[Review] Goblin

After watching 16 episodes of drama, I am really pleased and impressed by the scriptwriter, who did really well in writing an awesome story for this drama. The actors are well chosen and their acting is fantastic. The overall drama was so well planned and scene was extremely beautiful. The story was quite touching and interesting. I love this drama so much.

It is unbelievable that the story began with Goryeo era where the warrior (Kim Shin), who was claimed to be the traitor, was being killed with the sword presented from the king as well as the whole family of Kim Shin. The sword was on the chest of the warrior. There after, Kim Shin became goblin after his death.

He lived for 900 years in order to looking his bride to pull out the sword on his chest, and thereafter he will turn into dust and be varnished forever. It was quite coincident that the child that he saved was so happened to be his bride. The girl named Ji Eun Tak (the missing soul referred by the grim reaper), always summon the goblin by blowing the light of the candle/lighters.

Eun Tak destiny was to pull out the sword of the goblin. If she does not carry out her duty, she will face numerous incident of death in future. Luckily,  Goblin was able to save her from being killed. It was also their fate that in this life, Kim Shin managed to meet his beloved sister and the King Wang Yeo. He prayed hard that they can live happily in their future.

The grim reaper (Wang Yeo) is believed to be having great sin in his previous life in order to be grim reaper. He was so curious about what he has been done in his previous life. Lastly, he made Kim Sun (Kim Shin's sister) to recall her previous life memories by kissing her. However, he was unsure that whether is he the Wang Yeo or Park Jong  Woo (ghost). One day, Park Jong  Woo met him and told him is previous identity. Grim reaper was so shocked and felt guilty towards Kim Shin as well as Kim Sun (Wang Yeo's wife).

Grim reaper and Kim Shin were living together in Goblin house. Grim reaper is believed to be the tenant of the house for 10 years. At first, they are always quarreling with one another. After spending time with one another, they became friends. Grim reaper always use his power for personal used and he even broke his work ethic by revealing who is going to die to Kim Shin so that he can save Eun Tak in advance. Unfortunately, he was questioned by the audit team and being suspended for his job.

Eun Tak was able to pull the sword but she refused because she does not want Kim Shin to vanish forever. Due to critical situation faced by Eun tak that Park Jong Woo attacked her, Kim Shin borrowed Eun Tak hands to pull out the sword in order to kill Park Jong Woo. Thanks to the help of grim reaper who came just in time to rescue them. Once the goblin is gone, the deity erased the memories that everyone he knew so that they can lived in peace. After 9 years without the presence of the goblin, everyone lived in their own path. The deity opened another door for the Goblin and his bride. There was when his bride blew the candle of her birthday cake, the goblin appeared again.

The goblin was trying to hard to make his bride to recall their memories. The grim reaper and Kim Sun was so happened that their memories wasn't erased the existence of the goblin, which really shocked the goblin. Eun Tak managed to recall their memory while she was on board in Canada. Kim Shin also went to Canada to meet Eun Tak.

In the end, the goblin and his bride get married and supposed they should be living happily. It was unfortunate that the grim reaper received a name card without a name. He believed that this name card was referring to Eun Tak, but he was unable to inform the goblin in advance. Eun Tak died on the spot while trying to save the children from car accident. Goblin  cried madly that he wasn't wanted her to dead. Eun Tak comforted him and made a promise with him that she will look for him in near  future.

Year by year, those who are close to goblin have left, only left him alone in this world. After 30 years, he saw his sister and the grim reaper living happily together. And Eun Tak finally found him in Canada in the end of the story.
