goblin starts out with a fantasy story that is really damn good, first episodes takes a while so u scroll down to find goblin's episodes r actually 90 minutes long, okay so thats a fancy sneaky way to advertise a 24 episode show being 16 longish episodes,
acting is great , nearly every actor/actress feels perfect for the role except for the little important main lead actress Kim Go-Eun, she feels so wrong casted on so many levels, something just feels off from first time u see her on the screen, 12 years difference between her and gong yoo just adds oil to the chemistry on fire already.., every other single relationship between the characters is perfect, the chemistry is just amazing inbetween the rest of the cast
execution: this drama was amazingly executed but it suffers horribly from the most common trend korea does, IT DRAGS THE HECK OUT, if u thought 90 minutes can be tolerable at first 5 episodes w8 till u reach some filler episodes around 12~ holly molly how can there be literally Many filler scenes in such a drama?
overall: this drama is well written, it drags Alot,if u can get over that and Kim Go-Eun, its enjoyable

The acting was so good and the story was really hilarious .
I laughed for the all time it lasted. It's a pity it was so short. I would have loved it even more if it was a little bit longer.u

It is a perfect mix of what i enjoy the most : action, love , "broken but still trying-hard in life" characters, sweetness, suspense, and even funny moments.
The plot is interesting in itself but also mainstream among dramas, the journalistic aspect brought an original side to the other shows mainly related to politics and business.
But to me, what really made this drama a total hit is the acting.
The characters were great, funny, appealing , struggling with life but mainly very well acted, even second leads were amazing (special mention to Kim Mi-Kyung who totally stole the show)!
The love story totally worked out with the suspense/action side of the show, and was overloaded with chemistry and cuteness, but also hardship for those two main characters who both had a very rough life.
I think it played a perfect role of balance ( in addition to funny moments) in this dramatic plot.
The action part was thrilling to me , and unlike lots of other dramas, it didn't get too long or boring towards the end. (which is extremely rare)
The OSTs were great (and stuck in my head for a month).
I really went through all different types of emotions watching this drama, and was so devastated when i finished it, i even wish i was able to erase it from my memory and discover it again!
Anyway, to me , it was an excellant show, who gave me a very bittersweet kind of feeling and i strongly recommend it.

The Heirs is a perfect equivalent to the famous American TV series "Gossip Girl" if I were to describe it. It shows the ugly side of the wealthy and how, pretty much, every rich person is arrogant and evil. There were so many cheesy, cliche, cringe-worthy scenes that were absolutely absurd. Especially the very talked about American scenes and how americans are portrayed by the ridiculous stereotypes. I have to admit that the American accent in the USA + the surfer boy doing drugs scene left me speechless. I'd re-watch this drama again for a good laugh, seriously. Regarding the business and family matters, I couldn't comprehend who's screwing up who and there are still many unanswered questions in my head that left me confused. I just can't see this drama as realistic, it reminds me more of a shojo anime than a serious drama.
If you're a big fan of shows that focus on school and family relationships, you might like this one. But I feel as though this story just doesn't belong in the Korean drama world. Honestly, Americans do this genre of drama better.

The plot was not exactly great , in the sense that it really appears as a terrible decision for those two to try to be a couple again , but the acting was pretty good.
And what i found really interesting is that the main female character showed a very human side , i couldn't help but still like her even tough she seemed like the most horrible gold digger ever .
It made me forget the rational side (if we look at the facts, she abandoned her husband without real explanations mainly because he was struggling financially and then came back once he was rich, so she is not a good person, lol ) and really forced me to see the emotional one , with a nice evolution of the main characters , who are both trying their best , but still make mistakes.
It also pictures pretty well the fact that in Korea, money and financial stability are major standards to be accepted in the society and even more to get married.
So , more than the acting and the basic plot , what i really enjoyed in this drama , is how human and vulnerable the main leads were.
I ended up cheering their love story , so yes, i recommend this show !

To me, it's a perfect mix between a super sweet romance with great chemistry , a bunch of very good actors playing amazingly funny characters , and an original aspect brought by weightlifting, a not-so-commun sport.
The story is really well managed , i thought that the timing of the different events worked out really good.
The plot was kind of classic , but the weightlifting part added some spice and lots of funny situations in it.
The romance part was so sweet ( like melted caramel *^*), i really didn't want this drama to end. The acting was really good, and had its content of well done dramatic moments even though the comic part was way more present.
Appealing characters, funny story overloaded with sweetness!
If there is any negative aspects in this drama , they're easily overtaken by the good ones, so i totally recommend it !!!

Most of us "drama watchers" who are in experts levels... usually get more picky from what we were in the past...
This Kinda drama is much different... although the 85% of the cast are new actors/ rookies and maybe first roles... but once you watch you wont believe that the leads (who made me fall in love even more with this drama) this is their first drama like EVEr...
the environment of this BL drama was kind "accepting" ... since its a BL drama... well its not gay but its two people fell in love .. and their problems are as simple as a high schooler experiencing feelings for someone who is just going through the same thing,
the music, story and the cast are a very good combination and its a re watchable drama for me like 10 times in row ???
thats its how its good!

Without those expectations, I probably wouldn't have finished it either , because the story was a bit slow and lacking in different areas and mostly because the romance part was not working out at all for me.
The main leads had, in my opinion, no real chemistry and their romance had almost nothing to do in the middle of the plot .
For the rest , i really enjoyed the bromance part, the training and the maturing of Hwarang guys , and that's what kept me on this show until the end.
Some bad and good acting , a pretty good cast , i discovered Park Hyung sik's acting through Hwarang and was pleasantly surprised , he might not be the greatest actor of all time , but gives a sweet feeling!
To conclude, the plot was partly interesting (birth and development of hwarang unit) , partly out of place and boring (romance part) , the acting was not bad but not perfect either , and some very funny and light moments that ended up working out way better than the tragic ones .
I do recommend it , but without big expectations !

I love the chemistry the chemistry of the lead couple - on cam and off cam (based on BTS).
However, I find the story messy with a lot of fillers. I was disappointed with the writer of the drama. The cast, the chemistry and the soundtrack are very commendable.
I just wish that the writer tried harder in providing better content for the actors to work on. I know a lot of the fillers are meant to be fun but they became tiring because of their redundancy.
Nonetheless, I will finish watching the drama instead of dropping it. The cast and their chemistry are too good to give them up.

Story: The story is so refreshing, it is very light yet you still have the urge to watch it and it not like other light cliche dramas. I love the idea of using sports! I love how the story tells about what athletes feel and how do athletes live despite of their problems in life. This youth, sport, light drama is perfection!
ACTING/CAST: Joon Hyung and Kim Bok Joo are PERFECT for each other. Their acting is so real that I thought they dated in real life. I love their connection, especially when they are in a relationship. The kiss feels so real, the hugs, etc. Kim Bok Joo (Lee Sung Kyung) is so cute and beautiful at the same time, I love her acting cute because she is cute! Nam Joo Hyuk is perfect on the Joon Hyung character. He is really good at teasing, he made me cry, etc. Kyung Soo Jin plays perfectly on the Si Ho character, I love the acting of her being obsessed and depressed from her problems. And other actors/actresses did well too. Really awesome.
MUSIC: THE OST IS SO CUTE and it brings you to a different world. I even downloaded the OST and some background music (I don't know if it is weird or crazy to download the background), because you feel like you are also in the drama and it really relaxes you. The soundtracks are cute and it makes you cry for some songs. It is perfect.
OVERALL: It... is... PERFECT! I can't stop repeating the drama. It has been months now and I still can't get over it. You should watch it if you are into youth and light dramas. It really deserved to have higher ratings on Korea. It's sad that it is a bit low on ratings on viewers.

But gotta say that the OSTs/music is very nice and addictive:)
Watch it for some eye-licious time.
