Oh how I didn't know that Korea could do such a marvelous job when incorporating another culture into their drama shows!

I didn't expect the ML to be able to fluently speak Italian! I know I can't speak it but the way they portrayed the mafia made me respect the mafia a little bit more!

The first episode started off hardcore and ended the same way. I saw a few familiar faces in this series which I was glad to see. I'm not familiar with the main character. I haven't seen anything he's been in. But to save face it's because I'm a month shy of being an avid Korea drama fan watcher for a year. Anybody who has mad fighting skills I'm immediately drawn to.
As I say in my reviews I'm a action fanatic. I grew up watching old martial art movies they use to air on Saturday nights when I was a kid led me to this point. Thanks Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun Fat!!!

OK, I put this may contain spoilers just in case I slip and accidentally say something but I assume A LOT of people have already watched this.

The chemistry this cast had made me want to truly want to be apart of. I loved every member good and bad. They were spot on with their roles. I really want to hug the casting agent and writer of this series! The only thing that had me gritting my teeth was the fact that about the 19th episode it was like the writers forgot who the main lead was because he became weak because of a girl....Oy, this is why I no longer care for series that have romance in it. Saving a girl putting yourself and others in danger always tank for me. It went well up unto that point. Thankfully the last episode made up for the lapse of judgement from the previous episode.

I cheered, nearly bawled, got angry, and laughed a lot! It was so awesome that I was even cheering for a pigeon!!!

I know I'm twisted but I loved the way justice was served. Some was quicker than the others but it worked for me. It took me back to the movie 'Taken' with Liam Neeson. He gives a speech about how well his skills are and the bad guy just laughs thinking it's a joke until....Vincenzo took on that route which is why I love this series!

I didn't want this season to end but it had to. Will I rewatch this? Maybe. I gave it a high rewatch review because it was just that good. I only rewatched one of my favorite Korean dramas because I hit a action drama drought. I tend to do that at times but I may rewatch this one as well.

Really really dull

I love the BBC version of Sherlock and the US version of Sherlock. Each episode of these dramas had you completely stumped as to 'who did it'.

The Japanese have two versions-both the male version and this one and they're both the same: mediocre and dull.

There's no wow factor in any of these episodes. The plot in the very first episode was intriguing but the second episode lacked enthusiasm for me. I found myself yawing midway through and the episodes aren't long!

I liked the concept of taking a female approach but it just seemed like the main FL was just too pushy and extremely rude-even for Sherlock's demeanor's standpoint. They made the actual police force look dumb. I don't even know why they were involved! The second female lead was a waste. This is the second time Watson's character seemed utterly useless!! There was no spark in the second female lead. She put me to sleep faster than what the actual episodes did.

I realized after the second episode that I was done. I made a resolve that if I ever can't fall a sleep, just watch one of these episodes. It'll be the best tranquilizer I can get.

Not for everybody

Well, I guess I'm the odd one out of the bunch when I say I agree it's not for everybody.

The first episode didn't grab me at all. It just seemed like people just watched this drama because of how the characters looked.
I learned real quick that it might have that Disney 'love at first sight' feel and it did but the female character was just twisted because of psychological issues she had with her own father.

I learned enough from the first episode that this isn't my cup of tea.

I also have to stop falling for reviews like this. The minute I see people talk about how good a person looks I just need to steer clear of that. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for eye candy but come on, it doesn't give a good enough reason to watch.

OMG!!! Superficial to the core!

So I ended up painfully making it through the first episode only to completely stop watching episode 2.

The one thing I can't stand is a show basing itself off of someone's looks!!! I felt this bashing all people who aren't up to the handsome or the drop dead gorgeous and beautiful look degrading. Even the synopsis is superficial.

As anyone who has maybe read any of my reviews know is that I immediately stray away from Korean rom-coms because of how superficial and arrogant a character is.

I've watched several Korean dramas with Ahn Se Ha-had to copy and paste cuz I suck at names-and he's a great actor. I felt so bad when I realized they made him out to be short and ugly. How cruel can the writer be?? I don't understand why he took on a role that bashes him cuz of his looks. The main male lead was NOTHING to look at. His mouth looked like botox gone wrong. I'm not saying that to be mean but this guy looked like he had work done on his face. He couldn't even cry right because he couldn't stretch his face to cry.

Here's why I dropped this drama altogether. The second episode picked up the seething factor I had when the first episode ended. The female who was the dead prosecutor who came back to life was angry because the dead guy who came back to life came back handsome and she came back looking like what she looked like. I don't judge females but she was pretty. I hated the attitude the original female prosecutor had. Men lining up just to be with her because of her looks....yeah...I was so done after that.
The story line was all over the place as well. From what I gathered people died and came back with different looks....I don't know the reason behind that but it was enough to make me drop the series.

It's sad because I have dropped around 5 dramas within a month and I have never done that since I've come to watch Korean dramas.

I came to watch Goblin because of the blooper and funny moments that I saw on Youtube. I immediately fell in love with the Reaper and Goblin characters without even touching a episode first.
So after seeing those two videos on Youtube I went to watch the first episode.

The story of how Goblin came to be was intriguing and seeing how the Reaper worked had me as well so I became giddy thinking this was going to be an excellent watch.

Man how wrong was I??? The main FL became annoying pretty quick. I was hoping against hope that this wasn't going to be a dimwitted female who will fall in love quickly without having any relationship buildup and there it was....the dimwitted female who quickly falls in love with a guy without having a relationship buildup. It's why I became to hate Korean romance dramas in the first place.
The oozing sappy cliche romances always grate my nerves and I truly steer clear of them. I have, however, watched some Kdramas that had romance in it that was barely tolerable but this one...I felt it was just going to be the same throughout the whole series.

I tried going back to finish the first episode but I just kept pausing and haven't been back since. I can't say anything else about this drama because I barely finished the first episode. From reading other reviews that had the same feelings as me, I don't think I'm missing anything.
