I’m already so in love with Goblin it’s not funny, and definitely the recipe for heartbreak and tears down the road with how dark and beautifully moody the story construct is. The drama doesn’t have the hallmarks or feel of a Kim Eun Sook drama at all, even the quippy dialogue is kept to a minimum as the words are … Continue reading →
The first volley out of the gate is a resounding hit that has the legs to be a home run. The first episode of cable network tvN‘s Fri-Sat new drama Goblin garnered a 6.322% AGB nationwide ratings, breaking the record set on that network time slot by Answer Me 1988 with 6.14% AM1988 went on to become a national drama … Continue reading →
I would love to be a fly on the wall during the upcoming dinner between an immortal goblin and a grim reaper, and luckily I just have to be a viewer and tune into this Friday’s premiere of highly anticipated tvN fantasy drama Goblin. I think all the promos and previews are done and all that is left is the … Continue reading →
Goblin held it’s press conference last week earlier than usual so it’s been an additional week wait for the drama to arrive this Friday December 2nd. Only thing will tell if screenwriter Kim Eun Sook will hit her usual ratings gold moving over to cable network tvN, and whether she has once again crafted characters and narrative that will get … Continue reading →
Upcoming tvN fantasy drama Goblin is either playing the long con or the smart tease with me, and I definitely prefer it to be the latter. The days drama press conferences are held mere days or even hours before the drama airs but Goblin is still a week away from airing and the photogenic cast already met the press and … Continue reading →
It’s been four years since Gong Yoo‘s last drama, the high profile Hong sisters rare flop that was Big. But apparently it’s been five years of repeated wooing from screenwriter Kim Eun Sook to get Gong Yoo to accept her drama, which in essence means he was offered A Gentleman’s Dignity, Heirs, and Descendants of the Sun before he finally … Continue reading →
Oh my gosh does Goblin look ahhhhhmazing in the long 6-minute preview. I was making nnnngggg incoherent noises at every mesmerizing frame and couldn’t look away for a second. Whatever Kim Eun Sook has up her sleeve I’m certain it’s worth a first look on visuals alone rather than outright dismissiveness over some of her flaws in narrative and characterization. … Continue reading →
This is a first for me with respect to a Kim Eun Sook penned drama – I love the drama posters for Goblin! Like, love love love them all! A few are weird and random and just the thing to capture the attention, the like one above with male leads Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo battling over a pepper … Continue reading →
Gosh, both sets of OTP in upcoming fantasy drama Goblin certainly are looking mighty cute together. Well, the main leads Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun are more professor and student cute, and I mean that not as a taboo teacher-student romance and more Rex Harrison professor in My Fair Lady with his pygmalion Eliza Doolittle. The 900 year old immortal … Continue reading →
It’s going to awhile before I get bored with the visual of Gong Yoo in his best Korean Aragorn Lord of the Rings impression in the unexpected flashback previews from Goblin. The combination of Gong Yoo having never done a sageuk role whether drama or movie, along with how smexy he looks doing it now, creates the explosive force of catnip … Continue reading →
I thought screenwriter Kim Eun Sook was taking on a lot with her expansive medical disaster zone romance drama Descendants of the Sun, now it looks like she was just warming up for larger scale set pieces in upcoming fantasy drama Goblin. The stills and teasers so far have been melancholy and contemplative for the most part, whatever character or … Continue reading →
It’s nice to finally see the remaining two leads of Goblin get their share of the limelight, with this week’s release of drama stills showing second female lead Yoo In Na and supporting young actor Yook Sung Jae. This is Yoo In Na’s second go-around with screenwriter Kim Eun Sook, the last time being her breakout supporting role as the … Continue reading →
K-actor Gong Yoo may be playing an immortal mystical Goblin in the titular fantasy tvN K-drama but he’ll be having male competition from both the human and inhuman sides. His roommate in the drama will be played by Lee Dong Wook, who isn’t your average roomie and in the just released stills above show a contentious first meeting with Gong … Continue reading →
