The Cast That’s Coming Back
All five lead actors — Kim Yoo Jung, Park Bo Gum, Jung Jinyoung, Chae Soo Bin, and Kwak Dong Yeon — are currently in discussions to participate in the reunion variety show. That’s the full original gang, and the fact that all five are in talks makes this feel like a genuine celebration rather than a half-hearted throwback.
The original drama was a cultural phenomenon in its time. Based on a popular web novel, Love in the Moonlight depicted the palace romance between Crown Prince Lee Yeong and the cross-dressing eunuch Hong Ra On, recording a peak viewership rating of 23.3 percent — and earning Park Bo Gum and Kim Yoo Jung the Best Couple Award at the 2016 KBS Drama Awards.
Why This Reunion Feels So Special
Ten years is a long time in the Korean drama world, and each of these five actors has gone on to carve out distinct and impressive careers since their 2016 days. Seeing them together again in a variety format — where they can be relaxed, playful, and nostalgic — is the kind of content that reminds fans why they fell in love with K-dramas in the first place.
The broadcast date for the special hasn’t been confirmed yet, but filming is reportedly set for early August 2026, which means the show could land later in the year.
