In terms of the cast they picked and their acting, nothing else need be said as I don't find it lacking on any part.
What I also enjoyed about this series are the amazing production set they used in terms of the houses, rooms, etc of the characters.
If you are however not really that invested in minor details when watching then you may find the story quite confusing. For me, I found it really entertaining as I do appreciate the extra effort of really getting into more on the details.
In all honesty I'd rewatched this series usually on a cold and rainy weather as I feel that it will really compliment the feels and aesthetic of the series.

Mind-blowing
First, the cast and the acting are superb. Truly, Gong Yoo is perfect for the role of goblin(Kim Shin). The other characters have also shown their charisma. Moreover, I'm in a love with its OST. The OST will definitely touch your heart. Also, This is not only full of sad romance and emotional feelings, but the comedy used in this drama was also epic. Especially, the plot or storyline of the story is so much interesting and heart-touching. I will give thanks to Kim Eun-Sook for writing this mind-blowing drama. I cried more than thrice while watching this drama. Also, I laughed countless times. I have watched many dramas but still, it is a drama which I can't forget just for a moment. You should obviously watch this drama at least once.Was this review helpful to you?
Not for me …
Goblin is a classic and it’s easy to see why it has gained popularity but this one wasn’t for me.Strengths
Acting was strong and thought Yoo Na and Kim Dong Wook were absolute delights.
Kim Eun Sook really capitulated audiences
The romance chemistry was sweet
The filming settings were magical also but struggled to get away with the concept and age difference.
Loved the Korean mythology elements
Weaknesses
Slow paced
Age difference too great between leads - understandable after time skip but creepy beforehand
Too many tropes imao

Just great!
Stay with me was the best song or OST in this drama. I loved it so much and I go back to watch the first episode to listen to that part.The female lead was great and pure. I loved every moment with her in the screen. The male lead was great as well. The story was spot on. I loved every aspect of it. Even though, it doesn't align with my beliefs, I find it very appealing and smooth. I think this is the first drama where I couldn't hate any character. The cliffhangers and how episodes ends in this drama were out of this world. Especially with the catchy songs.

A bit overrated
The problem was plot longing , and eventually going downfall the more episode you watch , there was exceptionally excessive dramatic moments and also the whole plot was like bamboozled ,and how it started from the first few episodes they couldn't maintain the comedy or the whole story perfectly ,its worth watching ,but i expected better , needed more agendas or subjects , honestlyso i think its ofcourse a peak drama from dramas of 2016 , but can't be on top 3 in my opinion

I enjoyed watching it!
It's nice to just rest while watching and enjoying the bromance and the funny moments. However, i didn't expect to cry so much at the last episodes. I enjoyed it but if i cried a little bit less it would have been great.Was this review helpful to you?
Answers
I spent hours watching for the ending, but the story lost me. Can someone please help!1. Why was the goblin still not dead once the sword was removed. Was he not supposed to become extinct after 900 years. ( thats what we were told many times during the episodes)
2. Why was he wondering the desert for 9 years. I thought the almighty has wiped his slate clean and he was finally dead or he can be reborn .
3. The goblin bride comes back again as a school girl, the story starts all over again. No issues about the age difference, but the character really irritated me, i wish she talked less.
I wish the story line ended after she went to the other world and left the rest to our imagination. Definately not the best.

Beautiful and heartbreaking story
This show was amazingly beautiful to watch especially for the first time. It has a great storyline and great actors.I really loved the second lead couple. I think they 100% outshined the main couple. I did not really enjoy the main couple in this show. I thought that the female lead being a highschool student was kind of weird. The ending was also unsatisfying to me as a person who cannot stand bad endings and usually tries to avoid them. The ending was not the worst possible as it is seen that the second lead couple do meet in their next life.
The drama was visually very satisfying and the music was amazing. I love all the soundtracks in this series. Also I enjoyed the comedy in this drama especially scenes between Deokhwa and the two male leads were absolutely hilarious. Overall its a very beautiful classic Korean drama.

One of the best romance kdramas I've watched
Once of the best dramas I've ever watched hands down. The plot was very intricate and the characters were complex. The two main characters had amazing chemistry romantically and all the other main characters had amazing platonic chemistry with each other and the main couple also. Every single episode was very beautifully done and had me looking forward to the next one. Be prepared to laugh a lot but also cry. The soundtrack was also beautiful and added very well to the scenes it was used in. This drama will tug on your heartstrings a lot but is definitely worth the watch. I highly recommend this drama. You will not regret it.Was this review helpful to you?
that everyone comes in our life with a reason or to teach us a lesson
it's a very interesting drama, you should watch it if you need a good cry, the main actors are realy handsome, this girl is a bit cringe at the begining but then she will grow and be a beautiful and inteligent women.No need to say that the goblin's sister is a angel being. The story is surely very well write, for me it was like a comfort k-drama, the actors, the crew, the story, the feeling that i felt watching this drama. littel spoiler, episode 14 will have a littel kick, i had a good cry that day but i felt that i let out all the feelings that were inside meWas this review helpful to you?
