A closer look at the story
Kim Shin is a goblin who has lived for 939 years as a guardian of souls. Over that long life he has watched many people he loved die, and he now wants his immortality to end. The only way is to find a human bride who can lift his curse. His centuries-long search takes a new turn when he meets Ji Eun-tak, a bright, spirited student with a sorrowful past. At the same time, he finds himself sharing a house with a grim reaper who has lost his memory. Created by Lee Eung-bok and Kim Eun-sook and broadcast by tvN in 2016 as a 16-episode series, it stars Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun and Lee Dong-wook in a blend of romance, comedy and fantasy.
