Lee Se-ho plays the role of Lee Jang-kyun, a subordinate of the worst tyrant, King Yi Heon (played by Lee Chae-min), in "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty."

He has left a deep impression on viewers with his dense character performances in every project, and expectations are high for what kind of portrayal he will bring in this work.
"Bon Appetit, Your Majesty" has drawn great attention globally as many trusted actors, including director Jang Tae-yoo, who has created numerous hit works by crossing modern and historical genres with his sensuous direction, and actors Lim Yoona, Lee Chae-min, Kang Han-na, Choi Gwi-hwa, and Kim Kwang-kyu, have joined the cast. Lee Se-ho's addition will likely enrich and make the drama even more exciting.
Lee Se-ho, who debuted in the film "The Shepherds," has delivered excellent character performances across various genres and platforms, including films "Kingdom: Ashin of the North," "The Outlaws 3," "Nobleman," "Cross," "Jeon: Ran," "Nocturnal," and dramas "Hwarang," "Rebel: Thief Who Stole the People," "Courier," "Parasyte: The Grey," "The Fiery Priest 2," and "Trigger."
In particular, in the drama "The Trauma Code: Heroes on Call," he made a strong impression on viewers as Captain Lee Hyun-jong, who was injured in an attack by armed groups while deployed in South Sudan, and in the film "Revelations," he played a role of Jung Hwan-soo, the son of a pioneer church pastor and a contender for the lead pastor of a new church, showcasing impactful character performances. In the recently released "ONE: High School Heroes," he took on the role of Choi Ji-hyuk, a bully who dominated the second years with just a stick, winning viewers' love with raw and daring action performances as well as a villain filled with both malice and charisma.
Meanwhile, actor Lee Se-ho, who will appear starting this week and heighten the drama's tension, is part of the new tvN weekend drama "Bon Appetit, Your Majesty," which has received great love from viewers worldwide and is creating a box office craze.
