The male lead character, Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) is a Goblin. Ji Eun-tak (Kim Go-eun) is a young woman who can see ghosts and interact with other supernatural beings possibly as a result of the unusual circumstances surrounding her birth. Destiny comes into play when Ji Eun-tak finds a connection to the fascinating and alluring Goblin.

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. It had a magical/mythological underpining that was fascinating. It had elements from so many greats it was like one part Harry Potter, one part Princess Bride, with a little Lord of the Rings and a bunch of others. Just great. I liked the interplay between the Goblin and Reaper - they were hilarious frenemies and even had a little bromance going on. The girl was incredible and very likeable. The story was compelling and had you hoping for the best outcome for all.
