According to Nielsen Korea on the 18th December,the cable TV channel tVN drama 'Goblin', which was broadcast on the previous day, recorded the nationwide average ratings of 12.9% (based on paid platforms) . At the moment, the highest audience rating was 14.0%.
The popularity of 'Goblin' is the steepest among the dramas aired previously on paid cable channels. On October 2nd, 'Goblin' started off with ratings of 6.6% on its first episode and slowly exceeded the 10% audience ratings only by broadcasting 3 times. The cable channel drama's highest audience rating, 'Reply 1988', has exceeded the 7th rating 10% and 10 times 12%.
Goblin is a romantic comedy drama which is written by star writer Kim Eun Sook whose works were hit dramas. She wrote Descendants of the Sun which took 38.8% ratings, Secret Garden 35.2%, The Heirs 25.6%, Gentlemen of Dignity 24.4%, On Air 26.2% and Lovers in Paris 57.6%. Her works have been major hits among audience.
Goblin has probably attracted the vast audience due to the A-List stars including Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Yoo In Na and BTOB's Yook Sung Jae.
On the 6th episode, it has shown the audience the romantic relationship between the goblin Kim Shin and the high school student Ji Eun Tak (played by Kim Go Eun).
And to be honest, I don't fancy Kim Go Eun's acting skills and find her a bit out of place in this drama. The main lead seems to be rather lost and annoying at times...I in fact was looking forward for all the scenes between the Grim Reaper and Sunny. Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na kept me going with the drama.
The 2nd couple is my bias...No doubt I love Gong Yoo's acting but it seems he should be paired with a better actress.
