Guardian: The Lonely and Great God - Series Review [ENG/ESP]

English

Another hilarious series, I guess I'm getting addicted to seeing kdramas with the genre, Romance and comedy. I've actually seen this series years ago but recent short videos of some scenes from the series on Tiktok got me interested and wishing to see it all over again.

I'm also a huge fan of the male lead and I'm yet to find more series he starred in so I decided to see this series again. As expected, it felt like I was seeing the series for the first time.

"Guardian: The Lonely And Great God" is a 16 episodes of Korean series in the genre "Fantasy, Romance & Comedy". The series is mainly about a human turn god for his past deeds and have to live an immortal life until he meets a bribe who would kill him. The series shows a Grim reaper, a girl who sees ghosts and gave a lot about reincarnations.

I would go in more detail thoughts about the series from my point of view using the main characters who made it memorable to see.

The male lead (Goblin) who is the great and lonely god himself in the storyline. He was a general in his first life as a human but was betrayed and made to commit a crime that made the heavens punish and bless him at once with an immortal life.

He had to live a long life as a blessing but watch his dear ones die as a punishment until he met the Goblin's bride (the female lead). His role in the story is super hilarious especially when he's with his bride and house mates.

The female lead (Goblin's bride) is a lady who was not supposed to be born as her mother almost died in a hit and run accident. The Goblin saved her that day without the knowledge of the baby in her womb. The lady grew up without her mother and suffered in the hands of her aunt and cousins but her life changes when she met the Goblin.

Her role in the story is cool too but I wouldn't rate her higher than the other two main leads because I feel she could have done better with her acting. She is a funny character too though.

The supporting character (Grim Reaper) is my favourite in this series after the main lead. He is made a Grim Reaper because of a past sin he committed but everything unfolds when he began to live with a Goblin under a house contract. They went from haters to good friend before the truth about their true identity came up.

The role of the Grim reaper in the story is not just fascinating, I like how hilarious and entertaining it made the series be for the viewers. His role is a funny one too, the series is more of comedy and fantasy if I should add.

I had to share this picture to add that it is hilarious how the Goblin's bride could see this on the chest of the Goblin and still fall in love with him 😂 I know it's all just an act but I think it went overboard there.

Regardless of that, it was very much worth my time on it considering that I've seen it before but still find it interesting to see again. I'll leave you with these questions regarding the series.

Did the Goblin become a mortal again? Was the Goblin's bride able to fulfil her duties? What sin did the Grim reaper commited? All of these questions should get you curious about the series. I'll recommend it with a rating of 8/10.

Otra serie divertidísima, supongo que me estoy volviendo adicto a ver kdramas con el género Romance y comedia. De hecho, vi esta serie hace años, pero videos cortos recientes de algunas escenas de la serie en Tiktok me interesaron y desearon verla de nuevo.

También soy un gran admirador del protagonista masculino y todavía tengo que encontrar más series que protagonizó, así que decidí ver esta serie nuevamente. Como era de esperar, sentí que estaba viendo la serie por primera vez.

"Guardian: The Lonely And Great God" es una serie coreana de 16 episodios del género "Fantasía, romance y comedia". La serie trata principalmente sobre un humano que se convierte en dios por sus actos pasados y tiene que vivir una vida inmortal hasta que encuentra un soborno que lo mataría. La serie muestra a una Grim Reaper, una chica que ve fantasmas y da mucho sobre las reencarnaciones.

Hablaría con más detalle sobre la serie desde mi punto de vista utilizando los personajes principales que la hicieron memorable de ver.

El protagonista masculino (Goblin), que es el dios grande y solitario de la historia. Fue un general en su primera vida como humano, pero fue traicionado y obligado a cometer un crimen que hizo que los cielos lo castigaran y lo bendijeran de inmediato con una vida inmortal.

Tuvo que vivir una larga vida como una bendición, pero ver morir a sus seres queridos como un castigo hasta que conoció a la novia del Duende (la protagonista femenina). Su papel en la historia es muy divertido, especialmente cuando está con su novia y sus compañeros de casa.

IMG_20230913_194500.jpg

La protagonista femenina (la novia de Goblin) es una dama que se suponía que no debía nacer ya que su madre casi muere en un accidente de atropello y fuga. El Duende la salvó ese día sin que el bebé que llevaba en su vientre lo supiera. La dama creció sin su madre y sufrió en manos de su tía y sus primos pero su vida cambia cuando conoce al Duende.

Su papel en la historia también es genial, pero no la calificaría mejor que los otros dos protagonistas principales porque creo que podría haberlo hecho mejor con su actuación. Aunque ella también es un personaje divertido.

IMG_20230913_194003.jpg

El personaje secundario (Grim Reaper) es mi favorito en esta serie después del protagonista principal. Se convierte en Grim Reaper debido a un pecado pasado que cometió, pero todo se desarrolla cuando comenzó a vivir con un Goblin bajo un contrato de casa. Pasaron de odiar a buenos amigos antes de que saliera a la luz la verdad sobre su verdadera identidad.

El papel de la Parca en la historia no sólo es fascinante, sino que también me gusta lo divertida y entretenida que hizo que la serie fuera para los espectadores. Su papel también es divertido, la serie es más de comedia y fantasía si debo agregar.

IMG_20230913_194429.jpg

Tuve que compartir esta imagen para agregar que es gracioso cómo la novia del Duende pudo ver esto en el pecho del Duende y aun así enamorarse de él 😂 Sé que todo es solo un acto, pero creo que se pasó de la raya.

Independientemente de eso, valió la pena dedicarle tiempo considerando que lo he visto antes pero aún me resulta interesante verlo nuevamente. Los dejo con estas preguntas sobre la serie.

¿El Duende volvió a convertirse en mortal? ¿Pudo la novia del Duende cumplir con sus deberes? ¿Qué pecado cometió la Parca? Todas estas preguntas deberían despertar tu curiosidad sobre la serie. Lo recomendaré con una calificación de 8/10.

I thought Globin is the name of the movie.
I am a huge fan of Kdramas and I doubt there are many interesting series I haven't seen or come across.
The whole scene of this movie is still very much fresh and I did like the twist, the suspense, and every plot in the movie.
It was definitely a worthy watch!

For K Drama lovers it sure is a great series. I tried to watch two K Dramas a while back and just couldn't. They just failed to get me hooked. But I always take note of K drama reviews to recommend it to people who like this genre.

For some reason, I feel interested in this series. Perhaps I am curious above this while god thing pans out, and with the goblin's wife seeing things. But then again, I may just forget about it. I have been considering Korean films lately, though.
