    One of Korea's finest dramas

    Funny, touching, sometimes tragic but always turning back on itself--it is romantic; well-written and directed with a terrific cast of some of the best Korean actors. It is a wonderful story filled with humor, pathos, tension, romance, and themes of retribution, compassion, and forgiveness; true love, friendship, and great joy. K-Drama got it right on this one from its gripping introduction to a beautiful, satisfying conclusion. It is an amazing series--a fine accomplishment in theme, style, and vision.

    a heart-pounding universal masterpiece

    Simply amazing. The picturesque cinematography, the soundtrack, the full packed and unpredictable storyline was breathtaking to watch. The drama gave great aesthetic pleasure and the dialogue was beautiful. 'Because the weather was good, because the weather was bad, and because the weather was good enough. I loved every moment of it." The goblin who stays by your side, the bride who loves and remembers him, the days I spent watching Goblin were the happiest.

    Gold Standard

    Once in a very long while, the stars align to create truly transcendent art on screen. "Goblin" is an example of this, as the maturation of talented writer Kim Eun-Sook blends with nuanced directing, breathtaking cinematography and the formidable acting skills of Gong Yoo and the rest of the stellar cast.

    This is great art and great television, regardless of the country of origin. That is not to minimize the South Korean expertise that created it, but simply to avoid the sometimes- backhanded compliment of "great...for a KDrama." It's just great TV, full stop.

    I've watched KDramas for about a decade, and this one is the best I've seen. Highly recommended, not just for drama fans, but for all fans of quality cinematic art around the world.

    The best TV show I have ever seen!

    This is just pure awesome all the way. I mean honestly, it's unbelievable how good this is. I only have minor gripes with product placements, but it's not too serious & without them they couldn't have financed the drama. Pretty much everything is perfection, flawless casting, flawless acting , amazing story, some of the most epic & most emotional moments in TV history. There was that moment when Eun Tak talked about what a great day she had, I don't recall I have ever felt like that watching a TV show or anything else on the big screen really. The OST is out of this world good too, it really helps with the feels.

    I cried a river.

    I finally watched the final episode's heartbreaking scene after watching it several times since 2016. I love everything about it. I was kinda annoyed with frequent flashbacks but it was negligible. I love that the story is unique and flawless from start to finish. Usually the drama will have good start but bad ending or the other way around. But goblin makes sense on what happened to each of the characters. I love the actors and the supporting actors. Many bashed Ji Eun Tak saying that she is not pretty, but I cannot think of any one for that role that would fit for the character than her. I laughed, I cried, I was in awe every time I watched this Kdrama. It is better to watch this in repeat than watch a new sucky drama.

    • Quotes

      Kim Shin: [narrating] Mass is not proportional to volume. A girl as small as violet. A girl who moves like a flower petal pulls me with a greater force than earth. Just then, like Newton's apple I rolled toward her without stopping until I fell on her, with a thump. With a thump. My heart was bouncing between the sky and ground.It was my first love.
