'Just like…' — but here mostly the word 깍듯
As an ending, -듯 draws a comparison: 하늘에서 꽃비가 내려오듯! 'like a shower of flowers coming down from the sky.' But five of these lines are the separate word 깍듯, a caption meaning someone is being impeccably, almost stiffly polite — 깍듯 아유 선배님 죄송합니다. Same syllable, unrelated meaning, and on variety shows the caption is what you will see far more often.
Register: comparison; 깍듯 is a caption word
