If Lee Chae-min completely stole your heart in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, you’re certainly not alone, and the good news? This isn’t the only drama where he’s left viewers swooning. Interestingly, Lee wasn't always the first choice to play King Lee-heon in the time-travel K-drama. Queen of Tears actor Park Sung-hoon was initially finalized, but had to leave after the Squid Game Season 2 controversy gained everyone's attention.
With Park stepping down from the leading role, Lee only had a month to train himself and star alongside fan-favorite actress Lim Yoon-a. When the K-drama premiered, it was an instant hit. Fans loved the story, characters, blend of fantasy, humor, and time-travel.
But what truly stood out was the undeniable chemistry between Lee Chae-min and Yoona. Fans may know Yoona from her days with Girls’ Generation and her roles in King the Land, Pretty Crazy, and more, while Lee Chae-min captured hearts and rose to fame with Bon Appétit, Your Majesty on Netflix, and tvN.
So, if you wish to explore five K-dramas where he was featured, keep reading below!

Watching this series, you can’t help but notice a similar charm in Lee Chae-min’s character, much like how Cha Eun-woo’s role won hearts in True Beauty. Jae-yeol, despite being popular, only finds interest in Ban Hee-jin, another student who is dealing with the pain of her past love relationship.
Where to watch: You can enjoy Crushology 101 on Amazon Prime Video.

Hierarchy is among the K-dramas that made headlines in 2024, mostly for featuring some of the most charming young actors from the South Korean entertainment industry. And this is also the K-drama where you will find Bon Appétit, Your Majesty actor Lee Chae-min.
He appears as Kang Ha, a key figure who steps into the elite institution, Jooshin High School. Just like his other roles, Lee looks incredibly smart in this show. However, his character harbors a deep-seated desire for revenge.
Kang Ha lost his twin brother, who was also a part of the school, and died under mysterious circumstances. So, he transfers to Jooshin High to expose the corruption and messed-up hierarchy in the institution.
Where to watch: Hierarchy is available to stream on Netflix.
4) See You in My 19th Life
