Guardian: The
Lonely and great God is a Korean drama. This drama is full of twists and turns.
All characters have a past life and are incarnated and related to Goblin. This drama is very complicated. I will suggest you watch as many hidden characters have superpowers and are incarnated. I will try to give you a
summary but it is very tough to express this drama as it is really beyond our
imagination.
Kim Shin was
a military general during the Goryeo Dynasty who was betrayed by the jealous
king he served. The king killed many armies, Kim Shin’s relatives and also Kim
Shin. He got death instead of honor after fighting a battle. Others soul was
in peace but Kim Shin was punished by God and made him Goblin unless he finds
the prophesized human bride who can set his soul free.

accidentally become roommates. H was actually the king in a past life.
Kim Shin
saved a lady’s life who was pregnant. The baby was Ji Eun Tak. She had a
special power that she could communicate with hosts. She had a mark on her back
as she was the future wife of Goblin. One day, one old lady earlier told her mother
that when she would face a moment at the brink of life and death, she should
pray earnestly and when the time came, her prayer was heard by Goblin and her
saved her.
Eun Tak was
9 years old was her mother died. She had to live with her aunt and cousins. Her
aunt was cruel and tortured her for her mother’s insurance money as she was in
debt.
Kim Shin’s
nephew, Yoo Deok Hwa was a rebellious chaebol (a large family-owned business)
heir whose family has been caretakers of Goblin for many generations. In the
past life, he took care of Goblin after his grandfather’s died.
In 1998, Eun
Tak got 19 years old, she saw Goblin. The ghosts always used to murmur that she
is Goblin’s wife. Whenever she summoned God, Goblin would appear but never told
him that she could see the sword. Like this, they met many times and Goblin
stated to help her too. She got a part-time job in a chicken restaurant where the
owner was Sunny. The restaurant was in a great loss but still, she continued to
work.
Goblin asked
many times that if she could see anything but she said nothing about the sword.
But one day she told him that she could see the sword but never told him.
Goblin used to go to different countries to find his bride but this time he was not
sure that he found but still was unable to go anywhere. Goblin started to like
her and waited for her to call him.
Eun Tak was
homeless as Goblin punished her aunt and her siblings for abusing her and they
sold the house. He gave them two gold plates that belong to the government and
they were so greedy that it took them to the police station. Eun Tak started to
live in Deok Hwa’s house and as per his grandfather’s order, he had to take good
care of her.
After
knowing Eun Tak can see the sword, Goblin was depressed that he would die. He
started to act weird to know that he will die and grim reaper started to act
weird because he started crying by seeing Sunny. He couldn’t understand why he
started crying. Both suffered from depression and insomnia and started to act
strangely.
Sunny was
badly attracted toward the grim reaper, for him it was new. She was beautiful
and he keeps staring at her and couldn’t speak anything. He was tensed and always lost
in her thoughts and keeps on thinking that why did he cry.
After
thinking day and night, Goblin decides to pull the sword out as Eun Tak‘s life
is always in danger because the main reason for her existence was to be Goblin’s
wife and he was delaying. So God appeared and advised him to do it quickly as
if she died, his sword is never be pulled.
Eun Tak was
not aware of what will happen after the sword is out as she thinks he will be in
peace and he will relief from his pain so she always wanted to pull the sword
out. So, she tried to pull out but she failed and Goblin started to think she
is not Goblin’s bride. But after they fell for each other, Eun Tak was able to
hold the sword.
One day,
grim reaper told her what would happen if the sword is out and she got
emotional and left the house. Goblin searched her everywhere but couldn’t find her,
at last, Deok Haw found her. She was back home and they decided to live like
this and whatever happens, she will summon him.
Deok Haw
brought a painting that was given by his grandfather. Grim Reaper and he
decided to take a look before giving it to Goblin. When grim reaper saw the
painting he again started crying. He was in great thought of why he cried by
seeing both of them. He got a link and it would be related to his past and got
to know that the painting was of Goblin’s younger sister Kim Seon.
Grim Reaper
started to seeing Sunny. He was sitting at her restaurant ant Goblin and Eun Tak
also went there. Grim reaper called Sunny with her real name as she told
earlier but he erased her memory that day so, she called him to talk privately
and started questioning him and she held his hand. He could see her past life
and knew Kim Shin’s sister has incarnated as Sunny with a different face.
He told
Goblin and he got emotional and tried to remind her but failed. Grim Reaper
used to go to her restaurant and secretly stare at her and one day he got caught. After
knowing he is a grim reaper she was startled but she still wanted to meet him.
Park
Joong-Heon was the evil teacher who controlled the king Wang Yeo and made him
do all bad deeds. He poisoned all kings before Wang Yeo. He also started to poison
Wang Yeo but he knew what he was making him drink so, he committed suicide by
drinking poison at once as he was guilty and lonely and understood his
mistakes. Before dying he made Kim Seon’s painting which Goblin took
afterward.
He was an evil soul who still wanted their destruction and wanted to kill Goblin. He told
Eun Tak and Goblin that the grim reaper was Wang Yeo. Goblin got angry and left
the house.
Grim reaper
understood that he may be Wang Yeo or Park Joong-Heon and called Eun Tak to
discuss his feelings. At that time he got to know his real identity.
At night, he
called Sunny to meet and wanted to remind her about her past so, he kissed her
and she remembers everything. He tried to erase his memory as a grim reaper and
also bad memories of the king but he failed. She met her brother and he felt sad
that again she fell for that king in this life too.
Park
Joong-Heon, by playing his evil game he saw the mark Eun Tak had at her neck
and she lost the power to see the ghost. So, Park Joong-Heon was about to kill
her but Goblin came and saved her. But he got into her body and wanted to take
out the sword and at that time grim reaper came and shouted the evil’s name and
he had to leave her body.
Goblin took
Eun Tak’s hand and took out his sword and with that sword he killed Park
Joong-Heon. Goblin got peace and God erased everything that was related to
Goblin. Everyone forgot except grim reaper and Sunny.
After 10
years, Goblin was back and met Eun Tak and she could not recognize him. He went
to grim reaper and felt good that he remembered everything. Goblin started
following Eun Tak and they started talking as she liked his company. She went to
Canada where she went with him earlier and got her memory back about Goblin.
Sunny was
happy that Eun Tak remembered everything and she left her place and restaurant.
She wrote a letter to everyone and takes a bid as she cannot stay with the grim
reaper in this life.
Eun Tak and
Goblin married and they again started to live together. But one day, she got
into an accident and died. After some years, Wang Yeo’s punishment got over and
got his last card of Kim Seon. Both went together for their way to the afterlife.
Everyone was
gone except Goblin. He was alone. After 30 years, he got to see her sister
happy with Wang Yeo and was waiting for Eun Tak, and at last, she came and both
met each other happily.
This drama really shows that God exists and everything is fate.
