E foi bem aqui que me apaixonei por um ceifador...
A história desse drama é perfeita do início ao fim. A gente dá boas risadas, mas também quando for pra chorar é bom preparar os lenços. Claro que pela quantidade de episódios, tem uma certa "enrolação" em coisas que poderiam ter se resolvido muito mais rápido, mas não chega a deixar o drama cansativo, de forma alguma. Atuações excelentes e uma trilha sonora impecável! Não tem como não dizer que esse drama é um marco, tudo nele é absolutamente memorável. Simplesmente épico e atemporal!Was this review helpful to you?
Worth watching again
I really enjoyed this show. The acting was superb. The chemistry among the actors was great. I loved how the relationships progressed among the characters. I loved how he sat at that seat watching his Ji Eun Tak and just fell in love. This show gave me everything I love in a good show, a great story, deep love, lots of drama, laughter and tears. I specifically loved the chemistry and friendship that develops between Goblin and the Grimm Reaper. I loved how they depicted fate and love and waiting.Was this review helpful to you?
Probably one of the best K-Dramas I will ever see.
My Letterboxd review:"i will love this forever for introducing me to beloved gong yoo
as many problems as one could find with this series, my god do i love it so much. <3"
I want to add on by saying this: this drama is incredible at evoking emotion and it does so in a way that feels wholly natural and fulfilling. It's genuinely beautiful. One moment I'd be in stitches laughing, and the next I'd be tearing up and crying as I felt for one of the characters. It's really amazing and I feel that this characteristic of the show is what really made it for me.
As a side note: yes, the whole thing with Eun-tak being in high school is weird and I agree. But aside from that, I feel the show handles its subject matter with finesse and I don't think there was any harm intended in that choice.
In any case...
The cast is amazing, obviously. They have such great chemistry together regardless of the relationship between the characters. Of course, Yoo Gong and Go-Eun Kim were my favorite - not only are they both excellent performers, but they worked so well together! - but I also deeply appreciated the rest of the cast. All of them gave their performances their all, and because of that, they enhanced the story deeply and significantly contributed to bringing it to life.
Naturally, I adored the characters as well.
The story as a whole is really beautiful and led me to do a lot of thinking outside of the time I spent watching the show. I can safely credit this drama with solidifying my current perception of the afterlife (reincarnation is what I believe it could be) and honestly I thought that the way it discussed life and death was delicate and profound. I keep wanting to say the word "beautiful" as I describe this, but that's because it's true - all of it was beautiful to me. One of my favorite parts was how Dong-wook Lee's role as the Grim Reaper was explained and visualized. Simply marvelous.
The music gets an easy and solid 10. I still listen to it every now and then and find it as timeless as it ever was.
As a whole this drama is fantastic. It's definitely a bit of a time commitment but I found it to be VERY worth it. Do give it a chance because it certainly deserves it.

The most important drama to watch
This will forever be my favorite drama, the story is so well written and executed but it’s the characters what stole my heart, the friendships and the cute/innocent romance take all the prices. Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, and Lee Dong-wook are amazing actors that give a convincing performance in a story that can’t be farther from reality.And as a bonus, the soundtrack is wonderful, perfect for self inducing crying when you remember the ending.
If you’re fan of the fantasy genre, this is a must.

One of the best fantasy Korean dramas I have watched so far!
I actually fell in love with fantasy genre after watching Goblin. This is what I'm looking for.LIKE
Touched my heart
Bromance between Kim Shin and Grim Reaper
Another side of Yoo Deok Hwa (loved his seriousness unlike the usual goofy self)
Ji Eun Tak's decision that touched my heart (I cried every time I watched that scene)
Gave me goosebumps
Kim Shin realised Ji Eun Tak knew his secret (that moment my heart really stopped)
Park Joong Hun's character (I paused the drama to look around me making sure I'm still sane)
DISLIKE
Nothing, I never even skipped a scene.
MUSIC - my personal fav
Stay With Me - Punch (ft. EXO Chanyeol)
Round and Round - Heize (ft. Han SooJi)
REWATCH VALUE
Definitely as I have re-watched at least twice. Though the first gave me more goosebumps and mini heart attacks, the second and third time were equally awesome.

The best Korean drama I've ever watched
Actually, the first time I watched this drama was when I was 12 years old (now I'm 19 years old), then I forgot the entire contents of the story. But then I watched it again at the age of 16 and after that I always watched this drama over and over again.I don't know which part I like the most, because all the scenes have been my favorite for a long time. I like how the actors give their best to their dramas so it makes me like this drama even more, everything they want to convey can be accepted by my heart. I like the beautiful places they show, it makes me realize that South Korea has many places like heaven.
I don't know what else to say, but, I really really like this drama. I hope that when I get old I will still be able to re-watch this drama. I really like this.

This show had me enthralled from the first to the last episode. It was like a really good book; I couldn't stop watching! I laughed and cried a LOT.
Honestly, this is one of a handful of dramas I have seen that is going on my list of 'rewatches'. Yes, I feel it's That. Good.

I started watching Goblin with very high expectation but yet, it still surprised me and it just totally blew my mind .. The story is just so beautiful and too beautiful. The heart-aching part was so heart wrenching that I still have tears in my eyes after watching 3 times.
I will skip the review on the acting as the acting is just PERFECT. Each character just fitted on the role perfectly.
The comedy in the drama isn't a lot but the comedy contents are very new. How to say.. the comedy in this drama is more of cute and relax style. The comedy written in this drama wasn't found in other drama before. Everything just very ..... match.
Goblin totally shake the world of drama a big time. I believe this will be a start for 'Goblin' alike story coming soon.
If you are a kdrama fan, this drama is a MUST WATCH.

STORY
The storyline of Goblin is simple, but throughout the episodes, you get to see different aspects of it. It branches out in a lot of ways, but stays the same until the end. Scenes from the past get repeated a bit too much, but I felt it was necessary because each time they brought some new emotions and even paralleled with scenes in the present time. Story of the past ties nicely with the present (and eventually future). The show doesn't leave you confused and, although it is in times predictable, leaves you wanting to know why certain things happened.
ACTING/CAST
A set of amazing actors who portray their characters so well that you will laugh with them, cry with them and even be agitated by the same things as they are. Gong Yoo is without a doubt perfect for this show as is Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na. Others in supporting roles are great as well. All secondary characters actually have interesting backstories that go well with the main story.
MUSIC
The OST is simply amazing. One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard. Each song is beautiful and appropriate for each scene. I find myself playing the OST on repeat a lot. Music is always a big part of shows and here it really emphasizes all the emotions. (Sometimes you hear a specific song and you just KNOW what's about to happen - you will either cry or die of laughter.)
OVERALL
I will most definitely rewatch Goblin. Tbh, it's my favorite drama of all time (probably because it's my first). Honestly, with the writing and the production value, it's no wonder Goblin is a fan favorite. It really touched me and opened my eyes to so many things. It often left me laughing and crying at the same time which no show so far has done for me. Definitely recommend to everyone, even though it might not be everyone's cup of tea. For me, it wasn't just a cup, it was a whole bowl of tea.

OHHHHHHH My HEARRRRRRT!!!
This drama is easily one of my Top Favorites, no matter how many times I watch it, I always fall in love all over again and get shattered in the process. This is such a good drama. It packs one hell of a punch! The cast couldn't have been better, they did a phenomenal job with their rolls. The soundtrack was great! This story is a tragic one, it will have you on the edge of your seat so consumed by the lives of each character and trying to unravel the past and find the connections to the present. Some would call this is an age gap romance. Our male lead is guardian god (a Goblin) has been living since with an immortal curse for the past 939 years, the only one who can release him from his life of immortality is the Goblin's Bride. Knowing that you should be prepared for an emotional rollercoaster! Our little bride is a 20 year old girl who has lived a very hard, exhausting, sad life. When our two cross paths it's a hilariously beautiful and bittersweet thing. I was so unprepared. I fell so hard for the Grim Reaper, who is just simply existing, neither alive nor dead, carrying out his duties a punishmentWas this review helpful to you?
Goblin
- The story is unique.- There are funny scenes.
- The music is very memorable.
- The ending is happy. (So.. yay!)
- Supernatural, Romance, Drama, Fantasy all in one.
- However, I felt like there was no climax in the k-drama, a lot of the scenes were romantic scenes, fighting and arguing scenes, and that's about it.
- If you have a bad commitment when watching k-dramas. (Unless you're really into the plot in reviews.) Then, don't watch it.
