Watched for the cast and the Kdrama legacy
This show is so popular on My Drama List and it was on my watchlist for a long time and I love Kim Go-Eun (especially in Yumi's Cells series) so finally did a watch through after starting the show several months ago.
Things I appreciated:
The. cast! the friendship between Reaper, Goblin, and Ji Eun-Tak was so fun to watch - their banter was great. Enjoyed Sunny's character and really all the side characters.
The side stories Reaper had with his job, and Eun-Tak had with the ghosts - the whole show could have been those and I would have loved it.
The production - it was good quality
Things I did not enjoy:
The overarching story of Goblin
So much crying
The age-gap for no real solid reason - she could have been any age, why start the main character in her senior year of high school, like who thought that ick would be a good idea. The actors did so great and played immature, and mature really well and kept it very appropriate but just ick
The over-use of flashbacks
^for these last two reasons it would be cool to see a remake that is 10 episodes, with a main character starting in college or early twenties if they must be younger than Goblin, and intentional use of flashbacks.
