A goblin Ban Sook played by Bae In-hyuk has lived for 160 years and longs to be human and is told by the goblin queen he must kiss 10 humans and each time he will gain a human emotion. This is going well until he kisses a friend of a student oh Yeon Ah (Jeon Hye-won) who punches him as she has seen him kissing another girl. This begins a link between the two which grows stronger particularly as there is an exorcist hunting goblins who interact with humans. It is a short series consisting of 12 episodes of around 12 minutes each, so can be easily binge watched. Excellent acting and an uplifting lighthearted story which is difficult not to enjoy.

Warning: Spoilers
9/10 is my rating. This is a 2020 South Korean Supernatural Fantasy Romance drama with 12,12 minute,episodes. Also known under the title "Kiss Ghost."
Ban Sook (Bae In Hyuk) is a 160 year old Goblin who has gotten lonely and wishes to be human. The Goblin Queen stipulates in order to be human he must kiss 10 humans of her choice. Sounds easy he thinks after all his good looks and Goblin magic making kissing the girls easy. What he does not realize is the Goblin Queen carefully chose each woman based on her predominant emotion and that Ban Sook would take on these emotions after each kiss. In the course of his missions he runs across Oh Yeon Ah (Jeon Hye Won) who sees him kiss her friend and another girl and thinks he is a player. She is jaded as she has been cheated on so finds Ban Sook's behavior particularly offensive. Circumstances make it so she helps him guarding him from an exorcist determined to kill him. Will dislike lead to like lead to love?
What does the Goblin Queen have in store for him?
*spoilers. I liked this a lot just wished it was longer. On the other hand if you are coming off a long, heavy drama this could be just the short yet fluffy drama you need to recharge. Bae In Hyuk is gorgeous so watching him is worth it in any case. The plot line is interesting and they do a good job with it despite the brevity.
