Goblin S2 anyone ^^?
Goblin is my all time favorite! Everything about this show is just pure unadulterated entertainment! Lets not forget the beautiful visuals that is Kim Go Eun and Gong Yoo! Amazing chemistry from beginning till end. Stellar cast, amazing storyline, melodious music that makes this one of a kind show. The concept is so outstanding you cant help but cheer for everyone. Character growth especially for main cast comes in at the right pace and stays with you. Not to include any spoliers but KGE can make you laugh and giggle but also make you cry like a baby. Im so glad Kim Eun-sook picked KGE and Gong Yoo for main leads.Was this review helpful to you?
Also, yeah the relationship between the leads can be uncomfortable or a turn off to some people, specially when he treats her so much like a kid sometimes. Like i get it, she is but bro don't remind us that much if u want this to work for your audience ?.
Overall i enjoyed the drama a lot but i gotta accept that it's very very far from perfect, and that's ok!

A Once in a Lifetime Drama
As a fan of K-Drama, especially Kim Go Eun. I totally recommend you to watch it.I did watching while the drama was still on going, plus without any subtitle cause I can't bear to wait even a day for another episode. And tbh I've watched it over and over again.
Why I gave the story 9.5/10 is because I can't say that this kind of reincarnation is kinda happy ending or what, logically (I know I shouldn't talk about logic or something cause it's a fantasy but I have to) the Goblin (Gong Yoo) is ended up being an immortal and Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun) keep reincarnating and she only have 2 chances left in the last episode. It's painful to imagine that in the end the Goblin must live his life all alone if she has no chances left.
Anyway, I'm still LOVING this drama. It's in my favorite drama list. The casts is BOOM (I love the bromance between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook, awwww they're so cute), the osts are freaking good (I know all of the song, and even remember some exact scene where the song appeared in), the cinematography, the setting, the vibe, the staffs, I love them.

GY and KGE performance is wonderful to behold. They make you believe they are a fated couple and they make viewers want Goblin and Goblin wife to be always together. LDW & YIN performance also very commendable and their 2nd couple status complements the lead pair beautifully. Lastly YSJ is a revelation. It was amazing watching him able to match the light and heavy scenes of his senior costars.
Aside from the off-putting way of endorsement in some scenes, the drama is perfect. Production aesthetics, plot and acting are all top-notch.

Real fantasy, we escape from reality...
Nice storyline for this Kdrama with Kvalues that really make us thing the whole story is just a kind of fairy tale far far away from reality. To me, I would have liked the drama to end on episode 14. I didn't like the last 3 episodes certainly because I am not Korean.If you don't like love stories that are too much deja vu and cliche, if you look for real kisses and passion and dislike stories that deal with destiny and reincarnation, Goblin is really not for you. Neverthless, this drama is worth to be watched for the staging, the music and the casting.

Love Love Love
I have watched this show at least 50 times. I cannot say enough about how I love this show the actors the character the story all of it was wonderful and well written. If you are wondering should you watch this heck yeah please do it. The comedy in this show was priceless, the music fit the show. The acting was so phenomenal I can't even begin to say anything bad about it . I laughed, I cried, I even got a bit angry at times but I never regretted watching.... MUST SEE. The chemistry between the goblin and the Grim reaper had me dying, the bromance was perfect how can a girl like me not wish to be in the same house with these two cuties. The only thing I wish more would be if they did a second season of this show using all the same character because seriously you want to know what happened to them I know I do,Was this review helpful to you?
10 stars just not enough!
If I could give this drama 100 stars I would. I don't like to write long reviews so I'm not going to hear suffice to say that, there are so many dramas to spend my time watching but this one will want you to watch it over and over. I beamed at the adorably cute Kim Go-Eun (can we be besties??), fell hard for Gong Yoo, and laughed like an idiot at Lee Dong Wook (hey guys, can we go fishing together sometime?). Their bromance was on another level. I cried pathetically several times. You will relive the series through the OST, and maybe smile and cry again. Beautiful story, perfect drama.Was this review helpful to you?
What’s not to like
I’m not very good at writing reviews but I have to for this drama! The acting was top notch, the story was beautiful and the ost was incredible. This drama had me crying, laughing and feeling upset at times. I had all the emotions in the spectrum. The 2 main were perfectly cast and the supporting cast felt like the main as well. I was so invested in the secondary relationship as much as the first. The way everything came together was perfect! To be honest it took me a while to actually watch it this drama. But I’m so glad I finally did.Was this review helpful to you?
Truly Worth!!!
My all time favorite Drama is Goblin. I would say this is the best of all the Korean dramas that I have watched.Selection of cast is really amazing, exactly matches their characters in the drama. This is not just the leads every single role played by every cast in the drams is perfect.
Music is awesome. Both songs and the background music is too good.
Graphics was also good.
This drama includes every genre available. I can keep watching it.
Untamed is my favorite Chinese Drama and Goblin is my favorite Korean drama.
I want to thank the directors for producing such nice dramas for us to binge watch. Thank you.
I like watching dramas that come under the fantasy genre :)

Happiness is fleeting and yet we live
Story: A goblin who accidentally made a goblin wife upon saving someone. I love the plot. Fantasy wise, it makes sense and somehow convincing, however there were some irregularities when it comes to time and reasons. The tug-of-war of their emotions and dialogues were kind of strange and vague in episode 4 onwards, fortunately, their communication got better. It had a touch of enough flashback in which I kinda hope they didn't switch the face, the acting of the younger/goryeo version of the second couple were much better. First three episodes and last three episodes were the best, cinematography wise, OST wise and plot-wise. The rest had some draggy moments of the two couples with sprinkles of emotional and funny scenes from other casts and stories of random people.Acting: Eun-tak is indeed shining in this series. She acted very well as a strong-minded and hopeful girl despite her lost and abuse. She represented the character well, who thinks there's good in everything with occasional tantrums and sassiness. Despite the unconvincing dialogues with the goblin in their tug-of-war moments, the acting was appropriate and the music added to the mood. She did great in all her crying scenes. Kim Shin's acting was great too. Wang Yeo, i think, cried way too much after learning the past. His first cries were warranted but then it got over the top. However, the bromance between him and the goblin were cute. Sunny looked great in modern, not so much in historical though. The rest of the casts were convincing enough, including the other Grim Reapers. Deok-hwa was such a cutie and Director Kim was memorable as well.
Music: No complaints. Most of the songs were just perfect for the mood. Sometimes, I just listen to the song and not watch the slow-mo scenes. OSTs are just amazing.
Rewatch Value: I think some cute scenes are rewatchable but I enjoyed this drama because of the message, cinematography and music.
Overall: If it weren't for the draggy parts, this could have been a perfect 10 drama, however, it had some inconsistencies and bad editing that I quite noticed. The time line didn't match as well. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think Euntak's birthday(mentioned by the Goblin) is supposed to be in September and yet on the last episode, her birthday was mentioned in July? Apart from that, the time in between their first meeting, Christmas and the exams and part-timing were all over the place that it got me confused. Even so, I still enjoyed it as it did not affect my overall feeling for this drama. Another is the ending, although I loved the summary of the second couple, I was quite concerned as to how it ended with Eun Tak. She didn't come back as a person and yet she was wearing her uniform? If someone has an explanation for that, feel free to comment. I just didn't get the essence of that ending. I imagined their ending would be accidentally meeting in the streets or something then the camera will mainly focus on their eyes and smiles upon recognition and bam, END. Anyway, the things I loved the most about this series are the message and emotions that come with it. I have watched a few reincarnation dramas but it never made me think about believing it but while watching this, it kind of made me believe it. Somehow, it can be true. Sometimes, we have that sudden feeling of closeness or goodness to a stranger. It's not because they have this gentle aura but because you just have that certain emotion with someone. The drama has more thought-provoking sentiments about life, faith(religion), fate/destiny, death(including suicide) and most importantly, love(in general). Romance isn't exactly the best thing in this, the main leads chemistry weren't great but mostly convincing for the drama. For me, It had a sibling-love vibe at first but it didn't give me that he's-too-old-for-her vibe as well. I think it's worth the hype, no matter how short their happiness is, they definitely made it worth it.

I may have found the three perfect housemates.
Much has been said about the undeniable chemistry between Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun, but I would love to highlight the unmatched comedic trio of Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and Yook Sung Jae. Those three never missed a beat. Their character worked on having a unique bond and they it built overtime. In contrast, there is a soft and tender partnership between Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na.The plot may have had some issues, but ultimately, it's the strength of the cast that carried this show. However brief their scenes might be, Kim Min Jae and Kim So Hyun also made an impression. The same can be said for Jung Hae In's guest role. I think it took care of its characters and how well they should blend with each other.
