Guardian: The Lonely and Great God (Goblin)(2016)
This series is suggested for ages all ages and may contain mature romantic content. Biblical themes explored include {"reference":"Song of Songs 8:6","theme":"Love stronger than death","description":"The central romance — a love that persists across death, reincarnation, and centuries — enacts the Song's declaration that love is as strong as death and its flames cannot be quenched by many waters. The show's theological wager is that love is the one force that transcends the reaper's boundary."}, {"reference":"John 15:13","theme":"Greater love","description":"Eun-tak's role — the one whose action will free the Goblin at the cost of his life — places her in the position of the greatest love: laying down not her life but her future, consenting to the loss she loves in order to complete his redemption."}, {"reference":"Ezekiel 18:20","theme":"Individual responsibility","description":"Wang Yeo's penance work as a Grim Reaper — serving in death administration as consequence for the murders he committed as a king — enacts the Ezekielian theology of individual accountability: the soul that sins shall die, each person bearing their own iniquity."}, {"reference":"Romans 5:20","theme":"Where sin abounded, grace abounded more","description":"The show's structure — unjust suffering producing eventual restoration, centuries of penance leading to forgiveness, love persisting across the boundary of death — embodies Paul's pattern: where sin and suffering abounded, grace abounded all the more."}. We recommend parents review content before watching with younger children.
