Previously, the latest tvN drama, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty,” was planned to star two main actors: Girls’ Generation’s Im YoonA and actor Park Sunghoon. However, after a controversy surrounding Park Sunghoon’s Instagram story heated up, he reportedly stepped down from his role, and actor Lee Chaemin stepped in as his replacement for the male lead in “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.”
A distinctive blend of time travel, royal politics, and gourmet narrative is anticipated in tvN’s next weekend drama “Bon Appetit, Your Majesty” directed by Jang Tae-yoo, written by fGRD, produced by Film Grida and Jung Universe. The cast and production team of the drama raised anticipation for its August 23 premiere by revealing important details and insights during the inaugural press conference, which was held today at The Saint, D-Cube City in Sindorim.
Lee Chae-min will take on the role of the tyrant king, Lee Heon, for the first time since his debut in the new tvN weekend drama “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” . Having shown remarkable growth with each project, attention is focused on his upcoming transformation.
Following a lengthy filming process, “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty” is set to premiere on August 23rd. Prior to its official premiere, the main cast held a press conference on August 19th, introducing the drama to the public for the first time.
During the press conference, netizens acknowledged the chemistry between Im YoonA and Lee Chaemin, a distinction previously doubted due to Lee Chaemin’s perceived lack of youth/babyface for his role in “Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.” As expressed on the online forum Theqoo, netizens shared their reactions and opinions, including:
- Handsome and beautiful, a great visual combination.
- I’m looking forward to this drama ㄷㄱㄷㄱ
- I didn’t have any expectations, but seeing this, it turns out their chemistry is great.
- At first, I thought the male lead was too young, but seeing YoonA, who also looks youthful and their age difference isn’t as big as I thought, their visuals together are actually quite good.
- They’re both okay in terms of looks, but I don’t know if they’re romantically compatible.
- I looked up their birth years, and it turns out there’s a 10-year age difference…
- I prefer this male lead. His visuals are also perfect for pairing with YoonA.
- This is my first time seeing Lee Chaemin, but he has an amazing aura, visuals, and face. He has great chemistry with YoonA.
- Oh, his visuals are really good. I think they look a bit alike.
- The male and female leads’ visuals are really good and match well. It’ll be fun to watch.
