I had put off watching Goblin for the longest time because from what I had heard of it I knew it would become my favorite drama out there, and I was right. I finished watching it a few days ago and from the very first moment to the very last I knew that very few other dramas will be able to top what this one made me feel.

If you're hesitant to start it please have faith and take the plunge. I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed. The hype around it is well deserved. Everything from the intricate and complex storyline, to the breathtaking acting, the superb score, the setting, the beautiful cinematography interweave to tell a heart-aching story about fate, love that can transcend time, karma, the power to change one's own destiny and the strong bond of friendship. Everything in this drama is intentional and everything serves a purpose. Every scene helps set the tone of the overarching story and helps develop the characters in meaningful ways. You will find yourself holding your breath more than once!

I will however warn that this drama is not for the weak of heart. The story is heavy with emotion and you will find yourself crying almost every episode. So if you are not looking for an emotionally heavy drama, this might not be for you. But in my opinion every tear is worth it. You will be sucked into a world that you will never want to get out of.

Truly a masterpiece! I think I will be hard pressed to find another drama that can evoke the kind of feelings this one made me experience.
