Obra maestra!!!!
Maravillosa historia y entrañables personajes, música bellísima, paisajes y escenarios que envuelven al espectador y que hacen soñar! Todo, todo me ha encantado en este cuento lleno de amor, redención y esperanza. Una historia de amor inolvidable, preciosísima, que conmueve hasta las entrañas! Una pareja principal con una gran química! Un bromance memorable! La Second Couple perfecta, fantástica! Tragedia, alegría, humor, suspense, todas las emociones despierta esta joya de kdrama que es, en mi humilde opinión, una de las grandes series coreanas de los últimos años, creo que ya podría considerarse un clásico con mayúsculas. Si dudáis en verla por la trama de fantasía mitológica no dudéis más. Os animo a no perder ni un segundo. Corred a verla! La recordaréis para siempre como una joya cinematográfica muy querida!Considerați utilă această recenzie?

OST-
Can I just say, *It's perfect* I cry everytime I hear a song from goblin, either nostalgia or just because song is so good. You should definitely check the song separately.
ACTING-
I like main characters acting, it was light hearted and she was a cutie. She delivered the innocence, and maturity at the same time. The male leads acting was great as well, but I mean it's Gong Yoo. I also loved the Grim Reapers acting, cold yet cute.
PLOT-
It's really good, with many romance plots yet mysteries and tragedies. Side plots were also great. The plot will make you happy yet cry at the same time.

I regret waiting so long.
I can't tell you how many times I heard I needed to watch this show, but from some stupid reason, I kept putting it off. Why? I dunno. I'm dumb? Lol. Either way, of course once I started. I literally couldn't stop. To say I'm going to remember this show until my last breath will be a understatement.Trust me when I say if this show has caught your eye but you're still like "eh".... JUST WATCH IT !!! ... right now. It's so amazing!

Burden of the Past
There is no doubt that Korea still holds a major position in dramas in Asia in spite of the rise of China in this industry. This story is very interesting and well-developed - with the story spanning across centuries. The twists in the story were unexpected and very craftily woven. The two lead actors are good looking. Good looking actors and actresses often help.In comparison to Chinese dramas, the male characters in Korean dramas tend to be more chauvinistic in behaviour. This may because Chinese dramas have been under scrutiny not to portrait certain values or indeed Chinese society especially in the larger cities have become a lot more receptive to women's status in the society.
The English title of this drama, however, was very poorly translated. A goblin is an ugly dwarf-like creature. But the lead character is handsome and tall - a complete mismatch. Wonder whether the translator knew this. A better title could be Immortal, Demi-god, Burden of the Past or the like of these.

ONE OF THE FEW KDRAMAS THAT CAN EASILY GET A 10
Goblin is just everything you want in a kdrama. You probably read all the amazing reviews about how beautiful it is so I;m not going to repeat anything.Goblin is a 10 for sure and just kinda perfect but also at the same time I had my few opinions.
And here they are
AGE DIFFERENCE (very controverial)
- The age difference is a little weird... but the romance is too beautiful and tragic to even look at that. I highly disagree with people who think they had no chemistry and instead had a father-daughter relationship. Ar first I was highly weird out and disgusted by the age difference but I looked over it and you will to. Hopefully. What's more weird is the fact that Gong Yoo looks 40 10 years ago and today's time as well. Koreans are usualy younger looking so I didn't expect him to look that old for a korean but hey not every korean is younger looking and so representation matters lol
SECOND COUPLE
- Second couple didn't really grow on me. It was just there... I would have loved it if the gream reaper and goblin fell for the same girl. Now how controversial and conflicting is that! However that would ruin the bromance and I refuse to sacrifice the most amazing bromance in the history of kdrama for that thought.
MUSIC
THE BESTTTTTTTTTTTTT. THE BEST OST EVERRRRRRRR
ITS BEYOND BEAUTIFULLLLLL
I LOVE THE OPENING SONG AND STAY WITH ME
the opening song lyrics make no sense tho lol
GOBLIN DESERVES ALL THE HYPE! AND THATS ON PERIOD!

This is a tale of love and tragedy between a Grim Reaper and a Goblin-
I was here for the Grim Reaper and the Goblin. They kept my attention. I loved their relationship and these actors delivered. Forewarning, the main female character was a bit too much initially- I understand it was due to her age (she is a teenager). I LOVE THIS ACTRESS, even though I did not love her character. I feel the actress did a great job at portraying a very young girl, I just found the girl off putting. That just me. But please please please, get your tissue because when this actress delivers her tragic moment- JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH, She ripped the tears from the depths of my soul. I saw this clip before and STILL was not ready. The connections and storylines were well written. THE CINEMATOGRAPHY!!! THE SCENERY!!! Yessssssss. I recommend this drama.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Do not get hung up on the age gap, love is love is love
I Finished this masterpiece a couple of weeks ago, and I can’t stop thinking about it. The romance, the bromance, the comedy, the costumes, the jackets, the magic, the chemistry between the entire cast, the plot, the history, The memorable scenes, the beautiful kisses, And an ending that had me thinking about it for weeks. This is 100% worth the watch. Honestly if the music has been a bit better, this would’ve replaced my number one favorite. This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen, no matter the language and no matter the country. I can’t say enough good things about it. I know a lot of people get hung up on the age gap between the main female lead and main male lead, but She starts off the show as a naive, awkward 19 year old and ends the show as a strong, fierce 29-year-old woman....how can you not love a young woman coming into her own strength?! meanwhile he’s supposed to be 900 years mentally, 32 physically, but 18 romance wise. It evens out in my eyes. I say just Indulge in it and let yourself fall in love with them too. And don’t even Get me started on the secondary romance and how precious it is. But let’s be honest the real star of the show is the romance between the goblin and grim reaper. I hope these to do another show together someday.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Definitely Recommend
I have to address something that people are pointing out as a flaw; the age gap. I'm going to start by saying that I'm not typically a fan of age gap romances at all, but I feel like there was a purpose in Goblin for the ages and the writers did a great job with their relationship development. They didn't do anything illegal in terms of intimacy while she was 19 - they had one peck when she tried pulling out the sword. They didn't kiss again until she was 20 and they didn't go further than that until she was 29 (if we go off of implication). Yes, when she was 19, Kim Shin admitted that she was his first love, but why is that inappropriate when she would age and he wouldn't? You have to remember that he's essentially stuck at the same physical age and his loved ones all age around him. And if she's fated to be his true love, he will love her at any age. From young to old. In addition to that, the love he feels for her isn't just about romance. Plus, the reason she was 9, 19, and 29 is because of the whole '9' thing in the show, so she couldn't be slightly older or younger than 19 at the age they met. I think I would have had problem with the age gap if they kissed properly (or went further) while she was still a minor, but they didn't because this series is about their fated true love and how they'll always meet. It's a beautiful story of their sad love and life. Age isn't really in the equation.Story: I loved the entire story. It kept my attention so that I was never bored - despite the episodes being long. The writing was amazing most of the time. I laughed, smiled, squealed, cried, and even got scared by that asshole evil soul who shall not be named. Plus, I loved the fantasy and supernatural theme of the show. It had all the right ingredients to make me fall in love with the drama: romance, fantasy, supernatural, comedy, angst, found family and bromance. The development between Wang Yeo and Kim Shin honestly brought me to tears. Ugh. Anyway, the last four episodes kind of brought down the rating for me a little because everyone was taking turns dying or leaving. But, it does make sense for the show. All the characters were great too, there wasn't a single one I hated.
Acting/Cast: Incredible acting from the entire cast. Although I love Gong Yoo and he played his role perfectly, I feel like he would have been better suited for the role 5 years beforehand.
Music: Perfect.
Rewatch value: If I have time, I might rewatch this.
Overall: I highly recommend watching this if you haven't yet. It really is such a good drama.

One of the best Korean drama, iconic
One of the best drama and I think everyone agrees with this. The production is so good, the story is compelling and it will really hook you up, I was never a fan of fantasy dramas that's why I watched this years after release but this opened my door to watching some dramas with fantasy elements.My highlights of the film are Eun Tak's acting, her acting feels so real most of the times especially with the sad scenes, I also loved Sunny's character and how can we talk about Goblin without the OST? The OST of this drama alone is so good especially Stay and Beautiful Life.
