Ever since her parents passed away, Tak Dong-kyung has been working hard as a web novel editor to take care of herself and her younger brother. Her life takes a turn for the worse when first, she is forced to end her [[AccidentalAdultery relationship with a man she didn't know was married]] and right afterward, [[DoomedProtagonist she suddenly gets diagnosed with brain cancer]]. In a bout of rage she shouts her wish to curse everything to disappear to the skies, which has completely unexpected consequences: A mysterious character who calls himself Myeol Mang (destruction, ruin, or, as the Viki subtitles translate it, ''[[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast doom]]'') knocks on her door. Doom is exactly what his name implies - [[AnthropomorphicPersonification a personification]] [[ApocalypseHow of the concept of things ending bad]]-, and he says that he can grant her wishes. As her last hope, [[BargainWithHeaven Tak Dong-kyung makes a contract]] [[DealWithTheDevil with Myeol Mang]] that will last a hundred days to live how she wants, risking her everything.

* AppearanceIsInTheEyeOfTheBeholder: Dong-kyung is the only one who sees Doom as Seo In-guk, and remember him. He appears differently to everyone who sees him. This has led to the hospital he often visits being rumored to be haunted by a "ghost".



* EasyImpersonation: One of Doom's powers. He impersonates Dong-kyung's CEO for a while so he can keep watching her. Even though he still looks like himself while doing it, her teammates notice nothing wrong. He also regularly impersonates a doctor at the hospital Dong-kyung goes to. Very much played for laughs.

* FreudianSlip: For purposes of convenience, Dong-kyung gives Doom the human name "Sa Ram", which simply means "person". She notes that it sounds very similar to "sarang" - love.
