Still pretty good the second time around

Context: I watched this first in 2017 and then re-watched it earlier this 2020.

After watching Goblin the first time, I remember that one of the reasons I liked to so much was because of all the plot twists in the story. I didn't expect the challenges they were presented with as they came. And this made me enjoy the show, wanting to know how each piece of information connected to another. I also like how they connected the present situation with the past of the Goblin.

I also really enjoyed the relationships among the main cast. Aside from the Goblin and bride, I also like watching the interactions with Sunny, Grim Reaper and the nephew. The bromance between the Goblin and the Grim Reaper was also really cute and nicely developed.

One of the issues I had with the story was the relationship between the Goblin and his bride. It was difficult for me to accept a love story between a high school student and an immortal being who looked like he was in his late 30s. If I didn't focus on their supposed romance, I think their chemistry suited them well as a HS student and a 39 year old man.

What I appreciated the most after re-watching it was that some of my questions answered (I didn't bother re-watching back in 2017) And I felt like I could accept the way the show ended when I didn't really like it before.

I also have to say that re-watching this lost of the magic for me. It used to be one of my favorites, but it's not one of my top 5 anymore. Whether from re-watching it or because I found other dramas I liked better, I'm not so sure. I probably won't watch it again for a long time.

If you're trying to decide whether or not to watch this, I still highly recommend it. If you enjoy shows with an interesting plot and good twists, interesting characters that also have their own stories (aside from the main) and don't mind the fantasy element, you should check this show out.
