It seems this series was edited into oblivion to avoid "controversy". Now it makes no sense.

Based on the comment above yours, they seem to object to the portrayal of the homoosexual couple. As if BL dramas aren't rife in Asian TV programming. Some people just like to complain.

This was a decent series. The first 20 episodes I'd say were quite compelling and always left me looking forward to the next one. I thought the actress who played the scarred Yang Cai Wei was better though and the villain was dispatched too easily.

I agree with every word of your review!

I'm on episode 12 and don't find this one in the least bit compelling. The actors' performances are fabulous, but this feels like it's going nowhere. I really like Huang Xuan and Zhou Yi Wei so might watch a few more episodes just in case the story picks up.

Episodes 1-11: near perfect
Episodes 12-16: what a mess

The character comes across as having autism with his social & emotional unawareness and as well as being hyperfocused on details. He becomes much more bearable seen through that lens.

Wow! This is so much better than I expected.

It's still in my "Continue Watching" list on Amazon/Kocowa. It's not a terrible show; it's just taking too long to get where it's going. In the meantime, I watched Judge Dee's Mystery instead. It was much more compelling. In Blossom is a currently airing historical C-Drama that is really enjoyable.

Same. Kisses in Korean dramas are always inept looking so I'm not mad that the main characters did not kiss.

Episode 8 just about finished me.

Too many plotholes & too much lazy writing to give this more than 7/10. The cast and production values were excellent.

I haven't got that far, Rahul, so can't answer any of your questions.

I'm the opposite: hoping the show will pick up the pace a bit. Watching actors - no matter how good - wallow in grief isn't that interesting to me. We could at least have seen the husband's grief at losing his wife & son plus the guilt of how he was (or may have been) the indirect cause of it all.

Don't get me wrong though. I am enjoying the drama so far - just hoping it's not so drawn out that I end up dropping it.

The first few episodes of historical dramas always have "comical" characters that are never funny plus they are too stupid to live. I hope this trope is banished forevermore as it makes you not want to watch the show.

Man, I miss this show. There's a Knight Flower shaped hole in my heart.

That's how I feel about Goblin, like what's the hype. It's Ok not to care for something and add it to your "did not finish" list.

Go Granny!

But Kang is going to be a butcher for the rest of his life! /s
That one was so lame to me. He slaughtered Su Ho's entire family & Yeo Hwa's brother, nearly killed his sister, & extorted city merchants mafia-style.

LJW looks better in the Joseon hats though. LOL WDH's face looks really long when he wears them.
