Hold my beer, there is A LOT to unpack here. A C-drama remake of hit K-drama Goblin is reportedly in the works, casting calls are out and the production team has been assembled. It’s schedule to air exclusively on Netflix and will be a 36-episode drama with 45-minutes per episode. The PD remains unknown but original screenwriter Kim Eun Sook is named as the screenwriter for this remake. The filming will be in Macau, Hainan Island, and Xiamen so South China sea area basically. This does not sound like a cheesy low budget remake which sometimes happens with C-ent remakes, like the upcoming C-remake of W: Two Worlds does not look promising in the least. I don’t know why a C-remake for Goblin is needed with the original is still very watchable and the problems there are with the script which is the remake hews close to will still happen. Though Kim Go Eun really did not work for me as Ji Eun Tak, she’s so much better elsewhere in other roles, so if the right female lead is cast here perhaps it would bridge that. But of course, the giant elephant in the room is which C-drama male lead is A-list enough with the same range of acting charisma as Gong Yoo to play General Kim Shin.
