It’s funny how vastly different the people in this show look once they change their hair. But like everything I came to like him a great deal. I did not like the actor when I first saw him as a warrior fighting. It was all very specific and narrowed out, to be honest. I’m still confused) then this lady in red being a deity, as well as another ‘main’ male one, then why specifically there needed to be a ‘bride’ in all of this at all. First the how and why of Kim Shin becoming a Goblin (he killed a lot of people so he was made immortal with a sword stuck in his chest as punishment even though he was a good guy and was just protecting his country? And he was made ‘goblin’ because, oh I don’t know, he wished really hard while he was dying or something? So it was a combination of his wishing and him being punished that he was made a dokkaebi? Yeah. The mythology in this show is really shady. You know that eerie keening that is often theme to Dracula or vampire based movies or shows? Beauty and the Beast 2 had this evil piano who was breaking up the castle at one point and he sounded like that? So maybe it’s a piano? I don’t know I’m just going to stop here. That’s the only thing that keeps coming to my mind whenever I think of this theme.
I know I’m musically illiterate but I tried. It was this spunky mix (I have very little knowledge of musical instruments so bear with me) that was part electric guitar and part (the only way I can identify it) Dracula-music. The soundtrack is amazing, especially, what I believe is, the main theme of the show. Another thing which I noticed, or ‘let myself’ notice, much later was the music. Subtle humor, not the loud and embarrassing display that we got. I felt that at that point of time their personalities should have been established more and then the humor should have been added. It was making me uncomfortable because the characters cracking jokes were supposed to be the serious and silent types. It may have improved/grown on me later on but at the beginning it was super cringy and awkward. The problem that was staring me in the face in these episodes was the humor. In any case, this 2/4 part was really off-putting and I even noncommittally considered abandoning it. I will admit that on that particular day I was not in a happy state of mind so that might have affected how I felt? But it also could have been that because I wasn’t happy it made me critical in a way I normally would not have been. The next 5 or so episodes were definitely not that great. You’re up for discovering the tone, the characters, the setting and the story. The first quarter was intriguing and exciting in a way a new show always is.

I believe it was some of that plus the fact that the first few episodes of Goblin just weren’t that good which made it difficult for me to like this show. It took another 4 days for me to actually shake off the hangover and start enjoying Goblin. Love in the Moonlight was a really good show. Yes, I’ll keep on numbering them until I get to 100 or something.
