Production[edit]
Lee, Gong and Kim at the drama's press conference, November 2016
The series was written by Kim Eun-sook, who also wrote the popular
series Secret Garden (2010), The Heirs (2013) and Descendants of the
Sun (2016). The drama marked her second collaboration with director Lee
Eun-bok after both worked on Descendants.[19][20]
The first script-reading was held at Nuri Dream Square in Sangam-
dong, Seoul, South Korea, on 30 August 2016.[21] The Goryeo-era flashback
scenes were filmed on Gimje, North Jeolla Province in September 22[22][23] for
the battlefield scenes, while the palace scenes were shot at Naju Image
Theme Park.[24] Goblin and Grim Reaper's house (external shots) was filmed
at (formerly) Unhyeongung's Western House,[25] presently inside Duksung
Women's University (utilized for administration offices).[26]
Overseas filming mainly took place in Quebec City, Canada in
October,[27] featuring locations such as the Château Frontenac, Parc du
Bastion-de-la-Reine (the Yoo family cemetery), Petit Champlain (Goblin's
door to Canada), and the Fontaine de Tourny.[28][29] The red door, which in
reality is the emergency exit of the Théâtre Petit Champlain (fr), and other
sites in Quebec City associated with the show have begun to attract
numerous fans of the series.[30][31]
The crew was awarded a special vacation to Phuket, Thailand after the end
of the drama.[32]

There was a controversy surrounding the release of the song “Round and
Round”. Originally, the song was sung by Han Soo-ji. However, when the
song was officially released, Han was merely a featuring on the track, which
was sung by Heize. This caused dissatisfaction among fans, who loved
Han's voice. CJ E&M released an official apology, saying that Han was
enlisted to record just the first 50 seconds of the song, but the writer of the
song, Nam Hye-seung, requested since the beginning that the full song be
sung by another vocalist.[38]

Reception[edit]
The drama was a hit and consistently topped cable television viewership
ratings in its timeslot. Its final episode recorded an 18.680% nationwide
audience share according to Nielsen paid platform, making the episode the
second highest rated in Korean cable television history.[7] It became the first
cable drama to surpass 20% ratings.[56][57] It was also popular among the
international audience,[58] which led to parodies of the drama on various
social media sites, notably by both celebrities and political figures.[59]
The drama has also sparked various fashion trends.[60][61] Items and
accessories worn by the cast members, such as the Lavin coat worn by
Gong Yoo, Lancôme lipstick used by Kim Go-eun[62] and Fedora worn by Lee
Dong-wook[63] saw an increase in sales. Kim In-yook's poetry book, The
Physics of Love, gained renewed attention after one of its verses was
featured in the drama.[64] There was also an increase in visitors at the
various filming sites of Guardian, which contributed to a positive economic
effect on the country.[65]Additionally, original soundtracks featured in the
series also topped local digital music charts.[66][67] Since 2017, it has
surpassed Descendants of the Sun (2016) in video-on-demand sales.[68][69]
Its success was attributed to the creative plot.[70] The Korea Times stated,
"...the depth of perspective looking at life of the goblin that bears a bloody
sword in his chest and has been given eternal life as punishment, immerses
the audience into the fantasy story. The twist and complexity of life and
death make the story more interesting."[71]
Despite its success, Guardian was criticized for its several consumer
product placements (as well as Kim Eun-sook's previous hit-
drama Descendants of the Sun in 2016)[72][73]which drew an estimated 2-4
billion KRW from revenue.[74][75][76] TV and cultural critics also criticized
various aspects of the drama, such as its strong emphasis on Cinderella
complex and the huge age gap of the lead characters, which might lead to a
decline in female's social status.[74] It was also criticized for its over-dramatic
plot.[75]
