In the first two episodes of Doom At Your Service, viewers meet Tak Dong Kyung (Park Bo Young), a web novel editor who is told that she has cancer and has just a few months to live. She is pretty much down on luck.

On the day she finds out she has cancer, Dong Kyung is also confronted by a pregnant woman, who berates her for committing adultery. Only Dong Kyung did not know that her boyfriend, Jo Dae Han (Kim Ji Seok), was married.
When the woman experiences pain, Dong Kyung reveals that she is dying, and the woman who realizes the truth decides to divorce her husband.
