Over-the-top (OTT) video streaming service Viu has revealed another Viu Original after launching a new Korean drama.
“Doom at Your Service,” its second Korean Viu Original, premiered on May 10 starring actress Park Bo-young and actor-singer Seo In-guk.
The drama tells the story of Dong Kyung (Park Bo-young), a web novel editor diagnosed with brain cancer, who unintentionally summons Myul Mang (Seo In-guk), a messenger between humans and gods to appear. When he unexpectedly offers to grant her wishes, she makes a contract with him for a hundred days to live as she wants, risking everything in the process.
After “Doom at Your Service,” Viu will release its next Viu Original from Korea, “Hong Cheon Gi,” a romantic fantasy period drama set to premiere exclusively on the OTT platform in the third quarter of the year.
