Goblin is one of those ground-breaking, exceptional drama that everyone, no matter their genre preferences, will surely appreciate, if not love.

The drama provided us with not just romance, but also fantasy, history, tragedy and comedy at once and nailing them all in one go. It delivered an outstanding and picture-perfect plot that will leave an unwavering impression on you in the end.

The plot was the absolute star in the drama. It was so complex yet so brilliantly woven. And not all writers could do that. It was honestly, one of the best plot I've ever known. It delivered everything you would want from a well-written background story to the plot holes and cliffhangers, the unexpected plot twists, the intricate mixed emotions delivered in every scene, to the moving romances.

Gong Yoo paired up with Kim Go-eun was surprising and refreshing. It was a pairing we did not see coming but it was a perfect pairing for the drama. I was initially relecutant with the two as their huge age gap was evident in the beginning. But the drama and the story were able to ease up that awkward phase and soon faded away. It didn't matter anymore as the plot was just too good to even nitpick those very few flaws.

I have high respects to the writer, Kim Eun-sook,for creating such an original, quintessential script. I fell in love with the story before I even realized it. And the way she carefully and cleverly weave the subplots to the main plot was a stroke of genius.

And with strong leads, it would've been easy for the minor characters to fade into the background. But with the drama, everyone seemed to be the main character. Each character had a story to tell that is relevant to the entirety of the plot. Every one was charming and ultimately earned a place in my heart.

For one, Lee Dong-wook's brilliant portrayal of Grim Reaper was hard to miss. He was first introduced with a villainous vibe but soon became a loving character that tugged our hearts in the most beautiful and tragic way.

Even with a minor character such as Yook Sung-jae's Deok-hwa, he definitely delivered like a main character in the drama. He stood side-by-side with the bigger characters and earned his own spotlight. An artist cannot always be a good actor, but Sung-jae was an exception.

The OST was also one of the best I've ever listened to. I was never into a drama's music, much less the entire soundtrack. But with Goblin, every song was a perfect hit. It was melodious, haunting, eerie, and beautiful.

Overall, Goblin is a picture-perfect drama that definitely deserves a spot right next to the timeless classics. It was pure poetry painted exquisitely for everyone to indulge.
