GOBLIN (played by Gong Yoo)

Having been around this world for a hundred years, Goblin is getting tired of living. Everything seems to flow the same. The ‘Goblin Bride’, who is the only one who can help him this tedious life, cannot be seen anywhere. But don’t-know-from-when, he keeps getting called from a girl. Euntak just turned 19. Why does a baby like her bother him so much? But wait… She sees the sword that pieced though his heart. How can she..?

EUNTAK (played by Kim Go Eun)

Supposed to have been dead a long time ago, Euntak has been hiding away from the reaper for 10 years now. From an early age, she was able to see the dead, allowing her to run away from the reaper when she had the chance. Always positive and confident, she is brave in any situation. Brave enough to live with Goblin, whose roommate is the reaper.

REAPER (played by Lee Dong Wook)

Very diligent and man of principle, the reaper wants to take away Euntak, or rather needs to take her as it’s his duty. After Euntak moved to a new place, he was in constant search for her. When they finally came face to face, he couldn’t do anything to her as Goblin was her protector. Seeking for chances, he starts living with Goblin. Then one day, he encounters Sunny. He seems to have a dim recollection of her.

SUNNY (played by Yoo In Na)

Sunny is extremely attractive to all men. And she definitely knows too well and is used to using it to her advantage. Encountering the reaper on a street, she notices that he is pretty naïve. He even had that look in his eyes. Not knowing how much the reaper has missed her, she meets him again in a café. Will their relationship continue?
