I thought I was ready.I was NOT.I have heard about this show for so long and I've been wanting to check it out purely to see what's all the fuss is all about. I did not expect the first episode alone to have this strong pf a hook. I'm hooked.

Twinkling Watermelon Episode 3

The run around was so frustrating, for the right reasons. It seems that this coming-of-age story is about to take a much harsher turn. I don't know what about the whole thing of him being stuck on the past, interacting with people he met on his original timeline has me wanting him to hold back on doing anything crazy, well, aside from the fact that it's weird knowing where he came from but also, because I don't know how deep this show will go with thee whole time-shifting aspect of the narrative, I'm just here on the edge of my seat trying to count the number of times this hot-headed teenager was almost forcing the past to branch off its course.

Twinkling Watermelon Episode 2

Sigh.Sometimes, I like to imagine myself as a snobby, world-renowned appraiser who would look down on every other acclaimed "masterpiece" in such an immense lack of interest, trying to show off how high my standards are and how hard it is to even come close to meeting them, yes, I have a wild imagination that runs me down sometimes, but that depiction is far, far away from my real self. But if it were true, this episode would have been the one gem to shatter my expressionless snarl and send me into an exclamation spree.I might just retire.Now, the above may not have made any kind of sense, but that just shows how speechless I was left at the start, during, and at the end of this episode. As if the pilot was not evident enough, this was the golden trophy in bright daylight.I think this might be the best K-drama, or even Asian drama when it comes to "acting", and I mean it in the literal meaning when I say that. The expression, the animated faces, shaky movements, the voice cracks, everything is just spectacular. This is a new high for the medium to me.Now, I have started to put up a few plot threads together during the last episode, and it became even clearer as this one continued, so I kind of saw the plot twist coming, and I wish I hadn't because the delivery would have been even more mind-blowing for me, however, the acting has taken me aback. And this might end up being my favorite show ever.

I went in completely blind on this one, with no synopsis read, no tags checked, and only off of a strong recommendation by my sister. Verdict? I'm hooked.The story telling, at least so far, and unlike many other K-dramas I've seen is more grounded in reality. No exaggerated reactions, totally believable dialog, and a bittersweet showing of life as we know it. I love the characters already, and being able to get attached to them straight out of episode one is honestly such an accomplishment.

Going off of the previous episode. This was just more of it.It was hilarious seeing Gong Yoo complain about mild pain when he was enacting the battle scenes. Also, Woo-bin fake kicking Sunny when she tripped back lmao.I really liked the deep down on the custom designs for the evil advisor, I wish they could have shown the same for the lady in red.

This was not what I expected, but it was definitely a surprise.Basically, a radio show with Sunny and Woo-bin, going over some of the moments from the show and commentating over bloopers. I loved the bromance highlight.

Goblin Special: Every Moment of It Shined Episode 1

I'm not a big fan of recaps, and I can't imagine many people are, although, this one had a spin. It's narrated by our own, secretary Kim! Hoooray.

I can't believe we're here, and what a journey it has been.Yes, the last episode felt like a final episode, but this one really explains why it wasn't as such. So much conclusion was made, and so much opportunity for a new story to start was laid down too. I loved how it all ended. Cheesy as it may have been, from tragedy to a bittersweet resolution. This was a very emotional episode that shows why this series is regarded as an absolute classic.

They linked the restaurant scene so hard, my mind was blown when I realized what it was referencing.All good vibes in this episode, I just want Woo Bin to smile more now.

They did NOT just skip so far away, it basically feels like a whole other plotline setup.I'm not quite fond with the stereotypical use of amnesia in story telling, I'll let this one sit for one more episode and see how it cooks up.I really love Eun Tak's adult hairstyle here.

It just can't end like this, there are three more episodes for this, right? I'm flabbergasted.The sword pull moment was hyped as hell I must admit.

What a tear-jerker this episode was.Especially the stuff about the old man, he didn't even have that much screen time but his death really got to me.Also, did anyone else find it weird how he finally makes up with his sister, and then moments later he snaps out at her? Textbox K-drama tension I guess.

I've been loving the flashbacks, they really help fill in the blanks and make the story more dramatic.Man I hate that the advisor is back, hate that mf.

This has been the most fun I've had while watching this show until this moment. So much was revealed, so many awesome and funny moments to show, it really was that episode with all the exposition and answers all coming around.

This episode, or the most part of it felt like a feverish filler. Everybody changed with how the last episode ended, and just like that, only a tad bit past the middle of this episode it was like nothing ever happened. And everyone resumed their lives like they did before last episode. This is my real nitpick for most K-Dramas, and I hope it doesn't become a problem in this one.I'm just here waiting for Goblin to notice the ring.
