Two decades of K-drama history and Goblin still sits at the very top of “desert island” drama lists for fans worldwide. The chemistry between Gong Yoo and Kim Go Eun, and the iconic bromance of Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook, are the kind of once-in-a-generation TV magic that simply can’t be replicated.
What Will the Special Look Like?
In celebration of the upcoming 10-year anniversary, the main cast will go on a brief trip together, spending time looking back on iconic scenes, lines, and meaningful moments from the project.
A source from tvN shared that beyond just the time it aired, Goblin is an iconic project that continues to receive love even now, and that the special will bring nostalgic vibes — reuniting with a drama of a lifetime — while the unchanging chemistry of the actors even after 10 years will greet viewers once more.
Think of it as a warm, unscripted reunion road trip where the cast reflects on scenes that broke our hearts, lines we still quote, and moments that defined K-drama history. This format worked beautifully for Reply 1988‘s anniversary special, and expectations are just as high here.
