Irritating female lead!
I'm here for Lee Dong Wook, and even then, I couldn't bear to watch through the series despite wanting to watch him! The storyline itself is quite nice, actually. I love the fantasy element of it all, except....The immature, childish, stubborn, reckless and irritating FL. I'm afraid this is a very unhealthy and toxic portrayal on how a woman should behave!
The fame of the show seems to agree that the FL needs to be "saved" all the time, that it's okay to be demanding and act cute towards a guy, because people think that's cute?
But, it just further promotes behavior of woman having to act cute, pretend to be weak, and to be spoilt, just because they are female.
My intolerance towards FL made me dropped the show. This means a lot, because I usually am very generous with rating. I easily give a rating of 8-10, in general. So, for me to give this rating means that's how underrated and disappointing this show is
Having said that, I really hope people still continue watching LDW, because he is an amazing actor! It's not his fault that the show turns out this way :P

Amazing start but OMG it gets so slow
ok when i started it i was in shock how good it was. first 6 eps were AMAZING but the way the writers killed the vibe pissed me off so hard...the story is amazing dont get me wrong but the writers needa get fired for ruining a show with such high possibilities. every 2 mins there the 15 second slowmo music scene which enrages me so much...like its ok a couple of times but BRO stop it....it made me so angry that i no longer want to know if that damn blade comes out or not...i feel so bad for the writers cuz the base plot is so good but it just gets sooooooooo slowwwwwww. the actors are the best and they dont deserve such a bad director...i never drop shows and i think i will eventually finish it but that won't be happening in the next 2 yrsWas this review helpful to you?
The cast are beyond amazing, the plot keeps you on your toes and makes you cry, laugh, cringe and smile like crazy. The story is beautiful and mysterious and it is the most unique storyline.
I am beyond heartbroken that the show is over.
EVERYONE watch Goblin!

BEST KDRAMA EVER!
Honestly, I was skeptical of this kdrama but it truly became the best kdrama I have ever seen. The acting the writing the amazing shots are what makes this kdrama so good and the ost being top tier as well. The reason why I like this kdrama so much is because it focuses on the main characters a lot. The 4 main characters' stories were told so well without many other distractions. The love felt real and beyond time. The writing on this show is exceptional and note-worthy I recommend this drama to any new or old kdrama lovers it will not disappoint.Was this review helpful to you?
Love this kdrama
For me, along with Descendants of the Sun, Goblin is the best kdrama of all time! I have watched alot of kdramas and Goblin is just so good it’s @ the top! The Cinematography (some of the most beautiful scenes of any movie, drama, show) soundtrack (haunting, gorgeous music) story, acting (actors are so good, plus all of them fit their characters perfectly), character depth and growth, mystery, romance, supernatural, very good flashbacks, its all there. Sooooooooo good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Was this review helpful to you?

An Absolute Classic!
Nowadays, when you talk about Kdramas, a humongous classic is always thrown into the conversation. Gobli, Guardian, whatever it may be called, this show has remained rent-free on so many people's heads for such a long amount o time that it makes you wonder. What is it really about?At a core level, Goblin is no better than your generic, corny, over-the-top Korean romance with all the blows and whistles, but with a few twists that really drive off an ever-lasting mystery.
The mystery doesn't really stick up at the forefront, but it's ever-present and slowly, but surely, gets revealed as you also get more and more attached to the characters and start paying more attention to the non-romance plot line, which in my opinion is a very underrated aspect in this series that's not talked about enough.
It also helps that the show is such a binge-able series, especially in portions, or as you may view as mini "arcs". Let alone, the rewatchability.
I won't say more for spoilers-sake, but give it a watch!

a história em si é mto boa
conta a história de uma menina que em um dia muito triste de seu aniversário, faz um desejo e o Globin acaba escutando.. com isso, eles acabam se conhecendo e ela percebe que sempre que faz um desejo ele aparece. Todavia, ele tem uma espada no coração que apenas uma única pessoa pode ver, e essa pessoa é ela, mas, essa espada pode trazer a morte dele.é uma história de fantasia, romance e bem engraçada, gostei, mas não achei incrível como todas as pessoas acham, até porque levei um tempão para terminar.

I loved it! BUT
So as everyone else i had enough of hearing about goblin even when it literally has been 6 years since it was made, and it's always either people HATE it or completely worship it! I was confused but i knew what to expectSo i watched it, put all those opinions behind my back and gave it my all attention
First of all let's just say that what i can remember the most and appreciated the most is kim go-eun acting and what made me laugh the most is Lee dong-wook and of course who i completely fell in love with was gong yoo, surprised? I don't think so!
Yoo in-na was so refreshing, her character was the most shocking to me, i loved how she was bold and shy less which i wish we can see more of it in kdramas, she was everything the show needed to make it more fun and light hearted yet she was a huge part of the heartbreaking drama.
The visual effects were as expected not good at all! But we could just turn eye on that
Is goblin a Masterpiece? No.
Is it the closest kdrama of being a masterpiece? Yes.
It's not perfect cuz it lacks so many things and at a point you'd feel like omg how is it that long? And the flashbacks are TOO MANY this to me was hands down the worst thing about this show! I just saw the scene you don't have to flashback to it like it happened 5 episodes ago???
The cinematography was dreamy like. I loved the winter feeling of it, at a point the show was just too much to take and the plot is already predictable so it really didn't need to be that long, i think the director really thought it was mysterious of like.. we were sitting blindly waiting to know what will happen!

Best epic fantasy drama
Okay, there's pure biasness in this review cos I'm a huge Goo Yoo fan! This drama is pure epic fantasy with so much fun and ab-lib moments that is sooo enjoyable! The best squad for Goo Yoo, Kim Go-Eun and Lee Dong Wook who are still good friends in this time and age, that's why this drama is so precious! Although the age gap btw ML and FL but it's a fantasy so don't take it too hard, they have great chemistry and Kim Go-Eun was so young and pure which I find it cute!I'll rewatch it every winter with Quebec as the background (the cty which I visited and misses), listening to the OST gives back so much memories!

What a beautiful story.
What a beautiful story. Why is so hard to love? We have only one life, one opportunity. I loved every single character of this drama, they all added something different to it.I always try to be unbiased when I give a review but, I like Gong Yoo (Kim Shin) and Kim Go-Eun (Ji Eun Tak), they have great chemistry.
This story has everything, tradition, love, hope, longing, and so on. I recommend it to watch it with the person that you love, so you can discuss it and cherish every single moment with them.
