June: I don't think I'll ever be ready to let go of this drama! I loved the wedding scene so much and their vows OMG! Too much for my little k-drama loving heart to take. I honestly still can't believe this drama is over :( I feel so empty now. But yes, I definitely kept the Kleenex industry going with how many times I needed to use them. No joke!

Logan: You caught me! We have to work up to reliving this drama trauma. How many people do you think are going to try to recreate the Goblin wedding scene for their own weddings? I hear there’s already a bunch of people going to Quebec to vacation just because of Goblin. It’s a phenomenon. The happy tears are the good kind. And there were a good number of scenes that invoked happy tears. For instance, I had so many happy tears when Eun Tak finally remembered everything.

Tiara: Ha! Let’s just add this drama onto the list of dramas which will just rips your heart out and makes you cry. I might need therapy after all the heartache between Scarlet Heart: Ryeo and Goblin. I can’t say I’m surprised everyone is wanting to travel to Quebec. Heck, it’s way closer for me to get there compared to Korea. One day, I will make it to Korea. Eun Tak remembering is happy sure, but that dumb butterfly god didn’t really give her a choice to remember. I don’t count those nine years a happy life when you feel sad most of the time and need pills to survive. Consideration my butt.

June: I should add Quebec to my trip next week. I'll just make a pit stop! Haha The transition from Scarlet Heart: Ryeo and Goblin was fun but it was like living through heartache all over again! Especially this ending, though I will say I liked it more than the Scarlet Heart ending for sure! I agree with you Tiara! Like what the heck she wasn't really happy and would feel so depressed most of the times, it hurt to watch her! I was like “Noooooo! She doesn't deserve that!”

Logan: Those 9 years were absolute torture on all of them. Both the Grim Reaper and Sunny had to keep their memories to themselves and pretend it never happened, the Goblin had to wander some weird desolate celestial wasteland, and Eun Tak could feel something was missing from her life and was miserable because of it. But out of all of them I was saddest for the Sunny. She hasn’t lived a long life like the Goblin and Grim Reaper where she was used to being alone and losing loved ones. It was a new type of pain for her and she endured it alone.

Tiara: However, Shin got to make the choice to walk between Heaven and Earth. The contact between him and Eun Tak allowed him to stay alive. Sunny got to tell the Butterfly God to butt out of her life and let her make her own decision. Grim Reaper remember in part I think because of his punishment. Sure Granny Samshin wanted someone to remember Shin, but I think it was for Grim Reaper to work out his issues. Mostly, the 9 years jump and the amnesia was super dumb and unnecessary. It actually did a disservice to Deok Hwa’s character. Grr!!!

June: Oh my gosh I know! I was like nooooooooo! I loved the whole dynamic between them and with the amnesia part broke my heart. I hate the amnesia trope so much ugh. It doesn't matter which drama it is, I will never ever like it!!!!

Logan: It’s kind of sad that Deok Hwa gets excluded from remembering and we don’t really know what becomes of him anyway. His loose ends did not get tied up, unfortunately. Which is a bummer for sure. But the scene that had me crying more than anything else is probably pretty obvious- Eun Tak’s sacrifice. It was horrible and mostly because I couldn’t even be mad. She did the right thing. But seeing her die after they worked so hard to stay together was so tragic.

Tiara: By using the amnesia trope, the character growth we saw from Deok Hwa after Grandpa’s death meant nothing. He finally learned what it meant to be a guardian to Shin, but now he doesn’t remember. Which means, Deok Hwa has spent the last 9 years as a man child. That growth is all meaningless and so was Grandpa’s death. I love CEO Kim and his relationship with Deok Hwa, but the meaning behind the marriage talk already happened. Deok Hwa just doesn’t remember. I say this again, darn you Butterfly God and you can take your consideration and leave. Okay -- I think I’m done venting. Oh wait, darn you Truck of Doom!!!

June: Exactly!!!! It was like what was the  point  of everything that happened! I felt a little deceived for Deok Hwa and also because he was one of my favorites and I liked seeing his character growth. But I guess we just had to deal with that :( BUT THAT DAMN TRUCK!

Logan: Deok Hwa really got jilted by Goblin. He deserves his own spin off. And the truck scene was made even worse by the fact that the Grim Reaper got there right after it happened, knowing he was likely going to find Eun Tak dead and then seeing him cry. I swear, every time he cried my crying tripled. He really grew to love Eun Tak in his own way too.

Tiara: It’s very Eun Tak to save those kids, but dude this explains a lot about the Truck of Doom. It sucks she isn’t able to live longer, but the drama tried to prepared us for this. I’m with you Logan about Grim Reaper crying. He was affected by Eun Tak’s death just as much as Shin. It just made me sad for Shin to have to wait for Eun Tak’s next life. Deok Hwa doesn’t remember him and Sunny left to live her life. It really was just Grim Reaper and Shin left. I’d hope for some more bonding moment to help me laugh instead of crying the rest of the drama, but sadly it wasn’t in the cards.

June: The whole waiting until the whole next lifetime made me so sad just thinking about it. Like I tried to imagine how it would be if my friends and loved ones didn’t remember me in the next lifetime, I don’t think I would be able to survive. Anytime the Grim Reaper cried, I cried like 10 times more. So much crying in such little time.

Logan: Even the ending left me with some tears. It was very bittersweet. While some people consider it a happy ending, I can’t. Mostly because for me this drama wasn’t only about romance. It was about the relationships between all the character-the sibling and friendship relationships were of equal importance to me. So the fact that all of those were erased and only the two couples were together was disappointing. I mean you can’t get everything you want out of a drama, but it did make me sad.

Tiara: It’s a bittersweet ending. Grim Reaper and Sunny get to live a life together. I liked seeing them be able to love without politics. Eun Tak and Shin’s love life was always going to be a sad love. The drama warned us all when they first met. It’s able loving each other like everyday could be your last. They do get 3 more shots at love and who knows maybe the Butterfly God will be considerate after Eun Tak’s 4th life. Who knows maybe she’s an Angel in disguise?

June: Bittersweet indeed! I would like to think that they end up having a happy life. I was very happy with Grim Reaper and Sunny. In my head, they did get a pretty happy ending. Who knows though, maybe the Butterfly God let our main couple finally have a happy life!

Logan: In my head both couples meet up later on and somehow all remember everything. I feel like they all need each other. And Duk Hwa get reincarnated too and all five of them live as best friends and somehow the Goblin is now longer immortal so they all grow old together. Yep, that’s definitely what happens after the cameras stop rolling.

Don’t forget our next project will be Relive Boys Over Flowers over at Dramafever. Remember to pick up your Bingo Cards too. Logan, June, and myself, Tiara, can’t wait for us to go down memory lane with you all. Until Next Time - Watch more Dramas.
