In an interview on September 30 in Gangnam, Seoul, Lee Chaemin was asked if the couple often discusses their projects with each other. He replied, “We don’t really talk much about work. Since we don’t go into detail on those things, it’s hard to give specific answers.”
When asked whether going public with his relationship created pressure, Lee explained, “Rather than being a burden, it actually motivates me to fully immerse myself in my character and show my passion. I try to control my mindset so I can give my best performance.”
The actor also addressed recent media reports suggesting that he and Ryu Da In were posting “Lovestagram” photos after they uploaded similar pictures on their social media accounts. “It wasn’t intentional,” Lee clarified. “I just thought it showed how much attention people are paying.”
In Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, Lee portrayed King Yi Heon, a cold and merciless ruler of Joseon known for his absolute authority and refined palate. Beneath his intimidating exterior, however, lies deep scars and insecurities. Lee’s nuanced performance, balancing ruthless power with hidden vulnerability, captivated viewers and helped drive the drama’s popularity.
The finale, aired on September 28, recorded a nationwide rating of 17.1% among paid households, marking a significant climb from its premiere episode, which started at 4.9% (Nielsen Korea). The fantasy romance about a time-traveling chef and a tyrant king closed as one of tvN’s standout hits of the year.
