Lim Yoon-ah, who has always drawn attention for her beauty, is attracting attention for her acting this time.
Im Yoon-ah is receiving enthusiastic response for playing the role of French chef Yeon Ji-young, who time-slipped to the past at the best moment in tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama "The Tyrant's Chef" (directed by Jang Tae-yu, script fGRD, planned studio dragon, film drawing, and Jeong Yu-nibus).
In particular, Yeon Ji-young in the play is a character who has time-slip into a suddenly unfamiliar era, but survives with excellent cooking skills, a strong personality, and a brilliant strategy to turn crisis into opportunity, while Lim Yoon-ah is focusing attention by firmly supporting the center of the play through her unique lively expressive power even in extreme situations.
Above all, Im Yoon-ah made careful efforts to complete her performance by attending a cooking academy and receiving advice from actual chefs, and the scene of the French cooking contest presented in episode 1 was also well-prepared and fluent in long-breathing French lines.
In this regard, director Jang Tae-yu, who was in charge of directing 『The Tyrant's Chef" said about the reason for casting Lim Yoon-ah at the production presentation, "It was not a drama that an ordinary actor could do because he had to have experience in historical dramas and a sharp image that looked like a chef when cooking. I wondered if there was an actor who could do this, but I was hoping that if there was a wannabe, it would be like Yoona. Like a coincidence, I got to be with this work as if it were meant to be, and they prepared so hard. He praised himself for surprisingly doing a lot of things himself.
In addition, Park Kook-jae, the author of the original web novel "Chef of the Tyrant", also applauded the perfect synchronicity with the character, writing on social media that `I can't think of anyone more suitable than actor Lim Yoon-ah for the role of Yeon Ji-young.'
