“Goblin The Lonely And Great God” Korean Drama Quotes
“Goblin” is a 2016-2017 South Korean fantasy romance drama written by Kim Eun-sook. It stars Gong Yoo as Kim Shin, a 939-year-old immortal goblin cursed with eternal life after dying a tragic death as a military general in the Goryeo era. He lives in modern-day Korea, awaiting his “bride” — the only one who can see and pull the sword from his chest, thereby ending his immortality.
He eventually meets Ji Eun-tak (played by Kim Go-eun), a cheerful and resilient high school girl who claims to be the Goblin’s bride. Alongside them is the Grim Reaper (played by Lee Dong-wook), who has no memory of his past but forms an unexpected bond with Kim Shin and falls for Sunny (Yoo In-na), Eun-tak’s boss and a woman linked to his forgotten past.
As their fates intertwine across centuries and lifetimes, the drama explores themes of life, death, love, redemption, and destiny.

“I don’t look up to the sky to see the stars anymore, why should I? I can just look at your eyes.”
“Mass isn’t proportional to volume. A girl as small as a violet, a girl who moves like a flower petal – is pulling me toward her with more force than her mass. Just then, like Newton’s apple, I rolled toward her without stopping until I fell on her with a thump. My heart keeps bouncing between the sky and the ground. It was my first love.”
– Kim Shin from Kim In Yook’s The Physics of Love

An object needn’t be large to hold great mass.
That girl, as tiny as a violet.
That girl, drifting in the sky like the petals of a flower draws me to her with a force greater than the one exerted by the earth.
In a single moment, I fell and rolled toward her without a rhyme or reason, just as Newton’s apple did.
With a thump. With a thump-thump. My heart bounced from the heavens to the earth in a dizzying pendular motion.
Such was the moment I’d first fallen in love.”
“Life is a momentary thing. You come & you go.”
– Ji Eun Tak
“Every moment I spent with you shined. Because the weather was good, because the weather was bad and because the weather was good enough. I loved every moment of it.”

“If you two had been fated to pass each other by, you would’ve done so. And if you two had been fated to meet, you two would’ve met.”
“Everyone is born with their own dictionary.
– Ji Eun Tak
In my dictionary, no matter how you flip through it,
there’s no sign of the words like ‘happiness’ or ‘luck’ at all.”
“Above all, every human dies.
– Ji Eun Tak
That’s why life is beautiful.”
You said to remember only my happy moments, but you said to forget you.
– Sunny
That’s a contradiction.
Every moment that you were in, Even all the sadness and hardship.
All of it made me happy.
Some day, we’ll meet again. It’ll be the happiest day.
– Ji Eun Tak
I will go to you like the first snow.
