I miss everything about this drama already! EVERYTHING! ????? :')

This drama now holds a special place in my heart! It may even be my new #1 fav drama, especially since it's in the supernatural/fantasy/romance genre, which is my fav! The drama gave me great feelings, especially from the characters (and I must say that this drama has the BEST freaking bromance ever!!!). I'd watch BTS of Goblin with Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo and they were just an amazing pair. Adding Sung Jae to the mix made it even better. Hahahaha xD The 3 were a riot! ???

I laughed and I was happy. I cried and I felt pain. There was never a dull moment watching this drama, each episode better than the previous. I never skipped an episode, nor did I fast forward anything. Everything about this drama was absolutely stunning. ? The plot (which was somewhat heartbreaking yet beautiful), the characters and their personalities, to the amazing cinematography(which look like it took you to a whole new world), even down the the music (OST). ?

I loved the main characters so much. My ships ??~ It's funny cos at one point, I shipped the Goblin and the Reaper! Hahahaha xD Those two kill me!
Kim Go Eun as Ji Eun Tak was so adorable and smart. I loved how enthusiastic her character was. She's been thru so much and she was still able to smile and be optimistically cheerful and always helped people even when she's going thru stuff. She has such a kind soul. Yoo In Na as Sunny was awesome. She was sassy, beautiful and radiant, like the Sun! ^^ Yook Sung Jae as Yoo Deok Hwa made the whole bromance better. Hahahaha xD I love how they'd tease him sometimes and he'd get mad and frustrated. Hahahaha xD His character was a blessing to the drama, not gonna lie.
I loved how all their lives were intertwined with each other and the twist that came with it all.
There were certain things that would happen that you would not expect and you're just like, @#$%! Lol
I loved the beautiful, breathtaking, heartwarming, heartbreaking, sizzling hot chemistry between the couples. Most complain about the age difference. Who gives AF? They're all adults so it doesn't matter. I didn't think about that when I was watching the drama. The chemistry was there and it was just perfect! ???? I was enjoying it too much to care. lol~

The soundtrack is just wonderful to listen to and very catchy. I don't know how they do it but it's just amazing. OMG! Some of the songs gave me feels and not just because of the scenes they'd play it with, but if you actually listen to some of the songs, it resonated something within you. ???

I waited for this drama patiently and with high hopes and I was not disappointed one bit. My expectations were exceeded. ?????
Were there any flaws? Cos if there were I can't think of a single thing At least to me there wasn't any. A perfect 10/10! I commend the writers for doing such an excellent job with this drama!

The rewatch value is EXTREMELY high for me, because best believe I will download every single episode and rewatch it again and I will definitely download the entire soundtrack and listen to it on repeat. Goblin is a must watch~ You will not regret it! :') ? If you do decide to give this drama a shot, I truly hope you enjoy watching! ^^

This drama was a waste of my precious time. Something I rarely have these days.
I only watched this drama for Yang Mi. I'd watch her in anything. I think she excels way more in historical dramas than modern day dramas. I did not care much for Tao but his acting was not bad at all.

The plot was so-so. It started out okay but it got lost somewhere along the way. Similar to the preceding drama but a little different with some twists and dramatic turns. The leads relationship was a bit unhealthy. It had nothing to do with the fact that the male lead was younger than the female lead. It was the fact that people kept interfering into their relationships and they kept letting it happen. The main lead guy's family as well as the female lead girl's friends. It did not help the fact the the main lead is from a wealthy family so his family is all old fashion and about business. They basically tried to control his life and tie him down but he was not having it.

The male lead was very young, smart and can be mischievous. Him, being young and mischievous was part of the reason why he was an insensitive brat sometimes. He was so immature sometimes. He took out his frustrations on others and hurt them because of the pressure from his family and dealing with the situation involving his mother and his father. It's so ironic how he's so smart yet so stupid at the same time.
The female lead was strong-willed, determined, hardworking and in love for the first time. I loved how she worked hard to try to achieve her goals. Somewhere along the way, I think she forgot why she worked so hard in the first place. She was given a choice and at first I thought she chose incorrectly because she was being irrational, but I sort of understood from a logical point-of-view. She was very mature and she was like a supporter for the main lead even though he acted on impulse and was irrational half the time. Some of the choices she made throughout the show, was stupid, because it did neither of them any good. It just caused more pain, suffering and a whole lot of misunderstandings.

All other characters were annoying. Did not care for them. Well, maybe one character I liked and that was the lady named Rita. She had amazing insight love love and relationships. In a way, she helped Xiao Fei and Tong Wei (The main lead couple). They were cute sometimes and I didn't care that it was an older-woman-younger-guy relationship. They had some chemistry.
There were other potential couples but the writers messed it up. It would have been great to see the other couples rather than focus on the main couples and their foolish nonsense,

There was a lot of nonsense in this drama that didn't need to be in it. I feel like the writers just threw things in the drama to create more unnecessary drama. It became chaotic and a bit out of control. Halfway through the drama, circumstances became more irrational and illogical and half the things that happened made no sense because if one thought about it from a realistic standpoint, some of those situations would not have happened at all leading to such incomprehensible outcomes. I guess the writers were trying to give some sort of "Life Lesson" in this drama. All I got from it was ABSURDITY! It was poorly executed. >.<

I did not like the music as much. Nothing interesting.

I DO NOT recommend and I will definitely not re-watch this drama. It had so much potential and they completely messed it up. I was okay with the ending whichever way, but all the stuff that happened in between was totally unnecessary. 41 episodes of complete crap! Don't waste your time.

The Guest is NOT welcomed in my home!!!!

I was in the mood for horror and it was creeptacular. ?

It stated off so intense and it kept peaking my interest each episode. It totally delivered with the creepiness. A lot of it was because of the lighting to set the mood, the music they would use, the camera angles, and how amazing the actors were at being freaky with their facial expressions. It was quite impressive. I loved that and I could feel creeped out watching it in the dark alone at home. That was until around the last couple of episodes when it was about to hit the climax. I became bored a bit and kind of disappointed because it was getting to a point where they were running in circles trying to rack their brains of what to do and who was the villain.

With all the gruesome things that happened, I was expecting it to go out with more of a bloody bang, ya know!
Like don't get me wrong, the story in itself was intriguing the way they were talking about this "Guest" thats been around for more than half a century who came from the East Seas. Like I was hoping for more of a backstory behind that. Like what is it exactly and how it came into being. Like I'm curious about things like that. It was wild how the exorcisms were performed by the priests but some of the times it took them longer to finish the exorcisms. I'm not well educated in that holy department, but it just shows how human the priests are. A lot of them aren't saints and claim to be holy and a soldier of God who go around helping people and dispel the wicked, when they themselves sin like your average joe. It seems that this type of work, one has to be physically and spiritually strong or they may end up hurting themselves or others.

The main characters or the 3-stooges as I call them, were too incoherent when it came to dealing with the issues caused by the Guest. I understand that it wasn't a coincidence that they all met again years after, and that they had a lot in common due to unfortunate events that occurred during their young lives, but I thought they would be more circumspect as adults rather than being reckless, impulsive, and foolhardy. Some of their decisions were ridiculous and I didn't see how it aided in the situation they were in. But there wasn't much teamwork to begin with since they all didn't really like or trusted each other to begin with. At least they were wary in that area. They never really stopped to really think about things but was ready to jump the gun as soon as they head the name of the Guest. ? Like why? However, as they've been though a lot in their lives together, those three developed a bond. It was of mutual interests and first but it became more than that after some time. :)
The main casts and supporting casts did a really good job. I was even amazed at the kids. Those little shits were so creepy I swear. LOL

I wanted to watch something scary. This wasn't as scary but it was very creepy, especially with the sounds effects and music. Mind you, I had the volume high on the speakers too and I was always watching it late at night in the dark alone. That's the type creepy mood I'm talking about. It was eerily intense, because while watching it felt like the characters would sometimes jump out of the screen and stand in front of you. Like no thanks. Hahaha~ The last episode was a bit lackluster for me. The mini revelation was surprising but I was wanted more... like an all out war/battle. Ok, maybe that was too much but something along those lines. Then again, it made sense that things happen the way that it did. One can never stop evil from truly disappearing. It always spurs from darkness in human hearts, and the living is a lot more scarier than the dead or unseen spirit as they say.

Would I rewatch this again? Probably not because it won't be as creepy because I will be expecting things to happen and won't be surprised or creeped out. If it's with a friend who's never seen it, then definitely.
Would I recommend this to anyone? Definitely! I'd recommend this to anyone who wants to watch this and experience the uncanny feeling that it might affect you in the real world while watching. Hehe~ Don't watch if you can't handle this type of stuff, and if you can't watch it alone, try watching with someone so you don't get nightmares while sleeping in the dark. I can't promise you won't hear incomprehensible whispers near your ears. LOL ?

My sincere advice: Humans should really consider being careful when they try to mess with things in which they do not understand and cannot handle.

Too Sweet to Handle

It's been a while since I wrote a review :)

I must say, that I truly enjoyed this drama and I kind of fell in love with it, so I decided to do a review. I know I'm a sucker for these kind of sweet dramas, but they're so entertaining to watch. They did a good job casting the leads.

The main female lead was so cute and funny with her antics, trying to seduce the main lead, and trust me, she tried many times and failed miserably. Her acting sucked and he could see right through her. Haha! Yet at the same time, she was also a little naive and very trusting of others. Still, I guess that's a good trait for her to have; to see the good in all. She's really to kind. I loved that she wasn't helpless and that she kept a clear head with not trying to start drama with others, even though others wanted to do the exact opposite with her. I loved that she wasn't perplexed about who or what she wanted. She had a goal and worked her way towards that goal, in both her acting career and love, and she sure worked hard for it.

As, for the main male lead... If I had a gorgeous, handsome doctor as my fiancé, I'd be sick for the rest of my life to have him take care of me. (LOL, just kidding). It's was my first time seeing him in anything and my first impression of him is really good. I really loved his stoic expressions throughout the drama, but as the drama progressed, you get to see him loosen up a bit. At first, everyone (his co-workers) were wary around him, since he doesn't smile and he's strict, but when the female leads strolled into his life(literally on a gurney), everything changed. His expressions changed and he became more warm where is co-workers felt more comfortable around him. You start to see his caring side, his protective side, his teasing side, his smile (and it's to die for), you even get to see his jealous/angry/annoyed side (and it's so damn cute).

(PS: I watched behind the scenes with the two leads and it's quite hilarious and a bit adorable! I guess that made it even harder to not like the actors because I saw how hard they worked to portray the characters to the best of their abilities.)

What I really loved the most in this drama was the chemistry and progression of the relationship between the leads. With each episode it developed more and more and I think that was one of the main reasons why I kept watching. Them being together changed each other and it was quite noticeable. I wanted to see how much further they would grow, not just individually but also as a couple. I loved the fact that they communicated (a key factor in any relationship), I loved that they supported each other and always make time for each other, given their professions. I loved the little risks they took just to prove how much they cared about/loved each other later on, given their circumstance and how they felt about the situation, prior to them meeting without knowing who they were to one another.

The other characters were good and they did their thing and went through changes (good and bad) like any other characters would, but I was more focused on the main leads. They intrigued me the most! :)

The drama was just very refreshing to watch. It was a great binge and I do not regret it. I definitely will watch again.
I would totally recommend this drama to anyone who's looking for or is in the mood for something cute to binge. Just to take your mind off things, or to just watch if you went through a rough ordeal (withdrawals) from watching another drama before. Trust me, I've been there.

This drama changed my mood and made me happy. I'm sharing with you all and I think a little happiness wouldn't hurt. ^_~
