Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

쓸쓸하고 찬란하神 - 도깨비 ‧ Drama ‧ 2016 - 2017
Good Korean time travel story. Heartwarming stories. Involve the male lead love of the woman. Past, present and future. Worth watching

This series is wonderful. Here there are tons of fantasy (the main couple) is part of a mythology (that of South Korea). A magic sword that is stuck in the body of the male protagonist and only the female protagonist can take it out (but if you take it out he will die). But not everything is what it seems in this sentimental and precious drama.

Romantic fantasy film starring Fukada Kyoko and based off of the best selling series of written works by Sakurazawa Erika. In a corner of Tokyo various hopeless romantics are reminded of the love, friendship, and familial love in the world. A convenience store clerk named Kato wants nothing more than to find a girlfriend . . . however things never go as he plans. Meanwhile, single father Yoshikawa treasures nothing more in this world than is daughter. He'd like to remarry to help her, but his love Kazumi confesses that she just doesn't like children. On the other hand, junior high school student Mizuho has become the object of bullying after a slight misunderstanding. Then one day an angel came down to visit them.

Both have that unique combination of making you feel happy, sad, confused, empty, overwhelmed, and captivated at once.
Both have multiple couples with Goblin having 2 and More Than Blue having 3.
Both depict the power of true love and what people will sacrifice for the person they love the most.
Both have beautiful OST’s
Both involve working in a music setting- (record company for More Than Blue and radio station for Goblin).
Both have great performances
Both will stay in your mind for a long time after you have finished.

The main actor of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is also one of the main characters in “globin”, there’s even a reference to it on “the tale of nine-tailed”.
Both story’s talk about the first and only love. Both are fantasy/supernatural genre, The drama Goblin was immensely hit and was loved by its numerous fans. So if you are a fantasy and supernatural drama fan, this one is a must for you.

A list of similarities:

- Bromance (duh)
- Strong fantasy elements
- (some) strong female characters that can kick ass
- Action/mystery
- Characters have magic
- Two male leads have a hidden past that is not revealed until later in the storyline

Both protagonists are immortal beings who are alive for a long time ( resurrected or immortal ) only that in rattan the fl is the immortal and the ml is the human. Both dramas have fantasy elements . The vibes are very similar . comedy, fantasy, and the same themes, but with a change of gender in favor of the female lol

Both are supernatural/fantasy dramas with an immortal male lead who falls in love with a human girl. Both have epic bromances, as well!

The Day After We Broke Up is a lot less comedic than Goblin but it has a very similar supernatural/magical tone to it.

You'll know what I mean once you watch it.

Both have immortal male lead characters who suffer from their fate until the female lead frees them. One thing I found similar was that both male lead characters had guilt and pain and constantly had to bury people throughout the time they were alive

University student, Takatsuki Minato, likes things to be clean and in order while her stepbrother, Takatsuki Toru, is a bit of a player. One day, while cosplaying as a high-school student in a fashionable district in Tokyo, Minato accidentally bumps into Toru and quickly lies about her identity. To her surprise, Toru appears to take an interest in her alternate identity, Mina, and asks her out. Thinking that she might be able to cure Toru out of his playboy ways, Minato continues to disguise herself as Mina but will she be able to keep up the charade when she starts developing feelings for Toru?

Both has the summoning thing. Both of them had love- hate relationship. In both dramas main lead had to habitat home from the other lead. Both had unforgettable love experience!

I found myself wondering if The Devil Punisher was not a remake of Goblin. They have somewhat of a similar esthetic (though Goblin is much better made); look at how similar the show posters are!
If you like stories about ghost fighters and amnesia, then you'll love Goblin.

Alright, I know that at first glance people might think that I must be crazy to recommend Goblin for AMA. However, hear me out.

- I am definitely not recommending this as having a similar romantic storyline as both have romances that couldn't be more different. I personally have a huge dislike towards the romance part of Goblin (worst I have seen yet, makes me disgusted and uncomfortable). As for AMA, it has the best romance I have ever seen. Zameen aasman ka farq as we say in Hindi (meaning as different as earth and sky).

- Why I am actually recommending this is because of the bromance in Goblin. The relationship dynamic between Goblin and Grim Reaper is eerily similar to that of the dynamic between XX & GYZ in AMA. The way I wished that Goblin and Grim Reaper were the actual couple (and I am not a BL fanatic at all. Just a normal bisexual woman that ships regardless of gender), Goblin would have been so much better if it was about these two sigh......

this drama has like 1/10th the viewership count to that of Goblin's, but something i consider far superior in story.

honestly, i think people who liked Goblin so much should watch this. truly an amazing drama. no fantasy though, and heavy palace politics that overrides romance. but i feel like this is THE drama that earnestly rewrites the rule for a good, heart-wrenching bromance for me, cry me a fckin river.

truly, could not recommend enough.

rating: 10/10.
