This weekend’s episodes 11 and 12 of Goblin were epic, and in a way not relying on the sound and the fury of narrative excess but instead stringing along quiet moment of pathos that builds and builds. The ratings inched past the 13% nationwide AGB range for both episodes which remains an incredible feat despite the drama not reaching the vaunted heights of tvN‘s biggest hit Answer Me 1988. I love and cried buckets over these two episodes, still not triggered by the central romance but instead by everything else. The death of grandpa offscreen had me sobbing, and the subsequent reveal of how much Wang Yeo/Grim Reaper and Sun/Sunny loved each other but still managed to fall into the trap of evildoers made me weep. Goblin and Sunny’s sibling reunion was wonderfully understated, and all in all I need the evil Park Joong Won to die a thousand infinite deaths in hell to be satisfied with a thorough happy ending for all.

The death of Chairman, the pledge of loyalty by Deokwha to Goblin, the job the loyal soldier who stabbed kimshin. Yes! This eps.. Full pack.
I cried buckets in episode 12!! It was just so good!!! What a shame its not reflected in the ratings yet, I hope it does beat Reply 1988, honestly it was the worse Reply in the series.
how can you say it was the worse when it got the highest ratings among all reply series hence all tvN dramas lol
I'm not saying it's worse... but rating and Reply franchise have build momentum. Hence the later would be higher... I expect the next one could be even higher.
Me too. I cried when wookie cried. And when sun recognize her brother. I hope happy ending for everybody coz their past was already tragic
This week episodes are just amazing! The grim reaper is so pitiful. I bet he was so devastated after he found out his real identity knowing what Wang Yeo did to the Kim siblings that he cared so much.
I hope he gets his happy ending.
I'm more invested in Kim Shin's relationship with the grim reaper and sister as well as the grim reaper and Sunny's relationship with each other than the main couple and that story line.
Eun Tak just doesn't interest me. The goblin and the sword interests me but not her....
Also loved the scenes with his past ally, Deuk Hwa's role, and Samshin Halmoni (especially when she reprimanded the teacher - one of my favorite scenes so far).
Yes yesss,,, ep 11-12 are the best so far.
I'm sorry KGE fans, but I don't care about her character at all, it doesn't connect me to the plot anyway, because the main plot now seem KS-GR-Sunny. "The bride" story is just like a filler and so draggy.
Hope I'm wrong though, maybe KES will surprise us in the next episode about KS and euntak story.
And damn LDW why are you so good??!!! I know he is not a bad actor, but here LDW shines so much, glad that finally he got the GR role.
Can't wait for next week!!
Those episodes were epic ! I cried a lot too. The death of the grandpa was really sad, the fact that the Grimp Reaper knows his past identity and that is love for Sunny is "forbidden" was really sad. Poor sunny, she discovers a new world with goblin, grimp reaper and the fact she had a brother in a past life and her big love in the present was her big love in the past but a tortured one. I found a little bit weird to see the actors of present to play the scene in the past. But they were great.
I'm happy that the storty between the Goblin and Eun Tak didn't progress because I could not bear more drama. Seeing the Goblin crying for the grandpa already killed me.
Loved both episodes and hoping for a happy ending for all. I am not invested in the main love story, but I still enjoy them together so I don't mind her. But seriously, how hot is Gong Yoo? Everytime I think he can't possibly look any better. He does. And he is in an incredible actor.
I loved this week episodes and I did too cried rivers because damn who wouldn't, the narrative was excellent, is what I was waiting since watching episode 1.
The story between Goblin, Reaper and Sunny is so compelling that I wish now what would had been if Goblin and ET had also a past story, because I think that is why it feels so bla sometimes about Goblin and his bride romance, meanwhile reaper and sunny romance just break your heart specially when you see young king seeing for the first time his queen he smiled, a happy smile and then jealousy, anger and sadness and lets not forget the dialog where queen says she basically she is a sister of a traitor who loves him.
I have a question why will the evil eunuch show up now??? Was he waiting for queen to be reincarnated, does he needed the bride to be in loved with our goblin? Because goblin and reaper have been living in our world for hundreds of years.
Or does it has to do because the deity/god that was living in DH body no longer be in it and once again he is playing with our character about fate and destiny. Like one final game.
Can we please start a peitition to convince the Writers and everyone else to do a prequel (drama/movie/mini series)? The Goryeo parts are so mesmerizing and enthralling.
I second that, I wouldn't mind if they made a whole show around Lee El either.....that woman steals each scene she is in and nobody can be dressed in red with so much confidence head to toe like her. This episode hit the nail in the coffin on the fact that I desperately need Yoo Inna back as a leading lady in a good project.
