'Goblin' cast reunites for 10th anniversary, reveals behind-the-scenes secrets

A decade after its premiere, the beloved South Korean drama "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," also known as "Goblin," has brought its main cast back together for a special reunion. Gong Yoo, Kim Go-eun, Yoo In-na, and Lee Dong-wook embarked on "The Goblin 10th Anniversary Journey," revisiting iconic filming locations and reminiscing about their time on set.

We weren't even familiar with each other yet, and the director told us to kiss.

During the special, which aired on Hami Video, the cast shared numerous behind-the-scenes secrets that fans had never heard before. One of the most surprising revelations came from Gong Yoo, who recalled filming a pivotal kiss scene with Kim Go-eun on their very first day of shooting. "We weren't even familiar with each other yet, and the director told us to kiss," Gong Yoo humorously recounted.

The reason for filming the famous buckwheat flower kiss scene so early was the impending end of the flower's blooming season. The production team had to prioritize capturing the romantic moment, despite the actors' initial awkwardness. Kim Go-eun added that the scene was filmed first because the flowers were about to wilt, acknowledging the pressure of performing such an intimate scene while still getting to know each other.

Beyond the kiss scene, the reunion special also featured other lighthearted moments. Yoo In-na recalled Lee Dong-wook's poor condition during his first scene, where he appeared weak and congested. Lee Dong-wook admitted to having a high fever the night before, leading to a humorous exchange where Yoo In-na questioned his sincerity. The cast's playful banter and shared laughter underscored their strong off-screen bond, which has endured since the drama's conclusion.
