Now, in his first small-screen role in four years, Gong Yoo plays a goblin looking for a human bride to end his immortality.

Oh!K-GoblinLee Dong Wook (Hotel King) also joins the star-studded cast, as a grim reaper with amnesia. The goblin's love interest is portrayed by Kim Go Eun, who recently won the Best New TV Actress gong at the Paeksang Arts Awards.

Marianne Lee, Turner's VP of General Entertainment Content, said: "Throughout 2016, Oh!K has gone from strength to strength - BECOMING home to the very best in Korean entertainment. Series such as W-Two Worlds, Shopaholic Louis and the ever-popular variety show Infinite Challenge have recently been real rating-winners for the channel."

"Now with the acquisition of Goblin, Oh!K has secured one of the highest-profile dramas of the year. It has an eye-catching cast with a hugely-talented production crew, and Korean drama fans are in for a real treat," she added. It will air on Saturdays and Sundays on the channel at 7pm from December 3.

Turner acquired all rights for the series from the production house Studio Dragon in seven markets: Hong Kong, Macau, Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.

In addition to Goblin, Turner also holds full Syndication and broadcast rights for the drama Saimdang, across all platforms in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei, which will debut early next year.

Starring Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun and Yoo In-na, Goblin tells the unusual story of two accidental roommates: a handsome 100-year-old goblin and a forgetful grim reaper, who helps the dead pass through to the next world. The goblin (Gong Yoo) is sick of the immortal life, and wants to end it by falling in love with a human mortal. Meanwhile, Euntak (Kim Go Eun), who can see the dead, falls in love with the goblin but has to avoid the naïve reaper (Lee Dong Wook) in order to cheat death.
