So, I had always heard this drama was a must once you started in the kdrama world and I finally this week I thought ok, why not? (I started watching kdramas in 2018, mind you) and as I was watching the first episodes, I saw people commenting oh this is my 4th or 7th time watching this drama and I thought you have watched the same show over and over that many times??? Well, now after finishing it in three days, and after crying buckets of tears, I can say that I understand why someone would watch this again. The acting is AMAZING. At first I thought it was going to be a very heavy drama so I was very surprised and happy by all the humour in it, the bromance between Goblin and the Grim Reaper it's amazing, I loved it so much. The leads are great... I have my reserves because of the age gap, I like that they kept things innocent while she was young...... but still at times it was weird to watch, specially because of how young the actress would act, the skipping, the voice, and it kind of felt like he was acting like a father at times too. But despite that, I really felt some great chemistry between them.

The music was incredible, the song used for the opening has been etched in my heart, seriously. The scenery and photography were lovely, stunning.

I did find the story gripping, contrary to what I have read from some people here.... hence why I finished it in three days. i have to confess I am quite upset by the ending of the leads, I honestly felt that what happened in the second half of the final episode was not necessary......Someone here said it was basically like they started from scratch and I agree. Was the point to break the audience's hearts even more? To teach us a lesson? I don't know, I am honestly upset.... I really don't think it was necessary.

You can tell I have just finished watching it and my tears have barely dried, lol. Would I watch it again? Most likely..... in a long time, though. It was a hell of a ride. Absolutely intense and emotional.

What did you guys think of it???
