She’s set to play Yeon Ji Yeong in the show, a top-notch French chef who’s transported to the Joseon Dynasty after having a car accident. The K-drama originally had Park Sung Hoon in the leading role, but after he stirred up controversy by posting NSFW content online, fans demanded a quick replacement. Producers responded by casting Lee Chae Min, keeping the momentum going without the drama.
