My favourite drama of all time, for sure!
I cannot say when was the last time i saw a drama like this and fell in love with it from the beginning to the end, was so well done.
The chemistry between the actors is always there, between all of them and kudos for the main couple, even tho the female lead is younger than her male lead co star and has less experience, she was sooo good at it, i mean she has such potential she can mesmerize you with just one look, her eyes spoke in every scene with such emotion it gave me chills. I loved it!
The male lead is also fantastic, he has way more experience of course and many acting skills under his belt already but he still surprised me on how good and natural his acting is and he was so good with his younger female co star, they worked very well together. He is such a handsome cute bear :D i just wanted to hug him all the time and wished i was in her shoes XD (shame on me i know lol but i really couldn’t help it, i fell in love with him and her <3)
The story itself develops at a nice pace, i have no complaints what so ever and the whole production and special effects were through the roof on this one as well, major skills there and a great investment on the directors and writters part, i as a viewer was both delighted and honored to be able to see it and enjoy this drama so much :)
The characters grow as the story goes as well, it deals with a lot of issues between life and death, pain and betrayal but also has a kind and comic side to it, some funny and heart warming moments to balance the mood set through the story and it's really well done, as to not always be sad and heavy, nor is it too bubbly and happy all the time. A good and perfect balance between the 2.
It's a love story, a very deep one no less but it ends up also being so much more at the end of the day. It pans out into so many branches and possibilities, as we see the characters lives get mixed up together, all the problems and obstacles that show up and mess up their peace of mind.
I got hooked up with this drama from day one and i couldn’t stop myself from doing a marathon with all the episodes until i finished. I was just so drawn into the story and the main couple i couldn’t look away, i always wanted more, i wanted to know what was gonna happen next, with all of them.
I laughed, i got second hand embarassment, i giggled like a crazy girl fangirling about something cute, i actually got excited to get a decent kiss and some real intimate demonstration for affection from the main couple, i was surprised and shocked with some revelations, all the joy and sadness, i cried my eyes out so bad for the whole thing, i felt the love and it warmed my heart deeply, it was really a roller coaster of emotions for me.
When i ended watching it i was no longer the same person and i loved this drama for it.
(Just a side note, i mean i know that they were portraying a big age difference between the main leads and they wanted to keep it pure and innocent until she “officially” was an adult in the story but c’mon, i’ve seen younger actors and people do way worse things on tv shows when they are playing love scenes - and i’m leaving the skinship out of this conversation ok?- but a good and normal passionate kiss wont kill or steal someones innocence for gods sake. What goes on in these peoples minds completely amazes me and not in a good way. I mean people in love they kiss, they hug, it's not like i’m asking them to get naked and have some more steamy moments but a bit more intimacy like all couples have. I guess another reason was also the judgement from the korean viewers, people often discriminate about these things and public demonstrations of affection as well. It gets me triggered a bit i mean, its just a kiss or a hug, if you want to show someone you love them, even in public, there shouldn’t be any judgement, its not like they are committing a crime for fricking sake. Geshhh people, you see worse things on the streets everyday and you don’t judge as much, go figure T_T I’ll stop ranting now, sorry XD)
My heart was never the same after watching it. It raised way high my stakes on dramas to a whole new level and i’m afraid nothing coming after it can even begin to compare.
I highly recomend it and to watch it a milion times over and over, until your heart and soul are both content XD

Honestly, the only thing I didn't like was the ending, which was a bit much and kinda pointless, but alas~ It's still good, and it honestly doesn't take that much away for me~

It is very emotional and loving. I have never cried or think this much about ANY kdrama before and trust me I;ve watched A LOT of dramas before.
JUST WATCH IT. YOU WILLLL NEVVERR REGRET A THInmgg
Even though the age gap is kinda weird, it is how it is to be.
Also Grim Reaper is kinda cute i thought it would be like a typical love triangle or something but this hit straight on.
THE PLOT IS SO AMAZSINGNNGN. it goes back detally back in the times and their past lives contributing to the detail of their old lives.

When all just comes together with perfection a symphony is born.
OK Guys, this is my first time ever to write a review but that one is worth it to me and it really doesn't need a second thoughts to watch it I'm telling you guys that drama has everything from laughter to sadness to heart worming love to suspense, will there to many things to put it in a simple review but I'm just saying the story and the acting and the filming came together in the right time the music marge in and they make a wonderful combination and the camera work with slowing the time at the right moment it just breathtaking. Watch it and you will see what I'm trying so hard to describe in that review and know it doesn't do justice by it.thank you.

Meh
I still do not understand why this was so popularThe only good thing about this drama is how Goblin was considerate to his bride and did not sexually exploit the teenager throwing herself onto him. He WAITED for her to grow up and become adult first. That was commendable
The bickering Goblin-Grim Reaper was NOT funny to me...
That's all I remember

Other than that, I can't think of anything I would change. The acting is amazing, the styling and cinematography is gorgeous, and the OST is hands down my favorite of any drama.
Don't let the age gap freak you out, it serves a metaphorical purpose in the story (the motif of the seasons) and we as the viewers know that no one is being taken advantage of.
This is one of those shows I have to stop myself from comparing every other show to, because if I did, very few things would measure up.

The arc with Park Woo Joon was really scary, because I quite literally can't stand any thriller, horror, or any deceased makeup lmao and turned the humorous-lightheartedness of the drama immediately into something darker. There was much more action in the last 4-5 episodes than the long buildup in the first 12 episodes, but you eventually understand what all those little moments meant in the end, which I guess is sort of rewarding.
In the end, my thoughts were sort of jumbled because the world didn't seem to have order. Many things happened that just didn't make sense according to information given or revealed beforehand. The last episode, especially, was really unbelievable because of what Goblin said about having the same face.
Ultimately, I thought the acting, humor, and touching aspects of Goblin were well done (also every person in this drama --except Park Woo Joon ew-- was very beautiful) but the development and execution of the story was not very well done. I watched this show because 1) my friend recommended it as it was his first kdrama, 2) it received critical claim after its release, and 3) GONG YOO, and I'm glad I did for those reasons. There are some scenes that are very, very quick, but for some reason it pulled on my heart and began to cry. Those moments, though, were never central to the main plot line and that may have been the problem. Basically, this drama wasn't fantastic per say and keep that in mind if you decide to watch.
**One last thing: the soundtrack was alright, but not impressive to other OST music I've heard. My favorite was "I miss you" but the others didn't really draw any emotion from me? Perhaps that is because my favorite drama right now is Scarlet Heart Ryeo and I fell in love so hard with both the drama and the music that I came into Goblin with the bar raised too high.

"The time I spent with you was all blindingly bright"
What I liked- The OST
- Deok Hwa - he's hilarious
- The Intro - it's perfect
- The Bromance
- Yoo In Na
- The cinematography
- The grim reaper
- The ending
What I disliked
- The age gap - especially because she acts like a whiny, selfish, materialistic child and he seems like her father in the beginning. He even calls her child and says things like "an adult is talking". And in the end she's a school girl again?
- The boring episodes in the middle
- The goblin AND Eun Tak are super annoying in the first half.

This quote; "There is no sadness that lasts for eternity. There is no love that lasts for eternity either." and Eun Tak voted for "Sad love"... This quote teared me up because the commitment she is doing is just sooo amazing and a life lesson. I wish that for anyone who is looking for love or is in love, I wish for yall to be dedicated as them... This is true love!!!
Overall, this made me cry!, laugh, smile, cringe, and made me jealous xD
After watching this, it inspired me to keep going and push on in life!
The comedy in this drama will stay with me forever! HAHAH!
I also loved how Deok-Hwa is the pabo person in the drama...evne though it's mostly Grim and Goblin.
After watching Sungjae in this drama, I began to miss 'WE GOT MARRIED' with JOY T.T
Anyways! This was a fun and memorable moment of me watching GOBLIN.

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.
