Goblin review
도깨비Checked and re-read
The most watched drama in this catalog, and the one whose reputation sits furthest from how it actually plays. A 939-year-old man, the woman who can end him, a grim reaper who forgot his own name, and the best thing in it is not the romance: it is the two men sharing a house and refusing to admit they are friends. The problem is the middle, which is slow to a fault and replays scenes it has already given you, with enough filler in it to have made a tighter twelve episodes. The last two hours then resolve their own rules with a convenience the sixteen hours before them did not earn. Give it eight episodes before you judge it, and expect it to rewatch better than it first watches.
In his quest for a bride to break his immortal curse, a 939-year-old guardian of souls meets a grim reaper and a sprightly student with a tragic past.
Slow start Episode 8. Everything before it is mood, rules and comedy, and the buildup asks for real patience. From episode 8 the show stops explaining itself and starts spending.
