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.

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.
