Goblin k drama1/31/2024 It’s fantasy, historic, action, tragedy, comedy and romance. Yostina: I first saw glimpses of the show on Facebook and thought it was a comedy, but as I watched, I realized it’s an all-in-one soap opera, as my friend Lalien said. I would have missed half of my life if I hadn’t watched it. I can never thank my friend enough for recommending "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" to me. One day, I just woke up finding myself fully captivated by this show. I found the first two episodes slightly unappealing, but as I continued to watch it, I caught myself smiling broadly and got very immersed in each episode. A dear friend of mine strongly recommended this show and out of friendship, I tried to watch it. Lalien: At first, I thought it was pretty boring. What was your first impression of the show? So, without further ado, let’s get you all excited to watch this great soap opera. That’s why I applied to be a honorary reporter this year, to learn more about Korean media and to introduce this beautiful country to my own country and to the world. I fell in love with Korea because of it, especially Korean soap operas, K-pop music and soap opera soundtracks. My passion for Korea started in 2013 when I watched the first Korean TV show of my life, which was "Boys Over Flowers" (꽃보다 남자). I work as an online freelance graphic designer. Little did I know that I was destined to meet, fall in love and marry a Korean! I fell in love with its society, music and language. From then on, an interest about Korea sparked in my heart and it grew bigger and bigger. When the very first Korean TV shows aired in the Philippines in the early 2000s, I was smitten by them. I've been married to an awesome Korean man for almost seven years now. Lalien: Greetings, everybody! I'm Lalien from the Philippines, but I'm currently living in the beautiful country of Korea. Meet the two honorary reporters who are huge fans of "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God." Come and join us in our interview-slash-conversation. So what happens when two honorary reporters, who are passionate about this show, meet up? Collaboration! Inspired by this TV show, we ended up writing an unusual article. "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" is a fantasy romance with an ounce of historical twists, pounds of comedy, a right dose of action, a pint of heart-wrenching moments and a slight touch of horror. She's the same writer behind another famous show, "Descendants of the Sun" (태양의 후예). It is the first of its kind from the writer of this screenplay, Kim Eun-sook. What genre is the TV show? Well… that's a bit hard to answer. All the merchandise related to the show is sold-out and are some of the best-selling merchandise out there. The TV show's soundtrack is topping the charts, too, not just one or two songs, but most of the songs. That's considered very rare, even for Korea’s big three television channels. It started with a one-digit rating, increasing to a two-digit rating as more episodes came out, and even hitting more than 20 percent rating on its final episode. Want some proof? It got a very high viewing rate for a program on a cable channel.
