doomsdayy replied to your post āThe āromanticā parts/connotations of the Goblin x Eun Tak are kind of...ā
There's no chemistry between them at all, it makes me so mad. He looks like pedo with her. Why on earth Yoo In Na is no paired with him. He is beautiful, she is beautiful. They would be like the most beautiful paring of this year. And they are almost the same age. I waited months for this drama and they kind of ruined it wih that main chick. And I think the romance will start soon, he is already interesting in her.
I think the lack of chemistry for the moment is more because of the age gap and how opposite they are? I think as she grows and hopefully changes their connection will get deeper. Eun Tak is 19. Sheās very loud, boisterous, talkative and wears her heart on her sleeve. Itās a complete contrast to the Goblin who has been living on earth for hundreds of year, and is quite reserved. Also, theyāve only just met. Obviously this is all just my own opinion. Completely understand feeling differently. Sometimes we feel the chemistry, and sometimes we donāt. TBH I wasnāt fond of the actress who is playing Eun Tak because I tried watching Cheese In The Trap (she was the lead there), and I didnāt enjoy the show at all. I couldnāt finish it.Ā
Yoo In Na is absolutely stunning. The thing is even if they are the almost the same age (the actors), she would still have to play 19 year old Eun Tak. So there may have been more chemistry but the age gap still exists. And it would still be the same character we see now just different actor. Chemistry wise though I can see how there could be more there. Maybe. He does look much much older than her so I agree itās a bit weird. But even if they looked closer in age, character-wise itās still a 19 year old weāre talking about. So problematic either way itās spun.Ā
Iām hoping the writer knows what they are doing and that the romance wonāt really start till midway or farther, unless thereās another time jump . Because there has to be a lot more development before that can happen. Iām fine with the joking of her being his bride and romance being brought up if itās not being taken seriously. EG. that hilarious scene where heās barging into the Reapers room asking what looks better on him.Ā
TBH my only problem with Goblin is the age gap. But itās only been two episodes so iām hoping itāll sort itself out. I donāt know if youāve seen I Hear Your Voice. But that age gap made me quite uncomfortable till the very end where thereās an age gap, and serious development. So Iām comfortable giving a show a decent amount of episodes now before I write it off for this reason.Ā
Personally iām loving the show very very much. I love the music, cinematography, premise, plot, and the actors. The way each characters introduced is really intriguing and awesome I felt. I find myself laughing at a lot of it. Were it not for the age gap iād be even more obsessed and in love with it than I currently am. Thatās all thatās stopping me from going all the way.Ā
SORRRRYYYY for rambling. omg. I love you babe hope this doesnāt annoy you HAHA. <3
