The bromance is expected to go beyond mere friendship. Netizens are anticipating Taecyeon in his first potential BL (Boy Love) role.
This isn’t Taecyeon’s sole role in a Japanese project. Previously, he has been filming the new Japanese film La Grande Maison Paris, a film adaptation of the popular 2019 J-Drama La Grande Maison Tokyo. His character is Rick Yuan, a Korean-Canadian pastry chef. The idol-actor reportedly spoke three languages throughout filming: Korean, Japanese, and French.
Natsuki Obana (Takuya Kimura) and Rinko Hayami (Kyoka Suzuki) opens a new restaurant in Paris, France. Running a restaurant in a foreign country is very difficult for them. They even have a hard time sourcing satisfactory ingredients for their dishes. One day, due to a mistake at a gala dinner, Natsuki Obana promises his former mentor that if he doesn’t get three Michelin stars he will quit the restaurant and leave France.
