Goblin Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Pluskylang Great Film overall
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
awikmand Goblin comes with the usual features of Korean romances set in a modern setting. Expect a consistent display of product placements (not always elegantly woven into the story) and the per usual fascination with materialism (high end goods, hot young CEOs and beef… for some reason) that rings a bit false with the moral message that love is true and money doesn't matter. But that aside, it is a heart warming story in which the loves of two couples are cleverly interwoven with a bromance and elements of fantasy that stays on the right side of cheesy. It takes pain seriously (you will find it hard not to go teary at times; the acting is good and the heartaches come across as sincere), but juxtaposes it well with a flippant and light-hearted humour. A few exchanges become lost in translation, presumably due to being specific to the Korean culture and not translating well outside of it. There are also a few episodes halfway through that drags. But it is worth staying with it to the end. A very sweet and entertaining tale. Put it on the list.
pronetomovies I was really hesitant to watch this at first because I'm not really into fantasy stories but since it's gong yoo I gave it a shot and boy did I tell you I regret it? This is so good that I could re-watch it again if it wasn't for the long list of other K-dramas I must watch. Grim reaper and goblin's bromance is undeniably adorable. Kim go-eun's acting is perfect I cried with her.
lia00027 Goblin is maybe will be known as the best mystic Korean drama in 2017. At the beginning of the story we were shown the magnificent strength and the humorist side of the usually ugly-known creature instead here showing the handsome and masculine creature and the dorky yet melancholic grim reaper. What makes this drama interesting is not because of the love story, the good plot or the beautiful scenery and the good shot of scenes but solely because the chemistry love-hate relationship between the grim reaper and the goblin which I found refreshing in kdramas. Find this kind of relationship often happening in jdrama but never in usual melodramatic triangle-love-story kdrama, also sharing screen between 2 big actors whom usually acting as the main lead in their drama is very seldom.Kim Go Eun's acting felt good at first then got me boring since she has no improvement of her character's growing phase, even her sadness couldn't effect me since the emotion that she was showing just like what she would usually show in her other dramas notably "cheese in the trap".Gong Yoo this guy never fails to impress me when acting in romance-comedy drama, while Goblin taken as a suspense-romance drama. Gong Yoo gave the vibe feeling of the lonely and kind god resurrecting his character as the most favorite character of this drama. Lee Dong Wook's acting first is OK but when he was being sad I couldn't sympathize enough with his character since I have watched too many dramas so it takes tons to get me feeling sorry for the actors' acting, can't say he is acting bad though. Yo In Na doing nothing special here except her character just fill in to make the show more interesting. Others are decent actors.For the plot I like how it steadily following the story opening the background and past each character but following the ending the story became too touchy and not really appealing into me anymore. Seems the producer and the writer losing their touch with the beginning of the superb episodes then got lost on how to finish the story with great ending which they fail to do so. Hence vague open-ending presentable for the once-good drama.English songs are OK perfect for the thrill of this drama but the Korean songs are horrible and irritating me with the deaf-tone singers. The Korean songs are just not perfect for this drama or perhaps they could wisely choose better singers since this drama is suspense-romance not melancholic dramatic romance.
snoozy_hehehe GOBLINAt 1st episode it was mind blown, the cinematography is damn good as expected from TVN. My expectation becomes higher, The story is strong and interesting.. Ep2 is still good.. but after that?? I don't understand how come this show become a teenager love story and the goblin suddenly act out of his character, he was a cold blooded general who has killed so many people in the past then now he act silly in front of a teenager? I will be glad if it had more fight scenes, more complicated story plot, more goblin enemies.. as shown from the first episode.. I feel cheated.. my heart is stabbed with goblin's sword!so weird, might as well erase the whole 1st and 2nd episodes. It seems that he as a goblin who was a general is only a decoration to bait me for watching this show. Anyway, i have thrown all of my expectation for this show and only watch this for it's comedy and nice bromance with the grim reaper..But it seems goblin silly character is not really a BIG ISSUE for me to continue. I tried to continue watching yesterday, episode 6, but i really cannot stand of eun tak character anymore, yes, she is a high school teenager, but since she does not have family and been abused by her aunt's family, i don't know why she acts childish like that. She has been cooking and taking care of her aunt's family, she should be more independent & have more dignity, but in ep 6 she was like asking goblin for a big house etc for her, i was like errr..? She always ask money from kim shin and it's kinda annoyed me lol, she seems blackmail kim shin to give her money and house so that she will pull out the sword for him.. I don't even remember that i asked money from stranger, i don't even ask money from my parents, i feel to ashamed to do that. oh well, i view it like that, so i decided to drop the show :P This show really teach young female teenager to ask money from sugar daddy. This Kim Eun Sook writer never ceased to amazed me with her crap lol but she is smart in marketing her dramas coz her dramas always got so popular.. She is lucky to have a good editor and stellar cast to bring in the rating but her writing is weird for me.
