Lovely Write-up. You guys are couple goals <3 (all the best!) Living in the province Goblin was filmed in, I always find it funny how they romanticized Quebec. They made it to be a english speaking region (Quebec is famously french in Canada), and Quebecers tend to be cold to outsiders (my experience at least). And winters are the worse. But I cannot deny autumn here. The colours are amazing. The leaves are as if you're looking at fixed fire. That being said, I think your purchases are completely justified -- it's as if you're reliving precious memories with the loved one you shared them with.

What a sweet post.
I love that it means so much to both of you.
This was my winter watch and it was one of those times when the show and my mood were in perfect sync. Each shot was so beautiful.
I think Gong Yoo just wears clothes well, though they were beautiful ones.

This is such a lovely, sweet write-up! Thank you for your story, @ally-le! You and your husband are so thoughtful and wonderful!

Thank you for the lovely edit, DB! You guys are amazing! I’m still so in love with this show, although I’m trying hard to find another that may take its place one day! The first picture is mine, or actually, a friend that went with us who allowed me to use it for this! Thank you for this site to allow me to share this and also for being here so that I could discuss and read about others’ thoughts and ideas, not just for this drama, but many others. I probably would not love dramas as much if it was not for this site!

How awesome that you not only got to visit a beautiful city, but you also walked the same streets as those in your favorite drama, @ally-le! Aside from South Korea, I think that is a great bucket list place for drama watchers. Major props to your husband that can get your Goblin references because even though I randomly say, "It's a beautiful life..." no one around me gets it, lol😂. Does that last picture hint that Subway is a go-to during tough and stressful times? Hehe, or maybe it's Quiznos since I see it popping up now?😁

LOL! Nowhere as "romantic" as you and your husband ...

I DO try to make it a point to go into Seoul, each yr we head back to Asia.

Last year, from Canada - Feb 2017 I was back to homeland Singapore just by myself, and just had to make a quick impulsive dash into Seoul with my mom (another Kdrama fan, though far less connected). To actively seek down the GOBLIN plush toy for my daughter, believe it or not! (it didn't exist in Singapore! - I looked in every Miniso :P)

This was maybe only the second or thried time we had visited Seoul in Winter. It was a cold (didn't really pre-empt the crazy in me that would prompt a 3 days 2 nights impulse dive into Seoul with NO heavy Winter clothes brought in from Canada. Nothing except for a ocuple sweaters, scarves and one heavier jacket which I gave to my mom. I used a lighter 'dress' jacket. No boots, no beanie-toques nothing in minus 2 temperatures. Luckily 2 out of the 3 days were sunny!)

Aug 2017- saw us again (Grandma, me and my daughter in tow) heading off Seoul - where a 7 day stay turned into 10 days because our flight back to Singapore was delayed due to HK typhoon.

Seoul just has a very special attraction for me esp (and us) - I am there almost every yr. Won't be going in 2018 and already feeling the pangs of regret - it will be Japan and Singapore this year.

This comment contains what @ally-le expected it to contain. Implied!
PS - The flower story is actually super cute and I'm never going to roll my eyes at travel.

@ally-le I'm sure your drama induced shopping can be excused because all your reasons are so romantic and memory-worthy. *Swoon* The flowers especially!

What a lovely post @ally-le! ^^ I've broadly kept up with your posts about your Goblin exploits on db, but this is even better than anything I'd imagined it to be. Your post made me super happy!
Looking forward to your next post. ^^

Hi, Ally... you're fun! 😃😬😂😁
Thanks for sharing..

Yay for drama induced vacations!!! Quebec was soooooo amazing and just as beautiful as depicted on the show. The hotel, the European flare, the food were all wonderful. But I still don't like poutine!

I must say that I was a little green with envy at how romantic you and your husband are, @ally-le ! #coupleGoals indeed!!
Don't tell my mr.! he's great and all ! but the KDrama-themed gifts... *swoon*

I love this write up! You two really are couple goals! I'm going to have to steal your note that you had with the watch sometime in the future. Mr.Spicykimchi also appreciates romantic gestures like those, though he won't watch dramas with me.

This is a lovely write up. Your husband tracking down buckwheat flowers is such a sweet and meaningful gesture.

You had me at flowers. Everything about you article is so so romantic. It's the best drama induced spending so far.
Love your article. Really do. It just made me so happy right now. :-)

This is really beautiful @ally-le. I teared up reading it.

Hahaha as soon as I saw the picture of Montreal, I knew it was you, @Ally! Now I will go read.

Aww my heart! Reading this felt just as romantic as a kdrama moment <3 Everything is sooo sweet, glad you included the caveat though!

Agreed that I'm one of those that is easily swayed by the PPL and advertisements. Heck, they convinced me to set my dream vacation to Korea and since I am single and love traveling, I went to Korea for vacation last year.

Love it. The subway pic had me chuckling.

I totally knew it was you when I saw the title and picture lol
I love this <3 I actually also wrote about flowers!
My BFF and I were talking about this drama The Package the other day, and how it made me want to visit France (where it takes place) and she mentioned that she was sure Goblin had had that same effect with Canada (when we were watching the drama, we were both drooling over the fantastic scenery, and wondered if we would be able to find that magic door heh).
Always love reading about you and your husband, thanks for sharing! <3

Omg!!! @ally-le I knew about your trip but the other Goblin-related drama induced shopping?! Wowww Amazing and you and your hubby are cute and sweet! And it is extra cute because your hubby is so into the drama. #couplegoals

Thanks for sharing! I enjoyed reading it.

I'm going to Canada this summer with my sister. We are going to Montreal and Quebec but other places too. I made her watch Goblin (she doesn't watch dramas) and for the fun we will have one night in the Château Frontenac hotel !

We didn't choose Canada because of the drama, it was a old wish but it makes me more excited :p

What a lovely writing, thank you!

This is another post which makes me wanna finish Goblin.. hmm I'm in contemplation whether I should try watching it again or..

What romantics you two are! :)
Lovely write up!

It's always a pleasure to read your posts, Ally. When you posted a link to it on the OT last fall, I read the write-up of your trip on your blog, and I got a lot of vicarious pleasure from reading about your fangirl's-dream-come-true vacation.

The watch story was cute, too. It sounds like you and your hubby make one heck of an OTP. :) Thanks for sharing.

My trip to Quebec and Montreal last May was entirely influenced by Goblin. A good friend came with and she is not a K-drama watcher. We made it a mission to visit as many sights that scenes were taped as possible. Hesitant at first, but she got into it and made walking around Quebec more fun. We even sent letters from the famous post office box in the hotel. Took a one day/night trip to Montreal and it was totally worth it. The hiking options in both cities were great.

Yall are just so completely Sweet! I read cheesy romance novels and console myself with the fact that men like that don't exist in real life. And then I come to db and it's like....YEAH THEY DO because y'all are completely adorable!

This is the second time you've almost made me want to watch Goblin. So. Sweet.
