If this were 100% less pedo it would be a 10.
This drama gets MASSIVELY great reviews and for good reason, it's incredibly well done with a compelling story and great acting. It is, however, at its core a story about a super old dude in love with a minor at various stages of her life. In some of those stages she's for sure an adult...but in most of them she's a minor. I'm gonna be honest, I found it super hard to enjoy the really fun story this show depicts because I was so completely cringed out by the pedo aspects in probably 10/16 of the episodes. If you can get past that part, it's a really great watch.I wouldn't be able to rewatch this ever, because the pedo thing is super icky and I think I can only make myself overlook it the one time.

The last episode
This Kdrama is good, sorta, I just feel like some parts were unnecessary. For a quick example, why did the main character have to die just to be reborn looking exactly the same? it did not really change the story, in my opinion. I feel like they just had an extra 30 min for the last episode, and did not know what to add, so they just threw that idea. Also, the reaper and sunny relationship was lowkey annoying to watch. it felt endless to me.This k drama did make me shed a tear when Eun Tak pulled out the sword from Kim Shin if I have to be honest, and the cinematography was very visually pleasing
The song slaps though, I still listen to it,

UMA LENDA QUE VAI TE MARCAR COM CERTEZA
No começo foi meio empurrado, e confesso que pensei que o povo estava dando valor demais a essa série. Estava errada. Comecei e ter um interesse mais profundo próximo do episodio 8, e daí para frente não teve mais volta. Achei extremamente interessante a forma como os personagens se chamavam pelo papel deles, e não pelos nomes: Trabalho-de-meio-período, Tio-do-final-do-corredor, etc.Achei interessante a forma como no início os dois nitidamente não se gostam. Não é como se eles se odiassem nem nada assim, só não se gostam mesmo. A impressão que dá é que o Goblin pensa "Sério que eu esperei 900 anos por essa garota?" hahahaha. É bonito ver como a relação deles vai se desenvolvendo aos poucos, não dá para dizer com certeza quando eles começam a se amar. O casal secundário começou bem, mas depois perdi um pouco o interesse neles. Ri várias vezes, e me emocionei. O final foi angustiante, triste e lindo ao mesmo tempo. É aquele tipo de dorama que te dá vontade esquecer e ver tudo de novo. As músicas são perfeitas, pouquíssimos doramas tiveram esse efeito em mim, as músicas são perfeitas, lindas demais (exceto "Beautiful" essa eu não gostei). Algumas pontas ficaram soltas, é verdade, mas não muitas. Indico com certeza.

Honestly... I went back and forth about whether or not I should actually watch this drama but I kept seeing it's name mentioned in articles related to Asian dramas or list of dramas to watch or something near to that, so I thought... let's give it a shot and see what happens.
Let me tell you, this show had me on the edge of my seat for the two days I took to watch it, Now I'm sorry I didn't watch it months ago when I first saw it. The plot, the actors, the settings, the music... everything was on point. I started crying and laughing from as early as episode one. That right there is a good indication of whether or not a drama will be good. If it can have you in tears within the first hour that more than says something.
I see and hear people complaining about the age gap between the male and female leads and I really don't see anything wrong with it. Maybe it's because I live in the west where most persons are considered to be adults by age 18. At the start of the series the female lead is 19 and in my country I had friends who were married at that age. In the drama nothing serious happened until the female lead was 20, which is the age of an adult in South Korea and the kisses didn't get steamy and heavy until she was a lot older.
All in all this drama is a must watch. You won't regret it.

L'éternité c'est long... surtout vers la fin...
Donc, j’ai fini Gobelin (oui je l’écris à la française ^^)et j’ai vraiment bien aimé.Alors, j’avoue que sans l’aura magique de Gong Yoo, sa grâce, son élégance, sa voix vibrante, son talent riche et varié, je ne sais pas si j’aurais tenu jusqu’au bout, le début était vraiment broussailleux et labyrinthique et il a bien fallu tout le drama pour finir par comprendre les tenants aboutissants de tout ce petit monde magique !
Bref, une fois franchis ces buissons épineux la suite m’a vraiment plu ! Toute une bonne partie du drama est tressée de tragique et de comique, avec la relation excellente et tordante du Gobelin et de l’Ange de la Mort jusqu’au moment où les réincarnations se révèlent et où la tragédie prend le pas sur la comédie, sans pour autant qu’elle disparaisse complètement : (les adieux de Wang Yeo, si bouleversants, qui se terminent sur le conseil de ne pas oublier d’étendre la lessive...)
L’histoire de l’Âme perdue, épouse du Gobelin m’a vraiment touchée, de sa naissance à sa mort, sa capacité à assumer un destin implacable, sa force et sa clarté d’âme, j’ai trouvé que c’était un très beau personnage et une belle idée scénaristique.
Mais l’actrice m’a souvent tapé sur les nerfs par son ton pleurnichard ou « petite fille », parlant toujours comme si elle était enrhumée… enfin, je suis très difficile avec les actrices coréennes, je l’avoue !
L’idée de la punition divine changeant les pêcheurs (graves, hein, pas les voleurs de poule ! )en Ange de la Mort, qui doit exister dans la mythologie coréenne parce que déjà vue, jumelée avec la problématique de la réincarnation, ça m’a aussi énormément plu ! Un bon point pour Lee Dong Wokqui est beaucoup remonté dans mon estime, surtout après l’avoir vu dans Life !
Il faut dire que je baigne dans la mythologie japonaise, et que chez eux aussi les yokaï et autres monstres peuplent le quotidien et les fantômes ne sont jamais loin ! Donc ça aide !
Je n’ai donc pas eu de mal à suivre tout ça et particulièrement le tout dernier épisode, où, je pense qu’il s’est passé bien plus de trente ans quand reviennent Sunny et Wang Yeo, enfin réunis grâce aux nombreuses lanternes magiques envoyées par Kim Shin ! On sent bien que le temps passe, dure, s’éternise pour Kim Shin, qui erre et traine sa solitude douloureuse, puis apaisée.
Et bien sûr que la nouvelle Eun Tak le reconnaît ! N’a-t-elle pas refusé le thé de l’oubli ? Ne le cherche-t-elle pas ? ça c’est une idée qui me plaît, et qui est bien consolante ! (cependant ça ne durera qu’une vie, ou même 3, et ensuite, la solitude éternelle pour Kim Shin… ça c’est moins drôle, mais peut-être remplira-t-il son éternité de bonnes actions ! )
J’aime beaucoup le personnage de Sunny,bien dans la ligne de Kim Sun, qui refuse l’oubli salvateur, mais qui maintient la punition de Wang Yeo jusqu’au bout, bien que Kim Shin ait fini par lui pardonner.
Toujours dans les compliments, la musique, vraiment belle, les chansons très supportables et même belles pour certaines, la beauté des images, l’élégance des effets spéciaux, … et la magnifique garde-robe de Gong Yoo, d’une classe et d’une élégance peu courante dans les dramas (d’ailleurs il doit avoir un costumier attitré, depuis longtemps, je m’étais fait la même remarque déjà pour Coffee Prince !)
Bon, les défauts : la longueur des épisodes, avec des review longs et inutiles, des pauses-regards, des ralentis excessifs (surtout dans les deux premiers épisodes), l’usage du bruit sonore des pas trop répété, une prise de son qui ne laisse rien passer des bruits secondaires (papier froissé par exemple) mais tout ça n’est pas grand chose, et surtout une fin un peu décevante après la magnifique, flamboyante et déchirante fin de l’épisode 13 !
Il fallait pourtant régler des questions, mais là il y avait un choix à faire :
retour ou pas pour Kim Shin ? moi, je suis radicale,ma fin :
il ne revient pas, la vie continue pour les autres, qui ont tout oublié (sauf L’Ange) le dernier départ de l’Ange aurait été celui de Eun Tak très longtemps après…. pour terminer sur la rencontre d’une autre Eun Tak, d’un autre Kim Shin, qui bien que ne se connaissant pas et n’ayant aucun souvenir l’un de l’autre, ne peuvent s’empêcher de tomber amoureux au premier regard…ce qui évite au malheureux Gong Yoo une éternité de solitude inéluctable, ce qui est long, surtout vers la fin, comme chacun sait !
La fin, je lai trouvée mollassonne jusqu’au départ de l’Ange et de Sunny, très réussi et touchant, alors que celui de Eun Tak ne m’a pas convaincue, trop long et surtout l’air de ravie de la crèche permanent de l’actrice me gênait, malgré le talent de Gong Yoo dont le chagrin était déchirant et profond.
Pourquoi fallait-il la faire mourir à ce moment-là ? je n’en vois pas trop la raison ! ça leur fait perdre 50 ans sans raison !

Also, I was quite surprised with the characters. In spite of the hate that the main couple receives because of their 12 year difference, I kind of get where the writer was going. Also I didn't find the relationship between the 2 awkward, and I loved the fact that Eun Tak acted as her age and didn't try to be more mature, despite of what she has gone through in her life. I was a big fan of her character and her positive and brave personality, the fact that she didn't hide her feelings for the Goblin was quite fresh and helped in avoiding not needed drama to the series.
In my case, I love the Grim Reaper the most. Also his character is the most interesting one in whole bunch. Lee Dong Wook is such a talented actor, especially when it comes to emotional scenes, he has one of the best crying faces in the industry. I love the complex story that surrounded his character and how he comes in term with it.
Goblin is really a beautiful drama. It deals with reincarnation, a theme that is not really used, and if it is, usually is some kind of subplot. It's interesting to see how souls can recognize each other, and how there stories can tangle up again and again. It will make you curious of your own world, our world, and make you think of moments that maybe you felt and instant connection with someone. It may be fantasy but who really knows, reality is that we ourselves don't know the mysteries that are attached to life and death or what is beyond it.
I recommend you to watch this drama with an open heart, ready to be surprised and question it. Truth is we all like some miracles in our life, and this drama is good in that aspect, it is full of miracles and topics that weren't discussed before.
So enjoy the ride and let it make you fall in love with it and its characters!

The story is interesting and keeps you wondering about what's gonna happen next.
I will probably watch another drama of GY but I do not think that I'll watch one of KGE dramas. I have watched Train to Busan and he is very talented.
while watching there is one thing might irritate you that is the great age difference betw Goblin & ET.
That love things in the edge of being a pedapholie
Goblin is a man who is over 900 yrs old but looks like a man who is in his late 30's early 40's while ET is only 19 yrs old and a high schooler. She is inlove with a man who is at the age of her dad / can be easily have / had kids at her age.
And if we think of the era he comes from he possibly might have concubines, wives and a couple of kids.
They are good match physically but in this drama, it was over the border. I do ship them but not on this drama, they can easily be bf / gf as KGE likes elderly guys and GY likes younger girls.
I was more interested in Sunny and Grim Reaper couple. they were a fantastic couple.
There were a lot of product placements, from stuff toys, to TBS White Musk Perfume, which I end up buying and now using a room spray as the perfume is that much crap, the watches he wore, canon camera which is worth over £2000 this is with only a small lens.
I only find the Canon placement irritating I thought it was related with the upcoming scenes as they have openly showed us, like poking someone's eye. it was that obvious.
I really enjoyed the Canada scenes, and a couple of Korea Seoul scenes but that's it.
I want to see Yoo In Na, LDW, Yook Sung Jae, & Lee El in one drama. I will not go back & rewatch this drama. It was one shot for me, I will forget about it within few months.
If it was not KGE as a leading lady, and if there were less flashbacks, less repetitions it would be an excellent drama

It is a very realistic drama, while having fantasy elements(with great special effects) which makes it x100 times better. It has great life stories. And what I mean by life is that it has friendship, family, and great love. It talks about being a human, it talks about learning to love yourself and others. It is funny, it is sad, it is beautiful and every moment of it shines. It is just one the best stories I have ever seen and I wish everyone would get to see this.

Story: The story line was spectacular, the idea in itself was original. I've never watched anything remotely close to Goblin's story line. The way everything was timed and spaced was perfect, I never felt like there was a moment of boredom. The plot, the poems, the scenes, the cinematography, my god, the cinematography was pure bliss. It really shows the amount of work and thinking that went into this production. Even the ending, - I won't go into detail with that, as not to spoil it for the people who haven't watched it yet - this was one of the very few dramas that wrapped up the ending very well. Even though it was bittersweet, it just felt right and made total sense. There wasn't anything that was over the top or thrown in together just to satisfy the audience even though it makes no sense whatsoever. There was Romance, Comedy and Suspense weaved in together perfectly. Cheers to the writer and producer.
Acting/Cast: I've read a few comments here and there while the drama was still airing. Some people found the relationship between the Goblin and Eun Tak disturbing because of the large age gap (939 years), but if you think about it, it wouldn't have made sense for them to just meet for the first time when she was older. He's been living for the past 900 years, so his bride was bound to be born sometime throughout his lifetime and she is bound to be much younger than him. Also, the production team limited the relationship between the Goblin and the younger Eun Tak to cutesy and adorable moments. There was nothing immoral about it. So if anyone is hesitating to watch this drama because of this issue then fear not. I felt like the cast did an amazing job. Each actor and actress portrayed their characters in a way that made me laugh and cry with them. I felt each person's sorrow and pain. Even the chemistry between them was amazing. The Bromance between the Goblin and the Grim Reaper was mind blowing. I feel like if it weren't for this specific cast, the story line wouldn't have been portrayed as seamlessly as it had been. SO, Cheers to the cast as well.
Music: The OST was superb. You won't be able to prevent yourself from repeatedly playing the songs on a loop. Whenever I was waiting for the next episode to air, I would just play the OST and reminisce on the previous scenes.

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! ^^

There has been a long time since a drama moved me in such a way like this one. It is a touching and sincere love story and have the one thing I love the most about romance, it being drama, movie or book. Goblin has “great love”. For the ones who doesn’t know, “great love” is that genuine love that the person is capable of sacrificing everything for the other one, without selfishness or jealousy or greed. It is just pure love and it is great. Many love stories try this line but few achieve it, Goblin does.
If you are reading this, you probable already read de description on the top of the page, it is terrible so let me tell you. This drama is the story of a goblin, a darned creature, who was crushed to walk on earth forever and see all his loved ones die. The only person capable of ending this curse, so he can go to ashes, is his bride. So he goes on waiting for the bride to appear. That’s all you need to know.
It is beautifully made, the tempo of all drama is well done, none of it gets boring, in the end of each episode you will die wanting more. For the drama veterans, it don’t have almost any clichés of Korean dramas, no second league guy, no annoying girl, no mother in low or and to me it fells new and refreshing. It has one thing that is cliché but this one is to you to find out.
And the acting, I can say that Goblin revived a lot of carriers and impulse new ones, for sure. Gong Yoo as Kim Shin was a gift to me, it had been such a long time I watched and loved a drama with him. I love Coffee Prince, and I love him on Coffee Prince. So to me watch him doing so good as the Goblin makes me really pound. Kim Go Eum was a nice surprise, I watched some episodes of Cheese in a Trap, but I didn’t finished it so I couldn’t tell mush of her background, in Goblin she is refreshing and funny and a strong female lead, you can relate to her and both of them together is explosive .
In the beginning I thought the age difference between the characters would make it a little weird, not because the Goblin has more than 900 years, but Gong Yoo is in this late 30’s and Ji Eum Tak is in high school. She even calls him “ajushi”, but you buy it and you buy their love, by the way, she is over eighteen.
For the second roles, Lee Dong Wook as the Grim Reaper was other acting as was really happy to see revived, he was not long gone like Gong Yoo but the last few years I was happier watching him in Roommate than in a drama, and it is sad. But he did so well in Goblin that I hope the next drama he does are the same incredible. Yoo In Na, Sunny, did also an amazing job, I don’t know if I’m being mean but seems like In Na has a face of a mean lead but do so much well as second one, not saying she is not talented but she did so well in this character that I want to see her do it again.
One very important point I have to talk about is the Grim Reaper and Sunny story line. Technically is the second story line but it is so well treated here that it feels like main one. The two story lines need each other to be excellent and neither of them feels less because of it. It is something really hard to do in story telling. So applause to the Globin team for archiving it.
About the sound track, “Never far Away” is my favorite music high now. I listen to it 5 or 6 times a day. So it is enough to say I love it and if someone say it is not good, they are crazy. The rest of the songs too, are amazing.
And about the end, it is something very important to me in a drama. It can break or make the drama for me. There was so many drama that went down on ranking to me because of bad ending, I was afraid this one would too. It didn’t. The end is not fairytale, it is not necessary happy… it is beater sweet I would say, but it is as much of beautifully made as the rest of the drama. And now if I think about it, for the entire drama there was clues of the end, you just don’t realize it.
So, you may be wondering why my score was 9,5 and not a 10 if I liked it so much. Well, even if it was an amazing drama, there were some questions and inexplicable aspects that this drama didn’t answer. Things that I found out in the internet but it was the drama that had to give me it, but how it was nothing major I just took 0,5 a point.
Overall Goblin is a jewel, worth of watching at least one time or three or four. I’m for sure coming back and watching it again.
