Black *sounds* like a story similar to the Grim Reaper's romance in Goblin. Both are Fantasy Romance. Immortal falling for human love stories. One forgets the other...
**Edit - Black is totally different to Goblin, but the Fantasy, Romance genre remains. Both are also about supernatural entities on Earth and interacting with humans.

- Male lead was a honorable war general in the past life in a historical era, both of them were so loyal, powerful and highly respected, later lead their King/Emperor to have suspicions of their loyalty due to the evil people's manipulation. Both MLs were being killed with treason. (Early episodes in Goblin and One and Only drama)
- In the next life in a modern era, the leads are reincarnated as same people (Forever and Ever drama). Male lead is immortal, so he lives a long and lonely life alone (Goblin).

original story | amazing acting / visuality / fiction | mystery / action | chemistry of lead roles
They have a very similar feel to them (e.g. dreamy, fantasy aesthetic). Main leads are connected by some kind of "fate", and they are capable of changing the future a little. If you liked Goblin, you might like While You Were Sleeping. Also, both dramas can be a bit slow (Goblin is slower in my opinion.)
-Supernatural stuff with a sprinkle of reincarnation
-Couples that are meant to be meeting after a veeery long time

Both these dramas are centered on a mythical
and immortal creature who used to be human and whose goal is to find the person who'll be able to help them end the curse they are subjected to.
The dramas are high-budgeted with good acting and high production value and cinematography.

Both stories delve into past lives and reincarnations. Both shows are wonderful, with high-quality cinematography. The romance of both main leads is growing throughout the episodes, and we also get a secondary couple romance plot <3
There's an overshadowing mystery that creeps in within the midpoint of the show.

Both have a poor FL who meets a supernatural ML when she is at her lowest point and falls for him later on.
Also both have a wholesome second lead couple, some reincarnation elements and bromance.

Gods messing with humans life line, age gap, has grim reaper, is melodrama, Interspecies Romance and goes
This is a short Web Drama starring Kim Junmyeon from EXO. It has much comedy aspects. It involves grim reapers and loving the living which might be something viewers of Goblin might enjoy. Quite funny, very heart breaking. 100% Enjoyable.
The main lead in this drama is a grim reaper with a heartbreaking past romance with the female lead, and in Goblin the second male lead is also a grim reaper who has a similar story with his love interest.
It is similar in terms:
-that both male leads are immortal
-that the female leads are the only one that can aid them. In Goblin, the fl is the only one that can help ml obtain death while in IAMTYYATS fl is the only one who can suppress ml's mutation.
-in Goblin, ml has 1 whole family generation that looks after his every need and also in IAMTYYATS, ml also has a whole family generation looking after his every need.
-both dramas ml are filthy rich
-both portray a older man/ younger female dynamics
-both fls are very outgoing and cheerful

of their mythology! Both dramas have incorporated the heavenly (and hell) beings to their story. Though they don't exact;y have the same conflict going on, both dramas have a matter-of-life-and-death conflict to deal with.
And though I like Goblin, Arang is still the number one on my list when it comes to a resolution for a love that transcends death.

Reincarnation, past lives, and the concept of death vs. life/immortality are very major themes in both series, only the FL is the supernatural being in SYIM19L, whereas the male lead is the supernatural being in Goblin. There is also bromance between the male leads in both series. Goblin is slightly more melodramatic and poetic than SYIM19L, but if you liked the romance in Goblin, you'll definitely enjoy the romance in SYIM19L.
