway, Auntie. Don't you ever give him money!

Why? Did he cause trouble again?

That little brat! I ought to teach him a lesson!

How will you, from Canada?

Canada's damn cold.

Why did I get myself into this for love

at this age?

Sounds like you're doing well,

seeing how you still go on about love.

How's work?

And your health?

Oh, work? Work's going great.

I'm perfectly healthy, too.

Except for random colds then and now.

I'm glad to hear that.

All I hope for these days is for life to continue on like this.

Really?

You and Seon-kyung have been through so much,

that I'm starting to think your parents are finally

doing some work in heaven.

Now all I can wish for is to see Seon-kyung settle down.

Oh, Kevin's off to work.

I'll call you again, Dong-kyung.

Eat all your meals,

and call me if something happens.

Sure, don't worry.

Say hello to Uncle Kevin for me.

Bye.

I'm dying.

When I die…

is it going to hurt?

I'll explain everything later.

To hell with this world!

To hell with everything!

Bring doom to this world!

- Please let me win the lottery. - I want Mom to be happy…

Please let me shed just 80 kg, please!

To hell with this world!

- Please let me lose weight. - I want my family to be happy.

To hell with everything!

Bring doom to this world!

Now here's a wish that reeks of alcohol.

(Makgeolli)

Oh what? What time do they think this is?

(Tuesday, November 24 3:33 a.m.)

Ugh.

Ugh, please!

Ugh...

Hello.

I played a little prank so you'd open up faster.

What?

The images of Switzerland and Italy, you know.

Gosh, he's so...

Yes, I know I'm handsome.

So why are you...

Because you called for me.

What?

Me?

Yes, you were calling for me.

But who are you?

Doom.

You took some time to open your door, so I thought your house

- would be bigger. - Excuse me!

What are you doing? Come take a seat.

But this is my house!

Yes, make yourself comfortable.

A memorial ritual altar?

But today's my birthday.

Oh, really? Well…

Happy Birthday.

It's the first time anyone has wished me happy birthday.

Don’t sweat it.

It'll be all over soon.

- As long as you say please. - Huh?

- What do you mean? - You asked for the apocalypse.

Bring doom to this world!

You were listening?

You knew where I live?

You were lurking around here?

Nope, I'm busy.

Who are you?

What is it that you want?

Is it cake?

You have no time for this. You'll be dead soon.

In 100 days, exactly.

Um, uh...

are you, perhaps...

from the hospital?

You think doctors are capable of doing that?

Probably not, I guess.

My birthday doesn't come around so often.

It comes around every century, after the fall of a civilization.

So make your wish before it's too late.

I didn't know this was a symptom of glioblastoma.

- What? - Hallucinations! Whoa.

I guess you need more time.

But then again, I guess all this is surreal.

What?

But don't worry, my birthday isn't over yet.

Catch you later!

Is this a dream?

You wish.

Oh, no way…

My gosh.

Oh, I don't know.

She's taking some time.

What the heck? Where am I?

My place.

Sit down, and make yourself comfortable.

Did you just...

abduct me?

I guess it's something like that.

Or to be more precise,

I'm trespassing on your dream without your permission.

Dream?

So this is a dream?

Wow!

Whoa!

What the…

- Is this real? - Even though this is a dream,

that's no manners for a guest.

Same for you!

By the way, this has been bugging me,

but where are your honorifics?

- You talked casually to me first. - I did?

"Bring doom," you said.

So I thought you wanted us to talk casually.

That wasn't meant for you.

Then who was it meant for?

When I'm Doom.

So you're saying, this is all a dream?

What the...

Where's the door?

I want to go home.

I guess you didn't really like it here.

Wow.

I know you wanted this.

This is for the cake.

So you're saying...

you're doom?

I'm somewhat responsible for all kinds of endings.

Then just bring yourself upon the world.

Why are you doing this to me?

You think I never tried to?

I couldn't.

A mere will of a program wasn't enough, maybe.

What are you...

Or to put it differently, you have the power over me.

That's how Mother Nature designed the system.

But I thought perhaps it may be different this time.

Since it's the will of a human being.

But why me, of all people?

Because you were the only one

who wished for what you did, just as the star was dying.

Then if you don't grant my wish,

will that be the end of you or something?

That's how it is in the fantasy novels.

You wish.

This is just an event.

"O Doom,

may you be someone's hope on the day you are born."

Oh.

Is this a nightmare?

You mean your life is a nightmare.

What?

Huh?

Too bad, it's time for you to wake up.

What?

It was a dream.

Just a dream.

Yes, this must be a dream.

Gosh!

A dream!

That psycho, is he an American? Wearing his shoes indoors...

How about no pain?

You won't be in pain while you are dying.

How does that sound?

One roll of kimbap, please.

Fine, then.

I'll grant one of your real wishes, too.

Not the one that reeked of alcohol,

but the one you genuinely wish for.

But no more.

Don't listen to the psycho.

Don't listen to him.

What, does everyone take the subway to work?

I wish it was empty.

Next stop is...

See? I know you wanted it.

You...

The doors are on your right.

Please watch your step.

I'm sick.

Yes, I really must be sick.

Ms. Tak.

Thanks to the cafe owner on the first floor,

I've delayed quitting work for another day.

Ms. Jo, about yesterday...

CEO isn't coming into work today.

I bet he rushed off beg for his girlfriend's mercy again.

- What? - He was so hysterical yesterday

that we suspected he had another fight with his girlfriend.

Then Da-in heard him on the rooftop.

It was quite a scene, apparently.

Can't he keep his private life private, like a man?

Thanks for the coffee.

Sure, drink up,

and don't say you'll quit out of anger and shame, alright?

If you leave, we'll all suffer. You know it too, right?

Hey, why won't you answer me?

Ms. Tak,

the writer, Siberia, is in the meeting room now.

Already?

But it's not even time for the meeting yet.

Writers are always so self-centered.

So where is he?

He's inside.

There you go.

Are you a stalker, or an American? Choose one, at least.

Why leave out the kimbap seller and doctor?

What on earth did you do

for them to act all bewitched like that?

They're not just acting bewitched, they are bewitched.

This is insane!

Or have I gone insane?

You haven't lost your sanity.

That Siberia or whatever got a little lost on his way.

I needed some time.

How did you know?

Because I'm the one who got him lost, that's why.

No, I mean about what I was just thinking.

Oh, you're a little dense, aren't you?

Are you perhaps...

I'm really curious.

You hate your CEO and this place too,

so why do you work here?

Should I make your CEO disappear for you?

I can do that if you wish for it.

Don't read my mind!

Rather than read, it's more close to hearing it.

Well, don't listen!

Then accept my offer.

Because I can't hear the thoughts of

those who exchange promises with me.

Get out.

I'll step out, then!

I'm off for a meeting with writer Lee Hyun.

Thank you for the coffee!

Hey!

Sorry, I just got up.

I know you're on your way, so why did you call?

I'm about to go crazy here!

Why? Did your CEO lash out at you again?

Well, the doctor... I mean, the American...

No, I mean the psycho... no, I mean the kimbap...

- Where do I even begin? - Huh?

("Come, Doomsday, Come!" by Rowell)

Actually... let's talk once I get there.

Being given months to live had changed nothing.

What isn't visible to the eye can't scare us.

Both death and doom

only become real when it does become visible.

And pain is reality.

Oh, what?

Answer me. Who's playing a prank on my life?

Excuse me!

So God is on my side, after all.

Choose. Will you die here,

or take my hand?

My answer...

Is me.

That is how I took Doom's hand.

(Doom at Your Service)

You told me to become the hope for humans.

Turns out this human was hoping for doomsday.

Why me?

Of all people... why me?

It's fate.

Smile.

Why are you acting all kind, all of a sudden?

Let go of me!

Leave this to me, babe. You go inside and eat.

Should I see you tomorrow? And come pick you up, too?

- What's with you? - I'm telling to seize it.

What, you?

The fate that's come to your door.
