Painfully beautiful. I still hear “Stay With Me” in my head.
I don’t think any drama will ever top Goblin in terms of impact. It’s been years and people are still referencing it—ads, parodies, new dramas, literally everyone’s trying to recreate that vibe. The rain, the red scarf, the walk in slow motion… iconic. Every single scene felt cinematic without even trying. The chemistry, the humor, the pain, the quiet moments that just sit with you—it all just worked.
There’s something about Goblin that makes it more than a fantasy romance. It feels like a memory, something you lived through rather than watched. It’s emotional, weirdly comforting, and somehow gets sadder the older you get. I swear, no matter how many new dramas come out, nothing has that same magic. 2016 K-drama era was unbeatable—and Goblin is still the standard.
