Synopsis of Goblin

Actually, the goblin was a strong military general during the Goryeo era. His real name is Kim Shin (Gong Yoo) but he turned into a goblin because he was killed by the King (Kim Min Jae).

After he was killed, he got the immortal life as a goblin that he initially thought that it was a blessing but actually, it was a curse.

To end his curse, he has to find his bride. After spending 900 years searching for his bride, he finally met Ji Eun Tak (Kim Go Eun), a young woman who was saved by him when the accident hit her in her childhood.

After Eun Tak’s life is being saved, she has the ability to see ghosts and mystical creatures. She also always hears the whispers that said she is the Goblin’s bride.

No longer after that, her mother died. She then moved to her aunt’s house but didn’t get the nice treatment from them.

Shortly, she meets again with Kim Shin on her birthday when she blows the birthday candle. From this accident, she later moves to Kim Shin’s house alongside Grim Reaper (Lee Dong Wook).

The time passes by and Eun Tak says that she is the Goblin’s bride.
