'Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip' featured a reunion of the legendary drama 'Goblin' cast.

In the second episode of 'Together, So Brilliantly God - Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip (hereinafter Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip),' which aired on the 5th, Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na embarked on a nostalgic trip to Gangneung to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the hit drama 'Goblin.' The episode continued with their journey. Notably, as the 10th-anniversary party officially began, Kim Byung-chul, Lee El, and Park Kyung-hye joined them, reaffirming the unbreakable chemistry among the 'Goblin' cast members that has remained unchanged over the years.

The episode aired on this day recorded an average rating of 3.6% and a peak of 4.9% based on Seoul metropolitan area households. In the target demographic of men and women aged 20–49, it achieved first place in the same time slot across cable and general entertainment channels (Nielsen Korea, paid platform basis), continuing its popularity.

Upon arriving at Jumunjin, Gangneung, the four actors headed to 'Gabi House,' where they would stay for one night and two days. The space, which faithfully recreated the world of 'Goblin'—including the iconic "red door" that traveled between Quebec, Eun-tak's school uniform and admission ticket, the grim reaper's ledger, and Sunny's "jade ring"—added to their joy. In particular, Lee Dong-wook revealed a set of grim reaper costumes he had carefully preserved for 10 years, while Yoo In-na shared a script signed by everyone, showcasing their unique affection for 'Goblin.' Additionally, Kim Go-eun and Yoo In-na's surprise performance on the courtyard runway, dressed in grim reaper work attire, was impossible to look away from.

To prepare for the official 10th-anniversary party, they also visited a supermarket. Yoo In-na, who had previously recorded the voice for navigation systems, brought the atmosphere to life with her real-life narration while driving through the store. This prompted Gong Yoo to share an anecdote about how he once heard Yoo In-na's voice on his navigation system during a trip to Jeju Island and contacted her, adding further interest. Speculation also continued regarding the identity of the guests before their arrival. Gong Yoo mentioned Yoon Kyung-ho, who has achieved great success since 'Goblin,' saying, "He is one year younger than me. I have always supported him, and I am so happy to see him do well. It felt like it was happening to someone close."

As the guests' arrival approached, the actors became even busier. Gong Yoo personally prepared a hearty meal of grilled pork belly with aged kimchi stew, along with various other dishes, leaving everyone in awe. The teamwork among the four was flawless, from Lee Dong-wook and Yoo In-na, who displayed a playful yet realistic couple-like dynamic, to the rest of the group. Gong Yoo, deeply passionate about meat, transformed into "Chef Gong" to prepare the main course, barbecue, while Yoo In-na, though inexperienced, carefully prepared seasoned cucumber salad. Lee Dong-wook and Kim Go-eun assisted in the kitchen, with Kim Go-eun receiving high praise for perfectly adjusting the seasoning of the cucumber salad while helping Yoo In-na.

The identities of the guests who attended the party were also revealed. The greatest scene-stealers who made 'Goblin' shine—Kim Byung-chul, Lee El, and Park Kyung-hye—officially joined the party. Notably, Kim Byung-chul, known as the ultimate villain in 'Goblin' and the protagonist of the infamous "breakup meme," even brought a sword symbolizing his character, Shin. Park Kyung-hye appeared in her maiden ghost costume from the drama, adding to the excitement. Unlike his villainous role, Kim Byung-chul displayed a warm impression and surprising wit, spreading laughter. Gong Yoo, Lee Dong-wook, Kim Go-eun, and Yoo In-na warmly welcomed the special guests, expressing their overwhelming emotions at the reunion after 10 years with remarks like, "It's exactly the same as back then," and "It feels so strange to be together like this."

The official party began, and dishes prepared by Gong Yoo, including crispy-on-the-outside-tender-on-the-inside pork belly, aged kimchi stew, and Yoo In-na's seasoned cucumber salad, were served on the table. The actors indulged in a feast, with Kim Go-eun exclaiming, "It's so delicious? This is crazy!" As they enjoyed their meal, nostalgic stories were shared. Lee El, who played the Three Old Women in the drama, revealed behind-the-scenes details about spending hours in makeup to portray elderly characters. Kim Byung-chul recalled using edible dye for his black lips and tongue during filming. In particular, Lee El expressed gratitude toward Yoo In-na, saying, "Thank you for treating me warmly," conveying her appreciation to her same-age co-star.

The record-breaking hit drama 'Goblin' was an unforgettable work for the actors as well. Recalling the challenging filming process that matched the show's grand scale, they shared stories of how they supported each other even in difficult situations, leaving viewers deeply moved. In particular, Yoo In-na said, "Go-eun suffered terribly to the point she couldn't speak," adding, "Yet, it was amazing that she smiled like a 19-year-old girl in every scene." The actors agreed on their shared sentiment: "It's strange, but I feel our bond has grown even stronger over the years." At the end of the broadcast, the actors' stories evoking memories of 'Goblin' were intercut with footage from the original filming set, further enhancing the emotional impact.

Meanwhile, tvN's 20th-anniversary edition 'Goblin 10th Anniversary Trip' airs on Saturdays and Sundays at 9:10 p.m.
