If you can get over the repetitive OSTs this show keeps throwing at you (which trust me can be obnoxious at times haha, beautiful OSTs though nonetheless) this is a phenomenal production by Netflix, Son Ye Jin and Jung Hae In chemistry really worked well in this one.

Has your very common kdrama trope where one of the leads parents don't support their child's love interest (but with an interesting plot twist nonetheless) the entire cast in this show work so well with each other. I'd also say the pacing is just about right, they've given every character enough time to develop themselves into the story.

Definitely a good one to to add to your starter list, if you're just getting into Kdramas.

Watched this right after I completed Something in the Rain, so couldn't completely relate to Jung Hae In's character as in my mind he was still with Noona :p But apart from that, this is a mellow story that progresses really quickly into a quirky little love story between two characters albeit they have their hardships in 'trying' to be together. It's a sigh of relief to not see the usual trope which is always one of the families not being supportive of the main characters ending up together (let's make an excuse for the dad) It has a great selection of OSTs (think the director has a trend of overplaying the OSTs in his shows though, he did the same in Something In The Rain) and a lot of characters to be invested in. Definitely a casual breath of fresh air!

If you're waiting for the perfect moment, now is that perfect moment.

I kept this one off for awhile, I started getting into KDramas about a year ago and I've been a huge fan of tear jerker/romantic dramas. I've said it before and I have no hiccups in saying it again, "Koreans have mastered the art of tragic dramas."

I've seen quite a few kdramas and you best believe I've shed a tear or two in some of them, not embarassed to share that at all.

What can I say? I can't say I stumbled upon this kdrama because I've always seen it mentioned everywhere, on the kdrama subreddit that I lurk quite frequently, in kdrama related discords etc..but people mainly talk about it for its beautiful OSTs and I'm here to tell you that, it's a god damn masterpiece, the OST's aren't overrated or unnecessarily bragged about. Each and every OST in this show is a spot on 10/10 - I genuinely can't find a single flaw in it. In fact, it just completes this show.

Moving to the cast, you really can't get better chemistry between a male and female lead than this adding to the fact that the secondary m lead and f lead is also a perfect match! No matter what word I choose to describe the level of performance the artists have given, it would be an understatement.

Coming to the show itself without spoiling too much, damn this director for continuously having a grip on your heart through the last few episodes. So very well executed, I want to hate it and love it at the same time but I can say this, it's definitely left a mark on me. Definitely going to have a Goblin hangover that's going to last for quite awhile.

If you've read this far, give it a watch. Don't leave it for another day.

P.S - The only reason I've given a 8/10 for rewatch value is because I don't really rewatch any kdrama cause my heart wouldn't be able to endure that much damage. It's a precaution I take for my own well being.
