Emotional ? Rollercoaster
The only reason I gave this drama a chance was because of Gong Yoo. I've been his fan since Coffee Prince and haven't seen him in many K drama since. Although the story starts off a little slow, it quickly picks up and draws you into the main characters lives and issues. With this drama I laughed, I cried (and I mean ugly cried) along with the characters. I would highly recommend this drama to most people if for no other reason than the OST, however this drama (in my opinion) had everything. Two thumbs up!??Cet avis était-il utile?
A couple of fillers at the start of each episode. They were effective as it reminded me of events that happened. It also took me a couple of episodes to settle into the story properly but by the 7th/8th episode, I was definitely hooked. I''m glad that I didn't drop or put this kdrama on hold. The best episodes IMO are from episode 9 onwards.
The story was really well put together. Even though I didn't really know much about how goblins and grim reapers work in this kdrama, I got to learn some things.. The bromance between the two male leads was great! HAha definitely one of the best in kdrama, no doubt.
The acting was another outstanding aspect of this kdrama! Gong Yoo is such an amazing actor. I remember seeing my first work of his in Train to Busan. I always found him to be an amazing actor. Dong Wook was someone who could deliver a specific emotion just like that. He has such an expressive face. When he was sad, I was sad too. I was moved by his acting the most. Lead actresses KGE and YIN played their parts exceptionally well as well. This whole kdrama was just ethereal.
Finally, the music was SO BEAUTIFUL. I loved all the songs I heard. They played a great role in helping me feel the emotions as I, a viewer, should be feeling at particular scenes. If you don't want to watch this kdrama, at least give the OSTs a chance because they're absolute masterpieces.
I would definitely rewatch this again one day when I have the time. I would probably skip some parts (like the fillers) but I'd definitely be in it for the funny scenes ^_^
BTW Sung Jae did well with his role. It bought some extra fun and ease to all those intense scenes.
Overall, this kdrama is a 9.5 for me

So, I had always heard this drama was a must once you started in the kdrama world and I finally this week I thought ok, why not? (I started watching kdramas in 2018, mind you) and as I was watching the first episodes, I saw people commenting oh this is my 4th or 7th time watching this drama and I thought you have watched the same show over and over that many times??? Well, now after finishing it in three days, and after crying buckets of tears, I can say that I understand why someone would watch this again. The acting is AMAZING. At first I thought it was going to be a very heavy drama so I was very surprised and happy by all the humour in it, the bromance between Goblin and the Grim Reaper it's amazing, I loved it so much. The leads are great... I have my reserves because of the age gap, I like that they kept things innocent while she was young...... but still at times it was weird to watch, specially because of how young the actress would act, the skipping, the voice, and it kind of felt like he was acting like a father at times too. But despite that, I really felt some great chemistry between them.The music was incredible, the song used for the opening has been etched in my heart, seriously. The scenery and photography were lovely, stunning.
I did find the story gripping, contrary to what I have read from some people here.... hence why I finished it in three days. i have to confess I am quite upset by the ending of the leads, I honestly felt that what happened in the second half of the final episode was not necessary......Someone here said it was basically like they started from scratch and I agree. Was the point to break the audience's hearts even more? To teach us a lesson? I don't know, I am honestly upset.... I really don't think it was necessary.
You can tell I have just finished watching it and my tears have barely dried, lol. Would I watch it again? Most likely..... in a long time, though. It was a hell of a ride. Absolutely intense and emotional.
What did you guys think of it???

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.

the drama has a perfect mix of an enticing story with conditions that keep you on edge every episode, so many fckn feels that are all over the place, actually funny humor that is unique to this show, a lovable cast that you can't help but grow attached to, the most amazing cinematography and an i c o n i c soundtrack that gets stuck in your head after one episode. it's pretty much the ultimate package and doesn't lack in anything.
to top this all off, goblin is one of those shows where you just continue watching and easily become addicted. every k-drama is meant to function that way to keep your attention, but this is the only drama where i didn't move, sleep or eat until i finished it and i regret nothing.
if you still haven't watched this drama even after literally everybody talking about it, you're severely missing out and i recommend you to start right fckn now.
p.s many thanks to goblin for introducing me to lee dong wook, who is my favourite actor now. if you liked the grim reaper x sunny ship, you might wanna check out ''touch your heart'' next, as they're the main characters in that drama too. i like to think this was the reincarnated life they led after goblin ended.

Un drama che va visto assolutamente.
Per scrivere questa recensione ci ho messo un po' di tempo perché la visione di questo drama mi ha lasciato con talmente tante emozioni che le dovevo prima digerire.La trama di questo drama fantasy è particolare e molto affascinante, ti cattura dalla prima all’ultima puntata. Passavo da momenti in cui morivo dalle risate a momenti in cui le lacrime non riuscivano a rimanere negli occhi. Il cast è eccezionale e la chimica tra i personaggi è percepibile in ogni scena. Le musiche poi sono bellissime e inserite alla perfezione in ogni momento. Il finale mi è piaciuto molto ma mi ha lasciata un po' con l’amaro in bocca ma questa è una opinione personale.
Un drama che va visto assolutamente.

First of all, the storyline is very unique and sweet. From the very first episode it pushes you to the edge of your seat and makes you feel with the characters. Although the episodes run up to 90 minutes, I never felt like they were trying to protract the story.
In addition, the actors’ excellent performance make a major contribution to this circumstance. It is inevitable to not feel any emotional attachment to the characters. I can’t even count how often they made me laugh out loud or shed litres of tears.
The chemistry of the two couples is so intense, sweet and tragic that it even made my heart flutter. The Goblin and Eun Tak as well as Sunny and The Grim Reaper are just so sweet together. You can’t get enough of them. Besides that, the bromance of the Grim Reaper and the Goblin is just spectacularly hilarious. In my opinion, it is definitely one of the best parts of this Drama. I replayed their scenes just way too often.
All in all, Goblin is definitely a must see drama. If you haven’t watch it yet… what are you waiting for? You won’t regret it and I’m sure you will love it as much as I do. I can’t even express the emptiness I felt in my heart after finishing this show.

nas listas de DEVO assistir!
TvN mais uma vez, sem surpresas, arrasando com seus dramas dramáticos :PGoblin sem dúvidas é um drama que deve ser assistido.
A história realmente inicia um pouco monótona, gerando até uma vontadezinha de abandonar (motivo que eu dei 9,5 nesse quesito).. porém a atuação do elenco supera demais essa vontade!
TODOS os atores desse drama estão de parabéns! quem devia ser amado foi muito amado e quem devia ser odiado foi muito odiado também.
teve choro, riso, amizade, romance... e um dos melhores Bromances do universo dos doramas :) Goblin + Ceifador = melhor dupla! s2
Então, para quem curte dramas com seres imortais, destino, romance e um pouco de comédia, eu recomendo que assistam e julguem por si mesmos :)

I had my reservations on watching this drama at first but, oh boy am I glad that I resisted. I was hooked since the first episode and never did it fail to surprise me as the story progresses.
This is one drama that doesn't have love triangle storyline, no forced or guilty feeling romance (which is rare for korean dramas not to have, and that's what I like about this drama). What you will see are just sweet and even funny romance scenes.
The cinematography and music are simply perfect. And the chemistry among all the cast is also great.
For those who have not seen this drama, what are you waiting for?

The story is unique. You can't decide which ending will be served. I tried to figure out the ending at first with my own fantasy. But You have to watch it till the end to know the real ending. And it's full of surprises.
The musics are loveable. I can hear this soundtracks day by day without getting bored. And every soundtrack make me remember the scenes.
I highly recommend this drama for you.
If you trying to watch your first korean drama, this is perfect for you.

But the cast was so endearing, it's Gong Yoo's first drama back in so long, his chemistry with Lee Dong Wook was so on point, Shin & Grim Reaper were adorkable beta heroes kdramaland don't always get, and I'm a sucker for fantasy about gods so I stuck on.
It might have started with getting entertained only through Shin's first love squeeing, but gradually per episode, I was feeling more for the OTP. Once Eun Tak admitted her neediness came from a place of fear of being alone, it's truly wondrous to watch her settle down and mature. I've grown to appreciate how good their relationship is, finally not keeping secrets from each other and just a great support system for one another. They chose to fight their destiny together, and not go all noble idiotic on me (or rather noble idiocy I can get behind on).
Once the show finally got over the first pulling of the sword out of the way, the pacing improved and slowly built up. When most of kdramas lose their way at the end, Goblin is part of that 1% that saved the best for last and went out with a bang, leaving me with all the feels and tears that makes it all worth it after all. Faults and all, I'll always treasure the drama for what it has done for the kdrama fantasy romance genre (which I'm craving more of). And like the rest of Goblin fandom, I know I'll forever feel a little bit blue when the rain falls.

Were people paid to promote this?
There is no story really to be honest. A grandpa who doesn't look like it falls for a high school girl but Twilight did it better. Perhaps because Pattinson. The casting here was questionable to say the least (apart from the side characters). Episode 1+2 were actually pretty good but then...boredom.1. There is no chemistry between the leads (FULL STOP). Not to mention the cringy interaction between the overly childish behavior from the FL and the overly fatherly and awkward male lead. The age gap would not have been a problem had there been better acting involved. Actually the FL's approach to her character reminded me of the FL from When I Fly Towards You, only there the chemistry between the leads was 200% solid and the FL's acting spot on. Why this casting here? Did the director order this approach? Just awkward.
2. The bromance works, the side characters and their stories actually succeed in being more interesting than the main story.
3. I am angry because series that deserve first place got overshadowed on dramalist by this mediocre work. And it's not the works fault, they did their best, it's the reviewers fault who are not even trying to be more objective.
