Now that the first big narrative hurdle is passed in Goblin, looks like more lighthearted complications are coming up with a side of jealousy. Eun Tak may be the Goblin’s bride in that she can see the sword impaling him, but for whatever reason she can’t grab it and pull it out. A nice feint by writer Kim Eun Sook, … Continue reading →

TGIF takes on new meaning for me for the next 7 weeks as tvN airs the fantasy drama Goblin on Fridays, and with the college football season done for the year then Saturdays is also devoted to another helping of Goblin in the weeks to come.

Episode 2 of Goblin Hits All the Right Narrative Notes and Ratings Rise to 7.9%

A Koala's Playground Posted on December 3, 2016 by ockoalaDecember 3, 2016
Three scenes from a romantic drama series.

So what’s so good about Goblin? Oh, how about everything so far. Sure the drama has a long ways to go, hence a long trip in which to potentially falter, but the first two episodes have been sheer perfection for me and that’s high praise indeed with no other drama in recent memory being this good all around. I can … 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.

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 →

Goblin Holds Pretty Press Conference and Releases Stunning 6-minute Long Preview

A Koala's Playground Posted on November 23, 2016 by ockoalaNovember 22, 2016
Two men engaged in a friendly conversation.

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 →

Two people walking in autumn park.

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 →
