Coming to OST, all soundtracks are very catchy and perfectly placed.
Kim Go-eun as Kim Yumi, illustrates her character so perfectly that it will make you think about yourself, your own emotions. Goblin actress nailed her portrayal and won everyone’s heart with her versatility for sure!
Ahn Bo-hyun as Goo Woong did a very good job portraying Woong. At first, I couldn’t recognize him such a drastic change he did in his looks, way of talking and everything Kudos to “My Name” actor.
Another characters worth mentioning are Jinyoung as Yoo Ba-bi/Bobby Yumi’s colleague and Park Ji-hyun as Seo Sae-yi, Goo Woong’s colleague both nailed their character. Though Jinyoung as Yoo Ba-bi/Bobby little presence on screen won our heart with his understanding personality waiting for his presence in season two.
