On December 1, the official YouTube channel of “Channel 15ya” released a video titled, “Giving Deok Sun a Disposable Camera. Gave her a film camera for a trip with the Ssangmun-dong family.

In the clip, the production team hands a film camera to Hyeri, who played Deok Sun in the beloved drama. They ask her to take photos during the trip, saying they plan to make a video later using the footage. Hyeri responds, “Sure! I’m going to Gangwon Province with the Ssangmun-dong family.”

The concept appears to parody modern Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts made from film camera photos, transforming real moments into cinematic memories.

The teaser features film shots of the Reply 1988 cast, affectionately known as the “Ssangmun-dong family,” drawing attention for their heartfelt candidness. Among them are Hyeri, Park Bo Gum, Sung Dong Il, Lee Il Hwa, Ra Mi Ran, Kim Sung Kyun, Choi Moo Sung, Kim Sun Young, Yoo Jae Myung, Go Kyung Pyo, Lee Dong Hwi, and Ryu Hye Young—all reuniting in a moment that stirred emotions for longtime fans.

Adding to the excitement, a group photo already viral online was revealed to have been taken with the same film camera, evoking an even stronger sense of nostalgia. The actors’ wardrobe choices reflected the 1980s vibe, making the reunion feel like a genuine time slip.

Ryu Jun Yeol, whose absence from the previously released group photo drew attention, was also spotted in film camera photos from the shoot. Although he couldn’t attend the group session due to schedule conflicts, he did participate in individual and opening segment filming.

One newly released photo shows Ryu Jun Yeol sitting between Ra Mi Ran, Kim Sung Kyun, Ahn Jae Hong, and Lee Min Ji, much to fans’ delight.

The behind-the-scenes shots from this MT trip, captured on film, showcase the cast’s genuine camaraderie and have sparked waves of excitement online. Fans and netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, “Wow, the whole Reply 1988 team reunited!”, “You can feel the fun through the photos,” and “It really feels like a school trip Ryu Jun Yeol is there too!”

The Reply 1988 10th Anniversary special will air in three parts on tvN, with the first episode premiering on December 19 at 8:40 PM KST.
