What happens when two beautiful and powerful gods ─ the Goblin (Gong Yoo) and the Grim Reaper (Lee Dong Wook) – re forced to live together in the same house? Ego wars, fights, death threats, smashed plates, extreme weather disruptions… and a helluva lot of bromance.
Let’s face it. As much as the main loveline between the Goblin and his bride (Kim Go Eun) is cute, the best part about the show is the luuurve between the frenemies – heir immature cutlery swordplay, their petty one-upmanship antics, those hilarious moments of self-absorbed melodrama, their grudging affection and concern for one another, and the way they always band together to save Eun-tak. Of course, their fashion-savviness is another mega bonus.
