  1. I read in an earlier post that someone thought this drama would be like the classic “Little Women” by Louisa May Alcott.  I read the synopsis of that story since it’s been far too long since I read it….and it seems as though the 3 sister’s characters are loosely based on the characters from the book.  Also, the circumstances.  In-kyung is based on Jo, who lived with her rich great Aunt and the neighbor rich boy is based on the rich boy next door in the book.  The storyline is totally different, though! The drama is so exciting, fast paced and full of intrigue!  Can’t wait to see more!

  2. I’m not so sure I like the combination of OTP, because BJH has a very “young” look......she’s quite diminutive in stature and features!  However, it’s quite entertaining! I want to see what Nam Chi Won does with that upstairs room, because it looked quite creepy! That’s a lot of work!

     

    so is that room where he was caught in the fire?  Is he an orphan?  What is that VP’s relationship to him.....not his father, right?  Seems like he is kind of a guardian figure, though.

  3. @chuu18, I think JH is written that way, a person with no dating experience, so we can understand her naïveté and bewilderment about what’s happening with SH.  Because she had no dating experience, she cannot tell by his actions that he truly loves her.  More so because he put up a wall in the beginning, she doesn’t get it that when he kissed her, it was kind of like a confession for him.  That he was ready to begin a real relationship, that was his way of saying, “I like you”.  

     

    Of course, she doesn’t know about all the behind the scenes things he’s been doing on her behalf, so that further leads to her misunderstanding him.  SH is not a verbal kind of guy, and although they had great communication in the beginning, it’s been broken down when it comes to their feelings about each other.  He has never expressed in words how he feels about JH, that’s what JM was encouraging him to do.  But, men are from Mars and women are from Venus, so what can I say???

  4. @maddymappo, maybe it’s the Assistant writer!  Remember in the beginning episode, JH was featured doing the writing, putting all the ppl items into the scenes? Lol, could be the same thing happening here....the assistant writer got to write the scenes where the ppl is featured!  So that writer must have also written the scene where SJ grabbed her bra in the back seat of the car and put it in her handbag!  I thought that was a weird one, too! 

     

    It’s all just a part of the comedy, makes it funny!  Although BN’s response was creepy, not funny! Euwwww

    All that being said, I don't want her dating another guy while she's "married" to SH.

    I agree!  Fake marriage or not, they had a wedding ceremony, with guests who witnessed their matrimonial union.  So they both need to keep appearances, at least PRETEND that it’s real, and shouldn’t be having any outside dates with other people! 

     

    However, I do see the points brought up by other people......how JH, who never had a boyfriend or dated, should be able to have the experience. But not now!!!! Too late, she already got married!  In this way, it shows JH’s naïveté and immaturity!  There are things that you just, DOn’T do!!!!! Sigh......I am really curious how it’s going to play out...the preview shows her accepting rides with BN on his motorcycle....RED FLAG! RED FLAG! Both JH and SH, in my opinion, are so “out of it” in regards to relationships with members of the opposite sex.  Both of them are doing inappropriate things because of their inexperience/naïveté.

  6. Hallelujah, I finally got to watch Episode 6!  We had an island wide power outage here, due to lightning downing some poles. So annoying, my neighborhood didn’t have power for 12 hours! Drove me crazy! 

     

    So anyway, I can’t stand HR!  Her crying is so irritating, her thoughts on married life is so immature!  She seems to live in a fantasy world....girl, wake up!!!! She does not seem to be in tune with the reality of today’s world, and her current situation with WS.  Hearing his thoughts on relationships and marriage, I think was really a wake up call for her.  They both are obviously in different places in their life right now.  Not the right timing!!!

     

    Regarding JH/SH.  I agree, his words to her were quite harsh regarding their relationship.  I would have been just as confused as her, especially because his behavior at the wedding was so touching.  He seemed to be very caring and did seem to insinuate there was something more.  I realize there needs to be something to add to the drama, but it seems like it might be a bit much with the Boknam guy? We shall see.....cuz it does make things interesting!

     

    i am enjoying watching the SG/SJ relationship developing, I really like how SJ handles him.  He really is full of himself, and it’s  fun watching her knock him down and bring him back to earth!  I love SJ’s character and Esom is knocking this role out of the park! Love her character so much!

  7. It is down to the final episodes of Goblin, and I feel so very sad. My adult children and I are Big fans of Harry Potter and the Hobbit series, we like to watch movies of the Fantasy genre. GOblin, by far, has been MESMERIZING. Everything about it has been SUPERB. To KES, I Thank her for an AMAZING story! It was so well written, with just enough drama, twists and turns to keep all of us interested, and so much for us to theorize and talk about! I've enjoyed all her screenplays, but this is her ULTIMATE best so far!!!!

    I also Thank the actors/actresses, as they evoked such emotions from all of us! Each of them BECAME the character they portrayed, so the story became even MORE REAL!!! Awesome, awesome acting!!!!!

    To the Film Director, I also Thank You.......such beautiful scenes, beautiful scenery, wonderful editing! All of that added to the wonder of this drama! I've been to Quebec City in Canada.....about 30+ years ago.....Thank You for capturing its essence! I will surely feel lost on Fridays and Saturdays now!

  8. I'm surprised not much is being said about Kim Go Eun's acting. I think she's awesome, I'm a fan of her. I first saw her in CITT, then I went on to watch her other works. I'm amazed at how natural she is, both in looks and acting. Make no mistake, she is a key player in this drama.  Some are saying that they don't feel any chemistry between KS & ET......but I do. Right now it doesn't seem as though ET has any true romantic feelings for KS, but it seems like she's stirring things up inside of him.  Why else would he be worried about what he's wearing or what accessories he should be carrying when he's summoned? Then he goes looking for her because she's not summoning him. I absolutely loved it! I wonder if in all those 900 years of life, KS never had a love? So this is all foreign to him, that's why he's in such awe of ET. I'm eagerly anticipating what happens between them......that ending scene of Episode was AMAZING, I was getting goosebumps watching those two handsome, charismatic men strutting their stuff! Coming out of that fog! Wow!

  9. @luvkstyle, those two dramas you mentioned were Korean films. There's a big difference between Korean dramas (TV) and Korean films. On TV there is almost NO KISSING, it's mostly hugging. In the films, it's no holds barred! Seriously! I saw those two films you mentioned, and was totally shocked! Unless it's a cable network, the love scenes are pretty tame.

  10. Episode 14 was awesome! Thank you, @briseis, for all your wonderful analyses. You must be a deep thinker, and have great "voice" in expressing your thoughts.  I think you capture the essence of each character very well, and I appreciate your sharing on this forum very much. I'm sure you give all of us here much food for thought!!!!! Thank you!!!! :)

  11. I love watching WS' devotion to HS. He boldly lets her know, everytime he sees her, that his heart is still with her. I am pleased to see that he seems unfazed by her rejection of him, because to me, she's pretty cruel. He has done SOOOOOO much to protect her and kept her alive, and yet she can be so cruel. It seems her heart is still with WW, even after a year. She must be stupid, doesn't she realize who has gone the distance for her and risked his own life/security for her????  Wake up, girl!!!

    YH is something else. If any of you watched Shine or Go Crazy, the person who became his wife (not sure if her name was YH) was very sly and schemed a lot, too. In fact, his mother was demanding that they sleep together to produce future kings, but WS refused, because his heart was with the Princess.(his love interest in that story)

  12. Has anyone watched "shine or go crazy"? It told the story of Wang So and Wang Ok, briefly. Both were in love with the same woman, who was a Princess in that story. Wang So was married to his half-sister, probably this Yeonhwa character.  She loved him, but he didn't love her, but they had to be married to unite the Wang and Hwangbo factions.....political move. This is why I tend to NOT watch historical dramas, all the politics makes me dizzy!
