The special reunited beloved cast members Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook, Kim Go Eun, and Yoo In Na for a nostalgic trip to Gangneung to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the hit fantasy drama.
Later, Kim Byung Chul, Lee El, and Park Kyung Hye joined the gathering, recreating the warm chemistry that made the original series so memorable.

- The Grim Reaper’s registry book.
- Sunny’s jade ring.
The nostalgic set brought back memories of the beloved fantasy world that captivated audiences worldwide.
Lee Dong Wook surprised everyone by revealing that he had kept his complete Grim Reaper costume for the past 10 years. Meanwhile, Yoo In Na showed the cast a script signed by the actors, reflecting her enduring affection for the drama. Kim Go Eun and Yoo In Na also recreated the Grim Reaper “commuting look,” turning the front yard into an impromptu runway and filling the reunion with laughter.
