*** "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" has beautiful filming locations! This is what I love about watching K-dramas because of these beautiful locations, which I try to visit when I travel in Korea. K-Dramas are always an exciting viewing experience because I get my travel bucket lists from those that I've watched. 

 

 

Korean Folk Village in Yongin City

 

A lot of scenes were filmed in this village. It is a tourist spot where a lot of dramas are filmed (historical dramas) and where you can experience the traditions as well as the past of Korea. Here, you can rent a Hanbok. You can easily access the place from Seoul.

*** I hope we could get MORE shots of Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo filming their combined commercial. They are just so cute and awesome together, having great bromance.

*** It's been many years since "Goblin" aired but, I missed Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo's bickering friendship as goblin and grim reaper. That's why, I'm happy for their new CF collaboration and it's like watching Goblin all over again. It feels time has just begun for the drama. In this new CF, I love their leading man aura. Just looking at them makes me smile. They exude great bromance.

*** I hope Lee Dong Wook and Gong Yoo will collaborate together again in a drama. I miss their chemistry on the small screen. Their chemistry in "Goblin" was incredibly good, and funny. The comic friendship between a great reaper and a goblin that no one expected was played perfectly by them.

8 K-Dramas Where The Female Lead Is The Male Lead’s Savior

 

It’s common to hear the phrase “knight in shining armor,” who is ready to save the damsel in distress. However, in K-dramas, the tables are often turned and it is not the woman, but the man who needs saving. These wonder girls are ordinary people with some extraordinary talents, who emerge as lifelines for the men in distress. Here are eight K-dramas where the female lead turned into the male lead’s bodyguard and savior of sorts.

 

 

“Goblin”

Kim Shin aka the Goblin (Gong Yoo) is a valiant general who has been cursed with immortality. His only salvation is a woman who is destined to be his bride and can help wield the sword stuck in his chest and set him free. It has been close to a century, but he is yet to find her, until he meets the orphaned Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun), who has the knack to see ghosts. She can even call upon the Goblin, but things could spiral out of control for him. The 999-year-old Goblin, now a super rich gentleman in the present day, finds himself drawn towards Eun Tak, but there is a slight complication.

Eun Tak has been categorized as a miscellaneous omitted person by the Grim Reaper (Lee Dong Wook) since her birth and has ominously tilted the balance of fate which the Grim Reaper oversees and awaits an opportunity to correct.

Though Kim Shin is well aware that Eun Tak is his bride, fate has its own cards to play in their union. And the question is, does he really want her to take the sword off his chest and set him free?

“Goblin” is a bittersweet tale of love and yearning with a fantastical touch. Gong Yoo’s endearing charm immortalized the Goblin for many, and his bromance with Lee Dong Wook is the one of best viewers have ever seen.
