I waited a long time to watch Goblin, for all the reasons people take issue with it. But I finally decided I just needed to jump in and find out what makes it so beloved, despite obvious foibles. I'll mainly address the age gap and why it eventually didn't bother me. As the story unfolded, the way it was reinforced that she wouldn't even have been born if it weren't for him, and that she was born expressly for him actually started to make it feel like she was less of a human and more mythical too. Hence, the age difference ceased to be a problem for me, especially as the series progresses. I'm sure I wouldn't have experienced that phenomenon if it hadn't been a fantasy series, but that's just what happened. Anyway, I was able to overlook things that would normally annoy me and because the cast was so good, I didn't mind the draggy pace. It also felt so novel and unique at times and like it was it's own thing, not trying to copy anything else. I know there were some tropes, but it's hard to explain why it just felt magically original; It was probably the cast and the writing.
