The ending is both good and bad. It’s like they had some time to kill so they took things in a weird direction, which was kind of a train wreck. Truly it’s bizarre how bad the writing is in the first half episode 12. Fortunately it gets back on the right track and gives us the ending we want. I’m a fan of this series. I liked it a lot but episode 12 was like it was written by different writers. If I rewatch it I’ll skip over the weird storyline introduced in episode 12.

Me too! Loved the dorky talking-plant thing? I kept thinking why is this weird plant thing seem cute to me and not just stupid? 😂

Let’s also talk about the fact that the ML just resumes his working relationship with the dude that pushed his wife off the cliff with the hopes that she would die.

…AND this drama also had a secondary couple that I actually liked.

Also did they go to bed in a jungle and during their sexy time magically move to the beach?

Exactly!!! Me too. What the heck?

1. How can all the wounds inflicted in this series magically heal so fast? Production error in continuity or knowingly done to keep the actors perfect? Seriously did they not have enough room in the budget for wound makeup. Everything from the first cut on her neck to his massive burns just magically disappear.

2. 12 episode - everything with him disappearing to Aragan and her following was just poor writing. What the heck was that? It totally didn’t belong in this drama. It just didn’t fit with the rest of the story.

I love this drama! Truly, nearly perfect for me but falls just shy of 10/10 for two reasons, one is a small offense and the other is just baffling to me. See comment.

Exactly!!!! What were they thinking?

Exactly!!! I mean what the heck?

How did the terminally ill girlfriend die? Did she die from her illness or was it suicide? ML leaves her on the bus to find FL to confess and then gets the call she is gone. The timing makes me think suicide but they don’t confirm it. Did I miss something in the translation?

Question in comments for those who watched it…

Enjoyed this. I can’t help comparing it to the Kdrama. I actually liked them both for different reasons. The ML in the Kdrama was a walking red flag but the attraction between the leads was fire. The Jdrama story was still sexy but also very sweet. It wasn’t just about their attraction for each other. Their relationship seems to have more substance in the Jdrama than the Kdrama. The Kdrama’s leads just have more of that sizzling chemistry that makes for a good watch. Both are decent dramas.

Yes! I thought the same thing. Is abuse an acceptable thing in Taiwan? Is it acceptable because he is his son? Terrible father.

Yes! I totally agree. Hopefully we see him in more high quality dramas in the future.

- Taxi driver basically foreshadows the entire series (life’s chance for a do-over) on her cab ride back from the hospital.
- Cab driver refunds her money.
- She notices blue heart on the bill and know that Taxi driver was her dad because of the blue heart
- After she returns to the past and later she has a conversation with Yu Hyuk about her “Dad giving her this gift.” In it she explains that her dad would put small hearts on all the gifts (money included) he gave to her. The blue heart was like her dad’s signature.
- without actually saying it in words, I believe that it is implied that both her second chance and Yu Hyuk second chance were gifts from her dad. Because she was receiving Yu Hyuk himself as the gift, he had the signature blue heart.

So I have been hesitant on watching this drama because it just looks so darn depressing. I tried to stay away from shows that are way too sad. I need light with the dark. Should I stay away?

I love Sung Hoon. Why is he so vastly underrated in all the best actor list? He is in my top 5 favorites. I have seen where people say he can’t act and that he “phoned in” his performance here. i just don’t see it! I think he’s amazing. He’s so good at acting vulnerable. It just makes me want to give him a hug. It also helps that he is super good looking. 😂
This drama is so very good. The villain Mom is the absolute worst. I HATE her so much. It makes the story way better when the villain is universally hated.

Okay, It’s all about Sunny and the Grim Reaper reincarnation story. Would love to see more of it. I love the brief look into it we get in episode 16. Somewhere in the telling of their love story the remember their past lives and meet up again with the Goblin and his bride. Even if it’s just a cameo. I guess we could just pretend the main couple in “Touch Your Heart” was their reincarnation story. No, I want an actual Goblin 2 with both couples and the nephews.

I’m currently watching this for the third time. I really love this drama. It might just be my favorite of all time. Hmmm… it’s definitely in my top 10.
My ideas for Goblin 2… 😂
