that everyone comes in our life with a reason or to teach us a lesson
it's a very interesting drama, you should watch it if you need a good cry, the main actors are realy handsome, this girl is a bit cringe at the begining but then she will grow and be a beautiful and inteligent women.No need to say that the goblin's sister is a angel being. The story is surely very well write, for me it was like a comfort k-drama, the actors, the crew, the story, the feeling that i felt watching this drama. littel spoiler, episode 14 will have a littel kick, i had a good cry that day but i felt that i let out all the feelings that were inside meWas this review helpful to you?
What’s not to like
I’m not very good at writing reviews but I have to for this drama! The acting was top notch, the story was beautiful and the ost was incredible. This drama had me crying, laughing and feeling upset at times. I had all the emotions in the spectrum. The 2 main were perfectly cast and the supporting cast felt like the main as well. I was so invested in the secondary relationship as much as the first. The way everything came together was perfect! To be honest it took me a while to actually watch it this drama. But I’m so glad I finally did.Was this review helpful to you?
Truly Worth!!!
My all time favorite Drama is Goblin. I would say this is the best of all the Korean dramas that I have watched.Selection of cast is really amazing, exactly matches their characters in the drama. This is not just the leads every single role played by every cast in the drams is perfect.
Music is awesome. Both songs and the background music is too good.
Graphics was also good.
This drama includes every genre available. I can keep watching it.
Untamed is my favorite Chinese Drama and Goblin is my favorite Korean drama.
I want to thank the directors for producing such nice dramas for us to binge watch. Thank you.
I like watching dramas that come under the fantasy genre :)

One of the best romance kdramas I've watched
Once of the best dramas I've ever watched hands down. The plot was very intricate and the characters were complex. The two main characters had amazing chemistry romantically and all the other main characters had amazing platonic chemistry with each other and the main couple also. Every single episode was very beautifully done and had me looking forward to the next one. Be prepared to laugh a lot but also cry. The soundtrack was also beautiful and added very well to the scenes it was used in. This drama will tug on your heartstrings a lot but is definitely worth the watch. I highly recommend this drama. You will not regret it.Was this review helpful to you?
Worth watching despite the flaws
I loved this drama, such a unique story!After this drama, whenever it rains I remember Goblin and think to myself: "Oh no, is he sad again? :(" The male lead of course is my crush :D but the female lead is also sooo cute! I loved her bubbly personality and positive energy! Yes, she did act a bit childish as many people said, but I personally didn't mind it because I thought it suited her very well.
In general, it's a very cute drama and one of the best ones I have seen. Although the last few episodes could have been better, in my opinion.
[Downsides]:
1) VERY slow
I had to watch 90% of this drama at x1.5 speed due to its slow pace. Many scenes were also shot in slow motion.
2) Fillers / Repetitive Scenes
I had to skip over A LOT of flashback scenes of past memories. Honestly, they could have made this drama 8 episodes instead of 16.
3) Age Difference
There was a huge age gap between the two leads. It looked as if he was in his 40s, dating a high school student. It was a bit weird, but I had to ignore it and focus on their adorable personalities to enjoy the drama.
Despite all that, I'm glad I watched this drama and I still recommend people to watch it.
Enjoy :)

This drama had been recommended to me quite a lot and I finally decided to give it a shot. A very cute and slow burn love story, while also having a really great found family story that goes on as well. The one downfall to such a great story - a not so great ending - so if you're looking for something that ends happy and leaves you feeling satisfied, this isn't the watch for you. While the overall story and characters make this drama so worth it, the end made it fall so flat for me and actually had me a bit disappointed and confused. I will add - a lot of people have a problem or find it problematic about the age gap in the relationship (900+ vs 19), but if you can look past this it's a great love story about fated and destined love.
-- Spoilers Below --
Kim Shin is a goblin that has been sentenced to live out an immortal life as punishment for the many sins he committed in his first lifetime. He has a ghostly blade stuck in his chest and the only way for him to be able to die and rest peacefully is to meet his destined, Goblin's Bride, and have her pull it out. From the outside, you can tell that Kim Shin is caring, loving and kind. He loves giving out tiny miracles and helping people out, but also harbors deep trauma and sadness from his life. He has outlived everyone that he once knew and will continue to do so.
Eun Tak is a senior in high school who can see ghosts. From a young age, she has been able to see and talk to lingering ghosts, but avoids doing so after her mother dies. She runs into a grim reaper as well, but is able to make it away due to the kindness of a granny passing by. She lives her life out with ghosts pointing out and telling her that she's the Goblin's Bride. On her 19th birthday, she decides to finally make a wish after her life is in a rut. Dealing with her abusive aunt and family to being bullied in school, she needed something. After blowing out her candles, there appears Kim Shin behind her. It starts a whirlwind up and down relationship between the two, where she knows she's the Bride but Kim doesn't believe her. They slowly fall in love and begin to actually feel for one another.
Wang Yeo, or known more as Mr. Reaper, is Kim Shin's friend that he lives with. He leads people on their death journey, helping them on their way before their next life. He himself knows that to become a Grim Reaper, you have to commit a great sin, but cannot remember his past life at all, not even his own name. He eventually runs into a woman on the street and feels as though he as seen her before and begins crying. This sensation doesn't only happen the one time, but again when he see's a painting that Kim Shin had been keeping of a woman. He falls in love with Sunny, a beautiful and witty business owner, and tries to be a normal human towards her. While at some point, she grabs him and he sees her entire lifetime, learning that she was involved in his and Kim Shin's, her being the latter's sister. They learn of his real past life, that he was the King that slaughtered many, and even was the cause of death of Sunny and Kim Shin.
Every single happening in their lives happens because of an evil entity named Park Joong Hun. He caused the car crash that Kim Shin reversed to safe Eun Tak, and he causes every little happening of possible death to her after. They eventually figure out his true identity and in the climax of the show, Kim Shin pulls out the sword and banishes him. Not long after he himself is banished to a world of nothing but snow and cold. 10 years go by and Eun Tak has no recollection or memory of the Goblin, but can feel in her heart that she is mourning the loss of someone/something important to her. Her and Sunny help each other out, both dealing with their grief of losing a loved one. Eventually because of the contract they made before his passing, Eun Tak makes a wish and he comes back. It takes a while for her to regain her memory, and after that it begins a happily ever after. They get married and everything seems well...
This is where I begin my small rant on the end of this show. After they get married, Mr. Reaper is waiting on a deadly car crash that is going to kill an entire bus of kindergarteners. Before this is slotted to happen, Eun Tak drives by and waves at him before continuing on. At this moment is when he realizes that she is about to die and get her death card and that HE was the reaper she was destined to see at age 29 just like he was at 9 and 19. She ends up sacrificing her life to save the kids, due to her destiny of having to die. A couple of years after her life ends, the Reaper's punishment is over and he can reincarnate in his next life. Before this he also leads Sunny to her afterlife and reincarnation. At the end, it's shown that all 3 (Eun Tak, Mr. Reaper, and Sunny) have all reincarnated, but Kim Shin is not apart of Mr. Reaper's or Sunny's new life, but they end up together again. Him and Eun Tak meet up again in Canada when she is 19 again. It ends with them seeing each other again.
My faults with this ending is in the bigger picture, was what he did that awful to deserve this bad of a punishment? Even the Reaper, who is Wang Yeo, has his punishment ended and can move on. It's also stated several times that you have 4 lives, and they should all be on their 3rd or 4th. So Kim Shin gets to continue and live on even after they can't come back anymore. Just a sad and flat ending for all of the build up.

This is a must watch drama
Words cant even begin to describe how good this drama is. From the cast to the plot to the way it was filmed it is perfect. It was the perfect amount of heartbreaking scenes and cutesy scenes. It has your emotions going up and down like a roller coaster. The only flaw in this near perfect drama is that it has to end. Though i do have to warn you i cried like a baby throughout this show as happy scenes only distract from the inevitable fate that Kim Shin faces. This drama is a must watch for Kdrama fans!!Was this review helpful to you?
Honestly... I went back and forth about whether or not I should actually watch this drama but I kept seeing it's name mentioned in articles related to Asian dramas or list of dramas to watch or something near to that, so I thought... let's give it a shot and see what happens.
Let me tell you, this show had me on the edge of my seat for the two days I took to watch it, Now I'm sorry I didn't watch it months ago when I first saw it. The plot, the actors, the settings, the music... everything was on point. I started crying and laughing from as early as episode one. That right there is a good indication of whether or not a drama will be good. If it can have you in tears within the first hour that more than says something.
I see and hear people complaining about the age gap between the male and female leads and I really don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe it's because I live in the west where most persons are considered to be adults by age 18. At the start of the series the female lead is 19 and in my country I had friends who were married at that age. In the drama nothing serious happened until the female lead was 20, which is the age of an adult in South Korea and the kisses didn't get steamy and heavy until she was a lot older.
All in all this drama is a must watch. You won't regret it.

Female Lead Was the Only Problem
So many people love this drama, but I feel like the same amount of people also complain about the age gap with the main couple. I don't have an issue with it as he is meant to be like 900 years old so it's whatever. The issue I had is that the female lead acted like a literal 12 year old for most of the movie.Again, she's meant to be like 18 or whatever, which some people already had an issue with, but why did she act so child-like the whole movie? It was super annoying and gave me the creeps. Like, a little part of me hated on him for liking her when she's like that, but mostly it was just her behavior that gave me the creeps.
I honestly only finished this because Lee Dong Wook is my absolute favorite actor ever and the bromance between him and Gong Yoo's character was AMAZING. Female lead is the reason for the 9/10 above, and despite her being super cringey, I would totally re-watch this just to experience the bromance again.
