I don't understand the hype of this show, probably because of the good looking pair maybe?
The acting was fine, nothing extraordinary. I have watched many romcoms, but without an intriguing story, the show itself falls short, this is exactly what happened to this show in my opinion.
Wasted a good amount of time over this show, ended up forwarding most of it. Won't recommend.

Whirlwind of emotions throughout the show. Brilliant acting by everyone, even the kid most of the people hated.We see Sun Woo as a strong female lead, whose whole world collapses when she *SPOILER* catches her husband cheating on her, and their whole circle of friends being aware of his cheating. The first episode got me goosebumps. Then we see her plotting for revenge, at the same time working and maintaining a social life. She is not to be messed with, which her husband realizes a lot later!
Tae Oh, the husband, is an entitled jerk who literally does not regret cheating on his wife. He is obsessed with her, even after getting married with the person he cheated on with. He was living and got caught in a web of lies by both the women, and ended up losing both. The hypocrisy of this man had no bounds. Hating him was so easy, since this character was played brilliantly until the end.
Apart from the leads, the storyline of secondary characters was actually interesting with bittersweet endings.
All in all, this drama had so much potential, which I think got lost during the end.

CANNOT begin to describe how beautiful this show was. Extraordinary is an ordinary word for this show. A masterpiece, so unique and so so beautiful in each and every aspect of the willingness of this show to be beyond its imaginary reach.This drama has so much potential and great cast. I watched the lead's movie sometime back, "I saw the Devil" and instantly liked him. In this show, he looks much more mature and is paired up with a fairly young actress, but they make a striking pair. I was rooting for them all along.
The story is a massive hit. Other characters play their parts almost brilliantly, there is nothing I dislike about this show.
Must watch, it is beautiful!

This drama had potential, but I don't know what went wrong with it. It dragged on for more than I had anticipated, maybe it would have worked if it had fewer number of episodes? Don't know. You can easily miss it if need be.

The leads shared extraordinary chemistry and the pacing of the show was well-done! There was a time when I thought it was dragging for a bit, but then again, this is the first Korean show I watched and had set the bar very high. This is coming from someone who has watched American and British shows/movies all her life. This show is pure gold!
What a treat Korean cinema is!

Could feel my heart beating so fast and couldn't stop feeling for the victims. It also gives a very strong message, not to trust everyone willing to offer help. The hero of this movie is a damn fantastic actor. I had watched this movie a long time ago, but can still remember his rage and hurt. The ending was very satisfying, felt so much for each and every victim and for the loved ones they left behind.

Just finished watching it, and I will definitely re-watch it once I am done with other shows. What a treat! The lead actor has so much potential. This show is not for light hearted people, this will take you for a long ride with individuals you believe you have the right to judge, only to prove you wrong. There are so many lessons one can take from this masterpiece. I am so very glad to have watched it and would definitely recommend others to give it a go.
I didn't want it to end, it was that good and that big having an impact on my heart. I laughed, cried, felt pain watching this show.
I look forward for shows similar to this one, or one with a ride I am unable to forget.

What can I say about this show? It is an absolute gem! Don't know why is it so underrated and why it is not talked about much. Amazing how Korean shows are so good with showing the belief of reincarnation. This show is filled with excellent actors and classic music. I am now aware that Korean shows come with their package of thriller, suspense and romance, this show has all that and more.
Not once did I find this show lacking in pace or boring. Kept me engaged and engrossed until the very end, which was satisfactory.
Definitely recommend others to watch this absolute underrated gem!

The finale was so rushed I didn't feel they had any closure. I was waiting for more to happen, for people to get punished and actually see their punishment, for something more. Anything that would change my opinion of the show. Nothing of the sort happened, wished I had passed on this show early.

Goblin is a masterpiece. A show with amazing direction, cast and beautiful music. Was a bit off about the crazy age difference between the leads, but oh well.
Loved the bromance, they shared amazing chemistry. Would love to see them in another show. The leading lady is a very talented actress. Loved her expressions. I loved the guy in Train to Busan, and this show made me a fan of him!
Definitely a worth watch, a bit of a drag for 2-3 episodes from 8 or so, but overall a good watch!
