Goblin (2016)

You are not a Professional Kdrama watcher if you didn't watch this drama YET...

Yeah! that's right, this is one of the most popular as well as one of the bust kdrama out there. Almost every kdrama watcher watch this drama cause this is a master piece.
All the things , story, ost, acting are the best, I don't want to tell much more about this drama cause there isn't any kdrama fan who didn't watch this drama.

However, little brief about this drama.

ACTING, CAST. ...( 1000/10 )

ML, FL, SML, SFL acting as well as their roles far more better than any drama that I've seen so far, Now I've watched almost 150+ kdramas
But still this drama is on the top of my list, I didn't see any drama that can beat this drama yet because of that combination of their roles as well as acting. And those four actors still on the top of their acting carrier , none of them failed their life as a actor.
so you can understand what I'm plotting here.
And the chemistry between SML & SFL,
After this drama they got their own drama named " Touch Your Heart" as FL & ML.
it's a one hell of a proof

STORY (10/10)
For the story and the End...
Bit sad at the end but nope, it won't that sad cause they found their happiness again. And how the story begins and till the very End of the Drama I can't actually remember any Boring scene at all, Story Perfect.



As for all,
If you are not watch this drama yet, Go on, start watching RIGHT NOW...




HOPE YOU WILL WATCH THIS GREAT DRAMA...

Was it good?

Okay so Goblin has been sitting on my to watch list for a long time. I just, I dunno. It never grabbed me.
I finally took the plunge to watch it. I loved the acting and humor they had in the series.
But to me, this wasn't the best KDrama I've seen. Story was good, but the first half was kinda boring minus all the funny bits of the Goblin, Reaper and "Nephew".
I would recommend to watch, but I doubt it will be a KDrama I'll ever watch again.
Good cast, great songs and good story line. But yet like i said, the first half was boring. I dunno why, but it was.
Comment on this if you watch it from my review :)

HEAVY SPOILERS, srry, but i have a LOT of questions

I honestly don't know what to think about this series. The cast... maan, was amaziiing. The acting and the soundtrack were completely wonderful, however the plot literally didn't exist. The story overall was cute, but most of the time nothing really happenned and was boring sometimes, this is why it took me about 4 months to finish.

The Goblin's and Ji Eun Tak's death were almost completely pointless, or more of like tiring in my opinion. By that time I already could figure it out what is going to happen and how would the series end. Don't get me wrong, what I mean is, that i get why they had to die, but by the last two or three eps, I was literally just hoping that the series will end soon and I can close it down.
The relationship between the Grim Reaper and Sunny, and how all the caracters had been connected to each other were amazing and gripping, but maaan. So much suffering and crying from my part, and all without any use.

What I really did not like, is this open ending. And under open, I mean that it's great, that the Reaper and Sunny got a happy ending, but we've never got to know how many lives the Reaper has got left, and how is that that they didn't have their memories back.
AND, I would just like to mention, that although it's really cute, that Special Case was reborn, but she's still a human, and will die eventually. AND, how is that, that the Goblin managed to get back to life, and got back his powers and everything, but somehow nobody mentioned how will he die. Like... Will he just live till eternity, after Eun Tak dies the forth time??? Broo.. And ALSO, I really, really wanted all three(four mby) of them to meet again, but since the Reaper and Sunny has serious memory loss, although netiher of them drank that fcking tea, I think I must just let it go and leave it be.

In the end, just to sum up, I would definetely recommend this kdrama, but let me just warn y'all, that it's not for the weak ones. xd

The show that started it all

I highly recommend this show.
This was one of the first shows I watched when I started watching Kdramas. This was the first supernatural/fantasy genre Kdrama I saw so I was very sceptical but I LOVED it.

The story was so captivating. The casting was perfection and all the cast members knew what they were doing.
The back and forth between the modern timeline and ancient timeline was so well done.
The highlight of the show for me was the bromance between the goblin and the grim reaper.
The love story was between the goblin and the main FL was fine (once you get past the creepy age difference). I preferred the love story of the second ML and FL more.

A good story makes or breaks the show for me but OST makes it unforgettable. This show has arguably one of the best OSTs. It still gives me goosebumps.

Definitely a MUST-WATCH!!!!

Not worth watching

I'll admit that I watched it recently, 5 years after it aired and I may have enjoyed it more had I watched it then, the beautiful scenery and production would've blinded me. But since it's not the case and kdrama since then have a better production so it's not the only high budget drama anymore, I'll say it really wasn't worth watching.

The story didn't move at all, they spent so many episodes going back and forth, and they would go as much as 5 episodes without nothing substantial happening. The story could be condensed in a 1h30 movie, I'm not sure there was even a story worth telling to begin with.
The second leads helped me get through the show, their storyline was a little more interesting, but the second part of their story was a little boring to.
The bromance was on point though.

1st Episode

I feel so confused right now, I just finished the first episode and I really enjoyed the plot and the characters of Ripper and Goblin a lot. Even the visual effects too, BUT and here comes the big but, I didn’t like the almost 20 years age gap between the main couple, it’s so cringe. During the whole episode I was waiting for a time skip or something where we would have an older female lead actress, don’t get me wrong, I really like all the actors, but Kim Go Eun is too young for Goong Yoo (who I'm really fond of), they should have had more of a father-daughter relationship, not a romantic one (very uncomfortable to watch) in my point of view. I still don’t know if I'll continue watching it, I thought it was important to bring this up beforehand, so you can decide, otherwise you would feel as frustrated as I do.

One of the best K drama of all time

This drama is a gem of the k-industry. The cast, acting, cinematography, dialogues, story line and music were top notch.

The reason why this drama is celebrated by many is due to the uniqueness of each characters. The drama shows how much past trauma can hurt someone. Though the ML is a goblin he's suffering to find his bride and from his past guilt, though the FL is cheerful she has had an abusive past, and on the contrary the grim reaper suffers from not being able to recall his past. This goes to show that no matter what you've to bear the consequences of your past actions.

What makes this drama extra special is its perfect blend of romance, grief, comedy and revenge. It's my comfort show that I've binged several times and would highly recommend to others too. Be prepared with a tissue pack cuz you're in for an emotional rollercoaster ride :)

Actingwise TOP, but storywise.... meh

I understand why there are so many people who really love the goblin. The reason are the really awesome looking actors and their great performance! You cannot help to fall for them, I fully understand that!If you only want to swoon for the actors, just go on, they are great! But honestly, the ending isn't satisfying at all. It just feels as if the sad ending is only delayed for an unknown amount of time. And the religious beliefs in this story are a great mess. A very strange mix of catholic and buddhistic elements called fantasy. Come on, there are reincarnations AND heaven and hell at the same time, to mention just one example... There were many funny moments, it is really moving because of the good acting, but the wishy-washy ending killed it for me.

Overrated dorama

From my point of view, goblin had everything to be a dorama 10/10, however, some things left something to be desired. Until episode 13 I thought they got involved a lot in some scenes, and many could be easily deleted... since from ep 13, where it really started to get interesting, I felt that many explanations were missing and could have had a more complete and interesting outcome. At first I found the story shallow and some scenes were repeated over and over again (for example, the goblin's sister carrying the dishes on her shoulder while she was queen). The secondary romance got on my nerves (as well as the secondary character), because it was just winding up and a boring and forced story, I wanted to move forward every time Kim Sun appeared lol.. The best part of the dorama was certainly the friendship between the reaper and the goblin.

I thought the ending was very shallow, it didn't explain and didn't show much that needed to be clarified/better developed, even I didn't believe that that was really an ending. Anyway, I was sad about these details, because the dorama had everything to be one of my favorites.

One of my favorite dramas of all time

I don't have a lot of talent in writing reviews, and English is not my mother language, so ill try not to be confusing.
I was hesitant to start watching this drama, but I'm so glad I gave it a go!
I'm not one to cry when watching dramas, or anything really, but I cried like a baby in this one. The actors are great, and you really get tangled up in the feelings the story is portraying. It's a heartbreaking, beautiful story and I felt every second of it.
The only downside for me was the way they wrapped up the last minutes of the drama. I hoped we would see at least some development, and that the friendship between the goblin and the grim reaper would get through the forgetting past aspect, just like the bride. Another aspect was how they ended the nephew role, it just kind of ended, and we never got any update on him, as he doesn't remember anything from the past. Little bummers, but not major.
It is still a great drama and I definitely recommend it! Every second is worth it.
