Goblin
(2016 - Viki, 16 1:22 eps)

Lived up to its high rankings on MDL & Viki. *Beautiful* cinematography, iconic scenes referenced in many other dramas, great acting, tropes, humor, the best bromance ever, great 2nd couple, coats galore, outstanding OST, past lives, supernatural beings, agony, joy, & fate.

Most complaints are about the age difference between the leads. The actors were 37 & 25, but Kim Go Eun played a high schooler so convincingly that it felt a bit uncomfortable. She ages 10 years in the show & he doesn't, so it worked for me.

How long do you atone for past sins - especially in a previous life? How long must you carry the guilt? Are some sins unforgivable? What would you sacrifice for love? The show brings up a lot of weighty questions. The writing is mesmerizing at times & very witty.

@whoosh I was so confused by the age difference that I didn’t even register it as weird. Goblin was my first kdrama (after Squid Games), and my brain changed completely 😂. It was like 3 weeks later that I watched it that I started studying Korean and cooking Korean food…it is responsible for my biggest rabbit hole. I should rewatch!

I wonder how many of us have gone down the rabbit hole and now are enrolled in Korean classes or doing DuoLingo and now stock gochujang in our kitchens?

@whoosh @cinderdazzle612 I'd say something about being in this picture and not liking it, but it's cozy here and my ramen is so much better.

@glitchontwitch @whoosh @cinderdazzle612 but do we have our own preference of soju:beer ratio yet?
