I have my own issues with DAYS but let’s not put Goblin on a some creme-de-la-creme pedestal here.
At least in DAYS, TDK isn’t a some kiddy-babbling teen-girl lol. Like imagine being an ancient god and your life is in the hands of a child-yapping teen who talks like she’s 10. Wouldn’t be Doom LOL.
Firstly, the contract is senseless. Why MM had to fulfill a birthday wish in the first place ?? Secondly the conditions…
The drama presented itself with a magic system when it created a ‘contract’ between Doom & TDK. Meaning there are restrictions or laws in a contract right. Doom sets it up & tells TDK. So I’m saying in reference to @Suzy comment that if the contract is easily bendable & reworked around as the story goes, then there isn’t much stake nor tension. I find the magic system rather flimsy because of that.
It’s like when someone gives you a set of instructions on how to build a thing. You start building the thing and almost finishes it. Everything is set up. But then that ‘someone’ suddenly gives you another set of ‘new’ instructions to actually build the thing. So you end up having to rework and unscrew the thing in order to fit the other set of ‘new’ instructions. That would be irritating lol. Like what’s the point of the first instructions then lol.
Analyzing & critiquing shows is fun & an insightful read, specifically to those who writes reviews & whatnot.…
I didn’t read the webtoon so I’m reviewing the show as a drama-watcher specifically. It’s definitely not reaching those ratings but it has the internet buzz. Although I’m not sure which online platform besides tvn & Netflix is it airing also?
Great Review! I honestly tried to get into this but the 1st ep didn’t work for me. The set up in particular with the overt militarism. I’m not to familiar with the actors work (did try to watch Lin Qin in the Song of Glory) but it didn’t click. This gave off Descendants of the Sun vibes & I couldn’t do it lol.
Although Lin Qin is very beautiful! She has such a regal look. She suits historical dramas.
Song kang and Han so hee are two of the sexiest young stars right now and i am really amazed with the fact how…
Analyzing & critiquing shows is fun & an insightful read, specifically to those who writes reviews & whatnot. Isn’t that the whole point why we have reviewers in the 1st place? To illustrate whether a drama is worth watching or just wasting people’s time lol.
If you want to watch this show just for pure aesthetic by all means go for it. I’m sure SK & HSH are hitting up the buzzworthy’s ranking on the internet although the drama did hit it’s lowest rating at 1.2. It’s luck that it is on JTBC. If it was TVN, it would most likely been canned to 8 episodes or 6. Look what happened to A Piece Of Your Mind. That drama also aired two good looking people stuck in a odd toxic conundrum but it lacked viewership lol.
Lol I had the same thought. They’re both around the same age too. Tall & lean with a small frame face & protruding nose. Although Xu Kai has stronger features.
Isn't it weird they are not showing SONG kang kissing other girll, (well we know it's implied he kissed one girl…
It’s supposed to allude the idea that he’s a player ambiguously but still obvious. I mean I don’t think they want SK to be kissing multiple people since covid & whatnot lol. Or maybe it’s the direction they decided to go for.
If you read the original Webtoon, I think you would understandThe irony is intentional, you are supposed to feel…
I assume because PJE is a player and so many girls like him he suppose to come off as swooning but SK tends to reads his line with a monotonous tone lol. I don’t feel the swoon lol.
I agree, he’s more sinister. Although his face close ups & his eyes are a bit much lol.
this is quite slow. I feel like 10 eps are not needed here at all. this can be wrapped up in 6-8 :/
Same. I said it before that 10 episodes is befitting but it probably only needs like 8 episodes. Do I really want to watch 10 episodes of this toxic foolery lol. I hope the character development kicks in at the halfway point not at episode 8 or at 10 :/.
I hate the guy and as consequence my dislike of the girl grows as well. You know she's gonna be a fool, burn herself,…
I didn’t read her removing the lipstick as a power move. More so she doesn’t like other girls being physically in contact with him. She actually wants him for herself hence she proceeds to kiss him. But heck I hope she plays with him too lol. Have him strum along how he does to the girls he meets. If he can have fun, why can’t NB. Two can play it that way. As the saying goes, respect is a two way street.
This is only the second episode. Can’t expect her to have a drastic 360* character development lol. She’s still very much insecure.
I agree, it’s ‘slightly’ better than DAYS but honestly both were not my cup of tea.
At least in DAYS, TDK isn’t a some kiddy-babbling teen-girl lol. Like imagine being an ancient god and your life is in the hands of a child-yapping teen who talks like she’s 10. Wouldn’t be Doom LOL.
2020 was truly his year! That Itaewon Class banger. I hope he gets more OST offers.

LQ is so beautiful (“.0.”). I couldn’t continue SOG lol.
Let’s see how it fairs next week.

The irony though, lol it’s funny. I hope PJE gets his patootie handed to him like a stale fish on a cold platter.
