Cha Eunwoo Considers 'Sarabeol Knife' as Next Project, Reuniting with Moon Ga Young After Seven Years

In Korea, news of Cha Eunwoo considering the drama 'Sarabeol Knife' as his next project is currently generating significant buzz. The project is particularly anticipated because it will be directed by Jang Tae Yoo and could mark a reunion with Moon Ga Young, seven years after their collaboration in the drama 'True Beauty'.

'Sarabeol Knife' is a romance drama centered around cooking, depicting a Michelin chef who time-slips into the Silla era and meets a princess. While some initially speculated it might be a second season of 'Chef of Tyrant', the production team denied this. However, the synopsis and production crew suggest a similar overall concept to 'Chef of Tyrant', with Jang Tae Yoo's involvement drawing further attention. Cha Eunwoo has reportedly been offered the role of Kim Jae Gyeom, a Michelin-starred Italian restaurant owner, and Moon Ga Young the role of Princess Deokyeong, who dreams of becoming Silla's first queen.

Bloggers express fresh anticipation for Cha Eunwoo's first venture into a culinary-themed project. They note that while his participation is not yet officially confirmed and remains in the review stage, this alone is a positive sign. However, they also caution that variables can arise before a contract is signed and production is officially announced. There is high expectation for this project, given the global success of formats similar to 'Chef of Tyrant', though some concerns about potential predictability in the storyline also exist.
