Goblin is a fantasy romance about a modern day goblin who seeks to end his cursed immortal life and needs a human bride to do so.
His life then becomes intertwined with a grim reaper who is unable to remember his past. But when he finally finds his bride, he suddenly realizes he wants to live and be with her.
Goblin is an epic tale with an interesting story that spans centuries. It was quite an interesting and amazing ride filled with some amazing characters, talented actors, and a fresh and unique story woven beautifully throughout each episode.
I really love seeing a Korean drama with such a heavy fantasy concept. It creates a full mythology surrounding the characters and how certain things work in reality.
That makes discovering this world and its secrets very, very interesting.
Visually, Goblin is absolutely stunning and good-looking. And so much detail and hard work went into setting up the shots and individual scenes. It was all done very artistically and with full efforts. The drama also filmed several scenes in Canada that featured some breathtaking and beautiful scenery.
There are some very impressive shots in the opening episode, featuring an intense battle during the historical portion and a huge ship caught in water storms. The historical portion as a whole had a very cinematic quality to it that was also very gripping and interesting right from the start.
Korean actor plays our cursed Goblin, Kim Shin. There are many sides to Shin’s character, and he played them all perfectly. He’s a brave and fierce warrior in the historical portion, where he finds himself at odds with the king.
In the present, he is lonely and weary from his long life, but meeting his Goblin bride brings out his more carefree and fun side. And Goblin delivered plenty of intensity, portraying the emotional journey Shin goes on throughout the drama.
We then have our Goblin bride, played by an actress. The actress was very endearing as Goblin bride. She was bright, adorable, beautiful and full of life. Her youthful exuberance is like a ray of sunshine that warms up Shin’s heart. It’s easy to see why our Goblin falls hard for her.
Her reason for existing has always been to break the Goblin’s immortal curse. But she is unaware that breaking that curse will cause Shin to disappear into nothingness, and he will be no longer existing. She has a difficult road to travel in her love story with him, and much more coming ahead.
Our Grim Reaper, I have a soft spot for him, and I absolutely loved his character. He has such a commanding presence that instills power and fear, yet his easy transitions to a sort of awkward and bumbling character.
I loved watching him navigate the modern world and dating life so awkwardly, it looks cute. He’s such a genuine guy, and I couldn’t help but root for him to succeed. But he has some difficult truths to face ahead of him. Grim reaper drew me in with his powerful display of emotions. He has an intensity that hits me on a deep level.
The actress who played sunny was lovely as Sunny. She seems a bit bored with life, but things really change up, for her, when the Grim Reaper shows up doing all of these things she finds strange and fascinating.
I do think as an actress and Sunny as a character were terribly underutilized in the first half of the drama with very little screen time. Luckily, she is able to shine and be bold in the second half.
Side actor did well as a supporting character. His family has served and been with the Goblin for 900 years. He’s immature and a bit spoiled, but he has a good heart. He was a nice addition to the Goblin family.
My favorite parts of the drama were the more dramatic aspects that focused on the story surrounding Shin, his backstory, his curse, and how everyone was connected to that.
The story is very rich, and I loved delving deep into it. The drama sets up the story very well, with high stakes and plenty of interesting questions.
While it does take a while to get answers to all the questions, once we continue deeper into the story, the drama just gets better and better.
Goblin is a unique drama in the Korean drama landscape. Its rich fantasy story that intertwined everyone’s fates was done very eloquently.
Each character is memorable and engaging and completely brought to life by all the talented actors portraying them.
It’s an epic story of love, friendship, and forgiveness that tugs at the heart. It’s a poignant and moving drama that definitely left a lasting impression.
