This is the appearance of Nam-joo, the historical drama that the small screen has been waiting for. Lee Chae-min's enthusiastic performance of ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’, which has entered romance, is receiving enthusiastic responses from viewers.

Lee Chae-min is exploding viewers' reactions by realizing the fantasy Rocco's dream through tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’  (directed by Jang Tae-yu). Lee Hun (Lee Chae-min), a tyrant of absolute taste, is a monarch who wields power and a person who has solitude and wounds. It was completed in three dimensions by meeting Lee Chae-min's deep eyes and delicate expressions, and he was reborn as the main character of the next generation Rocco by instantly renewing the 'life character'.

Lee Chae-min flew up in a new genre called fantasy romance historical drama. The distinct features and perfect visuals drew attention, and the friendly and affectionate eyes maximized the play's immersion. In the tender figure shown while thinking of her mother, the face of the young boy was reflected, and the repression of authority was filled with the momentum of a dignified monarch, raising the favorability of the character.

Lim Yoon-ah, who plays Yeon Ji-young, also caught the eye. Despite the confrontation of the first meeting, he changed the temperature of the play by creating tension and excitement at the same time, and raised the excitement index by conveying the pounding emotions in the narratives of the two accumulated over time to the small screen. Everyone was fascinated by the taste of Roko Lee Chae-min, who created romance tension with her understated emotional performance.

This work is also a new stage that can confirm the expansion of Lee Chae-min's acting spectrum. Unlike the freshness in the youth, ‘Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’ added a sense of stability with a serious tone and restrained vocalization suitable for the genre of historical drama. On top of that, he performed a variety of facial expressions suitable for the setting of an absolute taste monarch, doubled his freshness and emerged as a historical dark horse, revealing his ability as a main character.

Lee Chae-min's transformation, which is showing growth by expanding the stage to a new genre, will air on tvN every Saturday and Sunday at 9:10 p.m.
