Goblin — Season 1
For centuries, Kim Shin walked the earth – a legendary general from Goryeo cursed with immortality after a devastating defeat. Weary of watching generations come and go, he’s spent nine hundred years on a quest: to find his bride, a mortal woman destined to release him from his eternal existence by pulling a magical sword. Then he meets Ji Eun-tak, a bright and resilient high school student who carries her own hidden sorrows but faces the world with unwavering optimism, and an unusual ability – she can see ghosts. She boldly declares herself to be the Goblin’s bride, seemingly offering a simple solution to his long suffering. But as their paths intertwine, what begins as a destined encounter blossoms into something far more complicated: love.
Condemned for treason, he faced oblivion. Yet, a strange rebirth followed, casting him adrift upon the world. Now, an immortal wanderer, he searches tirelessly for a bride – the one whose touch might break the chains of his eternal existenc…
She found herself in Quebec, a sudden displacement that stole her breath. The unfamiliar landscape solidified a conviction within her – a certainty about Shin’s very being.
When Eun-tak is abducted by loan sharks, a grim resolution awaits. Her friend, Shin, initiates an investigation, tasking Deok-hwa with uncovering the truth behind Eun-tak's aunt’s involvement.
Even as the words echoed – a promise of release, a glimpse of what might have been – Shin clung to life. The Reaper offered passage, a descent into the silent realms beyond. Yet, in the face of oblivion, a flicker of defiance remained. She …

The weight of the future settled upon her, a silent plea in his eyes. He spoke of a task, a demand for action, yet she sensed the unseen currents swirling beneath the words. She didn’t grasp the full implications, the irreversible path he u…
Returning from her test, she was met with a cake and greetings from Shin, Deok-hwa, and the Reaper. She and Shin then left for the movies.
She was the bride, a truth that warmed her with a quiet joy. Yet, his face held no echo of it; a shadow seemed to cling to him as he pushed her away.
He fled from Shin, a desperate scramble away from her. The Reaper's words echoed in his mind, and he searched frantically, his gaze sweeping every possible avenue. But she was gone, vanished without a trace.
The silence stretched, taut and brittle, until it snapped. "Who are you?" she demanded, her voice sharp, laced with a sudden, unsettling certainty. "And how do you know it?"
The revelation hung in the air, a strange and unsettling truth. They went to the chicken shop, yet Sunny, her face a mask of disbelief, insisted they leave.
A chilling presence marked the workplace, and Shin and the Reaper both recognized the unsettling truth: Deok-hwa was concealing something. They understood that the spectral visitor carried a weight of secrets, a hidden identity masked by an…
The unveiling came at a steep price. He had wielded his gifts for personal gain, and the powers that governed the shadows demanded recompense. A reckoning descended, a judgment from the depths, ensuring that such transgression would not go …
He drew his sword, a shield against Park Joong-heon, determined to protect Eun-tak. Then, he vanished into a desolate expanse, battling the encroaching solitude.
A flicker of surprise crossed her face as Shin appeared on the street. It was a familiar sight, yet it stirred a memory – a promise made, a meal to be shared. The surprise quickly softened, replaced by a gentle reminder of a commitment.
He decided on a wedding, a sudden impulse blooming amidst the cascade of cherry blossoms. With a swiftness born of the moment, they plunged headfirst into preparations, eager to celebrate within days.
