[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Just thinking about the ending bring tears to my eyes. I'm heartbroken... I may need many lifetimes to recover from the pain. I don't think I'll ever watch the second half of episode 16 again. One time is more than enough. I can't make my heart suffer again and again. But I wonder how Korean viewers feel about the ending. Will the majority like it or not? After all, they probably can understand and relate to it better as it is part of their lives and beliefs.

I'm not going to lie, I am torn apart. I am half satisfied and half disappointed. I'm happy for WangSan, sad for ShinTak. It hurts me badly she is not Shin Tak anymore, she is someone else with the memories of the real Shin Tak. Just like how Sunny wasn't Sun Hee. Two different people, two different personalities. Even though I don't like it or agree with it, I do appreciate the meaning behind ShinTak love story. An everlasting love, so powerful that it overcome it all, even multiply deaths. I have to add that I'm in minority and I didn't see her death as necessary. Yes, she is 29. but she escaped from it when she was 9 and 19. Then why not escape it again? She sacrificed herself for the kids. A good cause but her heroic act is annoying but I guess that's part of who she is. 

I wonder if we will get to see Secretary Kim dance as he promised. LOL!

 

I will really miss the wonderful cast, the beautiful drama and the addicting times here. It's actually the first Korean drama after Healer that made me de-lurk,

so it shows how much I love this drama. @naritul and @selenette Thanks for mentioning me!

So while Shin is still IMMORTAL ET comes back as a schoolgirl, which means she will keep coming back, in every life just to come back in the next one? How utterly stupid is that? Tell me I'm wrong girls.

 

You're not wrong! I didn't like the ending at all... the last episode was not good! It was sad, even the last scene is sad. She is human, he is goblin... he will always have to watch her die.

 

I love the drama and everybody knows it but the last episode was bad as hell. To me, this is the best drama of Kim Eun Sook and her worst ending!

After watching that painful preview, this is my reaction.

 

I regret mistakenly playing the preview. I will not be able to get my good night sleep now! Why do they keep doing that to my fragile heart? You brought him to life just to let him see her die! How cruel and evil is that? And please, don't do reincarnation! I've seen it many times before and I never liked it. Give all 4 of them a miracle. By the way, I really love it when people can still stay positive. Sadly, all my positive thoughts were smashed by that truck of doom.

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Our characters been through so much hell. They were separated for 9 years. Kim Shin just returned from the dead, for what purpose? To see the love of his life die?
No, I can't accept it and I never will. Even the memory issue that scared me most will probably get solved in the next episode and Eun Tak will regain her memories.
This must be another hardship in the way, another test to overcome! Positive thoughts are the only thing that keep me sane right now.

Just look at these smiles and how much they express happiness!  Our writer won't give it to us and then take it away, right?

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I can't keep up with all of you! This forum is on fire!!! And OMG, are they're going to make babies? Please, yes!

This episode is amazing, loved every second of it! 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

My reaction when I realize my favorite drama is about to end but I'm not willing to let go just yet. LOL!

I had such a great time watching this drama with everyone here! Soompi is still my favorite place

Be strong! Your lover will come by your breath call dear lovely ET, be strong for just one episode again I guess... When the OST of your scene is full of Ailee or somethin' like that then it will changed and full of Mamamoo's!

Actually, this was my post I made here on Soompi and I used gifs for it. But it's still nice to see my own post roaming around the internet. That's so cool!

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Gong Yoo is really too charming in his acting. The way he tilts his head and his facial expressions, I can repeat those non-stop!

I love his reactions when she closes her eyes while expecting a kiss. 

I actually freed any schedule I might have for today and tomorrow so nothing will stand in the way between me and my favorite Goblin.

I want to dedicate these two days just for Goblin finale.

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I hope the ratings will be even higher in the upcoming episodes!

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I love the moments when the camera shows us their hands. It's meaningful and it gives so many feels.

I got a flu yesterday and this long wait is not helping at all. Even when I'm sick, I keep thinking about Goblin.
And today is my birthday.... please give me the best birthday present ever. Happy ending for all couples.

Amazing drawing for epic moment

Edit: Why they keep doing that? They make us fall in love with a song and then they release a version sang by different artist.  I still hope they'll release the original versions of Beautiful and Heaven. And what about the song from the first episode when Kim Shin was walking towards the king? I've waited for the song ever since I heard it.

Beautiful edits of our STP  cr: weibo, verchae

 

 

 

 

One of the reasons I love this drama is because there's no love triangle. I really want a happy ending for this couple too.

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I see in the spoilers pictures that they are filming at places they've been before. Maybe they ought to relive everything in order to remember their past. My heart just wouldn't accept anything else. I pray it's not one of those cases when memories are forgotten for good and the main characters start from a new page. I wouldn't dare be greedy and ask for marriage and kids, I will be satisfied enough if they give us lots and lots of lovey dovey and a VERY happy ending for both couples. Please, make it the best fantasy drama I've seen.

 

Kim Shin sees his family from afar for the last time.

His goodbye words are very sad. At least this time he had peace of mind and he left them knowing they are safe.

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

This is basically me right now...

This is so heartbreaking and depressing. All the memories... no!!! She have to regain them, she must!!!
And what about him? When he will be back... in what form? Will he have his memories? So many questions, it's driving me crazy!

And to think just few hours ago I was hopeful after I saw all the spoilers pictures. 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Breathtaking scenes.

The way he's looking at her and smiling, tells us how much he admires her.

This is how he would like to remember his first and last love.

 

  

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

A source of happiness and sadness.

"On the day of the first snowfall every year, the goblin agrees to be summoned by me. I will be waiting for you."

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

My heart goes out to Eun Tak for going through the same thing, twice! How painful it must be for her to see her loved ones vanish in front of her.

It must be for very heartbreaking for them too, I can't imagine how they feel when they know they have to leave her.

 

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Their smiles are so natural in this blissful moment 

I don't know why but I feel like I see Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun instead of Kim Shin and Eun Tak.

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

When I watched the special live, I was rather disappointed. But after I finished watching it with subtitles, I realized the captions are important for better understanding. If you're bored and want more Dokkaebi in your life, you need to watch it. It has cute moments. The screencaps I added made me laugh. How can they describe him so well? LOL!

I want to give a big high-five to all those who are able to watch episode 13 more than once. This girl right here, cannot.

But I think I am doing pretty good 24 hours post-kim shin death. On the road to recovery...

I admit I'm one of those who watched episode 13 more than once. The last scene in particular is just so addicting. It's painfully beautiful. If it was the last episode and it ended like that, there's no way I could repeat it over and over again. But... I know there are 3 more episodes so I want to enjoy Goblin as much as I can before the ending.

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

Have I mentioned that I love Ji Eun Tak? This girl is so goodhearted, courageous and smart. No matter what happens to her, when she's afraid or on the verge of death… she never loses her spirit and never shows she's afraid. I loved how in episode 13 she protected Sunny from that evil eunuch, even endangering herself. Just like Kim Shin, she's someone who's willing to sacrifice her life for the people she loves. She even tried to kill herself just to save him. And when that didn't work, she asked him to kill her. I have a feeling in episode 14 she will go through a mental breakdown, and instead of Grim Reaper erasing her memories, she'll suffer from selective amnesia. It's the only way she can continue to live.

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

One of my favorite scenes, Kim Shin affectionate hug.

It's touching how much protection and comfort she finds in his tight embrace.

 

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

@selenette Do you mean this?

She's crying so prettily. She is really a strong girl.

 

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I was afraid we'll have this kind of unbearable cliffhanger and it did happen. What a terrible nightmare! Tell me now how to survive until next week. Well, this episode made me realize few things. Firstly, it gave me answers related to the characters past and current decisions. Secondly, this episode made me realize that even though we've pretty much guessed it all; it's different when I see it with my own eyes. Thirdly, all the spoilers in the world couldn't prepare me for this heartbreak. Lastly, seeing how all of us are crying today, I can't imagine how emotionally draining it must be for the cast. Even if it's just acting, they still have to live the character in order to pass those emotions to us. Truly, the acting is overwhelming.

I wasn't expecting the eunuch story and the sword arc to have such a strong connection. I'm even more surprised that both things ended in the same episode. That's great, actually. It will give us 3 more episodes to get to the bottom of everything. Most importantly it will enough time to resolve issues without it being rushed and time to fully explore the next stage in the lives of our 4 main leads. I've said it before and it has not changed. I'm opposed to any use of amnesia. Since it does seem to go that way, I beg our writer to let them recover their memories, even the sad ones, in any way possible. I don't want them to start their love story anew. I want the old love story because I got attached to it. What's the point to build such a beautiful love story, only to start it all over again from the beginning?

I made these gifs while crying. These devastating moments broke my heart!

Roy Kim, Kim E-Z - HEAVEN MV

 

P.S. I didn't know it's a duet... I thought it will be Roy Kim Solo. In the drama we didn't hear Kim E-Z voice. But have you noticed? Another Kim LOL!

It was like that in Beautiful too. The version in the drama was different. I pray those versions will be released in the complete soundtrack.

[[Drama 2016-2017] Guardian: The Lonely and Great Goblin 도깨비]

I can't deal with my emotions well. This episode ruined me completely. I can't stop crying. Thank god no one was at home during the episode or else they would laugh at me. Just when I think this drama can't get better, a new episode comes and blow my socks off. The best episode so far, amazing!

The kiss is passionate, emotional and very unexpected!
