Goblin (2016)

This drama was amazing!!!!!
I first hoped that there would be more romance but later on understood that this drama couldn't get more perfect even if it tried. It made me laugh, cry, think, relate, clap my hands and so much more.

Goblin is rlly the definition of lonely and Eun Tak is rlly the best thing that happened to him.

Sunny and Reaper were also rlly amazing. Sunny was an amazing friend and sister and Reaper had the best character arc.
I loved the bromance and all the side stories!
I also rlly liked the friendship Eun Tak had later on with the class rep!! relly cute.
Deok Hwa, his grandpa, and assistant Kim were also a bonus <3

This drama is a classic even tho it came out a few years ago. I loved the so unpredictable ending even tho it left me with questions. (How many lives do they have, why did he come back for a long period even tho the contract said "every first snow/rain etc", will he always look young while she ages and dies and then gets reborn again? hmmmmm).

although i had a headache (cuz i cried too much), i was so satisfied by the emotion the drama brought me.

everything is great: acting, music, script,... except for the story. i think there are some plot holes but cant tell clearly bcs they will be spoilers. some scenes are too cheesey :( final episodes moving really fast i got a little bit tired.

however, love all the cast!!! theres nothing to say about gong yoo, lee dongwook, yoo inna. they are excellent already. but i am so so surprised by yook sungjae and kim goeun. looking forward to their next films!!

now im going to continue 'touch your heart', watched it last year but dropped at the 10th episode bcs of losing interest. really excited!

The experience i got after watching this drama can't be expressed in words. It was one of the best drama i ever watched. First time i felt that it looks like an ordinary periodical love story and am not interested in it. But after reading the plot i give it try thats all. But Overall it was a worth watching for me because this drama makes me cry after the finale episode. The leading actors done their job perfectly. Goblin bride & grim Reaper and lover their romances are awesome.. it was a slow paced drama so the length may be an issue for some viewers... But am ok with it. U also give it a try. You will defenetly fall in love with all characters and also the plot

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!

When this Korean drama was aired, I was interested in the first episode. I could not take my eyes off the wonderfully scenes. Watching each new episode I felt like at the cinema, special effects and showing the story was better than many movies that I had the opportunity to see. This drama remarkably shows the thread how the fate of many people can interlace with each other over many years. Music reflected every scene correctly. Thanks to her, you could feel a lot more emotion and feel the same as the actors. If you like Korean drama with a fantasy story, you should watch it.

If you've just stumbled upon this drama, I would advise to instantly watch it. If you think you would find a comment that doesn't have all 10 stars, it doesn't exist.

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.

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.

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.
