I really thought that the story was pretty shallow and simple at first but its last episodes proved me wrong. It makes you think that you already know exactly what's going to happen next or how it is going to end, but there would be lots of aspects that would leave you off guard. I just think that the story had so much more potential but it was constricted because the drama was only 16 episodes.
Acting was great, and I was not disappointed with anyone's acting at all. I loved all of the relationships this drama had to offer — friendship, family and romance. The actors and actresses made the relationships so real, everyone had chemistry with everyone hahahaha. (Special mention: Soon Tae and Mal Sook, this is a grandfather-granddaughter combo that would always be in my heart)
OST WAS JUST DDABONG. It is a very rare occurrence for me to like all the OSTs of one drama but for The Best Hit, all of the soundtracks were just amazing. (I am not even exaggerating here, their soundtracks are just so really great).
Andddd I would definitely rewatch this. Yoon Si Yoon's character in this drama is someone you'd definitely miss, Hyun Jae was reaaaaaalllyyy noisy and all over the place but he was so precious, I can't get annoyed with him.
Overall, it was a heartwarming drama. The characters were so indulging, I feel like they are actual people I know in real life. Now, I need to figure out what I am going to do with my life since the drama is already over. And this is the first review I made in this site, just proves that The Best Hit really made an impact on me.

It definitely deserved its hype. It's one of those few dramas that actually deserved the hype. It has SUBSTANCE (very important for me) and you can not not finish it or else your questions about the drama will just remain as questions. Most episodes left me at awe and a lot of scenes gave me goosebumps. The second half of the drama was exceptional and I'm glad because a lot of dramas lose its beauty as they reach the second half. Goblin didn't.
Most of all, I love the relationships in the drama specifically of the four main leads: the goblin and his bride, kim woo bin and sunny, goblin and the grim reaper, part timer and her boss, the missing soul and the grim reaper, the queen and his brother, the king and the sister of the traitor, the king and his warrior. And you should never just shrug off the side characters — they play significant roles to the dramas's story.
And do I even need to explain why I rated the music a 10? The whole universe would agree that Goblin's OSTs were beyond amazing. And it wasn't just their music that was pleasing, the cinematography itself was aesthetically satisfying.
I gave the rewatch value a 8.5 only because if I rewatch again, I'd only focus on the second half of the drama and the humor of the first half (except episode 1 and 2 those were amazing episodes).
Overall, Goblin was an amazing drama. Not only because I cried a bucket of tears, but because it showcased how rich human (and nonhuman lol) relationships can be. How a single person can change your once believed "life full of punishments," how forgiveness can heal not only the person forgiven but also you yourself and that actually, the existence of death makes life even more meaningful.
I can't even express myself properly through words *sighs* thank you Goblin. You are a gem.
