It was rare to see a drama tackling the story revolving trauma cleaners; like the first time I've heard of the term it was on some detective story I think and it was a minor mention, so it was great to see one drama that touched this topic.
 
This drama was really soothing and comforting... especially for people who may have a hard time dealing with deaths of people dear to them and how it affected everyone around them. And I like how the drama had been written and how layered the stories were. Like on one hand we get to see how and what was involved in the trauma cleaning work as well as the untold stories of people who may have died alone with no one to take care of the things they left behind. On the other hand, we're also seeing how through the trauma cleaning work, Geurum and Sanggu were also indirectly attempting to accept the death of their loved ones.
 
I especially love the focus on Sanggu's character. Like at the beginning he wasn't too keen on becoming a guardian to his nephew and helping out with the trauma cleaning job. Yet as time went on we get to see him getting used to the job and clear his misunderstanding against his deceased older brother.
First two episodes looked decent enough and for people who already seen Goblin before, they would surely be already familiar with some of the supernatural concept like Grandmother Samshin. In a way, the story line had a similar vibe as Joseon Exorcist. As in the whole demon exorcism etc. That said, I do wish the series well and not encountering that same problem faced by the previous drama. Since I really wanna know how the story will end later.

So far the CGI effects and cinematography were looking very good and adds to the whole supernatural atmosphere. With the many focus on the eyes of people, I can't help finding that that many of the actors' eyes in this drama looking so pretty.
