What BollyAI Thinks
Goblin set benchmarks that Korean cable fantasy has not comfortably cleared since. Writer Kim Eun-sook collected the Baeksang Daesang, Gong Yoo took Best Actor, and the finale drew 18.68% nationwide, ranking seventh in Korean cable history. The MyDramaList audience score of 8.8 across 167,000 users reflects sustained affection rather than opening-week hype. Critics clustered around three praise points: the mythology's internal consistency, the cinematography, and the Goblin-Grim Reaper double act that gave the show its unexpected comic register. Dissenting voices pointed to the female lead's agency being limited by the mythology's rules. The OST, particularly Stay With Me by Chanyeol and Punch, became a cultural artefact independent of the show.

“The depth of perspective looking at life of the goblin that bears a bloody sword in his chest immerses the audience into the fantasy story.”
