The Legacy of Goblin

Goblin is a fantasy-romance series that tells the story of Kim Shin, an immortal goblin (played by Gong Yoo) who has lived for 900 years and serves as a protector of souls. He is on a quest to find his destined human bride to end his eternal existence. His love interest, Ji Eun-Tak (portrayed by Kim Go-Eun), is a lively high school student with the ability to see ghosts and is fated to remove the sword from his chest. Lee Dong-Wook plays the Grim Reaper, who is meant to take Eun-Tak's soul but unexpectedly falls in love with a human character played by Yoo In-Na.

Upon its debut, Goblin made history by being the first drama to achieve over 20 percent in viewership ratings. Its iconic scenes and quotes remain a significant part of its legacy, and the show's soundtrack is still celebrated as one of the best in the K-drama genre.
