Goblin (2016)

When all just comes together with perfection a symphony is born.

OK Guys, this is my first time ever to write a review but that one is worth it to me and it really doesn't need a second thoughts to watch it I'm telling you guys that drama has everything from laughter to sadness to heart worming love to suspense, will there to many things to put it in a simple review but I'm just saying the story and the acting and the filming came together in the right time the music marge in and they make a wonderful combination and the camera work with slowing the time at the right moment it just breathtaking. Watch it and you will see what I'm trying so hard to describe in that review and know it doesn't do justice by it.
thank you.
M.G.Shanab

I haven't been able to find anything that I love as much as Goblin. Literally the only complaint I can think of is that the story drags a little bit when I wanted more elsewhere, so I wish that time was used a little better, but it's really only a criticism when compared to itself because the story is mostly amazing and well paced.

Other than that, I can't think of anything I would change. The acting is amazing, the styling and cinematography is gorgeous, and the OST is hands down my favorite of any drama.

Don't let the age gap freak you out, it serves a metaphorical purpose in the story (the motif of the seasons) and we as the viewers know that no one is being taken advantage of.

This is one of those shows I have to stop myself from comparing every other show to, because if I did, very few things would measure up.

The acting was solid in this. Gong Yoo's portrayal of Kim Shin was excellently done, especially in the finale. Deep emotions yet not emo throughout.

Second lead relationship definitely more ship-worthy than the first lead relationship in this drama.

To me the story dragged, the chemistry was quietly simmering throughout in a beautifully shot drama. Rather than situational conflicts, the drama was more about character interactions so relied more heavily on proper acting. Fortunately, the leads were well-cast and met those expectations.

Had to force myself to finish this one. To me slightly overrated but still a good show and worth watching if you have time on your hands.

Perhaps, The most popular drama these days .. Goblin is everything you'd want in a drama .. joy , sorrow , love and separation .. the cast is perfect and nothiing less ... Gong Yoo as Kim Shin will make you woe for him in each and every episode and Lee Dong wook is just the cutest thing you'll find one the face of the earth . Kim Go eun is kinda hated for this character and received a lot of mean comments saying "she's ugly " and all , and let me say this .. everyone who said are just envious idiots , that's all . Her character is really good and the chemistry between them is just awe-some! Lee dong wook and Yoo In Na's relationship is cute and yoo in na (sunny)'s character is kinda that lovable character but you wish she'd be better idk what to say about her :3 The story has a great flow and very very high re-watch value .. trust me every comedy , romantic scene can be watched everyday and you'd still not get bored .

Not Great, But Still Very Good

I did enjoy this drama. The cast was flawless! Its not often that a drama's lead and second lead couples are equally strong and with the added bonus of a bromance that was every bit as compelling as the romances. The story is beautiful and well told, yet something about it just misses the mark for me.

I guess I didn't quite understand why the Goblin was being punished so severely. And is it me, but was there A LOT of crying? I felt like I cried A LOT. I don't mind "the feels", but by episode 9 it started to feel almost gratuitous. Goblin had many funny scenes as well. The casting was superb! But was there one episode where at least one character did not cry?

I must mention that the OST is AMAZING and definitely contributed to "the feels". I looked forward to hearing Never Far Away each and every episode. 16 episodes was perfect and Gobllin is definitely worth a watch, but this is not a drama I would rewatch, not even for certain scenes. Solid drama, but it's one and done for me.

This drama took me a while to finish because somewhere in the middle made me scared to finish it..(watch it if you want to know ;)) But overall, the creativity of this drama was unique and mesmerizing. Somewhere between all of the episodes made me realize how important life is, and how we should cherish it as if we are going to die tomorrow. (I know we are in quarantine, but there is still stuff we can do even if we are locked down) The actors and actresses really portrait their character significantly. The story is somewhat similar to the 'Hotel Del Luna' but things can't really be the same especially if it's different characters and settings. The cinematography was insane!!!!, the funny moments with Grim and Goblin were hilarious which is the reason why I started watching this drama. The ending kind of made me confused but I sorta understand where they are going at... but I wish Sunny and 'KIM WOO BIN' had more screen time and more "dates". I find their relationship very rom-com -idy than Eun Tak and Goblin. But I still like the romances that they have. The way they first met, first love, and first sadness....? This drama also showed me how dedicated he was to Eun Tak, he was patient to wait for her even if he is a 'LONELY GOD'
This quote; "There is no sadness that lasts for eternity. There is no love that lasts for eternity either." and Eun Tak voted for "Sad love"... This quote teared me up because the commitment she is doing is just sooo amazing and a life lesson. I wish that for anyone who is looking for love or is in love, I wish for yall to be dedicated as them... This is true love!!!
Overall, this made me cry!, laugh, smile, cringe, and made me jealous xD
After watching this, it inspired me to keep going and push on in life!
The comedy in this drama will stay with me forever! HAHAH!
I also loved how Deok-Hwa is the pabo person in the drama...evne though it's mostly Grim and Goblin.
After watching Sungjae in this drama, I began to miss 'WE GOT MARRIED' with JOY T.T
Anyways! This was a fun and memorable moment of me watching GOBLIN.
Watching this drama took me almost 4 MONTHS HAHAHAHAH.
THANK GOD I FINISHED IT THO!!!
AND THAnk you for the ending <3....teared me up but that was a ----- ending <3 <3

Já no primeiro episódio eu criei grandes expectativas, a história demonstrou ser bastante instigante e promissora, a estética das cenas me agradou logo de cara, no entanto, os episódios passaram a ser monótonos, por vezes até cansativos e cheios de flashbacks além do casal principal ter uma química quase nula o que me deixou bastante frustrada e um pouco decepcionada. Porém, me esforcei a continuar assistindo e foi a melhor decisão que eu poderia ter tomado.
O casal principal evolui de uma maneira sutil e quando eu menos esperava estava completamente apaixonada pelos dois e não só por eles mas por todos os personagens e, principalmente, pela história. Eu me envolvi com com o drama sem nem perceber, passei a sofrer e a rir junto com os personagens e ansiar profundamente pelo tão esperado final feliz. Os últimos episódios são incríveis e prenderam completamente minha atenção de um modo que nem eu esperava.
Goblin me fez experimentar um misto de emoções tão grande, minha opinião sobre o show mudou varias vezes enquanto assistia e quando terminou eu demorei a digerir o que eu havia acabado de assistir, não sabia o que pensar, eu amei, odiei ou foi mais um drama qualquer?
O drama não é nada obvio e não entrega nada de mão beijada, tem que se permitir mergulhar na história pra assim ser capaz de desfrutar tudo que ela tem a oferecer.
Penso que se desde o primeiro momento eu tivesse comprado o show minha experiência teria sido ainda melhor (claro que os flashbacks repetitivos e as cenas desnecessárias acabam atrapalhando um pouco).
Raramente desejo por uma segunda temporada de um dorama, mas goblin eu realmente ficaria muito feliz se tivesse.

P.S: O ceifador e Sunny são um dos melhores casais secundários no mundo dos dramas.

I know this is a melodrama to heavy drama series but I have to say I laughed more than I cried watching this drama. Grim Reaper having no name and business card were my favorites, I enjoyed the scenes of Grim Reaper - Kim Shin, -Yoo Deok-hwa and Ji Eun-tak fun moments inside their house. At first i was not sure how to feel about the main leads, but their acting made me fall in love with their characters. They were able to show how love can lighten up even the hardest situations in life. I also like how bold they are in showing their feelings to each other. I love that how they feel is being seen from their faces in their acting. I love Gon Yoo's acting esp when he is fluttered :) And who would not love to watch 3 good-looking male leads and a cute leading lady.
