Korean drama fever is set to hit a
new high when the widely anticipated new series, Goblin premieres on Saturday, December 3 at 7pm. Available within 24-hours of Korean
telecast on Oh!K (Astro Channel 394),
the show boasts a star-studded cast including Gong-Yoo (Train To Busan), Lee Dong Wook (Hotel
King), Yoo In Na and Kim Go Eun, who recently won Best New TV Actress at the Paeksang Arts Awards.
Written by Kim Eun Sook and
directed by Lee Eung Bok, the masterminds behind the highly acclaimed Descendants of the Sun, Goblin promises K-drama fans a thrilling
romantic drama that is set in a fantasy world of today’s time.
The storyline follows the Goblin
(Gong Yoo), a handsome centenarian who is tired of his immortality. The only
way to end his life is to find a ‘goblin bride’, thus bringing his search to
Euntak (Kim Go Eun) whom he falls passionately in love with. Their love story,
like any great one, is woeful when it is revealed that Euntak is actually on the run from the Angel of Death, the Reaper
(Lee Dong Wook). The latter, tasked with killing Euntak, later meets Sunny (Yoo
In Na) a beautiful woman and develops feelings for her. The plot thickens when
viewers find that Goblin and Reaper are actually roommates, plunging them into
a complicated pit as they wrestle with their emotions and duties.
Oh!K will also launch a dedicated
microsite (www.ohk-tv.com/Goblin) on December 1, where fans can participate in an interactive personality quiz to find
out if they are a Goblin or a Reaper, create their own photo-frame featuring
both male leads and join in on a hashtag voting system where they can root for
their favourite hero – #TeamGongYoo or #TeamLeeDongWook!
On the channel itself, Oh!K will also
host a watch and win campaign. Those who tune in each week to the latest
episodes and capture the unique on-air codes stand a chance to win limited-edition
life-sized pillows of Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. All submissions will be

of Goblin on Oh!K (Astro Channel 394), within 24 hours of Korea, on Saturday, December 3 at 7pm. Brand new episodes will air every Saturday
