tVN drama Goblin scores 15% highest ratings ever.

Cable channel tVN currently airing the hit drama 'Goblin' is seriously continuing to enjoy massive popularity with 15% viewers ratings. 

According to Nielsen Korea on 8th January, episode 12 was aired on the previous day recorded the nationwide average audience rating of 14.9% (based on paid platform). On the 6th January, episode 11 scored 15.0% in viewers ratings.


'Goblin' has proved to be the most challenging tVN dramas. In January of last year, 'Reply 1988' - episode 20 scored 18.8% viewers ratings, which showed the highest ratings of all times. The drama was originally scheduled for 16 episodes, is expected to reveal the relationship between the characters that were hidden from the 11th episode, and the ratings continued to rise further as the conflict grows deeper.

Since Goblin is a romantic-comedy fantasy drama (written by Kim Eun Sook) focused on an immortal warrior Kim Shin in search for a human bride to end his life. And the goblin didn't expect his biggest nemesis Wang Seo would be the grim reaper staying by his side all the time. 

And of course, we as audience saw it coming the time when Sunny had the jade ring with her hinting to us that she is Kim Sun- the reincarnation of Kim Shin's sister who also happens to be the Queen. Not forgetting, we would love to hit or kill that evil Park Joong Won's wandering evil ghost who is making life miserable for all. 

And what I don't understand slightly is the almighty (God) who is manifesting from himself and entering into Deok Hwa's body from time to time. What is almighty trying to do?
He wants Kim Shin dead yet he brings around the ill-fated relationship into the same house?

The drama has also boasts plenty of interesting music from its original OST with artists lending their voices such as EXO's Chanyeol, Punch, Ailee, Crush, Eddy Kim, Sam Kim and Urban Zakapa.
