There is something about Goblin The Lonely God. Even after repeated viewings, it manages to hook you the same way it did the first time. We can't exactly put a finger on it but it just does. In fact, we feel it has done us a big favour by just existing. Goblin is our stress buster. Whenever we are lonely or sad or happy or want to feel loved, we watch it. One of the foremost reasons we go back to this Korean drama again and again is the superlative bromance between Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. From Goblin to Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, 7 K-dramas That Won Us Over With Their Bromances!.
Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook are fire in Goblin. Their bickering, their conflicted past, their support towards each other... there is just nothing that we don't love. It's a forever kind of friendship we would pay to watch! So when they suddenly reunited for a commercial, we couldn't keep calm. Just the sight of them giggling and being silly on the sets revived all the memories of Goblin.
Hence, we give you five reasons Korean showrunners should cast these two together PRONTO!
Highly Popular and Under Utilised
There's hardly anyone who didn't enjoy these two in Goblin. Their scenes are still get immense hits on social media and yet these two never reunited for a show. Is it too difficult to understand what a waste of a massive opportunity is this?
Big on bromance
Bromance has become one of the biggest drawing factors in Kdramas today. So it's time we bring back the OGs to the game. Yoo and Wook's bromance. on and off screen, will put everyone else's to shame!
Most watched show
Goblin is one of the most-watched Kdramas around the world. Clearly, it worked for a reason and these two are the major ones. So what's stopping you, people?

Friends from reel to real
We have seen these two in comical scenarios which have our hearts. But every time the temperament of the series changed to tragedy and sadness, their scenes shone brighter than all. There's a visible comfort between the two which helps them make every scene count. Perhaps a movie about two brothers with a dark tale would be simply fantastic to watch with the two in it.

Two good-looking men, Too good looking men
Have you looked at them? Gong Yoo's childish smile and that distinct 'Daddy' personality along with Lee Dong Wook's wicked charm leave our hearts in disarray. Why wouldn't you use that?
