I am honestly finding it hard to put into words just how amazing and powerful this show was; it is honestly just perfect. The story is so incredible and powerful, filled with layers of meaning and symbology that deserve more than one watch just to grasp the depth of each lesson. The cinematography was gorgeous, particularly the long shots of our main couple. The music is absolutely breathtaking, which is unsurprising as every score by Hye-Seung Nam is incredible. The highs and lows of this show are formidable, because as much as this was a tragedy, it was also a show of the triumph of love, and most surprisingly of all, it was at times laugh out loud funny. The love/hate relationship between the Goblin and the Grim Reaper was unbelievably funny and heartwarming to watch. I can say with my whole heart that this is one of those stories that is life-changing to watch. The breadth of emotion I felt while watching this was the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and at the end of it I can say that it was some of the best television I have ever watched and time very well spent.
