Reincarnation, past lives, and the concept of death vs. life/immortality are very major themes in both series, only the FL is the supernatural being in SYIM19L, whereas the male lead is the supernatural being in Goblin. There is also bromance between the male leads in both series. Goblin is slightly more melodramatic and poetic than SYIM19L, but if you liked the romance in Goblin, you'll definitely enjoy the romance in SYIM19L.

So both shows seem to be completely different from each other but at the same time they both convey similar feeling when you watch them. They both have a serious plot line but at the same time have those little comical moments where you can't help but laugh. both women say "I love you" first but the man fell in love first. Both have great Bromance between the ML and guy friend/s.

Goblin, being one of the famous series must be a good watch/rewatch after Tomorrow.

Both involve grim reapers, souls, a touch of the afterlife, and a crossover between the two worlds (the living and the dead) with some comedic moments among the characters. But, Goblin is more romantic with bromance and a cute depiction of youth life and Tomorrow is a slice of life depicting forms of suicide and suicidal thoughts and shows different challenges of performing as a team.

Like Tomorrow, Goblin also tackles a youth's dream and future which will also make you think of your own and it has iconic teleportation effects that make it so enjoyable to watch.

Also, both flashback historical eras add a flavor to the drama- like you'll see them in traditional clothes and their visuals are perfect!

As they meet, they gradually come to understand each other, and slowly, they begin to fall in love. However, a fate that will dramatically change their lives awaits them both…

Both movies has grim reaper. Life person before time come to enter another world. The spirit of the dead, the wondering spirit

Both are a love story between a human and an immortal being. Both feature grim reapers as main characters, and common themes of life and death, loss, grief, and reincarnation. Both have bittersweet, very similar endings.

Very different in tone and length, but the FL in both is able to summon the ML who is a supernatural being.

Like kim shin, Bai Qi is a supernatural being who has lived for a very long time helping some of the spirits. Many years later he meets the reincarnate of his lover who is also silly but cute, like Ji Eun Tak . Also the relationship between Bai Qi and Yang Jian is similar to that of Kim shin and the Grimm reaper in that they are enemies but do not go as far as killing each other although I am not sure what happens in the future.. All in all, the similarity is in the reincarnation, spirits/ghosts, romance, frenemies, rich man poor woman and the male lead wanting to protect the female lead while being in denial of his own feelings for her.. Not to mention the similarities in Kim Shin's sword and Bai Qi's umbrella. Awesome story so far..

The main actor of “Tale of the Nine-Tailed” is also one of the main characters in “globin”, there’s even a reference to it on “the tale of nine-tailed”.
Both story’s talk about the first and only love. Both are fantasy/supernatural genre, The drama Goblin was immensely hit and was loved by its numerous fans. So if you are a fantasy and supernatural drama fan, this one is a must for you.

The main lead is thousand years old and the girl is young and naive.

Same comedy feel, funny bromances.
