Crash Landing on You vs Goblin: which is the greatest K-drama ever made?
Two giants. One a star-crossed cross-border romance, the other a sweeping immortal fantasy. Only one can wear the crown. Choose.

Add your commentGoblin walked so every fantasy K-drama could run. The cinematography alone makes CLOY look like a home video. Crown stays north.
Both perfect. This thread is just people picking which masterpiece hurt them more. Beautiful suffering.
CLOY's village side characters are the best supporting cast in any drama ever and that's why it wins. It's not just the leads.
Goblin's soundtrack is in my funeral playlist. CLOY's is in my wedding playlist. Both ruined me in different ways.
Hyun Bin in both 'Memories of the Alhambra' AND CLOY proves the man cannot miss. CLOY takes it.
The CLOY ending actually satisfied me. Goblin's ending left me staring at a wall for three days. Depends if you want closure or trauma.
CLOY did the impossible — made a North/South romance feel tender instead of political. That's craft people underrate.
I rewatch CLOY yearly and Goblin once a decade because Goblin breaks me too thoroughly. Tells you which one's 'better' and which is 'safer'.
Comparing these two is like comparing a sunset to the ocean. But if you put a knife to my throat: Goblin. Always Goblin.
Nobody's mentioning that Goblin's grim reaper subplot is better than most shows' MAIN plots. That depth wins it.
Gong Yoo in that red scarf single-handedly raised the global GDP of swooning. Goblin, no contest.
CLOY made an entire generation cry over a man who memorized her perfume and kept the candy. No fantasy gimmick, just devastating romance.
Is it wrong to choose not to have children just because you don't want to?
