Suave y sad.

Mass is not proportional to its volume. A girl, as small as a violet. A girl who moves like a flower petal is pulling me toward her with more force than her mass. Just then, like Newton’s apple, I rolled toward her without stopping until I fell on her, with a thump. With a thump, my heart keeps bouncing between the sky and the ground. It was my  f i r s t  l o v e.

Bad liars

Conozco muy bien a mis papás, a pesar de no haber pasado mucho tiempo con cada uno. Sé cuando están mintiendo o me dicen una verdad a medias, y eso que no me están hablando, solo son textos. Guess they’re bad liars.

Souls

“Humans have four lives: a life of planting seeds, a life of watering the seeds, a life of harvesting and a life of cherishing the harvests”

Done with my 2nd K Drama :)

I watched Goblin: The great and lonely god and I already feel like it is one of the best (if not the best) K Drama ever. Everything in it is perfect — from the screenplay, cinematography, acting, musical score….everything! 

I’m not really fond of fantasy genre but Goblin changed my mind. I really love the way the story unfold and each episode had me on the edge of my seat. I guess this is the first ever TV series that made me laugh a lot and at the same time cry a lot. Goblin, for me, is more than just a TV show as it left me life lessons I didn’t expect to learn when I decided to watch it.

Anyway, let me just tell you what Goblin is all about:

The story is all about a General from the Goryeo era, Kim Shin, who became a dokkaebi (immortal goblin) as a punishment; a sword was pierced on his chest and the only way for his immortality to end is for his bride to remove the sword from his chest. He also became a protector of souls however he is not allowed to meddle with the life and death of mortals. For almost 900 years, he lives his life trying to find the bride who can end his curse. One night, he decided to meddle with the mortal’s life by granting the wish of a dying pregnant woman, allowing her and her baby to be given another chance at life. Because of what he did, the baby was marked to become the Goblin’s bride. Years later, that baby grew up to be a bubbly person despite the hardships in life; she’s Ji Eun Tak. She can also see ghosts and talk to them. On her 19th birthday, she summoned the Goblin and from then on he became her guardian. Deok Hwa, goblin’s ‘nephew’ decided to rent out a room from the Goblin’s mansion to a guy whom later was known as Grim Reaper. That Grim Reaper has no memory of his past life. Also, he was the grim reaper who was supposed to pick up Eun Tak and her mother if the Goblin didn’t meddle. Since Eun Tak is considered a missing soul, she has to do her purpose, ending the Goblin’s immortality, because otherwise, she has to die. As days passed by, the Goblin started to have feelings for her; the Grim Reaper and Eun Tak also developed a friendship. Goblin and Grim Reaper works side by side in order to keep her alive. But as days passed by and Eun Tak still has not served her purpose as the Goblin’s bride, death will keep on coming her way.

I don’t know if I’ve summarized the plot properly (I don’t want to give way too many details because I don’t want to spoil the people who would read this blog post and haven’t watched the Goblin yet) but that’s basically what this K Drama is all about. As I’ve mentioned earlier, I considered this drama as perfect because all the elements are great and were perfectly combined together. Screenplay’s the best! The cinematography is really beautiful. It matches each scene perfectly. Sometimes I feel like I’m looking at beautiful moving paintings while watching the show. The acting’s superb; the cast gave life to their characters perfectly. The musical scoring too was amazing! Each songs used perfectly describe the emotions of each scene (My personal favorites are Heaven, I will go to you like the first snow, Stay with me, I miss you and Beautiful. I can’t even choose one!) Goblin really is one of the best K Dramas out there and I will never get tired of watching it again and again.

What I would like to discuss more in this blog post though is how I can relate to each of the main characters whom I considered as wandering souls, like me.

Goblin/Dokkaebi/Kim Shin. This would be sad though. I can relate to him because he spent most years of his life fighting. During his mortal life, he’s a great general of the Goryeo era that’s basically who he is his entire mortal life. He keeps on fighting. In this life that I have, I also keep on fighting like Kim shin however, what I’m fighting for is my chance at happiness and unlike Kim Shin I’m always the loser. I’ve never won a war. His immortal life began and this time it’s not about fighting anymore, it’s about searching. As a Goblin, he considered his immortality a curse since when all the people he cares has passed, he will be left alone and such process will just keep on repeating. He keeps on searching for the bride that would be the answer to his lifelong agony. Like him, I’m also at this certain point in life where I’m searching for answers. I’m searching for my purpose in this world (that is if I even have one). I’m also searching for that something (or even someone) that would help me end my misery.

Grim Reaper. I’ve been thinking how I can relate to this guy considering that we basically are different. Unlike with other characters when it is easier to point out how I can relate, with Grim Reaper I had a hard time but I know that it’s with him that I can feel comfortable being sad. But I guess our common denominator is that we’re both oblivious to the cause of our suffering. Grim Reapers are amnesiac; they have no memory of their past lives as a form of punishment yet they have to live as a “human” – they need to have a house, they need an identity (they have to make up, of course) and they need to eat. However, when he met Sunny, he just felt some kind of pain in his heart (he cried the first time they met!) and it is really confusing and painful having to feel that and yet you have no idea why you’re feeling it. That’s how I can relate to him; I have no idea why I’m always sad…I’m oblivious to the reasons why I’m suffering. And like Grim Reaper, it really frustrates me that I am feeling all these sad emotions and yet I have no idea why. We’re both trying to find out what sins we’ve committed for us to suffer this much.

Eun Tak. When you’ve been through so much hardships in life that sometimes all you gotta do is put on a smile and just face the day (because really, do you even have a choice?) even though your heart is breaking….that’s how I can relate to her. She remained cheerful and optimistic despite all the pain she’ve been through….But even the strongest person has to fall down sometimes and when you feel like everything else seems to go against you that’s when you will become desperate and would wish that somehow in some ways, you could still be saved. And when you find out that something/someone, you hold on to that. Like Eun Tak, I’ve been through a lot of hardships too, and most of the time my defense mechanism became faking my happiness; fake it till you make it.

Sunny. She’s the owner of the chicken restaurant where Eun Tak works. I can relate to her in a way that I’m also in this moment in life when I’m looking for love. On her part, I guess she’s looking for the romantic kind of love, while me on the other hand, I’m just looking for love itself. I just have this strange feeling that I’ve always been deprived of it.

Deok Hwa. Oh, the only real and normally functioning human in this K Drama! (that is until episode 12 LOL). As mentioned earlier, he is the “nephew” of Goblin. Basically, I can relate to Deok Hwa in the sense of “immaturity” Like Deok Hwa, being a young adult sometimes feel scary to the point that you would rather just be carefree. There also moments in my life that I’m being Deok Hwa, who only cares about myself. However, like Deok Hwa, I’m also doing the best that I could in order to grow up and become mature enough to handle the challenges that the world has to offer. Deok Hwa’s my favorite even though he’s a supporting character for he somehow represents some people of my generation (especially me). And although he’s the one who didn’t get a proper closure in the end (SPOILER ALERT!) I really do hope he became happy with his true love: his credit card (LOL, jk).

I really took Goblin in a personal level, right? I just feel so attached to this drama and its characters!

PS, I’ll write two more blog posts about Goblin. The second one is about the life lessons I’ve learned and the third and final one would focus on my thoughts about episode 12.

“Now that I think about it, it was a perfect day. As soon as I woke up, I was in his arms. The fried eggs I made was perfect. And the broadcast today ended perfectly without a hitch. I think all the perfectness of today was to bring me to this moment right now. So that I wouldn’t be late for it.”
