Even hotel del luna and korean odessey have that thing common.. they all meet their human counterpart when they were kids...
The destiny thing is there in almost all kdramas if romance is involved..
Since the supernatural beings are immortal only the human counterpart will be shown as a kid but in normal rom-coms both the male lead and female lead meet as kids....
Kdramas have this weird obsession with the leads meeting as kids and then as adults..

Yep, they do...

i didnt watch ep 13 and when i watched ep 14 i didnt feel like i missed an entire episode... ep 14 had some good scenes but it ended with the leads breaking up and the reporter girl got even more on my nerves... if this show dont end with her atleast making a public apology i will cut 2 stars while giving the ratings..

the demon coworker was suspicious the moment he was shown and when the scene cut directly to them walking into the store room after LY asking JA she wants to see his world..
i guess to keep the show fast paced they just cut out unwanted scenes like them getting on a ferry and coming back to seoul or waiting at the island for the police to arrive... i thought LY would be getting punished for atleast 2-3 days but he came back within hours... as long as they dont drag the show by 2nd half i am fine with the fast phase...

i do feel the dialouges are fast and hard to keep up with the subs.. the to and fro conversations are fast and i have to pose at times to read the subs..

except for lee dong wook there is not connection with goblin..
almost all supernatural shows with creatures decades old gives the same vibe.. goblin, hotel del luna, korean odyssey all kind of gave the same vibe at the start.. all the supernatural leads will have some kind of connection with the human leads... also afterlife, reincarnation, curse everything are according to the korean culture so there will be similarities no matter how different the entire story is...

i skipped episode 13 and only watched ep14 but i dont feel like i missed anything...

JH will come off as extremely dumb if she gets manipulated by a reporter who is hell-bent on defaming HJ... JH can literally sue that reported for stalking her and taking her pictures without her permission.. thats more than enough to scare her and make her apologize.. the reporter is already in hot water for writing charlie jung-HJ article... JH should have said what the reporter told her to HJ instead of breaking up with him... why did she even give time to that reporter? her noble idocy is only gonna give HJ more headaches...
this episode, HJ-JH was finally looking like a couple after ages and it ended up with their break-up... i seriously want to see the reporter getting sued and making a public apology..

also till now, i haven't heard any Korean actors losing endorsement deals due to their dating.. did lee min ho and suzy loose endorsement deals for dating each other? in fact suzy dated 2 actors publically and she still has no problem getting high budget dramas and movies... song Hye Kyo dated 3 of her costars and even married and divorced one of them.. she is still considered to be one of the top actresses... if actresses dont get impacted by dating in a patriarchal society like korea than actors are out of the question...
HJ is not an idol and even idols( esp male idols) don't lose much when they date.. exo kai dated publically twice and it did nothing to his popularity and brand value... they are over exaggerating Korean actors dating...

as always HJ's brother made me laugh.. some of the scenes from today's episode was heart touching like HH-HJ conversation, their childhood flashback..
HH's sister need to make a clear stand in front of her mother..

i watched it till ep 10 and then went and watched the last episode..
the drama had some hilarious scenes and cute and naive characters..
i have mixed feelings towards the male lead.. i get he is innocent and naive because of his upbringing but some of his mannerism makes it look like he has some metal disorder rather than someone who is naive and innocent... seo in guk was cute playing louie but i dont know how to interpret his character.. i am confused about it...
the female lead is also innocent and naive but i dont have any mixed feelings about her characterisation...
i liked the chemistry b/w the leads.. by now i know nam ji hyun can have chemistry with anyone and everyone... there is not even a single costar of hers that i didn't like her with...

i watched the first two episodes and i dont feel like watching the 3rd episode.. it dont make me excited and the first 2 episodes were very slow and uninteresting...
the female lead is very boring.. she makes the FL of goblin looks interesting to me... i didnt feel much chemistry b/w the leads as well and the hairstyle of the ML is not helping either... there was not much comedy either... i only liked Woo ma wang and his extra-ness...

does this get any better? i am not that impressed with the leads as of ep 2...

i dont think they kept goblin in mind while making it as goblin was way less darker and more funny than totnt... the only similarities is how afterlife works but then its according to the korean culture.. even along with the gods shows the same thing... goblin, grim reaper, gumiho etc are presented as how korean culture sees them.. so no matter which show it is the basics of these supernatural creatures will be the same..

i think when LY gave her the fox bead she was crying at that time as well..
what if jiah is not the first reincarnaition of ah eum? LY never tried to find the fox bead in other look alikes while they were crying?

its high time they talk it out rather than covering it up..

i might watch today's episode tomorrow along with tomorrow's episode...

how was today's episode? i only saw the precap and dont feel like watching the episode..
seems like charlie problem is back.. i thought it was done for..

i had no problem with the way they started the relationship.. a lot of people start dating after 3-4 meeting but what bothered me is how distant they both are for a couple dating for almost an year.. they meet each other after weeks or months but there meetings look so formal and passionless... i am not saying they should be jumping on each other but they should atleast hug each other while meeting each other... HJ shows more affection towards his two guy friends than his girlfriend... it feels like they started getting distant way before they even went close to each other.. when they break up it will look like a random fling that ended and not the lead couple breaking up... i guess there is more depth in the realtionship b/w HH's sister and jin woo..

then i guess the show might not be your cup of tea...
i got hooked by 2nd episode itself and 1st episode was good enough for me to check the next episode... it is a bit darker than i thought but i liked it..

unofficial sites have upto 720p and for free contents, its pretty good... viki without the pass also only has up to 720p and it dont has many advantages for the money we pay...
netflix content is available on telegram as well.. i never felt the need to subscribe to Netflix until i started following ongoing netflix kdramas.. movies and original series get uploaded in one go and will be available on telegram within hours... i am a very impatient person.. when i get hooked to a drama i want to watch it right away..

yep

india is just 2-3 hours behind s.korea so the wait is longer if watching dramas on viki or unofficial sites..
netflix original gets uploaded by 7:30pm on the same day in netflix india.. the timing on netflix is perfect...

both viki and the other unofficial sites upload subbed version around the same time but we have to pay to watch the drama on viki.. there is no special advantage of watching the drama on paid site like viki.. on the other hand netflix uploads their dramas way before it gets uploaded on unofficial sites and we get the benefits of subscribing netflix...
basically watching it on KS is like watching on viki without giving money...

continue watching.. its really good..
