one of a kind, romantic and melancholic
Script is a wonderful fusion. Extremely funny, romantic and melancholic. Canada never looked so lovely. Did I say extremely funny? You havent lived until you weep from laughing at a gorgeous Grim Reaper and blindingly handsome Goblin warrior struggle with learning to use cell phones.Kim Go Eun is astounding -- watch this drama for her acting skills.
Her facial control and timing is incredible. You can see that she is a great film actress.
She doesnt overpower the charm of the others, but she rules the room in charisma.
She is absolutely enchanting as a 18 year old (k-reckoning 19) darting here and there -- very comical, unleashed innocence and knowledge all at once.
She is heartbreaking as a grown woman, as brilliant and shining as her Goblin often says she is.
Great physical attitude-visuals from the dashing duo of Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo. Yoo In Ah is in beautiful form here. Excellent and consistently funny supporting cast. A good year for fashion, the leads are very chic.
One of those great kdrama soundtracks that tells you with charming dominance what you must feel at every turn of the plot: squeezing out your tears, filling you with melancholy, calming your fears as only kdrama must, so that you will worry, watch so closely that you will drop snacks all over the couch and sigh with satisfaction and relief as lovely resolutions of the plot appear....
Guardian can be watched again and again without any loss of magic. And it is being watched right now, this very minute, by hundreds of viewers around the globe. So join their company and watch well!

Probably one of the best K-Dramas I will ever see.
My Letterboxd review:"i will love this forever for introducing me to beloved gong yoo
as many problems as one could find with this series, my god do i love it so much. <3"
I want to add on by saying this: this drama is incredible at evoking emotion and it does so in a way that feels wholly natural and fulfilling. It's genuinely beautiful. One moment I'd be in stitches laughing, and the next I'd be tearing up and crying as I felt for one of the characters. It's really amazing and I feel that this characteristic of the show is what really made it for me.
As a side note: yes, the whole thing with Eun-tak being in high school is weird and I agree. But aside from that, I feel the show handles its subject matter with finesse and I don't think there was any harm intended in that choice.
In any case...
The cast is amazing, obviously. They have such great chemistry together regardless of the relationship between the characters. Of course, Yoo Gong and Go-Eun Kim were my favorite - not only are they both excellent performers, but they worked so well together! - but I also deeply appreciated the rest of the cast. All of them gave their performances their all, and because of that, they enhanced the story deeply and significantly contributed to bringing it to life.
Naturally, I adored the characters as well.
The story as a whole is really beautiful and led me to do a lot of thinking outside of the time I spent watching the show. I can safely credit this drama with solidifying my current perception of the afterlife (reincarnation is what I believe it could be) and honestly I thought that the way it discussed life and death was delicate and profound. I keep wanting to say the word "beautiful" as I describe this, but that's because it's true - all of it was beautiful to me. One of my favorite parts was how Dong-wook Lee's role as the Grim Reaper was explained and visualized. Simply marvelous.
The music gets an easy and solid 10. I still listen to it every now and then and find it as timeless as it ever was.
As a whole this drama is fantastic. It's definitely a bit of a time commitment but I found it to be VERY worth it. Do give it a chance because it certainly deserves it.

One of the most wholesome shows ever made
The show gives you everything and makes you feel many emotions from laughing to crying, happiness to sadness, adoring to hating.......Both the lead couples nailed it with their chemistry and story arcs. Till the last moment everyone prayed and hopes that none of them end up separated as they have already gone through so much and the ending surely didn't disappoint.
For me Kim Go Eun as Eun Tak was the soul of the show, she nailed being a teenager and the grown up stage. No wonder she is by far one of the best actresses in the South Korea. Gong Yoo as always needs no introduction on how good he is and has been in every genre.
Lee Dong Wook's and Yoo Inna's suited so well with each other. Him being a cold grim reaper and her being a extroverted and fiesty chick nailed it. LDW's character growth and his newborn friendship with Euntak was too wholesome.

disapointed
Goblin is one of the top show on many lists. I also heard that many people liked it. But the premise of the drama is kinda weird.The age gap between Eun Tak and Goblin is the first thing that I notice first. Eun Tak was 19 years old, and Goblin was 939 years old. Second, when Eun Tak first met Goblin, how did she know she was the bride, yeah, she can see ghosts but that doesn't mean that she is the bride of Goblin. They fought the villain in ep 13 ,14 which was kinda rushed
I was more interested in the relationship between Sunny and Reaper

Goblin got heart touch story for grimreaper fault in his life and his life time separation from his love.
His love sunny was innocent but bread between brother and husband. Her life got spoil but still love grim reapper that was the reason I fall for this show. And Lee dong wook and yooinna stole my heart by their natural chemistry and ofcaz goblin and grimreaper ( brother in law and goblin) bro romance the best part of show ....
I hate how they story developee. They could kill the main violent by grim reapper because he actually killed the king both life ...noting lose of goblin. Because he was born to be general of country. In any war he would die and called hero .he had no love affection. It was ok but after that what could with the connection of goblin bride why ....he and grimreaper could hold the sword ..that goblin bride part was most illogical unnecessary part and yes their romance like old man romancing with his students their had noting good word for goblin and his bride romance was seriously valueless where story begin from grimreaper sunny goblin and ender too with this 3 Charecter clear up the mristry. The most annoying part was goblin and bride romance ????????
And most touchy part was grimreaper sunny true love story and best chemistry was Lee dong wook and yooinna togather are best always

Absolutely worth watching.
While there are other masterpieces that may be a cut above, this show is a masterpiece in itself. The story is beautiful, moving and intense, with a superlative screenplay that continuously and well blends moments of hilarity with sad moments, as is customary in K-dramas. My partner and I were glued to the screen from the first to the last second, crying and laughing and living with the leads. Leads who are over the top: theirs is certainly among the most beautiful love stories told in k-dramas. And both Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun are more than up to the task and incredibly adorable and comfortable, despite the obvious age difference between them. Well described and defined supporting roles: The Grim Reaper and Sunny are for me one of the most beautiful and touching supporting couples seen so far (154 k-dramas completed). The rest of the cast is well assorted and the soundtrack is definitely up to par. It's a show that has seen a huge investment commercially, but well spent, truly well spent. Absolutely worth watching.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Bromance takes it all
I wholeheartedly understand why people love this drama so much. It has many flaws, but it's still a ton of fun. In particular, the music of the main theme stays with you forever and adds a special element to the show that I haven't noticed in any show since.Everyone has written about the unstoppable bromance between Gong Yoo's Kim Shin, the tormented god, and Lee Dong Wook's Grim Reaper. And if you watch any behind the scenes footage of the show, you can see why. They were just having the time of their lives working together.
Unfortunately, there are a couple big flaws that prevent this show from being close to perfect. For one thing, we learn very little about our brave heroine Eun Tak, which diminishes our stake in her story. We don't get to see much of her past or her thoughts about the state of her life or the relationships she has with friends or family. And now that I think about it, I can't name any character that we get to truly know in depth. A few well placed monologues would have been useful to this end. I wanted to know about each character's history and past struggles, and how they feel now. Second, the main villain in the show is pretty absent until the very end. There was so much potential around exploring the heart of the issues faced by Eun Tak and Kim Shin and how they are trying to protect each other and deal with their own issues, but it wasn't harnessed.
One last thing I enjoyed was the filming in Quebec. I'm a Canadian and that was quite a surprising treat to behold!

My favorite of all time
I watched it in 2016 wherein its still ongoing kdramas, I re-watch it many times I even watched its tagalog dubbed and its still same reaction I still laughed and cry in this drama. I super loved Gong Yoo he is one of the reasons why I watched this drama its because of him. It has a great casting, each character has its moments to shine thats why I loved every character in this drama. The cuteness and funny moments in this drama are very on point. You will definitely fall in love in this drama there are no dull moments in this drama. I'm sure you will loved it the same thing as I do.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
An Absolute Classic!
Nowadays, when you talk about Kdramas, a humongous classic is always thrown into the conversation. Gobli, Guardian, whatever it may be called, this show has remained rent-free on so many people's heads for such a long amount o time that it makes you wonder. What is it really about?At a core level, Goblin is no better than your generic, corny, over-the-top Korean romance with all the blows and whistles, but with a few twists that really drive off an ever-lasting mystery.
The mystery doesn't really stick up at the forefront, but it's ever-present and slowly, but surely, gets revealed as you also get more and more attached to the characters and start paying more attention to the non-romance plot line, which in my opinion is a very underrated aspect in this series that's not talked about enough.
It also helps that the show is such a binge-able series, especially in portions, or as you may view as mini "arcs". Let alone, the rewatchability.
I won't say more for spoilers-sake, but give it a watch!

Is it just me
I really can't understand why Goblin is number one The stand out was the grim reaper and his friendship with the main lead I also loved his character and his romance I thought the female was too young and it put put me of the Drama The ending didn't make sense and was a disappointment The OST was great but overall not one of my favourites Dramas I just don't understand the hype I hope it's not just me that thinks this I liked the performance of Yook Sung jae as well The Grim Reaper was the stand out for meVond je deze recentie nuttig?
You are not a Professional Kdrama watcher if you didn't watch this drama YET...
Yeah! that's right, this is one of the most popular as well as one of the bust kdrama out there. Almost every kdrama watcher watch this drama cause this is a master piece.All the things , story, ost, acting are the best, I don't want to tell much more about this drama cause there isn't any kdrama fan who didn't watch this drama.
However, little brief about this drama.
ACTING, CAST. ...( 1000/10 )
ML, FL, SML, SFL acting as well as their roles far more better than any drama that I've seen so far, Now I've watched almost 150+ kdramas
But still this drama is on the top of my list, I didn't see any drama that can beat this drama yet because of that combination of their roles as well as acting. And those four actors still on the top of their acting carrier , none of them failed their life as a actor.
so you can understand what I'm plotting here.
And the chemistry between SML & SFL,
After this drama they got their own drama named " Touch Your Heart" as FL & ML.
it's a one hell of a proof
STORY (10/10)
For the story and the End...
Bit sad at the end but nope, it won't that sad cause they found their happiness again. And how the story begins and till the very End of the Drama I can't actually remember any Boring scene at all, Story Perfect.
As for all,
If you are not watch this drama yet, Go on, start watching RIGHT NOW...
HOPE YOU WILL WATCH THIS GREAT DRAMA...
