The Lonely, Shining Goblin in his secret garden
by girlfriday
I don’t know why, but I thought we’d get something a little more supernatural for our first glimpse of Gong Yoo (Big) as a goblin. It seems silly, since I knew that goblin Gong Yoo would look exactly like human Gong Yoo, so what was I expecting? In any case, here’s our first set of stills for tvN’s new fantasy romance The Lonely, Shining Goblin, featuring our goblin hero being his sad, beautiful, and lonesome self.
The new drama from hit writer Kim Eun-sook (Descended From the Sun, Heirs, Secret Garden) and PD Lee Eung-bok (Descended From the Sun, Discovery of Romance, Secret) is a fantasy romance about a strange and sad goblin named Kim Shin (the new title includes a pun on his name, Shin, written with the hanja for “god/ghost”). He lives an immortal life, but his fate is described as pitiful, and he seeks a human bride in order to end his immortality. Gee, how bad could living forever be?
Kim Go-eun (Cheese in the Trap) plays his love interest, a high school senior (grumble, grumble) who remains optimistic despite her painful life. The drama will feature a bromance between the goblin and an amnesiac reaper, played by Lee Dong-wook (Bubblegum), as they become roommates and usher souls to the afterlife together.
Yoo Inna (One More Happy Ending) co-stars as Lee Dong-wook’s love interest, a sweet and immature owner of a chicken shop, and Yook Sung-jae (Village: Secret of Achiara) plays a chaebol heir, the thirteenth generation of a family that’s taken care of the goblin. In exchange for their massive wealth, I would imagine. We haven’t been told explicitly what the goblin’s powers are in this drama, but they’re usually associated with wealth in folklore.
Well, the goblin looks appropriately sad and beautiful here, but he’s going to have other emotions, right? Because I’m all for setting a mood, but swoony, happy goblin trumps sad, lonely goblin any day of the week.
The Lonely, Shining Goblin airs on Fridays and Saturdays following The K2, beginning in December.

Is there a need to make his love interest a "high school senior"? Really? I'm not sure if it's even going to add any substance to the story.

I know, it's ridiculous. At least make her a college student (I'd really appreciate a grad student). She can still work her ninety-five part-time jobs like a typical hard-working Candy while going to school, right? I want an academically smart and realistic heroine! Let's be a little less icky, dramas, for once? This is just a crazy age gap.

"a high school senior who remains optimistic despite her painful life."
Hmmm. Maybe part of her past pain is that she's been held back fourteen times and she's actually 26 years old? And she's optimistic that THIS YEAR she will actually be able to graduate?
That'd fix it for me. . .

Kim Go Eun does not look like a high school senior and anything that has anything to do with romance between possible minors is off putting for me. Why, why not make her a graduate student?? I think it will go from High School to more maturity with a time jump but this was unnecessary.

What scares me the most is that this is the same writer that gave us The Heirs.
So I'm guessing Kim Go-eun will be a high school senior until episode 14, then she graduates, ends up running after the goblin, gets hit by a random speeding Kia in one of those crosswalks of doom, doesn't die but is in a coma, wakes up, pulls out the IV, gets a hold of her samsung smartphone, rushes to meet the goblin, gets a big hug, a fake kiss with a 360 degree turn in either a rainy setting or a snowy night fall.

Yeah, a high schooler would be too young for Gong Yoo, but then again, who wouldn't be too young for him? He's a freaking gabillion year old Goblin for crying out loud. Also, if Kim Go-eun's gonna look anything like how she did in Eungyo and the more recent Canola (which I'm pretty sure she will), she'll fit right in as a high schooler. Now let's just hope there's gonna be a time jump and/or have graduate quickly and get out of high school and maybe in college or something.

It'd probably be one of those shows where they meet when she's very young, then as the years pass, she'll age while he remains ageless, like Edward Scissorhands...that was a very sad and haunting movie.

It her current hairstyle, it ages her. Maybe they could change the hair but still I wish they didn't got that route. Or even if they do, its done on flashbacks and move to the present timeline soon. Yoo Inna looks younger compared to her in the script reading session but none can pass as high school girls. Hair can change a lot so I am hoping that is what they do.

Reading the description for Kim Go Eun's character is giving me horrific SWWTN flashbacks where they gave Lee Yu Bi's character, Aang's personality without the pathos, powers or tattoo... well she had a scar or something.
It made me so mad. I was already pissed at how her storyline was handled in Gu Family Book( a compelling one that got sidelined) and was looking forward to her lead role where she'd properly display her acting chops but they made her some kind of happy-go-lucky who munches on sugar in her spear time.
Now am reading the character descriptions for the girls and they all sound like sweet, innocent rays of sunshine for the brooding souls of the goblin and reaper. I hope I'm wrong. Maybe they'd go for a comedic vibe for all. Oh well, there's always the pretty to tide me through... Wow, these got long! How? When?

Well, apparently Kim Go-eun's character, Ji Eun-tak, can see spirits/ghosts, so that should make for some interesting character behavior/personality. As for Yoo In-ah's Sunny character, I think she's going to be quite sassy seeing that she's into materialistic things and is so used to men falling for her left and right that when she comes across a man that doesn't even give her the time of day, she's going to wonder why that is... Idk how it's all gonna play out, but I'm optimistic that it'll be good.

I am one of the few whom were never sold by anything penned by Kim Eun Sook. I dropped almost all of her dramas including DOTS and Secret Garden. But she is a star writer in Korea and despite that I always find her writings rather cheesy, she definitely knows her way and consistent in striking the right cords and cater for the taste of the korean audiences, or fair to say most drama viewers.

That goes to say that Jang Hyuk is one of a kind. I read somewhere that Gong Yoo was the first choice for DOTS and SJK was casted only because GY turned down the role. I don't know for whatever reason he didn't want to do DOTS but now he is going to headline KES' written drama.

My idea about goblin is the green dwarf that usually ambush the player in group mode on every game I've played.
So the irony that plays here is the Lonely time and Handsome-human-look-alike goblin as the 180 degree transformation since Kdramaland apprently love to twist the usual expectation....
If that's the case, should I leave out my armor too??

Noooo! Death is my favourite Endless and I don't want any k-drama reinterpretation of her.
KES had better not have any ideas along those lines. I hope DC fries her ass 10000x if she even thinks about anything remotely Sandman-related/inspired.

I don't think this writer has enough brain-cells to come up with something like this on her own. I can see a big giant lawsuit coming down from DC Comics.

Everything except the cast is sounding so unappealing. Writer, PD, plot, character descriptions... none of them are very reassuring.
And yuck at making her a high schooler. He's a gabillion years old. Even if we forget the ickiness of it, I'm pretty sure her maturity level would be so far behind his that there's no way he'd be sincerely interested. I so want to watch Gong Yoo, but ugh.... Nothing sounds good about this. Somebody save the cast!!
Unfortunately with KES's tendency to make drama hits I fear that this is gonna get huge and then I'll feel like I *have* to watch... sigh... It's gonna be another Heirs for me, I can just feel it... ?

I'm going to keep praying that KGE's character starts off a high schooler only for the set up episodes. By the time she and Gong Goblin meet and truly romance she's a college student or hardworking 20 something adult. Not here for high school contract marriage.
I don't trust this writer but the 4 episodes of DOTS I watched and Tumblr watched were beautifully shot so I'll be watching. I mean it's a freaking weekly dose of Gong Yoo. If I could get through 'Big' I can get through this. Though I will drop and again Tumblr gif watch if she remains a high schooler for all its run,

Whatever plot, I'll take any Gong Yoo in any form. Especially with no zombies attached!

Why a goblin so like human? I thought they will add some effects on his body.

I actually excepted this to be full on fantasy with costumes and everything (I've been watching too many Wu Xia Chinese dramas haha). So I was pretty surprised to see how normal our goblin looks....bleh.
I wanted Gong Yoo with a glory of mane or something...*pouts*

I just want this drama to be a bromance between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong-wook. I don't care about some High School bride or the other love interest. Just give me immortal bromance!
