Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

i was going to give this drama a solid 10 for the plot, but i didnt like some parts of the plot (personal prefrence) like how the characters developed but overall this drama was really good.

The theme of the story is great like applause to the writers, but the actors age gap made a bit uncomfortable but i could understand why they chose them ... their chemistry was GREAT,
and i was so into them i cried oceans i laughed hysterically.
have you watched a drama that made you weep laugh get confused then butterflies in your stomach then again cry, yes complicated i know but thats what i loved so much about it .

Personally i liked the bromance between the male leads :D and i shipped it so hard it was so cute, if you are hesitating to watch the drama .. dont! you will miss out so much bromance ;D, the grims sense of humor and goblin's hot smile you dont wanna miss it.

The scenery of the drama was 10/10 believe me you will be amazed ...
My absolute fav was the music it was SO GOOD SO GOOD from the first ep till the last .. and that one song for kim kyung hee , ill keep it with me

overall DONT MISS OUT ON THIS DRAMA you will lose a lot

I also recently finished watching Goblin: The Lonely and Great God. This show is also by tvN. It was beautiful, poignant, lyrical (to borrow Christina Bertani's descriptor), and all around wonderful. It stars the always amazing Gong Yoo (who I first loved in my first K-drama, Coffee Prince) as the Goblin cursed with immortality and Kim Go Eun (who did her television debut in 2016 in Cheese in the Trap) as the Goblin's Bride, who can see ghosts and is the only one who can break his curse. It also stars Lee Dong Wook (who, I will be perfectly honest, I feel in love with while watching him on the variety show Roommates and have loved in everything I've seen him in) who plays a Grim Reaper and his love interest is played by the very beautiful Yoo In Na (who I've seen in several shows and I'm very glad she finally gets to play a character who is not an utter bitch). There is no one on this planet who is as good at the wounded, kicked puppy look as Lee Dong Wook. You just want to hug him and carry him around in your pocket. I give this drama 5 out of 5 on DramaFever (where I watched it) and 10 out of 10 on MyDramaLIst. I'd give it 1000 out of 1000, even. The bromance between the Goblin and the Grim Reaper is amazing and would make this drama a joy to watch even if everything else in it sucked. Luckily, nothing in it sucks. Except maybe the age difference between the Goblin and his bride. But given how chaste k-drama romance is, I am easily able to give that a pass. :)

Goblin is a good drama, but even though I gave it a 9, it is not the best in other ways. I'll talk about what was good about the drama first, then I'll talk about what I disliked about the drama.

Characters

The characters were all great, especially the two male leads. Their interactions with each other were especially entertaining. I can't say for sure that I really disliked any of the characters, though I think I liked the second leads better than the male leads. They were more entertaining and they made a little more sense than the main leads, which I will get back to later.

Actors

I loved every one of the actors. Usually there's an actor I hate, but not in this drama. They were all enjoyable to watch and they all did a splendid job.

Plot

The story was interesting, especially with the grim reaper stuff. In the end I kind of wish that the way life and death work in the show would work similarly in real life too. The plot always kept me interested throughout the show and there were a lot of cliff hangers. Stupid plot devices were used sparingly and they partially made sense.

Visuals

The cinematography was fantastic. Even if you don't like everything else about this show, you will just like looking at it. It is beautiful and a sight for sore eyes.

Music

I love the majority of the music in this show and I've listened to many of the songs multiple times. The soundtrack really stood out and I don't think I really disliked any of the songs.

What I Disliked

I felt absolutely no chemistry between the male leads, personally. I thought they made great friends, but I always grimaced at any romantic moments. I just couldn't see them together romantically. I see them as inseparable friends, but no more than that.

Also, the main male lead kind of irritated me. He's supposed to be like 800+ years old but he acts like a child. Also, you cannot tell me that he never fell in love with anyone until he met the main female lead. I think it is an excuse to blame his childlike behavior on his personality. In You Who Came from the Stars, the main male lead had lead a similarly long life like the main lead of Goblin, but he was not childish in any name of the word. I felt that his personality was far more realistic for someone that had lived for a long time. As a character the main lead of Goblin is great, but when you realize how long he's lived he just doesn't make sense.

Overall

Of course I recommend that you watch Goblin. Overall it was a really good show and there are plenty of reasons to watch it despite my negative comments at the end. Give it a try and you'll probably like it.

I know this is a melodrama to heavy drama series but I have to say I laughed more than I cried watching this drama. Grim Reaper having no name and business card were my favorites, I enjoyed the scenes of Grim Reaper - Kim Shin, -Yoo Deok-hwa and Ji Eun-tak fun moments inside their house. At first i was not sure how to feel about the main leads, but their acting made me fall in love with their characters. They were able to show how love can lighten up even the hardest situations in life. I also like how bold they are in showing their feelings to each other. I love that how they feel is being seen from their faces in their acting. I love Gon Yoo's acting esp when he is fluttered :) And who would not love to watch 3 good-looking male leads and a cute leading lady.

Beautiful story, acting and OST - ignore age gap concern - prepare to be in your feels.

I hesitated to watch due to research ahead and age gap ppl complained about, but SO glad I watched. 12/10, such a beautiful show.

Truly amazing combination of character and relationship development, with strong respect and plot dev around age gap for ML/FL (I mean, age gaps portrayed like this are prominent in fantasy).

Beautiful cinematography and jaw-dropping OST (soundtrack). The depth of how love / care for another / fate / destiny is portrayed in this made me dehydrate from shedding so many tears by simply being SO touched by this show. 10 year anniversary soon and I can’t believe I just watched this for the 1st time. Will rewatch, which is rare for me.

the kdrama will never can be adapted to other country or director

1. The choosen of actor and actress is perfect
2. The soundtrack is good
3. The OST kdrama is perfect even my fav song
4. kim go eun acting is really suprised me even thought i dont know him back then and i know him after wathing thid kdrama
5. the brotherly chemistryof the goblin and the angel of death is good
6.The chemistry between the main role of the goblin and the student is actually a little less than the second role of the angel of death and the shop owner.
7. The story of this drama is good and I think it's something new for kdrama there because this genre is difficult to adapt and act out.
8.Even though at the beginning I felt a bit creeped out and felt a little cringe with Kim Go Eun's acting when teasing the goblin, but when she cried, she was good.
maybe this is one of the best kdramas in my opinion, it's not there yet
