Goblin (2016)

Not Great, But Still Very Good

I did enjoy this drama. The cast was flawless! Its not often that a drama's lead and second lead couples are equally strong and with the added bonus of a bromance that was every bit as compelling as the romances. The story is beautiful and well told, yet something about it just misses the mark for me.

I guess I didn't quite understand why the Goblin was being punished so severely. And is it me, but was there A LOT of crying? I felt like I cried A LOT. I don't mind "the feels", but by episode 9 it started to feel almost gratuitous. Goblin had many funny scenes as well. The casting was superb! But was there one episode where at least one character did not cry?

I must mention that the OST is AMAZING and definitely contributed to "the feels". I looked forward to hearing Never Far Away each and every episode. 16 episodes was perfect and Gobllin is definitely worth a watch, but this is not a drama I would rewatch, not even for certain scenes. Solid drama, but it's one and done for me.

This drama took me a while to finish because somewhere in the middle made me scared to finish it..(watch it if you want to know ;)) But overall, the creativity of this drama was unique and mesmerizing. Somewhere between all of the episodes made me realize how important life is, and how we should cherish it as if we are going to die tomorrow. (I know we are in quarantine, but there is still stuff we can do even if we are locked down) The actors and actresses really portrait their character significantly. The story is somewhat similar to the 'Hotel Del Luna' but things can't really be the same especially if it's different characters and settings. The cinematography was insane!!!!, the funny moments with Grim and Goblin were hilarious which is the reason why I started watching this drama. The ending kind of made me confused but I sorta understand where they are going at... but I wish Sunny and 'KIM WOO BIN' had more screen time and more "dates". I find their relationship very rom-com -idy than Eun Tak and Goblin. But I still like the romances that they have. The way they first met, first love, and first sadness....? This drama also showed me how dedicated he was to Eun Tak, he was patient to wait for her even if he is a 'LONELY GOD'
This quote; "There is no sadness that lasts for eternity. There is no love that lasts for eternity either." and Eun Tak voted for "Sad love"... This quote teared me up because the commitment she is doing is just sooo amazing and a life lesson. I wish that for anyone who is looking for love or is in love, I wish for yall to be dedicated as them... This is true love!!!
Overall, this made me cry!, laugh, smile, cringe, and made me jealous xD
After watching this, it inspired me to keep going and push on in life!
The comedy in this drama will stay with me forever! HAHAH!
I also loved how Deok-Hwa is the pabo person in the drama...evne though it's mostly Grim and Goblin.
After watching Sungjae in this drama, I began to miss 'WE GOT MARRIED' with JOY T.T
Anyways! This was a fun and memorable moment of me watching GOBLIN.
Watching this drama took me almost 4 MONTHS HAHAHAHAH.
THANK GOD I FINISHED IT THO!!!
AND THAnk you for the ending <3....teared me up but that was a ----- ending <3 <3

I know this is a melodrama to heavy drama series but I have to say I laughed more than I cried watching this drama. Grim Reaper having no name and business card were my favorites, I enjoyed the scenes of Grim Reaper - Kim Shin, -Yoo Deok-hwa and Ji Eun-tak fun moments inside their house. At first i was not sure how to feel about the main leads, but their acting made me fall in love with their characters. They were able to show how love can lighten up even the hardest situations in life. I also like how bold they are in showing their feelings to each other. I love that how they feel is being seen from their faces in their acting. I love Gon Yoo's acting esp when he is fluttered :) And who would not love to watch 3 good-looking male leads and a cute leading lady.

This...Theres no words to describe this drama. It was the best drama I have ever seen. It has been on my watch list ever since i first heard about it last year, and wasnt really that interested. But I was hugely mistaken. Drop what ever you are watching and go watch Goblin now!!! The cast where beautiful, the music was amazing, it was just all round amazing, I shed so many tears for this show, either of saddness and happiness. I hope to who ever watches it next or is currently watching it, that you enjoyed and loved just as much as i did. Beautiful!!!!
Definate Re watch.
