ahhhhhhh that felt long af. but overall, idk. the hype about it seems a little overhyped, yk but I've heard many ppl say that the hype is real but ig not for me. It's good but I dont think its as good as some people are making it out to be. HOWEVER, I finally understood why ppl crush on Gong Yoo all the time, it might be the way he just speaks that attracts you. He did amazingly in this drama, and how bro was such a small part in Squid Game as the Salesman yet still captured the interest of everyone watching. He just has this "vibe" around him that feels really nice. I'm glad it was a happy-ish ending, they met again after reincarnation. Idk how Ji Eun-tak (Kim Go-eun) rememberd Kim Shin but alls well that ends well I guess. The OST bro I feel myself whistling it sometimes unconsciously, but until now idk what it is called :( it has no words I don't think, the part that stands out to me is the little tune. But I feel like 16 eps was a little long for it causing me to lose interest, but as I pushed on it worked out in the end. I literally bawled my eyes out when Eun tak died, and I don't cry a lot on a daily basis. Overall, 8.5/10. Overhyped but not bad. Was this review helpful to you?

Gong Yoo as Kim Shin/Goblin was captivating. I loved every scene that he was in and the feeling that Gong Yoo brought to the character made the show for me.
I was a little unsure about Ji Eun Tak at first since she acted so young but I feel like her character was everything Kim Shin needed. She matured quite a lot as the show went on as well as keeping some endearing childish qualities about her. So, although there is a lot of controversy surrounding her age, I think that it was fitting for how the show developed.
The Grim Reaper was perfect, his awkwardness and dead-pan personality. The relationship between him and Kim Shin was one of the reasons l loved the show so much.
I had so many emotions watching Goblin. I laughed and I cried and I loved the characters endlessly. A few episodes in the middle were slower than the rest, but it didn't phase me. I hadn't watched a fantasy drama before this one and I found I really loved the elements. I'm checking out more fantasy dramas as we speak.
The music blew me away, I've been listening to the soundtrack ever since. The best songs, in my opinion, are round and round, beautiful, and I'm here, stay with me and heaven. If I listen to and I'm here there is a 99% chance I will start crying again.
I felt the need to go back and rewatch it the moment I finished it, so it is no doubt a drama I will be watching again countless times.

Love never dies it helps one live
Well this was amazing I can't say anything bad about it, it's a beautiful story. The music is amazing I download all the songs after seeing the movie.The actors did a great job, it really feels great when you see it you feel like it's really you can't wait to see the next episode.
I cried the tears of joy and happiness and sadness but it was all worth it I would recommend everyone to see this.
My favourite song is beautiful by Crush followed by who are you by Sam Kim.
Story line was the best, it reminds you or us why we love and remember the ones we love or once loved, all the acts of good and bad they are part of one to make a choice this what we see here.

This drama truly is something else, from someone who loves watching dramas to see how plot could potentially develop/ how characters could potentially develop; this is probably one of my top 3 dramas of all time.I'll start with simple aspects like the cinematography, background music and OSTs are breathtaking, I cannot flaw them in that aspect. The directors were truly genius with the way they decided to film, cinematography in this drama held a lot of meaning behind it, sometimes it would take someone to look twice to notice.
Plot wise I must say it one of the most original things I have ever watched, the plot developed well and contained no visible holes that I could criticise, usually creators would fill those holes with unnecessary side plots or love triangles or underdeveloped characters, however, the plot of this drama is complete in every way. Just the right balance between reality and fantasy, a very thin line that not many dramas were able to hold onto very well. The plot stayed true to itself; when said thing is going to happen, it will happen. No shortcuts or exceptions just because the main characters where involved, that's what I like about this drama, it refused to stick to resolving the plot and dismissing main points just for fan satisfaction. All in all, the plot is incredibly thorough and captivating, heart wrenching but also somewhat warming.
I think the thing that surprised me the most about this drama is how the characters are all so developed, no one is completely good, no one is completely bad and they all have their own struggles. I don't think there's a single watered down character or a character that did not suit the plot. They were all so attached to one another and that's something you rarely in see in dramas, usually it's the male character attached to the female character and the 2nd lead attached to the 2nd lead female. However, you get to see them all relying on one another, physically and emotionally attached to one another. The chemistry between the main male leads was invincible as well as the chemistry between the female leads, this drama truly showed that love was an umbrella to many different types i.e. brotherly love, platonic love, romantic, etc. Likewise, the romantic aspect of it was also very well thought, the chemistry between the actors felt so real I almost thought they were dating in real life.

Absolutely one of my favorite dramas! I’ve watched drama three times now! LOL! The comedic chemistry between the two maleactors had me in stitches! Their banters
were hilarious! I enjoyed the twists and turns of the story, and lost many sleeps trying to watch episodes!
The acting and storyline were fantastic! I believe this has to be one of the best Kdramas I’ve watched!
The OST contains my favorite songs! I hope this drama won many awards, including acting and OST!

When 949 years you reach, look as good you will not... yes, yes.
And many more yesses for this melodramatic goblin-reaper drama that will spook you out for a few centuries, at least. The tension between the reaper and chicken-restaurant owner is fun to watch, and brings balance to the teeny-bopper crushes and tears of the main protagonists. A plodding, philosophical drama on life, the supernatural, and our timely existence. Breathtaking views of the walled fortress of Quebec City bring back fond memories. Good acting by all, though I preferred the supporting couple.Was this review helpful to you?
The drama provided us with not just romance, but also fantasy, history, tragedy and comedy at once and nailing them all in one go. It delivered an outstanding and picture-perfect plot that will leave an unwavering impression on you in the end.
The plot was the absolute star in the drama. It was so complex yet so brilliantly woven. And not all writers could do that. It was honestly, one of the best plot I've ever known. It delivered everything you would want from a well-written background story to the plot holes and cliffhangers, the unexpected plot twists, the intricate mixed emotions delivered in every scene, to the moving romances.
Gong Yoo paired up with Kim Go-eun was surprising and refreshing. It was a pairing we did not see coming but it was a perfect pairing for the drama. I was initially relecutant with the two as their huge age gap was evident in the beginning. But the drama and the story were able to ease up that awkward phase and soon faded away. It didn't matter anymore as the plot was just too good to even nitpick those very few flaws.
I have high respects to the writer, Kim Eun-sook,for creating such an original, quintessential script. I fell in love with the story before I even realized it. And the way she carefully and cleverly weave the subplots to the main plot was a stroke of genius.
And with strong leads, it would've been easy for the minor characters to fade into the background. But with the drama, everyone seemed to be the main character. Each character had a story to tell that is relevant to the entirety of the plot. Every one was charming and ultimately earned a place in my heart.
For one, Lee Dong-wook's brilliant portrayal of Grim Reaper was hard to miss. He was first introduced with a villainous vibe but soon became a loving character that tugged our hearts in the most beautiful and tragic way.
Even with a minor character such as Yook Sung-jae's Deok-hwa, he definitely delivered like a main character in the drama. He stood side-by-side with the bigger characters and earned his own spotlight. An artist cannot always be a good actor, but Sung-jae was an exception.
The OST was also one of the best I've ever listened to. I was never into a drama's music, much less the entire soundtrack. But with Goblin, every song was a perfect hit. It was melodious, haunting, eerie, and beautiful.
Overall, Goblin is a picture-perfect drama that definitely deserves a spot right next to the timeless classics. It was pure poetry painted exquisitely for everyone to indulge.
