Chae Seon has dreamed of performing pansori since she first heard Sin Jae Hyo perform when she was little, but Sin Jae Hyo turns her down because women are not allowed to perform pansori. Chae Seon then disguises herself as a man and enters the Dongrijungsa to learn pansori, but Sin Jae Hyo doesn’t accept her as his student. One day, he hears Daewongun, the most powerful man in Joseon and the father of the King, is going to hold a national competition of pansori performers known as “Naksungyeon”. Sin Jae Hyo decides to teach Chae Seon, who has a true voice to perform “Chunhyangga". If anyone finds out that Chae Seon is a woman, Sin Jae Hyo and Chae Seon will both face death.

I found the plot with the villains of both dramas being very similar - both hold high positions in the community therefore no one suspects them, but behind the scenes, they take advantage and do shady things. Also, the whole supernatural background was a bit similar.

Both dramas are Chinese mythologies where a deity decent to the mortal world. One of them is a Taiwanese drama whereas the other is a Chinese one. Both have some supernatural elements and are fantasies.

I found myself wondering if The Devil Punisher was not a remake of Goblin. They have somewhat of a similar esthetic (though Goblin is much better made); look at how similar the show posters are!
If you like stories about ghost fighters and amnesia, then you'll love Goblin.

Both dramas are about gods and deities navigating modern world. While Devil Punisher is heavier on the ghost aspect, both series have a major romance plot as well.
