Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

like other drama.

nothing special.
oh there is, in other ddrama the villain end up in jail, in here they live a happy life more happy than the goblin withhout worry and the goblin will help if they meet trouble.

the only good thing about this is the actor/actress, the places and music...as for the story pretty much the same like other k-drama with the villain actually always near ml, the villain forgiven, the villain not regret what they have done, a dark human nature unnfulfilled without resentment just because from all the bad thing there is a little goood thing. the 1st couple cannot have a normal relationship even after all the trouble but the 2nd couple can have relationship with better enviroment and clear mind like they have not done a thing wrong just like that.

at the end this show is like watching top moment in social media, they are addicting because cute/the music good/the dances good/what the person doing interesting but there is no story in it, if there is! it is just a story to make the moment connectng in natural way.

Alright, this drama has got to be my one of my top favorite dreams for many reasons. One, the cinematography of the drama is amazing, the effects used on it to showcase the goblin's power is amazing, whoever was in charge of it deserve a praise. Second, the actors' and actresses' performance was stunning, they did an amazing job at performing the emotions in a way that grabbed the viewer and made them feel like they were actually in the drama. Thirdly, the plot is amazing, well-written and executed, could've have asked for a better plot. It makes you think, analyze and create your own theories on the drama. I will say that there are plot twists that you don't see coming at all.
I personally truly enjoyed the drama, i would rewatch it again with no doubt. I hope that if you're still debating whether to watch it or not you do decide to give this drama a chance, I promise you it won't disappoint you.

I thought a very long time about if I should watch this drama or not. And now I have to say I shouldn't have watch it. Not because it was bad but because I have a problem know. The drama results in a special interest in some of the Actors (especially one of them).

Story: After I have watched most of Kim Eunsooks dramas I was excited when Goblin was first announced. But then there was the casting. Although I liked the story from the beginning I didn't know If I should watch the drama. But then I read many positive about it and so I gave it a chance. The Story is about a goblin, but I was more interested in the story about the Grim Reaper. I love Grim Reapers. I don't know why but every time I think about fantasy stories, I think about the grim Reaper o.o.

Acting/Cast: When I heart of the Cast I wasn't very excited to watch Goblin. I will begin with Kim Goeun. I didn't know her very well, but I used to watch Cheese in the trap and dropped it after one episode, because of Kim Goeun. I don't know if it was her character or her acting, but I couldn't stand it. So her casting wasn't a reason for me to watch the drama. But in the End I have to admit that she is a very good actress. Her Character is one of those who grow from episode to episode. At first I didn't like her Euntak, but after a few episode I liked her. Kim Goeun plays the role very emotional and the role was sure very hard to play. But she made the best of it.
The last drama of Gong Yoo I have watched was Big...And I dropped it after a few episodes. It wasn't because of him but because of the story and the female lead. But he wasn't so good, that I've watched it for him. The role of an over 900 year old goblin who is tired to live but has no other choice suits him very well. The big age gap between Kim Goeun and him doesn't annoy. He doesn't look like his age and his character who sometimes can be cute and childish is funny and gives fresh wind. Gong Yoo is a very great Actor and I hope his future roles will suit him as well as this one.
Next up is Yoo Inna. I watched Queen Inhyun's Man and a little bit of One more Happy Ending. The first was very good, the latter was bad, so I dropped it. In Goblin she plays a Chicken restaurant owner. She remembered me a little bit of her role in Queen Inhyun's Man. Maybe I liked her role because of this so much. Her Scenes with Lee Dongwook were so intensive and the chemistry was the best. Her Acting is amazing in this drama, the most in the second half of the Drama.
Now I come to my favourite character and Actor in the whole Drama. Lee Dongwook...I watched him first in one of my first K-Dramas (My Girl) where I liked him (but there was also Lee Junki v.v). Then there was Scent of a woman, where he broke my heart into pieces because his acting was perfect. After that drama I lost him out of my eyes. I began this drama because I wanted to see him again, but I thought he would be the second Lead. Kim Eunsook is wonderful. After Descendants of the Sun, a second time she spares us with a second lead syndrome. Thank you so much! Lee Dongwook acts as a Grim Reaper who can't remember his past life. His Bromance with the Goblin is funny and excellent. The Chemistry between the two Actors is very very good. Lee Dongwooks acting skills in Goblin surpasses his skills in Scent of a Woman. I didn't know it would be poosible but the role of a Grim Reaper and his chemstry with Gong Yoo and of course Yoo Inna is amazing. I love this Oppa because he wakes up feelings. If he cries I want to cry, too. If he laughs, I want to laugh, too. But the most of the Time I wanted to give him a big hug.

Music: The Soundtrack is very good. I love the song Wish by Urban Zakapa the most. But Soyus OST is very good, too.

Rewatch value: Very high, but for now I want to watch Lee Dong wooks other dramas, I didn't watched.

This drama is so amazing! I can't even express with my words how I feel about this drama. It has everything you could want, drama, romance, sorrow, happiness, plot twists, and so much more. The music was beautiful, it always fight perfectly with the scenes it was chosen for. I probably went though at leased 3 boxes of tissues from my happy and sad tears. If your not into historical dramas the only parts that are historical are at the beginning to set up the background of Kim Shin and etc. The cast all were perfect for their chosen parts. I found the acting superb. Personally my favorite character was the Grim Reaper. As you progress in the episodes you bond deeply with each character as their stories are laid out in front of you. Different obstacles arise for the characters and you get to see them get though it and it's dramatic all the way. The ending was well rounded and perfectly executed. It didn't leave me unsatisfied or confused at all. I only have good things to say about this drama and it will forever be my number one favorite. Highly recommend everyone to watch this because it, you won't regret it.

Thanks for reading my review this far, if you have! :)

Interesting drama about the folklore of Dokkaebi. I had my reservations, ironically because this is a hit. I didn't enjoy hits like DOTS so I was quite skeptical about this drama too. Watched it anyway and enjoyed it thoroughly:)

Firstly, all the logic fell into place nicely and the flow of the drama is great, so I can follow and immerse into the story quite well. (except for that part of Sunny's restaurant business..) Secondly, the characters are planned out nicely and uniquely interesting. Lastly, the bromance, womance, romance and kinship is displayed appropriately. I am glad that there are relationships other than romance, making the story much for believable. I enjoyed the story maybe except that the drama did a lot of recaps so I have to fast forward every time there is one.

I didn't quite believe that there will be chemistry between the two leads, but they really impressed me!!! Sunny and Grim Reaper also displayed their subtle chemistry that I liked a lot. I was totally taken in by Grim Reaper!!! All other characters really performed well and deserves a 10/10 (INCLUDING THOSE NOT-SO-CAMEO CAMEOS)

All the OSTs was great, just that the (airy) track by Soyou wasn't quite enjoyable for me. Like you are trying to immerse in the emotions then the breathy sounds come in (maybe its just me)

All in all, just watch it!!!

If you're wondering whether you should watch it or not, you definitely SHOULD. The Plot is all over the place and could've been much better. I still don't quite get why Gong Yoo should be a Goblin. The main Antagonist feels very weak and kind of unnecessary the show could've done without him altogether. They seem to complicate things far more than they should for no reason. The age gap between the two main couple annoyed me at first since both of them are great actors but they do much better when they have a partner with sizzling chemistry but I chose to ignore it and just enjoy it. The acting and the comedy makes up for some of the plot holes. I sometimes wished they would've gotten the fantasy genre out of the drama altogether because they seemed like they couldn't commit much to it. They wanted the Goblin and the Grim reaper's powers without all the complicated background.However, despite all this I finished it yesterday and I felt so sad I couldn't sleep. The soundtrack is really beautiful and all the character's acting is top notch. It felt like I've been watching this for a lot longer than just 16 episodes, which makes sense, since one episode is an hour and a half basically. I think the best way to enjoy this kind of Drama is to not get too worked up about what's going to happen at the end but to fully enjoy the scenes in every episode and treat it as a single movie. The two main male characters are my favorite thing in the drama. They even have more friendly/brotherly chemistry than the main couple. Gong Yoo is amazing as usual, I can't get over how well he can really portray every single emotion with just his eyes. Lee Dong Wook was adorable here. I love the two female leads as well they did a great job. I loved every character presented here Mr. Kim the secratary, Yu Chairman and Deok Hwa were so adorable and such scene stealers. This is probably my favorite ensemble cast for 2017.

Definitely overhyped

I went into this drama after hearing a lot of comments on Tiktok and friends and decided to try it out. At first it started off ok, but each episode was extremely slow-paced and the plot wasn't interesting. The main thing that I disliked about this drama was the relationship between the main leads. It felt really awkward watching there scenes. It doesn't make any sense of why a 19 year old highschool girl FELL IN LOVE with a 900 year old guy. The age gap between the leads in the show made it very . I literally had to search up the age difference between both actor/actress because of how uncomfortable their chemistry on-screen was. The relationship should have definitely be more of a Father/Daughter relationship rather than lovers. I really dislike the main female lead, she really pissed me off. She got angry at the most random thing and she is really selfish. She claims she's the goblin's bride but then fight and argue with him. No hate to Jung Hae-in but his character was very unnecessary and was annoying. Some parts that I liked from this drama was the funny interactions between the reaper and Soni, it was really funny and there relationship is kind of of cute:) My favorite relationship is the bromance between the goblin and the reaper. They were so cute together and I mainly continued watching for their relationship. The way they comfort each other even when they bicker and help each other. The cutest scene was when they were both taking medicine because they felt "sick" and "depressed". I usually don't like to leave a show uncompleted but I really couldn't keep on watching, the episodes were long and provided us with barely anything and the plot was very empty. I tried really hard to keep watching but got bored of it every 10 minutes. this drama is definitely overhyped but if you like age gap, slow-paced dramas then you should definitely give it a try. I really did not want to drop this show, but it definitely did not live up to the hype it was given.
