GOBLIN : The lonely and great god

I wasn't expecting this to be my first review but writing is therapeutic for me, this series totally got me hooked, sad, confused and just basically in a made up emotional mess, I am not sure if any of you watch Korean dramas  but I do, and i would say you should absolutely try it. The Goblin series is an amazing one it has comedy, tragedy and miracles all rapped up into one.
First of all, I will give a brief of the movie and if you are an absolute romantic, be prepared before you click the link at the end of this post..



The Goblin was basically about a man who out of pride made a wrong decision that ended up being killed alongside his sister and family, he was punished by God to walk on the earth for as long as it took him to find the goblin's bride (FYI: this by the way is the most handsome goblin ever)...
The love portrayed in this movie absolutely left me dazed, got me thinking, is it even possible to love this much? the acting was pristine. I legit had to keep telling myself over and over "its just a movie" " its not real" although it seemed like it was, Korean dramas always get me so involved and invested in their series, everything always seems so real, and they put it in a huge effort with details of the era.

Critics have said that the movie was quite stereotyped with the man being wealthy and almost untouchable and the girl being a damsel in distress, which in many ways is very true but the female character was also very strong and the writers made sure to let her grow up before any intimacy was introduced, overall everyone on the production did a really awesome job they deserved the award they got.  I can't quite say I loved the ending,  it seemed like an unnecessary plot twist that she died, although it was a happy ending, i believe it could have been much better.

I love Will smith, no doubt about this, and he did such a beautiful number on this one. Bright looked more like a modern day adaptation of ...
