CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW NIGHT TO COME SO WE CAN WATCH A NEW EPISODE OF GOBLIN!!! But until then, I really love this clip from Episode 7 where Kim Shin goes to the movies with Eun Tak. They are actually watching the movie "Train to Busan", which is the show that the actor Gong Yoo (acting as Kim Shin) stars in. It was a REALLY successful movie. And it is HILARIOUS how Kim Shin gets sooooo scared at "his own" movie. The reference at the end to how the future of Korean film industry is bright is also so amusing.

There was a lot of hype leading up to the premiere of this show because the script writer is known for her great works such as the very recent The Descendants of the Sun. Also, the lead actor in this show, Gong Yoo, is on a popular wave following his successful movie, Train to Busan. He hasn't been in a drama serial for a number of years now, so his return to dramaland is highly anticipated to a much higher degree. The other 3 lead characters in the show are also portrayed by actresses and an actor that I like so I was super keen on watching it once it started airing. And it has been awesome! The first 2 episodes were 90 minutes long (as opposed to the usual 60 minutes), but it did not feel long at all! The 2 lead actors have this love-hate bromance going o...
