'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God' cast to reunite for 10th anniversary special

Gong Yoo, Kim Go Eun, Lee Dong Wook, Yoo In Na, and other cast members of the drama Guardian: The Lonely and Great God will reunite to mark its 10th anniversary.

On March 26, tvN stated, "Through 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God 10th Anniversary (working title)', Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, Yoo In Na, and the main cast of the series will go on a short trip together." 

First aired on tvN in 2016, Goblin, aka Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, set a historic record at the time by becoming the first cable drama to surpass a 20% viewership rating. Even after its conclusion, it has continued to receive love through overseas platforms and is regarded as one of the representative dramas that helped spread the Korean Wave. 

The actors' nuanced performances, writer Kim Eun Sook's iconic dialogue, director Lee Eung Bok's visual aesthetics, and the OST — which completed the emotional tone of the series — dominated popularity charts for quite some time. In 2017, it swept major awards, including Grand Prize (Daesang) at the Baeksang Arts Awards, Best Drama at the 10th Korea Drama Awards and 11th Korean Cable TV Awards.

This 10th-anniversary special is expected to serve as an occasion to reaffirm the love Goblin has received. The main cast members will go on a short trip together and are expected to take time to look back on the iconic scenes, memorable lines, and the special, meaningful moments the drama left behind.

tvN stated, "We believe Goblin is an iconic work that has continued to receive love beyond the time when it aired. Through this 10th-anniversary special, we aim to reminisce about viewers' memories with tvN and evoke nostalgia for the drama of a lifetime they are reuniting with. The smiles and emotions of that time, the unchanging chemistry among the actors even after 10 years, and the lingering impressions of the work will return once again, so we ask for your great anticipation."

The program is scheduled to air in the first half of this year.
