Love calls are pouring in for Lee Chaemin, who showcased an outstanding performance in 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty.'

In the drama, Lee Chaemin played the role of Lee Heon, a tyrant with an absolute sense of taste, and drove the drama's popularity by effortlessly navigating between romance and comedy. Despite being cast in just a month before filming began, he perfectly immersed himself in the character, mastering everything from horseback riding, archery, action scenes, and even traditional dance in a short period of time. Im Yoona praised him, saying, "Even with so little time to prepare, he came fully equipped. It felt like he was Lee Heon himself." Director Jang Taeyoo also expressed his trust, saying, "He prepared so thoroughly that he was always ready to film."

Above all, the industry is showing keen interest in Lee Chaemin's next move. According to an insider, it is rumored that as 'Bon Appétit, Your Majest' neared its finale, Lee Chaemin has already received around 30 scripts for upcoming projects. In other words, he has quickly become the 'one-pick' of Kora's film industry and drama producers.

You don't have to be sad about saying goodbye to Lee Chaemin from 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' which is set to end this week. He will return later in Netflix's original series 'Cashero' in the second half of the year.

Dramas that I know are good, but can't bring myself to watch

 

Dramas that I know are good, but can't bring myself to watch:

1. My Mister
2. My Liberation Notes
3. You and Everything Else
4. The Interest of Love

3,000 people agreed on Threads

theqoo

-I quit watching #1 and #2. I haven't watched #3 yet, but it has a lot of good reviews so I'm currently starting to watch it. I haven't watched #4.

-You peeked at my Netflix's watch list, didn't you?

-I haven't watched #1 and #2, currently watching #3, and started watching #4 but dropped it halfway...

-I totally agree with #1ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I want to watch it, but at the same time, I don't want toㅜㅜ

-Same. I don't like depressing dramas, so I can't bring myself to watch these dramas.

-I've only watched #1, but I know exactly what the OP means. It took me forever to start, but once I did, I binged it straight through. But still, I could never rewatch it.

-This is basically a list of dramas that are fun but not fun.

-For real... I ended up dropping all of them. So many people call #1 the best drama of their life, but honestly, I couldn't focus after about 2 and a half episodes.

-I don't watch them because they look boring. Especially #1 and #2, I just hate it.

-I tried 3 times before I finally made it through #1. Honestly, it's the best drama ever.

-Wow... The OP's taste is really similar to mine.

-Haven't watched any of these, and I don't find them interesting to watch.

-I've watched #1, #2, and #3. I dropped #4 halfway. I also dropped #1 halfway the first time I watched it, but then I continued and finished it later.

-Add 'When Life Gives You Tangerines' to this list. I haven't watched any of these dramas.

Whoa... Review of Kim Woobin's fansign that makes you gasp out loud

 

It's been a while since I went to a fan signing event, so I did some research on what people do at these events these days. Coincidentally, my birthday was a week away. I wanted to try asking a question fans often ask idols at fan signing events: "If you were to give me perfume as a gift, what scent do you think would suit me?" At that moment, he suddenly called his manager! That's when I sensed something was off... He asked his manager to bring out the perfume he was using, then said, "This is a gift for you, Noona. Take it." I was flustered because that's not what I meant to happen... But form then it turned into a "No~~" and "Take it~~" battle. He said, "I wore this perfume when I filmed 'Genie, Make a Wish." 

I also asked him to sign the photocard that I brought. While explaining to him that it was just a picture of him but in a Ghibli style, he insisted it wasn't him, so I emphasized, "This is you!"

In the end, I explained,"I was just going to buy and use whatever perfume you recommended." But he gave me more explanation, saying that he thought it would suit me. Woobin-ah, thank you. Lastly, he even told me to enjoy my dinner.

He gave the fan his perfume right on the spot.


Along with my review of today's fan signing event, can I cautiously share a heartwarming story about him?🫣 I've been a fan of Woobin for over 10 years. I have a lot of touching stories about him, but today's was too much for me to hold them in!! At fansigns, I always ramble because I can't think of anything to say. Woobin asked me why I'm always so nervous, even though I often see himㅠ

When I ran out of things to say, I started bragging, "Guess what I'm eating today!" I bragged about how my fellow Woobin fans and I used the money we saved up in a group account to book an expensive teppanyaki restaurant. I even said, "Woobin-ah, we're eating with the money we saved for u, so you should come join us too!!"ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ He laughed and praised me. He said it sounded delicious and that he was so jealous to hear that.

Another Unnie also bragged about eating something delicious that night, so Woobin ended up finding out the restaurant's name. The restaurant's name is kinda funny. This isn't an ad, but it's called Gwangmyeong New York New York Teppanyaki. It's really good♡ The chef is just like... a hidden master. Anyway, after the fan signing, we chatted then went to the restaurant for our reservation.

The chef came out and said, "Kim Woobin-nim came by earlier and already paid for your meal" What...?? I'm sorry, what???? He came by????? Why would Kim Woobin do that??? And the chef said, "Yes, he came in person and paid. He even tried to order wine, but he didn't know what you'd want to drink. So he left his manager's business card and said he would transfer the remaining once you were done."

He continued, "Do celebrities usually come in person to pay like this? I was just as shocked as you are... He's really tall and... So handsome!! He didn't just pay for the course you originally reserved, he paid for the most expensive course." Ah... From that moment, I was so touched I nearly cried(I didn't literally cry, but inside, I did😭)

Can you believe we ate lobster and steak mixed with tears...? Honestly, I don't even know how I stayed sane while eating, but I devoured every bite of the mealㅠ I'm on a diet and it's completely ruined now, but at least I became a happy pig! I've received so much warmth from Woobn over the years, but a surprise like this don't happen so often. So after a lot of consideration, I'm sharing this😭

Just in case you're thinking, "Why only those fans?"... We were just lucky by chance today. But as you all know, Woobin always treats every fans sincerely. This is something that could happen to anyone, anywehere, at any time.Please just take this as a heartwarming story. Sorry if this made anyone uncomfortable.

He even found out where the fans were eating, went there himself, and paid for the meal. Since wine is a matter of personal taste, he didn't choose one and said he would pay for it later.

theqoo

-I'm so jealous... I don't even wish for that much from my bias. I just hope he'd at least roll down the car window after schedules. Wow, just writing this makes me feel pathetic.

-Whoa... The fact that he personally went to the restaurant to pay is just.. Unbelievable.

-Whoa... That's so sweetㅠㅠ

-That fan was already a fan around 11 years ago, when Lee Jongsuk and Kim Woobin were active together. She's still a fan nowㅋㅋㅋㅋ She really deserves that🥹🥹

-If that happened to me at a fan signing even, I'd probably cry so hardㅠㅠ Such a good actor and good fansㅠㅠ This is so heartwarming.

-Whoa~ I'm jealous of those fans and Kim Woobin is just so coolㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-How could you not be touched? Even non-fans would be amazedㄷㄷ He really made his fans' day...

-Whoa... How could she use that perfume? If I were her, I don't think I could ever use it.

-Whoa... He just handed over the perfume he personally used...ㅜㅜㅜㅜ I've only heard good things and heartwarming stories about Km Woobinㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Whoa... If I were that fan, I'd seriously be a fan for life. That's just insane.

-Kim Woobin always proves he reads the letters he gets from fans by posting pictures of the opened envelopes...ㅠㅠ

-That's so sweet... Imagine how happy his fans must be.

-He realy seems like such a good personㅜㅜ So sweet...

-I've always liked Woobin since his debut.

-Crazy... How is this even possible? I'll be a fan forever...
