You have to start of with Enrique, the most cheerful and bubbly drama character you'll ever see. I mean, I sometimes hear his hysterical laugh while dreaming.
Go Dok Mi, who we all can relate to. Personally, I was amazed by the development of her character throughout the series. You could see the different faces that she reveals in each new episode, which was quite interesting as well.
I just couldn't leave out the adorable love story of Dong Hoon and the ever so lovable Watanabe-kun! Focussing on their stories a bit as well was kind of a refreshment throughout the series.
With all of that being said, this drama didn't score major points when it came to the whole plot. I'm biased towards series with a plot sequence of "a community life". I'm very fond of these type of stories really, I've watched a lot of anime and series regarding that. But somehow, this story felt very undeveloped and filled with plot-holes most of the time. Would've liked if the creators of the drama left in the "brother", living across Dok Mi, as the main character, I think that aspect would've changed a lot.
Anyway, lovely series for rom-com genre lovers!

Of course, this movie was more brutal, not lacking the bloodbath scenes, a very common Japanese style horror/thriller movie. It was also very emotional, harsh and even a bit ridiculous sometimes (talking about the plot here) but in the end, it all falls in place. A classic indeed, always worth a re-watch with a group of friends or alone.

Great drama overall. Though the ending left many unanswered questions, I would still re-watch this over and over again for the cute and funny moments!

The shipping of the two leads is so real in this drama that it's crazy. They're both really cute and the scenes make you cry sometimes but they definitely leave a fuzzy feeling. I recommend this for cutesy romance lovers. :) Worth a rewatch as well!

I have to start off with the storyline. I've always been quite a fan of mythical creatures, especially stories about Japanese deities and gods in anime. When I first saw that this story revolves around similar folklore beasts and spirits, I was swiftly drawn into it. It was quite a ride seeing the mythical creatures being portrayed by the amazing and super talented actors. I mean, the Goblin and the Grim Reaper's bromance speaks for itself. At first glance, I thought that the main couple, the Goblin and his bride, was kind of strange and unrelatable, but they made such a cute connection during the series. I've been familiar with Kim Go Eun's acting in Cheese In The Trap so it was quite a surprise seeing her act as a bubbly and fun character, unlike the other drama. However, my biggest appreciation of romance goes to the ultimate Grim Reaper and Sunny. Their screen time is so strong and made me quite anxious each and every episode... Their chemistry is unbelievable, they definitely need a separate series! *totally would watch*
The OST was selected perfectly. Loved the little touch of incorporating classical and pop music. The breathtaking shots of the nature and Quebec made the visuals of this drama out of this world unforgettable!
Not only does this drama combine polar genres like comedy, romance, history and tragedy into one harmonized series, but also it combines existential and every day problems with the perception of time. Never has a Korean Drama changed my views on death and love like Goblin. This is worth appearing onto national television it was that good! I'm gonna miss it, but it's also in a need of a re-watch sometime soon!

For all of the Dr Romantic fans our there, this is a long-awaited romance, slice-of-life and medical drama out there. Even when you would think the directors cannot bring anything new to the table, they somehow manage to find a way and impress the viewer in many ways. Personally, while watching season 3, I could not help but reminisce the previous seasons, try to remember the characters and their own stories. For hardcore fans, this season ties in well with the rest of the series and brings up new themes about family, career path, ethics etc. Overall, a must watch for fans of season 1 and 2. For newcomers - please go ahead and have a marathon for all three of the seasons and you really will not be disappointed.
As for the last scene of episode 16 - can we please have a season 4 I beg!!!!

Hands down one of the best medical dramas out there! I was completely captivated with with what seems a quite regular storyline about everyday life of doctors. Just like many stories, this one left us hanging as it presented dilemmas of life and death, rich and poor etc. The richness of the story was built up slowly, as every character in the hospital got their own screen time and a way to showcase it. I loved the main couple in the drama as well, not to mention that they had their steamy first kiss right at episode 1! I just wish there was more of them, but I guess it is not completely a romance show after all. Master Kim's character was out of this world: badass with style, kindhearted and mean at the same time, which I loved. Loved that the 20 episodes presented various sicknesses of all levels, teaching the viewers about health as well. The soundtrack seemed very fitting as well, and blended into the whole vibe of the drama really well. Overall, this is a masterpiece of a medical Kdrama, so if you are into these type of shows, please give this a go. Now, it is time to watch the continuation story of this drama, hopefully it is just as good as this! Was this review helpful to you?

Although I thought it would not be your typical drama, it did have those cheesy Kdrama moments. I do believe that this drama is worth a watch if you are into vibrant, inspiring slice of life series!

Maybe I'm a bit generous with the 10-star rating, but I loved this from the beginning to the end. I'm a huge fan of rom-coms and good stories, and even though the plot of this series is not that unique, I think the characters and the side stories made this drama so much more enjoyable. The story was also fast paced, just like in the original manhwa. Some parts were cheesy and predictable, but made the drama very cutesy and even more delightful. I gotta give it to the actors because without them this show wouldn't be the same. Just like in every drama that he stars in, Park Seo Joon steals the spotlight with his brilliant acting and overflowing handsomeness. Even Park Min Young was the star of this drama - such a beautiful actress, this was THE BEST ROLE for her to play. There were just so many brilliant scenes that I could rewatch again and again. I relive this drama by listening to the OST as well - the songs are mesmerizing and really catchy.
I'm extremely happy that I decided to watch this drama and I'm sure that you'll feel the same after completing it. I might just have to read the original comic book now too because I still can't get over it!

Not gonna lie, I started watching this because of the two main characters and I was not disappointed. They really got into their roles and the romance through the whole series made my heart melt...

As I finally finished watching the final episode, I can gladly say that this was a gem of 2021. I cannot believe I did not like it at first, but the show turned out to be super duper enjoyable in the end.What did we all expect from this drama to be completely honest? For those who have read the webtoon, I will just say the drama does not necessarily have to follow the storyline 100% accurately. In fact, I loved that some elements and the chemistry between additional characters have made the show into its own little thing. First off, I would call this drama a literal real-life anime. Sometimes, the acting and the scenes would be so ridiculously unreal, but it worked out amazingly somehow. Second, I loved the actors and how closely they resemble the webtoon characters. And, as mentioned before, the characters that were not originally in the comics were so essential for the drama that it was a great addition. Despite being team this or that, I felt that the female lead had greater chemistry with Suho in the end (I am on team Seojun by the way). Third, the musical touch for this drama was superb - the OST completely slaps!
It is difficult to come to terms that this show has ended, but it was a fun ride. If you loved it as well, make sure to read the webtoon for a slightly different storyline.
