Happiness is fleeting and yet we live

Story: A goblin who accidentally made a goblin wife upon saving someone. I love the plot. Fantasy wise, it makes sense and somehow convincing, however there were some irregularities when it comes to time and reasons. The tug-of-war of their emotions and dialogues were kind of strange and vague in episode 4 onwards, fortunately, their communication got better. It had a touch of enough flashback in which I kinda hope they didn't switch the face, the acting of the younger/goryeo version of the second couple were much better. First three episodes and last three episodes were the best, cinematography wise, OST wise and plot-wise. The rest had some draggy moments of the two couples with sprinkles of emotional and funny scenes from other casts and stories of random people.

Acting: Eun-tak is indeed shining in this series. She acted very well as a strong-minded and hopeful girl despite her lost and abuse. She represented the character well, who thinks there's good in everything with occasional tantrums and sassiness. Despite the unconvincing dialogues with the goblin in their tug-of-war moments, the acting was appropriate and the music added to the mood. She did great in all her crying scenes. Kim Shin's acting was great too. Wang Yeo, i think, cried way too much after learning the past. His first cries were warranted but then it got over the top. However, the bromance between him and the goblin were cute. Sunny looked great in modern, not so much in historical though. The rest of the casts were convincing enough, including the other Grim Reapers. Deok-hwa was such a cutie and Director Kim was memorable as well.

Music: No complaints. Most of the songs were just perfect for the mood. Sometimes, I just listen to the song and not watch the slow-mo scenes. OSTs are just amazing.

Rewatch Value: I think some cute scenes are rewatchable but I enjoyed this drama because of the message, cinematography and music.

Overall: If it weren't for the draggy parts, this could have been a perfect 10 drama, however, it had some inconsistencies and bad editing that I quite noticed. The time line didn't match as well. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think Euntak's birthday(mentioned by the Goblin) is supposed to be in September and yet on the last episode, her birthday was mentioned in July? Apart from that, the time in between their first meeting, Christmas and the exams and part-timing were all over the place that it got me confused. Even so, I still enjoyed it as it did not affect my overall feeling for this drama. Another is the ending, although I loved the summary of the second couple, I was quite concerned as to how it ended with Eun Tak. She didn't come back as a person and yet she was wearing her uniform? If someone has an explanation for that, feel free to comment. I just didn't get the essence of that ending. I imagined their ending would be accidentally meeting in the streets or something then the camera will mainly focus on their eyes and smiles upon recognition and bam, END. Anyway, the things I loved the most about this series are the message and emotions that come with it. I have watched a few reincarnation dramas but it never made me think about believing it but while watching this, it kind of made me believe it. Somehow, it can be true. Sometimes, we have that sudden feeling of closeness or goodness to a stranger. It's not because they have this gentle aura but because you just have that certain emotion with someone. The drama has more thought-provoking sentiments about life, faith(religion), fate/destiny, death(including suicide) and most importantly, love(in general). Romance isn't exactly the best thing in this, the main leads chemistry weren't great but mostly convincing for the drama. For me, It had a sibling-love vibe at first but it didn't give me that he's-too-old-for-her vibe as well. I think it's worth the hype, no matter how short their happiness is, they definitely made it worth it.
