A GUY'S PERSPECTIVE 101: I have been very critical when it comes to sci-fi and supernatural dramas and movies because they have one of the most confusing timelines and stories. That's why when I watched Goblin, I have expected a lot from it. And, honestly, I have my ups and downs as I watch this show. Nevertheless, this is a unique masterpiece that viewers need to see as Asian dramas continue to go through paradigm shift. Story: It started really well. AS IN REALLY WELL HAHAHA. The first episode topped most of the movies and other dramas' first episodes that I have watched. I have continued to like it as it shows the development of the characters and the relationships that they're in. However, I felt a lack of depth (just a little) to the story as I reached the half of it, and also, as I continued to watch it, questions about the characters, their statements, their actions, and their memories have risen. I wanted them to redeem the show, and guess what? THEY DID. The story ended not as big as the start of it, but it ended with a touch in the heart. My questions were also answered, komabta! Ending: I really liked it. Especially the ending for Sunny and Grim Reaper. :D Acting/Cast: The actors were good. However, I only want to mention these three characters that I salute, and the actors that have portrayed the role: (1) Kim Woo Bin/Wang Yeo/Grim Reaper. He's my favorite because of his sense of humor and how this sense opposes his being the deliverer of dead souls. Lee Dong Wook is really gooooood! I can't think of others who will fit the drama more than him. (2) Lee El. HUHUHUHUHU :'( every scene that she's in, I was very happy. Her character shows that we are never alone in this world. And Lee El is really fit for this role huhuhu she's so beautiful btw. And last, (3) Sunny. Her chemistry with Grim Reaper is daebak!!! Their pair is, by far, one of the best. I liked her innocence and at the same time, her strong personality. In Na is realllllllly beautiful omo please be with me hahaha I am not biased with her, but she's so good here haha. All in all, the cast displayed a wonderful performance. Music: UNDERRATED! IT SHOULD BE 14/10 HAHAHAHAHA THE MUSIC IS ONE OF THOSE THAT DROVE ME TO WATCH THIS SHOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. OSTs here are the best (my opinion) Rewatch Value: Worth watching again. Overall: Dramas have flaws. I believe that there is no perfect drama. But what makes an excellent drama is its consistency and its heart. I believe that this drama has both. And even when people bash this because of the lack of chemistry ( I admit that there is a lack but not too much) or the confusing facts ( But they explained it at the end well), I personally want to recommend it to other people. The effects were great, too. I also liked how the camera captures the scenes, especially the close-up ones. I think they did a pretty good job in terms of editing. A GUY'S CONCLUSION 101: I don't want to forget. Oblivion may be a grace, but forgetting goblin, her bride, grim reaper, sunny, goddess of birth, deok hwa and everyone of them would bring me more pain.
