Apart from these two stars, the drama will feature more talents taking on pivotal roles. Lee Sae On is set to appear as two characters: in the past likely Lee Yi Cheom, a man who is determined to get what he wants, and in the present Lee Hyuk, a talented chef who is the youngest to earn the Korean Master Chef title.
Lee Soo Min will also embody two roles: Mae Chang, a pretty woman who also has a taste for humor, and Jung Mi Sol, a Korean commercials star who was a child actor.
As revealed by the production team, Lee Soo Min will also switch her roles between the Joseon dynasty and the modern era. While revealing the cast lineup, the production team shared that not only good acting, but viewers can also expect to drool on some good feast that will be featured in various scenes since the drama’s theme heavily relies on the concept of food.
“The story of Heo Gyun, who accidentally time-slips to modern times, will unfold dynamically. You can look forward to the narratives of the characters, each with their own stories,” said the production team.
Heo’s Diner is set to premiere on March 24 at 5 PM on Netflix.
