Contemporary TV Series: The Goblin
In today blog I will be writing about a contemporary TV Series describing about the use and development of character in relation to the narrative of the series. My chosen TV Series for today blog is a South Korean TV Series call Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, but mostly knowing in Asia as the Goblin.
This TV Series is one of the best of South Korean TV Series, were staring by Gong Yoo as a Goblin or Kim Shin, Kim Go-eun as Ji Eun-tak, Lee Dong Wook as Wang Yeo or the unnamed grim reaper, Yoo In-na as Kim Sun or Sunny together with Yook Sungjae as Yoo Deok-hwa. The Goblin is TV Series that running with 5 main difference character that very important to the narrative and stories of the series. In the Goblin we have 5 main character but only 4 of them that their character are developed throughout the series, which is the character of Kim shin or Goblin, Unnamed grim reaper, Sunny and Ji Eun-tak, but in today blog am not going to talk on all 4 character on how each of them develop throughout the series. I will pick just one character to talk about in this blog post.
The character that am chosen to talk about in this blog post is the character of Kim Shin or the Goblin that staring by Gong Yoo. The narrative of Kim shin is developed along with the development of the series, at the beginning of the series we don’t know much about the Goblin not even his real name. At the beginning his narrative only informing an audience with a basic information of him, such as the Goblin he used to be an army general back in history of Korean, he was executed by the king because he was slandered. Kim Shin has begging to the god for a revenge on the king, god has agreed to him, but in order to get a revenge he has live in an immortal life that will not end until he found the legendary Goblin’s bride that could end his life.
Throughout the time in story the character of Kim Shin has developed his emotion from a character that don’t care about anything into a character that thinking of another person. The narrative of Kim Shin has since he meets with Ji Eun-tak a young high school girl who could be a legendary Goblin’s bride. After both characters were met, we can the development in the character of Kim Shin such he doesn’t want to die any more and he is falling in love with Ji Eun-tak.
The expansion of time in this story has serving the character of Kim Shin in allowing his character to develop from a character who want to end his own life and a cold blood into a character that more caring about other and learn to live with other people. Time is very important to this character, because this character is a character that must use time in development due to this character have to be mysterious both for us the audience and other character in the series.
