I hate it when people have complaints about age gap, really, as a 17-year-old girl I am pretty sure I can make…
Tell that to all the men and women who got arrested and serving jail time because of a mature underage teen. Age has nothing to do with maturity, but everything to do with the law.
Okay, so I was watching this show, got all kyaaa (squealing) and rooting so hard for the Goblin and Goblin bride…
@Maria & @SimbiAni. I know what Pedophilia is. I was merely explaining WHY people are upset about this drama, especially in South Korea.
@SimbiAni - Please chill out...it's not that serious. Based on your post, it looks like you're about to spontaneously combust. Relax and enjoy the drama (~hamnida).
@Sharn - If you live in a country where 19 is a legal adult, ignore all the pedophilia/underage comments. People from different countries have different viewpoints. What's a law & definition of law in one country is different in another.

In South Korea, a person is a minor until they turn Korean age 20. They are in high school until 20 and a person can go to jail for having a relationship with a minor (Korean age 19 like in Goblin) because it's illegal.
Most of the rest of the world consider 18 year olds adults. So some people are ok with her being 19 and some people consider her a minor.
One more thing...since this is a Korean drama, and the writers, producers and director know she's sill considered a minor, it's rubbing people the wrong way because they are deliberately promoting pedophilia in their country.
She'll be 20 in 2 months, but then there's the 900+ year age gap. Good thing it's a man that's older because if it was a 900 year old woman, I think people would spontaneously combust.
