short series with amazing story
I watched this drama for a quick break. It was short sweet and enjoyable.I had a fun time enjoying the drama. It was like a sweet candy until the end. The story was engaging and as it's a short drama you don't wanna give up before its completion. It's worth binging.
Both the actors performed very well. All the emotions absorbed are well portrayed in the drama. Sometimes I actually wanted the story to be more in length.
As its short, it is unable to stir up the emotion in me
Watch it for a quick time pass.

Wonderful surprise
Well, I must admit, I really was taken aback by this serie. Since the characters untill the graphical effects.The story was (as expected) a little rushed, but in my point o view was well developed taken in consideration the time of the entire serie. Lines well acted by the actors, I really liked the chemistry between the ML and the FL.
The ending was kind of expected for me but even so, the plot twist caught me off guard, hahaha.
In resume, the story was simple, direct, effective, warmt and for those who like short stories this one put a "must see" tag on it. I recommend.
PS: I gave 6 on rewatch value because i seldom see a serie again.

Short show that really got me in all the feels
Can I just start by saying that the kissing scenes in this were awesome?! Unfortunately, there are a lot of shows with fish kisses/touching lip-not really a kiss, but these were wonderful, the first one especially. That's when I really got sucked into the show, I must say. Superficial I know, but there it is.Short, lovely show to watch between the more dramatic shows that ratchet up the angst and drama.
Premise: A goblin (Bae In Hyuk as Ban Sook) must kiss 10 girls to become human. He befriends a human woman (Jeon Hye Won as Yeon Ah).
Characters: Ban Sook started out as a flat, emotionless goblin, and with every kiss he gained a human emotion. Bae In Hyuk did an excellent job of not portraying him with over-the-top emotions. You really did see more on his face after every kiss, like he was learning a new emotion and learning how to handle the emotion. Jeon Hye Won was terrific as Yeon Ah. She had so much anger at the beginning of the show, but that was quickly overshadowed by the love and compassion she felt for others.
Story: Addresses the issue of fate. Yeon Ah stating that she didn't believe in fate was an example of not being able to see what's right in front of you. Fate brought her and Ban Sook together from the beginning. The story also addressed love and loss - is it better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all? Would you want to remember an incomplete love for the rest of your life, knowing you would never see that person again?
Writing: I thought the writing was very good, and I really appreciated the abbreviated episodes. If the writing is good, you can pull the audience in without resorting to many long, drawn-out episodes.

Short and sweet
Firstly, the story is though predictable but addicting to binge.It is cute but with a sensible plot for a Kdrama.
The ending is satisfactory. I just wish there was more to it.
The acting is good.
Just that the fight scenes seem fake.
But for a web series, the CGI was good enough.
The music is memorable and suits the scenes.
For a rewatch, it is worth if you just wanna see their moments together. Bonus, I really liked how they handled the girl shaming scene.

Heartfelt romance
The cast did a great job, directors, producers stage, makeup and all. 10++. This was a heart-felt drama that show us what emotions are. This story is about a 160yo goblin ban sook who wants to become a human. In order to do this the queen goblin will text him 10 different girls that he needs to kiss. Once he completes it he receives a feeling from them Emptiness, compassion, sympathy, Sadness, anger, joy, desire, excitement, Infacuation and love. He meets Oh yeon ah who helps and protects him from the exocits who wants to kill him. They agree to move In together as she protects him after each kiss, but along the way there feeling turned to love. Now she is picked for the 10th and finale kiss but there a twist.. If he kisses her they both loose there memory, or he goes back to be a goblin and they keep there memory only. Watch to see how it plays out.Was this review helpful to you?

i don't know what to say ?
it's a great show, but the effects as just so bad, i really just can't believe that they saw those effects, and says "omg great, i loved this effects", and the "fight scene" were even worse, why did FL take one of the customer's chunk chickens and hit him, chunk chicken in hand? just, i just can't understand, will hurt more if she just hit him, with nothing in hand. And i really need to say about the " fight scene" between FL, ML and the exorcist, omg this scene was so ridiculously, the slap ML gave in the exorcist was so weak, so how did he pass out (or die, I don't remember)?But, but, thd chemistry between Hyewon and In Hyuk was so good, seriously. And the idea of the drama was good,but unfortunately it was not very well produced.
And i need to say that the ending was bad, just i don't really understand what that they want to says to us with that ending.
Anyways, I thought it was be worse, seriously, so it exceeded my expectations
(i'm really happy that hyewon was the FL, she deserves so much, but i hope that she takes a better drama on the next time <3)

Short but pretty good series
I watched this drama for fun,because I didn't want to give a big hope for this drama. It was short as I expected but even tho it was pretty and sweet and really enjoyable.The actors was wery well. Lines well acted by the actors, I really liked the chemistry between the male and the female.
It was a bit salivating until the end, but I like it .. uh aww In my opinion it's worth to see. All the emotions absorbed are well represented in the drama.
Well, I must admit, I really liked it this series.
The ending was kind of expected for me but even so, the plot twist caught me off guard, hahaha.
The story was (as expected) a little rushed, but at the time it was fun to wait the 'POW' moment, even if you guessed the end.
And at all, the story was simple, direct, sweet and warm and adorable. Personally, I recommend for everyone who love sort storys.

On the acting side of the drama though, I am not a fan. Most of the characters in the drama are leads since it's just short so it focuses more on them and something is lacking as I am watching them. I think the emotions portrayed isn't as good as what I would expect. Since it is just a webdrama I don't think I should have too much expectations, and also the actors are newbies as well. I find the chemistry of the leads good, I felt the romance. I also like the fact that they emphasized the good looks of the goblin, that I also find him handsome as a watcher.
It's an easy watch since it's short and it's a good drama to watch when you just to pass the time.

Averagely good
When it comes to webdramas, one can never have their hopes far too high: their budget is clearly limited, some shots here and there were awkward, not to mention that, as the viewer, you can easily predict the entirety of the plot - however, like in many other series, what matters isn't exactly the line of events, but rather how they're executed, how they're acted. There's this very nice, cute charm thrown over a quite creative idea - a Goblin that wishes to become human must have 10 kisses and with each, he learns a new emotion - which is all due to the cast that is young and all equally pretty (kudos to Bae In Hyuk for managing to look gorgeous in every. single. scene. and.outfit.). Their performances weren't all over the top, but enough to make the drama entertaining and flow well.Kiss Goblin is very bingeable and honestly perfect if you really are looking forward to some comfortable time. It's fun enough to not make you feel like you're wasting your time, and rather gives you a sense of warmth, with some sprinkles of cringiness here and there.... I do wish for a sequel one day (those that watch the drama will surely share the sentiment).

The show was pretty cute and sweet, but I just wished this drama was longer and was done by a broadcasting company instead so that they'd at the very least get longer air time and scenes, and not feel so rushed. Plus more budget for the actors, more scenarios, and overall more drama.
Anyway, if you like a light, short drama with a sweet and good looking male guy, with a happy ending plot this show is certainly for you.

Short easy watch to pass the time filled with kisses
Likes: That HOT kiss in the first episode. It's short and to the point without any draggy parts.Dislikes: It's rookie acting 101. A lot of the girls looked so similar that it was hard to tell them apart
I needed something to watch to pass the time and just really want something mindless and short. I found this youtube recommendation for this short web series so I thought I'd check it out. So glad I did! Super easy to watch. A handsome goblin needs to kiss 10 girls to become a human. And that's exactly it. It's short, to the point without draggy side stories or overly dramatic plots. While it's rookie surface acting, I didn't really mind it that much because each episode was so short so you're not overly invested. It's just a silly entertaining mindless watch to pass the time which was exactly what I was looking for.

Lot´s of kisses and fluff with a side of darkness
Watching Bae In Hyuk kissing 10 different girls in about 7 different ways can sound a bit off but will definitely satisfy all your kissing needs for a while. That said the drama may be all about kisses but our male lead is so much more showing a bunch of emotions, smiles and pretty much acting like the perfect guy any human being would fall for.The female leads (Jeon Hye Won) character is a tad conservative in her views on kissing but her hate towards human beings is very admirable as well as well portrayed and slightly relatable, luckily I found my own goblin so I do know there are some good ones out there but with toxic masculinity and gender conventions a slight hate towards man kind is only natural and indeed well portrayed in this very short production.
The Jeon Hye Wons character may be lovely but her acting skills could be improved, the friendships here are the type you will long for but for such a short what I assume is not very high budget show it tackles some issues, has both slightly less predictable and more predictable twists as well as tells a pretty decent story.
All in all a short and enjoyable watch
P.S 8,5 rating is based the titles category and other similar productions, so set your expectations towards 12 min/12 episode web dramas and not a full length drama
