DO NOT MISS THE SCENE AFTER THE CREDITS.

Darn it! I knew if Zi Feng new about her being a girl depending on the timeline it would take some of the awesomeness out. The whole epicness was that he debated about his love because he thought Ya Nuo was a girl. I'm trying to place it exactly when and where. I think it's when she tracks Zhe Rui down after he was "framed". It helps, but I'd have preferred it if it could have been when they were making out.



I wanted to see the brief "holy shit!" then "oh thank goodness!" Oh well.



Overall this was a solid ending. Slow points and obligated flashbacks.



Finally Ya Nuo's parents are brought back and the fabulous cousin!!!!!!! Xia Jing I missed you, I'm sorry you got so clean cut out for the last part of the show. Zi Han and Guang Chao finally are given some time to give us closure.



Na Na and Qing Yang have real time. However, I am gravely disappointed. Ya Nuo and Zi Feng have some of the hottest drama kisses out there, but they only get hugging and pecks. It's beautiful. But darn it I wanted PASSION!



Overall I think they could have done better for some the side stories and characters. While it did a better job then most dramas, it could have taken all it's side stuff further. Wasted potential on many of the characters and plots. Still a solid enough closer. I mile



It's all made up for by the ending after the credits!!!!! Hall make out scene to the hotel!!!! DO NOT MISS IT!

Wait! Zi Feng may have known all along and Qing Yang and Na Na are having a huge misunderstanding.

Wait! Zi Feng may have known all along and Qing Yang and Na Na are having a huge misunderstanding. Oh, dear. Firstly when did Zi Feng find out--though I find it clever that his dad did too. Or why are they still calling her he? Just out of habit? Ah!



Now Na Na's come in on the wrong part of the conversation and left for the important stuff. This is a trope I hate in any story! If you're going to eavesdrop you darn well better listen to the whole thing before storming off.



Overall this episode does a really great job of wrapping things up and moving us along. It looks like the big send off will be Na Na and Qing Yang making up, and then Ya Nuo finally coming out as a girl.



I won't lie. The pacing is slow and I really wanted to fast forward a lot. I do enjoy the message of hope and forgiveness. Also for redemption and fessing up to your wrong doings. Though I'm still annoyed that the slow parts are taking away from the other cast that has been totally dropped! Oh, well. Here's to the final episode.

Oh, my. Drama cliches abound.

Goodness between Feng Teng old friend wanting him and this new dramatic female entering at the end, it's gonna be even more drama clichés.



Really! Ha-ha. I'm still enjoying myself, but the writing really isn't attempting anything new. I see why there are so many recommends for people who like Love O2O, but Love O2O had great side character stories and a unique/wonderful romance.



Shan Shan was working for 4 years at the company already? Time did not flow well in the story. Not to mention that there is practically 0 romance between Feng Teng and Shan Shan.



It's all very underwhelming. I'm disappointed that there hasn't been any romantic build mainly outside of drama clichés and we're 4 episodes in!



Still fun.

Step backwards.

Huh. Well now we've stepped backwards from side character development. Not to mention adding a love interest of Big Boss's! Ha-ha. Still fun, but I really wanted it to go more.



I love that light bulb/ladder boy is a total romance.



Feng Teng is just going the long way round to win Shan Shan. *sighs* Shan Shan is at least picking up on Feng Teng actually moving in on her. Ha-ha! I can't believe her friends wouldn't support her in this. Though it is good to step back and work on ones self instead.



Love how Shan Shan handled moving on from Zheng Qi. I was really nervous how that was going to happen.

More of the other characters.

This episode holds a lot more promise for the story as it actually develops into the side characters more. FINALLY! Honestly not much has been going on for Boss and Me. Not even for the leads. It's fun, but pondering.



Hopefully this episode is the birth of better pacing. Not to mention better wooing from Big Boss. Ha-ha. It is refreshing that Feng Teng is undecided about how to approach her, nervous, and afraid of how she might change if they did date. The last worry is probably the most realistic one. However, everyone changes.



This episode had a ton of great moments. Most importantly that I think Feng Teng's secretary is trying to play match maker! He-he.

My face hurts from smiling!

My face hurts from smiling so much! Ha-ha. It is fun and ladder boy was not totally forgotten and I like where he is headed off. Thank you dear writer for letting him have a HEA instead up pining after Shan Shan now that the boss has set his sights to her.



Though I'm really wondering if Zheng Qi is interested in Shan Shan or not? Or if he just lost the game?



Some of the freeze frame was back, still don't care for it. At least they were better shots.



You know Feng Teng really hasn't been developed yet, and I think that's where a huge part of the disconnect is coming from. He's an idea to propel the fantasy of the romance. The cold boss who has stalked the lead and now wish's to woo her in a way she won't realize she is being wooed.



Ah. Satisfying, but I want more.

Okay, the cynic in me rebels. BUT the hopeless romantic in me is squeeing!

Okay, the cynic in me rebels. BUT the hopeless romantic in me is squeeing! Sometimes it's just so refreshing to have such an upbeat lead. Sure there are others, but they're always pulling themselves out of some kind of funk. Shan Shan has spunk, and I can't help relate to someone who enjoys their lunchtime and dances when it snows. I feel like I've found my kindred spirit! Ha-ha. (Kidding. Kind of.)



While it's creepy he is technically spying on her, I like that he did fall in love with her. Over the simple joy she finds in life. As he said, the simple enjoyment of a lunchbox. It makes me wonder how he'll approach her eventually.



Though I do feel bad for ladder boy. I mean he's so nice and was a friend to her from the beginning. Poor boy.



So I admit it this isn't ground breaking, but it's warm and simple. Sometimes simple sweet romances are all you need.



On the plus side the freeze frames and cartoons have stopped.

A little everywhere, but fun.

This drama goes a little bit everywhere trying to establish itself. It's not the worst setup, but not the best.



There's a few key things I don't like. Excessive use of sped up scenes to make the story go faster. I admire they want to keep the pacing going, but it's annoying after too much use. Freeze scenes for the "action" bits. I hope that doesn't stay. I don't find the use of cartoons to work. I actually really want to see the actors faces. I can see why they want to do it for day dream scenes, but I hope they don't use it too much.



Overall it's an okay setup. I think t's funny that Shan Shan loved the idea of the hiring department accidently falling a sleep and clicking her through. Yet the fact that she might have been picked for her "panda blood", AKA AB, she doesn't like it. Though being a blood bank would probably terrify me. In fact, I'd find a new job ASAP.



So far I like Shan Shan she's caring, up beat, and tries her best. She knows her flaws. She was also smart enough to realize that she was a blood bank. I'm very curious as to where the drama will go from here.

Ah, a chronic liar.

I had a feeling Song Ji Won was a chronic liar. Among few other things. It's a shame how things turned out for Eun Jae finally trusting in someone. It feels like so much is being left out of certain things so that they can cram in before the final episode.



I mean! Wham! The beginning of this episode. Holy drama. I thought something bad would happen when Doo Yeong Felt slighted over Ye Eun getting over him. He had an inferiority complex and there was a hint of some physical abuse in the relationship before. In the end when they dragged him out in his prison jumper it was a well delivered message: don't date guys like me.



Deep stuff aside.



Eun Jae's story is definitely dark and her lack of feeling with the insurance guys investigating definitely brought her to a scary place. It scares me how it's going to play out for her. On the happy side I'm happy to see her boyfriend back. I feel like so much was left out between them! They're so cute together and I get why she's pulling away with her big secret haunting her. Like I said this is intense.



I also felt horrible for my SONG! Liar Song apparently. She's so lonely. Her actions of lying tend to keep people at arms length. So I feel for her when she wanted someone to come to her.



This episode again showcases how much these girls have grown together and care for one another. Personally I would have enlisted the delivery guy further. However, girl power wins! I loved that Ye Eun still tried to get in there and help her girls.



Wow, the end is near. I don't know how this is going to wrap up! Definitely a drama with such amazing writing that it deserved more length. Something I rarely get to say about dramas.

The colors really are important.

There's been a lot of speculation about the color beige as it seems like the whole cast is where it. So far it's been beige and then the brighter scheme in Ra Bong Hee's present. However, in the cliff flashback we see So Hee in color. Also, they're showing the entire island cast in white towards the end. Clearly the color scheme is going to mean important things for the story.



Red. Red is going to mean something and seeing as So Hee suddenly has red on during what looked like her plummeting to her death, and then Ra Bong Hee when she sees everyone in white. So Hee is also in vivid tones then.



Speculations aside I love how ambitious this is going to be. It really could mess with your mind and keep you guessing. Not to mention that even though I'm pretty sure that was the death of a character, the writing still kept me smiling and laughing. (Even while laughing I felt guilty because I'm pretty sure that was the first official--that we know of--island death.)



Overall fantastic! What a great show to start of my drama new year! Clearly a lot of time and though has gone into this script. Someone may have been inspired by the USA Lost, but the writers are going to make it their own. Plus, I love all of the acting.



Side note: I'm baffled as to why the ratings in Korea are so low! It feels like they rarely reward shows that try to break the K-drama mold and deliver something better. Here's hoping word of mouth will get this show picked up in the ratings so that we can get more dramas like this.

Very promising start.

Even though I'm a bit tired of the trope of having the "end" at the beginning and then flashback to events it does set the story up well. Creating a mystery of whether or not there is one survivor. Then flashback so that we can meet everyone else. Of course making us agonize as to whether or not any of them make it to the end.



I like the idea of this mystery between the idols and what went on on in the past before they made it big. Also, the idea of Jun Oh as disgraced idol who just keeps clinging on. The scene where he tried to mooch off of everyone else's fame is hilarious. Yet sad.



The first episode clearly promises smart cinematography. Tons of lovely shots to be found, especially the crash. It's a decent setup, but it bounces around just a little too much. Not to mention that I don't think a special task force "police" can tell the victim that they're an inconvenience and bully them like that. Pretty sure the girl would have someone else in the room on her side at the very least. Not to mention immedidatly putting her on another plain and then telling her that they "kind of looked, but stopped due to money which they'll unconventionally have to start the search up again."



Crazy. I"m curious to find out who will survive the crash and how the story will progress. Personally I want Bong Hee to come into her own and show them all what "real strength" is. (AKA please let this girl have survival skills! Please!!) Like she might not be the best stylist, but she knows how to deal with hardship.



Anywho, I have hopes for this drama and this is a pretty solid start.

It will never be a masterpiece for me.

It will never be a masterpiece for me. Well, outside of the cinematography and OST. Those to things are clearly masterful. This is so beautiful to look at and the soundtrack is well utilized. Sadly, emotionally this will probably never grip me for the romance. There just isn't enough development. Not to mention that the goblin spends a lot of time depressed and treating the female lead like a dog. (Head pat. A head pat.)



It happens with books, instalove. I hate it no matter the storytelling format. So while I accept that they are a couple, I have very muted feelings for them. I'm also bummed that the other subplots are barely present. It's too fast for the main couples romance (non-existent) and barely developing the rest of the stories.



Though I loved the ending bit. We're all pretty sure why the blade did that. She's technically not his bride yet. So while I like what she did for the end scene, I doubt it will work. (Or if it does his mind will be altered.)



At least this drama delivers a consistent level of quality. so thanks. Great cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to less mopey scenes, and maybe fewer flashbacks. Goblin is 16 episodes long. It doesn't have time for that.

That was an intense episode and I'm not just talking about the womance!

That was an intense episode and I'm not just talking about the womance! Phew! That cliffhanger is scary, they better let us now what happened with Yi Na and the drowning. From the previews though it looks like they'll probably keep us, and Oh Jong Gyoo/creeper, in suspense.



I'm so proud of my girls for all going to fill in for Jin Myeong when she couldn't make her part time job. AND I'm proud of Jin Myeong! Now if she could really just tell that jerk boss/pervert off! Guys like him make it so hard for woman to go out and make it happen. Trying to keep them as nothing more then sex objects. +_+ I had a boss like that once . . . (he got what he deserved.)



This was a super fun episode and I love seeing Eun Jae's budding romance and Ye Eun's closing romance. Ye Eun better be dumping him! Don't blame the woman, blame the man. You're the one seeing him.



Overall the humor was great! Between getting ready to watch porn together and teaming up to help Jin Myeong the girls really were working the womance. I just wish that Jin Myeong could join in more, though it was all so terribly cute when they were walking home together!



Wonderful episode and I really do believe this is gonna be one of 2016's top dramas for me.

The famous leather jacket enter my life!

Okay I remember seeing actor Chen Baron--though I didn't know who he was at the time--in this leather jacket! It blew up my MDL feeds for a bit and I have to say that even though I didn't have an interest in this drama I knew about it! I've been waiting for it to enter my drama life for a while now! So here it is, episode 11!



That said this was painful! Another stupid plot trope I'm not happy that Bromance is deciding to linger on. The father amnesia thing has found a place, grudgingly, and it's developing well. However, Bromance is killing me with all these close calls! Well shot but annoying!



Na Na! She saved this episode for me. You go girl, get whom you want! I love that she's fearlessly going after him and making her desire known. She's not over the top, which is good since I'm sure Wei Qing Yang couldn't stand that! My cutie! I really enjoy the two together and their developing relationship. I think there's a surprise about the house Na Na wants to buy. Oh, and I'm sorry there's no way he couldn't have ripped up his shirt like that. It looks like really well made cloth, still so manly.



Okay, so the pacing is off and it's a bit boring. This episode is still speckled with fun and entertaining things to keep it not so bad. Especially Feng's facial expressions as he shows off his shooting skills to Pi Ya Nuo. The motorcycle scene doesn't hurt either.



This is why I shouldn't watch the previews though, because they set me up! Either I'm gonna love it if Pi Ya Nuo actually tells him the whole truth. Or I'm gonna hate that they setup to seem like the confession was coming. It's a mind game!

Wei Qing Yang's face during that kiss scene gave me such awesome feels.

Wei Qing Yang's face during that kiss scene gave me such awesome feels. Actually everyone's reactions did. I love that they all support and love them. Wanting Du Zi Feng and Pi Ya Nuo to find happiness together. Knowing the ones most important to them support them. Not to mention that his amnesia dad doesn't really care and is actually happy for them. >_< I think that means even with his memorie intact he'd support them.



That said I hate this framing plot with Chu Zhe Rui. Not to mention how quickly Pi Ya Nuo turns on him. If the man kept her biggest secret for how long, he would not have turned on her ever. Sheesh. In less it really turns out he did it I'm very ashamed of Pi Ya Nuo!



As I've said the coisin is so awesome! I'm so glad she showed up and I really want her to be friends with Na Na.



Speaking of Na Na. I loved Wei Qing Yang and Na Na's reactions. I really missed that as the focus has been more on her and her father. I love how she makes all the bold moves and Qing Yang is just all shocked, but loves it. That sly smile. I see it.



Overall better than the last one. while I didn't like that the kiss was "forced" it turned out pretty great.
