Cha Eun-woo cast in 'Bon Appétit, Your Majesty' spinoff

K-pop idol Cha Eun-woo, best known as a member of the popular boy group ASTRO, has been cast for a spinoff series of the hit drama Bon Appétit, Your Majesty. Unfortunately, the original actors Lim Yoon-a and Lee Chae-min will not be reprising their roles in the new installment, set within the same universe but with a distinct title and storyline.

The Hankook Ilbo reported that Cha will take on the male lead, replacing Lee, who gained nationwide popularity in South Korea and beyond. While Bon Appétit, Your Majesty aired in 2025, the spinoff is currently in the development stage, with talks ongoing to air it on tvN. The original series followed a successful chef as she traveled through time and interacted with a tyrant king who had an exceptional taste in food.

Lim and Lee's performances led to the drama receiving a nationwide viewership rating of 17.1 percent on Nielsen Korea and achieving chart success on Netflix.
