So much more than drinking, you'll experience that yourself if you don't quit after the first ep
I'm off work this month, so I've watched my fair share of dramas this month. I can't recall many other shows that made me cry like this one. So many feels in this show.
I was always curious about this show seeing the great response this got in Korea and I'm very happy that I gave this a chance because this is so worth it and so much more! I'm so disappointed in the ratings here and the hate in this comments section. I mean yes, alcohol is not a good thing but equally bad is the relationship between an adult and a minor but I don't see even half of this moral policing on the Goblin page or its rating. It is quite convenient for people to just pick and choose, and I'm not even surprised considering the vast difference in the popularity of the leads in both shows. PLEASE DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE HYPOCRISY OF SUCH PEOPLE AND GIVE THIS SHOW AN HONEST GO. The comments here don't even begin to explain the masterpiece that this show is.
The show has a beautiful story of three friends and how they support one another through their individual hardships right from college to their adult working lives. You see them take on several hardships in all domains (love, work, health, family, etc.) that we all face in our late twenties and early thirties and show how they cope with it all. A lot of emphasis is given to their bond which also revolves around alcohol and the comedy of it all would not fail to make you laugh. I love how they stand up for one another through thick and thin and how their relationship progresses throughout the show. It's a very beautiful and calm watch.
It is important to understand the drinking culture in Korea (which is huge) before you go on to judge this show for the heavy drinking. It is actually quite normal in many cultures, maybe not in yours. Cultural insensitivity is not going to get you anywhere. They do acknowledge in their last episode how drinking excessively is bad for your health, yet they show how it forms a part of their present and past and how it helped them to cope with a lot of situations with their friends by their side. Freshly out of college, it made me reminisce about my college days and I will surely be hitting them up now for a much-needed night of just drinking and being in each other's presence. That is how our carefree days of lives are and most of us have lived those days like these people only. This show definitely reminded me of my own happy and good days with my girls and how they stood by my side. A hilarious, emotional and deeply engaging drama that will end up leaving lots of nostalgia and good vibes for you!
The acting is stellar by all the five leads (I like to count the bar owner as a lead as well) and I'm very happy with the production of it all. My only problem lies with the music, it could've been so much better.
