Oppa-kiss-me

I must say, watching this was a great thing, but I will wait a while before I watch it again. The story was great until a certain incident happened, which felt like a truck rammed through my heart repeatedly. I still loved the show but I hated what they did. It was so not cool. It made me angry and that's why I'm taking away points for that. I really got attached... *sigh* You'll see what I'm talking about when you watch. I don't want to spoil anything... I loved the fact that it was about the friendship between the guys and watching them grow and become something else was cool. It would have been nice for them to stay together even after high school. But ya know people go their separate ways.
The casting was too perfect. Way too perfect. There was a lot of great bromance! It was just perfect. I got hooked thanks to Min-Ki oppa's character, Byung Hee. He was strange yet funny and attractive. I fell in love with him instantly. I wasn't going to continue the show because of what happened after episode 1 but Sung Joon oppa's character Ji Hyuk made it possible for me to continue. I fell in love with him too. The other characters were great, even L's character. He was a bit scary tho. Haha!
The soundtrack on this show was incredibly amazing!
It wasn't a boring drama, just filled with lots of emotions and about love and friendship and music. It was perfect!
I would recommend this for people who love school/love/friendship/music type genre of dramas.

I miss everything about this drama already! EVERYTHING! ????? :')

This drama now holds a special place in my heart! It may even be my new #1 fav drama, especially since it's in the supernatural/fantasy/romance genre, which is my fav! The drama gave me great feelings, especially from the characters (and I must say that this drama has the BEST freaking bromance ever!!!). I'd watch BTS of Goblin with Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo and they were just an amazing pair. Adding Sung Jae to the mix made it even better. Hahahaha xD The 3 were a riot! ???

I laughed and I was happy. I cried and I felt pain. There was never a dull moment watching this drama, each episode better than the previous. I never skipped an episode, nor did I fast forward anything. Everything about this drama was absolutely stunning. ? The plot (which was somewhat heartbreaking yet beautiful), the characters and their personalities, to the amazing cinematography(which look like it took you to a whole new world), even down the the music (OST). ?

I loved the main characters so much. My ships ??~ It's funny cos at one point, I shipped the Goblin and the Reaper! Hahahaha xD Those two kill me!
Kim Go Eun as Ji Eun Tak was so adorable and smart. I loved how enthusiastic her character was. She's been thru so much and she was still able to smile and be optimistically cheerful and always helped people even when she's going thru stuff. She has such a kind soul. Yoo In Na as Sunny was awesome. She was sassy, beautiful and radiant, like the Sun! ^^ Yook Sung Jae as Yoo Deok Hwa made the whole bromance better. Hahahaha xD I love how they'd tease him sometimes and he'd get mad and frustrated. Hahahaha xD His character was a blessing to the drama, not gonna lie.
I loved how all their lives were intertwined with each other and the twist that came with it all.
There were certain things that would happen that you would not expect and you're just like, @#$%! Lol
I loved the beautiful, breathtaking, heartwarming, heartbreaking, sizzling hot chemistry between the couples. Most complain about the age difference. Who gives AF? They're all adults so it doesn't matter. I didn't think about that when I was watching the drama. The chemistry was there and it was just perfect! ???? I was enjoying it too much to care. lol~

The soundtrack is just wonderful to listen to and very catchy. I don't know how they do it but it's just amazing. OMG! Some of the songs gave me feels and not just because of the scenes they'd play it with, but if you actually listen to some of the songs, it resonated something within you. ???

I waited for this drama patiently and with high hopes and I was not disappointed one bit. My expectations were exceeded. ?????
Were there any flaws? Cos if there were I can't think of a single thing At least to me there wasn't any. A perfect 10/10! I commend the writers for doing such an excellent job with this drama!

The rewatch value is EXTREMELY high for me, because best believe I will download every single episode and rewatch it again and I will definitely download the entire soundtrack and listen to it on repeat. Goblin is a must watch~ You will not regret it! :') ? If you do decide to give this drama a shot, I truly hope you enjoy watching! ^^

An Intense and Thrilling Ride

Maybe it's because I'm biased toward Ma Xiao Yu, but I truly enjoy watching his dramas. No matter what role he takes on, he plays it exceptionally well. However, I just can’t get enough of him in the crazy roles—he brings such intensity and life to those characters. This particular role is undoubtedly one of the wildest I’ve seen him portray.

The character of Song Cha was incredibly intense. His determination and persistence in his quest for love were palpable. On a rational and logical level, I saw all the red flags waving in my face as I watched, but the irrational and crazy side of me couldn’t help but relish in how he stopped at nothing to get the woman he wanted. I empathized with him, knowing this was his first time ever falling in love. Watching him navigate his feelings was like watching a baby attempt adulthood—he was trying to make both himself and the woman he loved happy, yet he didn’t realize he was making her more and more miserable.

My sympathy for him grew as I learned about his harsh and bloody upbringing, where no one taught him love, kindness, or compassion. He only knew how to take what he wanted without remorse, regardless of who he hurt along the way.

It wasn't until he met Wan Ni that he learned, through the harshest lessons, what it meant to truly love and be loved genuinely. Despite his status, he was ready to die for her, to kneel and face humiliation for her. His love was so possessive and intense that it’s no wonder Wan Ni was terrified. Any rational woman would have feared getting consumed by such a dark and endless abyss of pain and suffering.

Chu Xuan is so good! I love her acting, and it was good to see her playing this role. I admire her character, Wan Ni’s strength. She fought against him with all her might and never allowed anyone, especially Song Cha, to walk over her. Though she had him wrapped around her finger the entire time, she never took advantage of it—her strong, kind, and level-headed nature wouldn’t allow it. Especially since she wanted nothing related to him in the first place.

As time passed, I believe Wan Ni began to see through Song Cha’s madness. Despite his obsessive nature, she saw glimpses of the man beneath the terrifying façade. While the world painted him as a monster, he showed a different side to her—a man desperate for love, even if his methods were twisted. Ultimately, his relentless efforts paid off, leading her to fall for this domineering and frightening man.

Wan Ni’s influence changed him for the better, and his willingness to transform himself for her showed just how powerful love can be.

The Guest is NOT welcomed in my home!!!!

I was in the mood for horror and it was creeptacular. 😂

It stated off so intense and it kept peaking my interest each episode. It totally delivered with the creepiness. A lot of it was because of the lighting to set the mood, the music they would use, the camera angles, and how amazing the actors were at being freaky with their facial expressions. It was quite impressive. I loved that and I could feel creeped out watching it in the dark alone at home. That was until around the last couple of episodes when it was about to hit the climax. I became bored a bit and kind of disappointed because it was getting to a point where they were running in circles trying to rack their brains of what to do and who was the villain.

With all the gruesome things that happened, I was expecting it to go out with more of a bloody bang, ya know!
Like don't get me wrong, the story in itself was intriguing the way they were talking about this "Guest" thats been around for more than half a century who came from the East Seas. Like I was hoping for more of a backstory behind that. Like what is it exactly and how it came into being. Like I'm curious about things like that. It was wild how the exorcisms were performed by the priests but some of the times it took them longer to finish the exorcisms. I'm not well educated in that holy department, but it just shows how human the priests are. A lot of them aren't saints and claim to be holy and a soldier of God who go around helping people and dispel the wicked, when they themselves sin like your average joe. It seems that this type of work, one has to be physically and spiritually strong or they may end up hurting themselves or others.

The main characters or the 3-stooges as I call them, were too incoherent when it came to dealing with the issues caused by the Guest. I understand that it wasn't a coincidence that they all met again years after, and that they had a lot in common due to unfortunate events that occurred during their young lives, but I thought they would be more circumspect as adults rather than being reckless, impulsive, and foolhardy. Some of their decisions were ridiculous and I didn't see how it aided in the situation they were in. But there wasn't much teamwork to begin with since they all didn't really like or trusted each other to begin with. At least they were wary in that area. They never really stopped to really think about things but was ready to jump the gun as soon as they head the name of the Guest. 😂 Like why? However, as they've been though a lot in their lives together, those three developed a bond. It was of mutual interests and first but it became more than that after some time. :)
The main casts and supporting casts did a really good job. I was even amazed at the kids. Those little shits were so creepy I swear. LOL

I wanted to watch something scary. This wasn't as scary but it was very creepy, especially with the sounds effects and music. Mind you, I had the volume high on the speakers too and I was always watching it late at night in the dark alone. That's the type creepy mood I'm talking about. It was eerily intense, because while watching it felt like the characters would sometimes jump out of the screen and stand in front of you. Like no thanks. Hahaha~ The last episode was a bit lackluster for me. The mini revelation was surprising but I was wanted more... like an all out war/battle. Ok, maybe that was too much but something along those lines. Then again, it made sense that things happen the way that it did. One can never stop evil from truly disappearing. It always spurs from darkness in human hearts, and the living is a lot more scarier than the dead or unseen spirit as they say.

Would I rewatch this again? Probably not because it won't be as creepy because I will be expecting things to happen and won't be surprised or creeped out. If it's with a friend who's never seen it, then definitely.
Would I recommend this to anyone? Definitely! I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to watch this and experience the uncanny feeling that it might affect you in the real world while watching. Hehe~ Don't watch if you can't handle this type of stuff, and if you can't watch it alone, try watching with someone so you don't get nightmares while sleeping in the dark. I can't promise you won't hear incomprehensible whispers near your ears. LOL 😂

My sincere advice: Humans should really consider being careful when they try to mess with things in which they do not understand and cannot handle.

Too Sweet to Handle

It's been a while since I wrote a review :)

I must say, that I truly enjoyed this drama and I kind of fell in love with it, so I decided to do a review. I know I'm a sucker for these kind of sweet dramas, but they're so entertaining to watch. They did a good job casting the leads.

The main female lead was so cute and funny with her antics, trying to seduce the main lead, and trust me, she tried many times and failed miserably. Her acting sucked and he could see right through her. Haha! Yet at the same time, she was also a little naive and very trusting of others. Still, I guess that's a good trait for her to have; to see the good in all. She's really to kind. I loved that she wasn't helpless and that she kept a clear head with not trying to start drama with others, even though others wanted to do the exact opposite with her. I loved that she wasn't perplexed about who or what she wanted. She had a goal and worked her way towards that goal, in both her acting career and love, and she sure worked hard for it.

As, for the main male lead... If I had a gorgeous, handsome doctor as my fiancé, I'd be sick for the rest of my life to have him take care of me. (LOL, just kidding). It's was my first time seeing him in anything and my first impression of him is really good. I really loved his stoic expressions throughout the drama, but as the drama progressed, you get to see him loosen up a bit. At first, everyone (his co-workers) were wary around him, since he doesn't smile and he's strict, but when the female leads strolled into his life(literally on a gurney), everything changed. His expressions changed and he became more warm where is co-workers felt more comfortable around him. You start to see his caring side, his protective side, his teasing side, his smile (and it's to die for), you even get to see his jealous/angry/annoyed side (and it's so damn cute).

(PS: I watched behind the scenes with the two leads and it's quite hilarious and a bit adorable! I guess that made it even harder to not like the actors because I saw how hard they worked to portray the characters to the best of their abilities.)

What I really loved the most in this drama was the chemistry and progression of the relationship between the leads. With each episode it developed more and more and I think that was one of the main reasons why I kept watching. Them being together changed each other and it was quite noticeable. I wanted to see how much further they would grow, not just individually but also as a couple. I loved the fact that they communicated (a key factor in any relationship), I loved that they supported each other and always make time for each other, given their professions. I loved the little risks they took just to prove how much they cared about/loved each other later on, given their circumstance and how they felt about the situation, prior to them meeting without knowing who they were to one another.

The other characters were good and they did their thing and went through changes (good and bad) like any other characters would, but I was more focused on the main leads. They intrigued me the most! :)

The drama was just very refreshing to watch. It was a great binge and I do not regret it. I definitely will watch again.
I would totally recommend this drama to anyone who's looking for or is in the mood for something cute to binge. Just to take your mind off things, or to just watch if you went through a rough ordeal (withdrawals) from watching another drama before. Trust me, I've been there.

This drama changed my mood and made me happy. I'm sharing with you all and I think a little happiness wouldn't hurt. ^_~
