The tvN fantasy series "Goblin" is one of the popular cable channel dramas given its unique storyline and a star-studded cast that includes Gong Yoo and Lee Dong Wook. Given the two actors' amazing on-screen chemistry, Gong and Lee's bromance was identified as one of the best pairings in the South Korean entertainment industry.
Gong and Lee have been entertaining avid Korean drama fans with their cute interactions in the tvN drama "Goblin." Also known as "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God," the drama tells the story of a cursed goblin and a grim reaper who has no memory of his past life.
