Actor Lee Sang-i takes on the challenge of melodramatic acting.

As a result of Ten Asia's coverage on the 4th, Lee Sang-i will appear on TV's original 'The Boss's Menu Table'. This is a spin-off of tvN's 'Because I Don't Want to Lose Money'. It is known that he went deep into the story of a novel in 'Because I Don't Want to Lose' and added and reorganized the content.

In 'The Boss' Menu Table', Lee Sang-i plays the CEO of a company and tells the story of how he falls in love with the company's nutritionist. This can be seen as meaningful for the actor as it is Lee Sang-i's first role in a melodrama.

In 'Because I Don't Want to Lose', Lee Sang-i plays Bok Gyu-hyeon, a third-generation chaebol and a non-marriage person who does not believe in fateful love. 'Because I Don't Want to Lose' is a drama that tells the story of Son Son-young (played by Shin Min-ah), a woman who got married because she didn't want to lose money, and Kim Ji-wook (played by Kim Young-dae), a man who became her husband because he didn't want to cause harm.

Director Kim Jeong-sik, who showed his witty side with TVING's original 'Drinking City Women', took the lead, and writer Kim Hye-young of 'Her Private Life' completed the story. Actors Shin Min-ah and Kim Young-dae have confirmed their appearances.

‘The Boss’s Menu Table’ is scheduled to be aired immediately after ‘Because I Don’t Want to Lose Money’ aired. ‘Because I don’t want to lose money’ will be aired for the first time on the 26th of next month.
