#GoblinOnAbsCbn cinematography is off the charts! Dubbing is well-played. And Gong Yoo and the cast are exceptional. The plot has depth.

Goblin created records not only in TRP ratings but also in OSTs—that has topped many charts. Apart from this, fans also thronged in to see Goblin's location spots in Seoul, where few famous scenes like the first meet and proposals were shot.
Gong Yoo's Goblin charm seems to be a never-ending one.
