Other than the usual "overrated" comments from people who haven't seen it, I've barely seen a negative comment. The response is overwhelmingly positive, which is then reflected in its ratings on tv in Korea and its high ranking on Netflix. Trending on X and TikTok as well.

Korean sources seem to be operating with a different peak rating for Goblin than what is available in the rating overview on Wikipedia. It's strange, and I don't know which is correct. Soompi got their info from Korean articles on Naver.

That's what I thought, too.

Well, no wonder you couldn't get into it if you were skipping around, watching barely 20% of the actual runtime. To actually get immersed in a drama you have to, you know, watch it.

She's besties with KSH and they both did The Producers by this writer.

Not yet, they are both reviewing the offer.

That doesn't matter, really. Plenty of dramas that weren't nominated or didn't win at the Baeksang are remembered more favorably than the ones that did. Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo was not nominated for a single Baeksang, for instance. Same with While You Were Sleeping (except popular actress for Suzy). They're two of the most popular dramas that people are still discovering today. Meanwhile CLOY lost most of their nominated categories to When the Camellia Blooms, but the former is much more iconic.

Top 5 rated cable dramas and their rating at episode 10:
1. The World of the Married - 22.913%
2. Queen of Tears - 18.952% 🆕
3. Reborn Rich - 18.337%
4. Crash Landing on You - 14.633%
5. Sky Castle - 11.298%

QOT pacing ahead of all of them, except TWOM, which finished strong at 28.371%.

Hae-in never having filed the document would be the easiest "fix" to the divorce issue when they get back together. But I imagine it is possible to rescind even if it has been filed. Otherwise it's easy enough to get married again. And an excuse to get the families together again for a new celebration. Maybe this time they would all get along better. 😁

Many think she is lying about it not being Soo-cheol's baby, and that it's actually his. But the marriage was "fake" so there's no reason she couldn't have had the kid with someone else.

Episode 10 hit 19% in the ratings! Well, 18.952% to be exact. 20% may be coming next week already 😍 It has now overtaken Reply 1988 (18.803%) and is the 5th highest rated cable drama of all time.

Six 85-minute episodes is a lifetime in television. 8.5 hours. That's a full Netflix season, or double the entire runtime of Soundtrack #1. There is plenty of time to make it all come together.

It's going to be romance and melodrama. Someone has added comedy for some reason, but this director is known for romance and melodrama. It won't be a comedy, though I'm sure it will have many funny moments, as both the leads are great at that.

Finally the page is up! I really hope they accept this. Loved her in True Beauty. Love him in everything.

I just love this drama and I'm still thinking about it. So beautiful. One of my favorite first episodes ever.

Not sure I've ever seen a romcom that had neither enough rom, nor enough com. The leads didn't have much chemistry after the bickering stage, and the drama got way too serious. A misfire for me. (That's not even talking about the treatment of the SML; don't include a gay character if you're not going to do it justice on a storytelling level. I get Korea is Korea, but even through that lens it was so disappointing.)

First was Cheon Song-yi 👽💫

I do wonder how they will have Hae-in recover (because obviously she can't die). I guess she can have treatment if her WBC goes up again. I just hope it's written well so it doesn't feel like she's gotten some miraculous reprieve on death's door due to plot armor. But with this writer, I think we're in safe hands!

You might want to examine why you feel that way. Perhaps in therapy?

Some people were also shipping her with Eunseong. I hope they are feeling embarrassed.
