The drama ‘Heo‘s Restaurant’ production team revealed the exciting script reading scene of the main actors, including Xiumin.

Why Not Media’s new drama ‘Heo‘s Restaurant’ (directed by Oh Hwan-min, Kim Kyung-eun / written by Sung So-hyun) is a fantasy comedy romance drama about Heo Gyun, a problematic figure from the Joseon Dynasty, who travels 400 years in the future to the present day and unintentionally opens a restaurant. It is based on the web novel of the same name (written by Jeon Seon-yeong).

The main characters who will lead ‘Heo’s Restaurant’ gathered in one place at the script reading scene. Directors Oh Hwan-min and Kim Kyung-eun, who were in charge of directing, screenwriter Sung So-hyun, and EXO‘s Xiumin (as Heo Gyun), Choo So-jung (as Bong Eun-sil), Lee Se-on (as Lee Yi-cheom/Lee Hyuk), Lee Soo-min (as Mae-chang/Jeong Mi-sol), Kim Hee-jung (as Eun-sil-mo), Oh Ji-ho (as assassin/Detective Kang), and Choi Won-myung (as King Gwanghae) all appeared in the film.

First, Xiumin took on the role of Heo Gyun, a genius acknowledged by everyone as well as having both a mysterious writing style and an outstanding aesthetic sense. Xiumin dominated the set as he perfectly immersed himself into the speech and facial expressions of Heo Gyun, who accidentally time-slipped from the Joseon Dynasty to the modern era. Xiumin’s signature Heo Gyun already made viewers‘ gums bloom.

On the other hand, Choo So-jung perfectly portrayed the role of Bong Eun-sil, the daughter of a restaurant with no signboard, raising expectations for her performance in the main story. Bong Eun-sil is a K-tempered character who cannot stand injustice and has a quick temper and has to keep her facts out of her mouth. Chu So-jung brought the character to life with her energetic acting, maximizing her charm.

Lee Se-on left a strong impression as Lee Yi-cheom, a goal-oriented person who does not care about the means and methods to get what he wants, and Lee Hyuk, who earned the title of the youngest Korean food master. It makes one wonder how Lee Se-on will complete the character who must achieve his goals, and what influence his presence will have on Heo Gyun and Eun-sil in the drama.

Lee Soo-min, who takes on a dual role with Lee Se-on, stole the spotlight with her high level of synchronization with Maechang, who has a beautiful appearance and the temperament of an excellent entertainer, and Jung Mi-sol, a CF star with a secret that no one knows. In addition, actors who make you feel reassured just by hearing their names, such as Kim Hee-jung, Oh Ji-ho, and Choi Won-myung, joined ‘Heo’s Kitchen’ and gave strength to it.

Xiumin, who finished the script reading, said, “As we read the script together, I feel like the puzzle is coming together more and more, rather than just imagining it on my own. I will work hard to bring you joy and fun,” and revealed some points to watch, saying, “Please look forward to how Heo Gyun will run ‘Heo‘s Kitchen’ and the up-and-down chemistry between him and Eun-sil.”

Choo So-jung said, “I will work hard so as not to become a burden to the actors and staff who work hard with me,” and added, “‘Heo’s Kitchen’ is a diverse drama where you can feel love, fun, and even emotion. Also, you can find delicious dishes that live up to the title as well as foods that are somewhat unfamiliar these days, so please show lots of interest and love,” he said.

Meanwhile, ‘Huh‘s Restaurant’, where you can see the irreplaceable chemistry of the four actors, will be released one episode at a time on Netflix and Wavve every Monday and Tuesday at 5 PM starting March 24.
