Editorials 
I may have found the three perfect housemates.
Much has been said about the undeniable chemistry between Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun, but I would love to highlight the unmatched comedic trio of Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, and Yook Sung Jae. Those three never missed a beat. Their character worked on having a unique bond and they it built overtime. In contrast, there is a soft and tender partnership between Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na.The plot may have had some issues, but ultimately, it's the strength of the cast that carried this show. However brief their scenes might be, Kim Min Jae and Kim So Hyun also made an impression. The same can be said for Jung Hae In's guest role. I think it took care of its characters and how well they should blend with each other.

what to say?
What can you say that hasn't been said about this k-drama. I won't say much; don't be like me and push off watching this. I love Gong Yoo because of Coffee prince he has become my favorite actor and Kim Go Eun has become one of my favorite actresses because of this drama. Their chemistry is like no other, the age difference in real life makes it feel more real in the drama. I'll just key points some of the things you will see in this beautiful drama. 1. Amazing Story line. It's just Beautiful and sad at the same time. 2. You should be ready to cry your heart out. This drama will never leave a single chance to make you cry. 3. Mind blowing Acting. All the leads as well as co-artists have done their job so beautifully and perfectly. 4. The side stories. This drama has many small stories inside it of various people which will make you smile, and also sometimes those will make you cry. 5. The production crew has done a amazing job. You will get to see that once you start the drama. 6. BROMANCEEEE between the two male lead which will make you fall in love with them. 7. The OSTs of this drama is LOVE. 8. It is not just a simple romcom or fantasy drama. You can really learn great things from it.Was this review helpful to you?

Watch this to understand why are K-Dramas so unique
I now understand why this is one of the best dramas in Korean world. It was perfect for me a I cannot say anything bad.Story: The story was interesting for me, the mystical atmosphere brought this lovestory to a new level. Sometimes it was a little bit melodramatic - like a typical korean drama but overall I find it full of suprises that kept me watching and wanting more. Storylines were always finished and explained - for me it wasn not like they just threw something new unexpected. Each one of the characters had his own mission and drama did not forget that. (Spoiler) Kim Shin was so lonely and life did not matter to him but he found his reason to live. Grim Reaper wants to find out about his past life and he finds Sunny. Eun Tak had life full of trouble and sadness but then she finally find her home. She then sacrifices her own life but finds her way to Goblin. Sunny is just normal human being when she finds herself around abnormal beings. In the first half of episodes they are building the relationships so everything goes slower.
Cast: They are great. I do not mind the age gap between Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun because their chemistry is chef kiss. Bromace between Gong Yoo nad Lee Dong Woo is cute and funny. Yoo In Na is charming and all of them are building the atmosphere.
OST: I love all songs. Even if you do not want to watch this drama, please, just listen to soundtrack, you will love it. Unpopular opinion - I love Round And Round even if Heize sings it.
What can I say in the end... The ending is bittersweet while Goblin will always see Eun Tak die and he will stay alone.

Almost perfect
This is one of the most unique stories I have every watched. The balance of dark to light is perfect and didn't leave me depressed, even though it could have easily been the case. The two main male characters were absolutely perfect and made the story for me.I would not classify this as a rom-com since it has very little actual romance. It's also not a comedy, in spite of it being funny a lot of the time. It is a great mixture of fantasy/comedy/drama/romance/philosophy. The OST is so good I've also already downloaded it on Spotify.
Like many stories of it's kind there are a few things that don't make perfect sense, or threads that weren't neatly (or at all) tied by the end of the story. Every story can't be Lord of The Rings. It did however have a satisfying end and I'm glad I watched it.

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.
One of my favourite things about this drama is how realistic it is- as ironic as it sounds. They portrayed a 19 year old the way a 19 year old should be portrayed; hopeful, optimistic, immature, inexperienced. They portrayed a man that has lived 900 years the way you'd expect him to be portrayed. The pain of the characters was another realistic aspect, something that I felt through the screen. I don't usually cry at dramas, but this one made me feel things I haven't felt in a while- I mean I did cry for the entirety of the last 2 episodes and that sure does say something, I felt as though I was getting my heart ripped out, that's how lovable these characters are.
All in all, a drama I'd watch a million times and never get bored of.
Anyway, sorry for the long review and I hope you enjoy this drama just as much as I did! because i love this drama to bits!

Best fantasy drama
I am obsessed with this show and everyone in it. The acting in this show is incredible. l love the bromance and the relationships all the characters had with each other- there was never a dull moment. If you pay attention the show also has a lot of profound life lessons and messages to teach you. The ending is definitely bittersweet, it's framed as a happy ending but when you really think about it you realise that the joy will be short-lived.One of my biggest pet peeves with fantasy shows is when they introduce a world that has certain rules and they don't stick to them for the sake fo a happy ending for the characters. l guarantee you that this drama is so well written that it doesn't break any of its rules even though you wish it did at times.
It's in my top 10 ultimate dramas, l highly recommend

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.
