GUARDIAN : THE LONELY AND GREAT GOD 16ep X 60mins

A fabled "goblin (guardian)" attempts to end his life by marrying a 'goblin bride', but things get complicated when he actually falls for her.

Goblins are always whom we fear. Surely not this time. Goblin living in Seoul in 2016 is the sexiest chick magnet. More than a hundred years old in reality, he hangs out with the young. But not many people know that he is hollow inside. He has been searching for the ‘goblin bride’ for decades, but she is no where to be found. Then one day, he keeps getting summoned by Eun-tak. There, he sees the Reaper, not knowing that they are to become roommates. That’s where the story begins. A Goblin, trying to protect a girl who should have been dead a long time ago. A Reaper, desperately wanting to take the girl to complete his task.
