Moon Ga Young might reunite with Cha Eun Woo in a new tvN drama called ‘Seorabeol Knife’ . The actress received an offer to play the lead role of Princess Deokyeong, a member of the Silla royal family. Cha Eun Woo is also in talks to play the male lead, an Italian chef who runs a one-Michelin-star restaurant.
If both actors confirm their appearances, this will mark their first project together since the hit drama ‘True Beauty’ , which aired in 2020. The news broke on September 8, 2026, when Moon Ga Young’s agency, Fantagio, confirmed that she is reviewing the offer.
A Cooking-Themed Romance With a Time-Slip Twist
‘Seorabeol Knife’ is a cooking-themed romance drama. The story follows an Italian chef, known as the “temptation of the Mediterranean,” who owns a one-Michelin-star restaurant called Orot. He time-slips to the Silla Kingdom after following a 1,000-year-old prophecy hidden inside a gold-plated honey box.
In the Silla era, he meets Princess Deokyeong, the only seonggol (the highest social class in the Silla period) member of the royal family. She is a demanding gourmet who dreams of becoming the kingdom’s first queen. The drama will show their journey to discover the finest flavors in the land.
Moon Ga Young’s Role as Princess Deokyeong
Moon Ga Young has been offered the role of Princess Deokyeong. She is described as a pure royal bloodline member who is deeply religious and highly curious. She has exceptional senses for incense and cuisine, and she also has an unmatched eye for calligraphy and painting. Her character is a food lover who wants to prove the true meaning of “taste”.
Cha Eun Woo’s Role as a Michelin-Star Chef
Cha Eun Woo is in talks to play the male lead, an Italian chef who runs a one-Michelin-star restaurant. His character time-slips to the Silla Kingdom and meets Princess Deokyeong. The drama will show how these two characters from different times come together.

The drama will be directed by Jang Tae Yoo, who is known for his work on ‘Bon Appétit, Your Majesty’ and ‘My Love from the Star’ . ‘Bon Appétit, Your Majesty’ recorded a peak viewership rating of 17.1 percent. ‘My Love from the Star’ reached a peak rating of 28.1 percent.
