ONE OF THE BEST KDRAMAS TO HAVE AIRED IN HISTORY! A MUST WATCH!
If you haven't heard of Goblin while looking for dramas to watch.. then I'm sorry to say that you've been living under a rock. The trailers had everyone hyped and the actual drama did NOT disappoint.
plot: In ancient times, Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) is an unbeatable general in wars, but the young King is jealous of Kim Shin and kills him. Kim Shin becomes a Dokkaebi (Goblin), possessing an immortal life. At first he thinks that he is blessed, but he realizes that he is cursed.
Closer to the present day, Kim Shin has waited 900 years for a human bride to end his immortal life. One night, he saves a dying pregnant woman who is destined to die. Meanwhile, the Grim Reaper (Lee Dong-Wook) is unable to find the dead pregnant woman. The woman gives birth to a baby girl named Ji Eun-Tak (Kim Go-Eun). 9 years later, Ji Eun-Tak lives with her mother and is able to see ghosts. One night, her mother suddenly dies. On that night, she meets the Grim Reaper.
In the present day, Ji Eun-Tak is a high school student. She still sees ghosts and hears their whisper of "Dokkaebi's bride." She now lives with her aunt's family, but she is mistreated by them. On her birthday, Ji Eun-Tak sits by the sea with a lighted birthday cake. At that time, Kim Shin suddenly appears in front of her. Kim Shin does not know why, but he can hear her voice and appears in front of her against his will. Coincidentally, Kim Shin lives with the Grim Reaper at the same house.
Now, Kim Shin appears in front of her against his will, whenever she blows a candle. One day, Ji Eun-Tak tells him that he is the Goblin and she is his bride.
review: There's not much for me to say about this drama unless you wish me to spoil it!
This is such a beautiful and well-rounded drama. It honestly has everything you look for in a drama: humor, romance, fantasy, a bit of action/mystery. The fact that it deviates from the usual plot that Korean dramas have makes it THAT much more good of a drama.
Each OST is sooo good & not only are they catchy, but the producers chose the artists very well. I've even learned a few songs on the piano because the melody is so nice!
The acting is literally ON POINT and nothing was lacking. You'll love all the characters in this drama. You guys have no idea how hard it is not to spoil this drama for you, but trust me when I say that if you don't watch this drama.. you are not LIVING.
Can you believe Kim Go-Eun was bashed.. not because of her acting but because people believed she was ugly. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, SHE IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL HUMAN BEING.
