God and the Goblin had already been generating buzz well before it officially aired.

Not only was it Kang Seon-woo’s long-awaited coback after a lengthy hiatus, but it also marked a reunion with Ha-eun, who had cented herself as a ten-million-ticket actress with Veterans.

These two headlines combined to break 20% in viewer ratings during its premiere.

So skeptics chalked it up to temporary hype—but that couldn’t explain the consistently climbing ratings each week.

Now, with the 14th episode airing, the show was on the brink of achieving an average viewer rating of 40%.

And with its popularity exploding globally, God and the Goblin had beco a truly unstoppable phenonon.

No one understood this better than OTV’s drama departnt—and its executives.

“Has Lee Ha-eun arrived safely in Japan?”

“Yes. She’s resting comfortably at the hotel.”

“Please remind her to take care of her condition. We don’t want her getting worn out from her personal schedule.”

God and the Goblin wasn’t just a “promising” drama.

It was a drama the network had to push.

Even when compared to terrestrial dramas beyond its cable competition, it had no serious rival—an extrely rare case.

This was why the network had greenlit international promotions.

With Japan showing the strongest reaction after Korea, they aid to sustain the fervor all the way to the finale.

“I heard Kang Seon-woo is fairly fluent in Japanese?”

“Yes, and Lee Ha-eun has also been learning. She’s reportedly conversational now.”

“Oh? That’s good news.”

Scheduled just days before the final episode:

An appearance on NBH, Japan’s largest broadcaster.

A fan eting in a 10,000-seat venue.

The goal was clear: keep the flas of God and the Goblin burning until the very end.

The drama stood shoulder-to-shoulder with legendary titles from the early days of the Korean Wave—

series that once caused an entire country to buzz with excitent.

That alone proved its cultural impact.

Everyone at OTV was behind it, united in one mission.

“What do you think Kang Seon-woo and Lee Ha-eun will work on next?”

“Kang Seon-woo hasn’t decided, but... as for Ha-eun, probably a film. I hear she’s already filming it.”

What made God and the Goblin truly beloved was the performances.

The leads’ raw, emotional acting was the driving force behind its success.

Naturally, all attention turned toward them—especially with the story entering its endga.

The final arc between Baek Jin and Baeksulhwa was, in and of itself, the climax.

So, when all eyes were glued to God and the Goblin—

“...Baek Jin.”

“White ‘baek’... forward ‘jin’...”

A trembling voice whispered the na, syllable by syllable.

Not with hope. Not with affection. But with the desperate longing to hold on.

“You said you'd co whenever I called. You told to call you loudly—loud enough for you to hear...”

Then, a pause. A breath caught in her throat.

Her lips dried out, so she pressed them tightly together to avoid breaking down mid-sentence.

“I’m not letting you go. I can’t. You always decide everything on your own and end it all yourself—how can I let you go like that?”

Her legs gave way, and she collapsed.

A fragile figure, consud by emotion.

And all of it—just through acting—drew viewers so deeply into Baeksulhwa’s pain.

“If you die, then I die. I can’t live without you. How am I supposed to go on without you?!”

A scream—not of anger, but of sheer grief.

But the only reply was the flickering streetlamp down a deserted road.

“I love you... please... don’t go...”

Shoulders trembling under the crushing silence,

tears rising from the very bottom of her heart.

To Baeksulhwa, Baek Jin had beco her happiness.

And now that happiness was preparing to die.

- She’s crying like a little kid... that’s what makes it worse

-What’s going to happen to Sulhwa 😭

- Is Baek Jin’s hobby just dying or what
