EXO’s Xiumin And Lee Sae On Stand With Their Backs To Each Other In Poster For Upcoming Drama “Heo’s Diner”

Mar 17, 2025

Upcoming drama “Heo’s Diner” has unveiled a new poster!

Based on the web novel of the same name, “Heo’s Diner” is a fantasy rom-com about the events that unfold when Heo Gyun (EXO’s Xiumin), a figure from the Joseon era, travels 400 years into present time and unintentionally starts a restaurant.

Xiumin stars as Heo Gyun, a celebrated genius known for his remarkable writing skills and keen eye for aesthetics. Lee Sae On plays the dual roles of Lee Yi Chum, a determined and ambitious figure from the Joseon era, and Lee Hyuk, the youngest person to earn the title of Korean Master Chef in present day.

In the newly released poster, Heo Gyun and Lee Hyuk are seen standing with their backs to each other as if wary of one another. Heo Gyun is captured with his arms crossed and an unusually cold expression on his face. On the other hand, Lee Hyuk commands attention with his intense gaze. His expression clearly conveys his unwavering determination to do whatever it takes to get what he wants, making viewers curious about his hidden ambitions.

The poster hints at constant clashes between the two geniuses. Lee Hyuk is a character who is honest about his desires, and he sees Heo Gyun as a thorn in his side, constantly keeping him in check. Meanwhile, Heo Gyun faces uncertainty as he tries to safeguard what’s important to him amid Lee Hyuk’s relentless pursuit.

With Heo Gyun and Lee Hyuk’s contrasting personalities, it remains to be seen how Xiumin and Lee Sae On bring these characters to life. Having previously showcased great chemistry in “CEO-Dol Mart,” expectations are high for their performance in “Heo’s Diner” as well.
